The Battle; For Clean Air And Fire Safety, Continues!
Update He’s still doing it. He’s; just, “pretending harder, that he’s not.” June 17, 2017
It’s continually; been, the overwhelming odors of smells like scented candles, incense. Like just now I spent 2 hours cleaning the apartment and immediately, again, odor of dirty laundry, permeates the front door, of course his favorite.
About 5 min ago and then, the odor of what smells like, more laundry (like out of the dryer odor). I suspect it’s poorly bagged dirty laundry and deliberate.
Guy tries to fake me out, besides the fact he’s a chemical junkie. I smell what I’m sure smells like incense right now. And because, these type odors go past my door all night. 3, 4am. Several times last night and again just now; aprox 11:10am odor of dirty laundry, then 5 minutes later heard someone in hall.
He woke me about 4 or 5am as usual. First; I heard some sort of ringtone sounded like music, then woke up shortly afterward. Had 2 hours sleep. Had 5 hours sleep earlier in the afternoon.
This Owner has to fix my door so it’s properly insulated to keep these types of odors out.
Besides; if the door’s not air tight, It’s not, fire safe.
I e-mailed the Office with a list of a few repairs needed. Haven’t heard anything back yet.
They resist weatherstripping the doors because then they can’t sniff for tobacco odors from the hall.
I told them for the thousandth time. I don’t smoke cigarettes, I don’t smoke anything. I have a $150 vaporizer. Actually; I have two. I have a new unused spare. Have to have a spare. HUD new non smoking rules allow vaporizers/More
I’m in this new apartment less than three months. Since March 17th.
The continuing story, so far; Fire Safety-Believe it; or not, I got another chemical junkie neighbor. An accomplished liar too. This diary; even scared me, when writing it. But seems to have made no impression, on this guy/neighbor, next door.
And "Pretending" Electronic Sounds, Chemicals, Affect On, The Heart, Etc.
Some people just love to play games.
They get some type of kick out of abusing people.
For no reason.
Or, for any reason.
How crazy is it to begin with; that that this new neighbor, is, just like, the previous lunatic neighbor?
Not that crazy; since one, in every 25 people, is likely to have, sociopathic traits and tendencies.
12 Million Americans, Are Sociopaths.
Sociopath
With a sociopath one doesn’t have to do anything wrong. All one has to do; is, have something, they want. How true that is. I speak from a myriad, of experiences there.
In this case; it appears to be, my apartment. (With an on site laundry, free parking and mail room).
My new neighbor next door, must have some type of agenda. No one is this rude and uncaring, without an agenda.
He doesn’t even know me. Why would he want to hurt me? Right?
Why is it that this guy doesn’t care that I can hear the loud noises he makes all night long or the unpleasant odors he is releasing into our shared, space. (*in links above). I wouldn’t do that to someone.
Why does this guy think it’s ok, to treat me, like this?
One might think; if you can’t trust a Hippie, one, can’t trust anyone.
Except I know there are many, many, “posers” in the world. He’s just another. Big, poser!
I’ve met some; truly insane, people in my life. Most have reasons. But these supposed; “normal,” people, who have pretty much anything they ever wanted and are still bad, they puzzle me.
This guy’s, got a good act going. Fools everyone. He pretends, he’s an old Hippie. Peace Love And Bull.
I; wonder, if he treats everyone like this? How is it, no one has seen through his act before?
He has no problem with deliberately killing me with his scented candle fumes and deliberate dirty laundry odors (my punishment for not being cooperative about being scared awake all night or subjected to his constant, chemical and other odors). Since I first moved in. Immediately. I asked him politely several times not to do this but he pretended he didn’t know what I meant and continues up to this very minute.
Thus; yet, another diary.
I still; hesitate, to contact Management. Does no good. They cannot police me 24/7. I’m a sitting duck. Takes two years in court to get rid of anyone except for non payment of rent, etc.
But; that doesn't mean I’m going to take his abuse!
I’m gonna teach this guy, the power of the 1st Amendment!
Thanks to my friends here at DKos. I have an Army of people; who all agree, we’re not taking any more abuse. From anyone.
Kossack’s Have Taught Me Well!
Kossacks Rule!
I Love Kossacks!
NOTE TO MY NEIGHBORS
It’s a nice apartment (except for some of the neighbors). Costs, practically nothing. I am the poorest of the poor, so I, only pay, $108 a month.
It sounded like Management over in neighbor’s apt twice yelling at him past couple of days.
To no avail. His response; to do dirty laundry all night, making sure, the bags weren’t closed and all the dirty clothing smells permeated my apt.
6/8 All night since aprox, 11pm through 3am, when i went to bed, someone next door went in and out at least 5 times, accompanying odor of dirty laundry. Smells like, the dirty laundry going out and the detergent, warm smelling laundry coming back in. As well as, I, hear them.
This guy thinks, he’s going to gaslight me. He’s doing this on purpose.
He could easily have given these “guests” keys.
But no, just like the last neighbor, he thinks it’s appropriate or ok to wake me up. With loud noises, like a 5 chime doorbell ring. Or a loud cellphone ring through the bedroom wall. Or loud knocking and door closing.
And everyone, knows how to bag laundry and garbage so the odors don’t go in others spaces.
He did it to himself. I begged him very politely several times to stop his behavior. But for some reason, these people here, do not understand common decency?
He’s pretending now, that he’s not doing it. It definitely smells like he’s still burning scented candles and incense, non stop. Early in the morning, starts again after 5pm when he’s sure Management is gone continues all night long. 1am, 3am, 5am.
His garbage smelled like he had the ashes of 10 incense sticks in it. That’s dangerous. I know, I used to use incense until the buildings went smoke free. Never liked the candles.
Thanks to the Kossacks; who told me to keep a record, that was perfect advice. Forget remembering all this. Barely have the strength to record ½ of it. This has gone on for so long now.
6/2 odor of apparently a scented candle; all night, starting, 6pm. I Know; I smell it.
I smell something in the air and I get chemically overcome and my arms start to feel weak.
Also; he’s started using when appears to be a soy candle. I know, I still smell it. The soy makes me very tired so I know.
My other neighbor used the soy candles too. So I know what he’s doing. I know he’s got to be using candles.
The odor of the paraffin type, has been killing me since I moved in.
Soy makes me feel, weak and exhausted. Under-active thyroid runs in my Mother’s side of the family and soy has a negative affect on people with thyroid problems.
6/3
1am next door, scared me awake someone rang his doorbell. Managed to sleep until 3am.
3:27am the other one who goes in every night, just went in. Could hear them in the hall. Now starting to smell like a scented candle again. I can’t breath and my heart is starting to race again.
3:52am just heard someone in the hall, again. Now, odor of dirty clothes for sure, dirty socks.
Now being sneakier. Waits till 5pm when Management is gone. Then all night long, every night. I smelled a scented candle until six am this morning.
He thinks he’s smarter than the last neighbor. Smells like those “smokers candles,” just reek like chemicals, harder to identify than the fruity, flowery types.
6/5 Been extremely sick past four days. Needless to say this guy is still waking me up all night long. No matter what time I go to sleep, someone comes in, and rings his doorbell, to be admitted.
ie I fell asleep aprox 11pm last night, so nauseous and dizzy I couldn’t stay up. Between 12 Midnight and 1am someone rang his doorbell 3 times! Finally scared me awake totally. I finally got back to sleep at 5am.
6:10am he woke me slamming a door, that also makes this, loud clicking sound. The bathroom I presume. I hear it all the time when the others ring his doorbell. Apparently they go in there first, as soon as they come in.
I heard the one who goes in at 4:30am every morning. Odor of dirty sneakers comes through the door constantly.
He’s almost killed me with; what smells like, scented candles and incense.
I felt like I was having a stroke one night, for sure.
Many times, but this time, real bad.
My whole head goes numb. From the back by the brain stem and wraps around to my nose. My arms get weak and numb.
This sks. Some people sk, big time.
I do see; how they, drive each other to violence.
I myself; am a pacifist, whenever possible.
Only because; I know there’s a Higher and lower, (so to speak), power, that pays guys like this, back.
Now, he’s pretending not to use the candles, again. Trimmed the wick perhaps, so it’s not so smokey and smelly? But my nose starts running and eyes burn and can’t breath. In fact I think I smell it right now. A real smart ass.
6/6
I went to bed 12am, 1am someone rang doorbell next door woke me up.
Now 2:35am just heard someone in the hall go in next door and am sure I smell a scented, candle. I think they learned how to trim the wick(s) and it’s not as smelly. But I’m sure I’m still smelling it. Besides these candles always make my nose run. My nose has been running a little all day. Just started again.
Still the horrible odors of what smells like a scented candle and incense. Smelled like the ashes of like 10 incense sticks in his garbage. Horrible! Odor of a powdery perfume comes through the door frame and floods my apt. I’m covered in it. My hair, my clothing, my bedding.
Also the scented candle all night last night again. Still smelled it at 3am when I finally got to sleep. (For 2 hours),
6/7
5:10am someone rang this guys doorbell three or four times, real loud.
6:25am smelling a hint of what smells like the chocolate smelling incense.
6/8
5am someone rang this guys doorbell 3 or 4 times.
Odor of an apparent candle from 6am until 9:30am.
9:21pm odor of what has to be dirty laundry (dirty socks), nice people, just permeated my living room. I heard someone yelling over there this afternoon. Managers yell like that. What can I say. I didn’t report them. But if someone did, no surprise, considering the amount of noise, health and fire hazard and disturbance they cause.
6/9
1:48am, continuing odors of dirty laundry. A bout 5th load by. Odor of warm laundry and laundry detergent now.
2:09am still odor of apparently a scented candle.
Aprox 3am exhausted and sick from these foul odors I went to bed. Fell asleep immediately.
4am sound of a cellphone ringtone came through bedroom wall. Managed to sleep through that. Then, aprox 10 min later 4:15am Loud repeated knocking on his front door.
6am horrible chemical odor permeating my living room. Smells like odor of scented candle sitting on the stove. Knew I smelled that chocolate incense first. Other neighbor used to do that. Smells like, greasy chemicals.
Smell of dirty clothing just now too. Dirty socks to be exact. Their favorite torture. Real smart people, I’m sure, not.
8:38am, now smells like laundry out of dryer. That dirty clothes odor is impossible to miss. Ask any apt dweller with rude neighbors.
Someone rang his doorbell all day (8 times, yesterday).
Aprox 7:30pm, someone went in next door and now starting to smell the odor of what, has to be, a scented candle.
10:20pm someone went in and out at least three times in the past hour and ½ aprox. Odors of dirty clothing twice again. It’s a good racket. Washing machines in laundry room $1 a machine load, compared to $2.50 per machine, in regular laundromat.
6/10
5:38am sound of someone in hall, smells like damp laundry from dryer.
Just smelled like the chocolate scented incense smell and now, like a scented candle odor. My nose stated running about 20 minutes ago. The scented candles make my nose run, every time. Never otherwise.
Each time they open his apt door, the chemicals from whatever type of air freshener product he’s using today/tonight, floods the hall and subsequently permeates my living room 1 foot away!
Went to bed. Asleep; maybe, an hour. Aprox 6:30am a loud cell phone ring through the wall scared me awake. Since then odor of what definitely smells like a scented candle has gotten stronger and stronger. 9:31am just heard someone go out, in? And some berry odor also.
I know; because I get overcome from the chemicals. I get weak, dizzy, nauseous, disoriented and chemically depressed. Can’t fool me. I’m allergic. I get a reaction, even before I smell the odors.
*So; here I am, still in the same situation.
Now I’m totally wondering, should I complain to Management. It does no good.
I just get abused by these neighbors even worse.
Owner; went to all the trouble to move me and I’ve got another neighbor, just like the last one.
Only this guy next door, thinks he’s smart. The pushy type. This neighbor; knocks on my door and starts yelling and trying to claim, I’m making noise.
As if. I’m so quiet. I don’t like loud noises myself. But I hate chemicals even worse. And this waking me up all night is bull!
It’s so bad, the stench, of these toxic, candles and incense. Who ever heard of chocolate scented incense. Man does that stink!
My entire living room gets inundated with the foul chemical, stench. It gets all over me. My hair clothing and then on my bedding.
One night, it was so bad I opened the back door, to air the place out, after he woke me at 1am, or 3:30/4:30am (varies), the two main times these people ring his doorbell. (Every night since the second night I’ve been here). Three months now. Every night. I’ve asked him repeatedly not to do this, or use the candles. To no avail.
A night or two later, early, about 7pm he knocks on my door and starts screaming, how I’m keeping him up all night, he can hear my computer, blah, blah, blah.
All the while acting more agitated and getting louder.
I tried to close my apt door on his tirade and he stuck his foot in my door, stopping me.
He, started stepping over my threshold.
I told him; “get your foot, out of, my door.”
He just got louder and pushed against the door.
I told him again; in my best, exorcist, little girl voice/growl, “GET YOUR FOOT, OUT OF, MY DOOR!”
This time he looked startled and ran back into his apt.
Declaring as he went; that he’s going to call Management, on me. I told him go ahead. I haven’t complained yet, because I’ve been trying to live in peace here, but, I’ll give them, an ear full.
I’m not going to let these stupid mthrfkrs; give me a stroke, or heart attack. They’ve come very close so far.
The other woman/neighbor almost killed (poisoned) me.This guy figures he’ll finish the job.
He knows all this stuff (candles, incense, loud noises late at night), are, a lease violation. He; thinks he knows enough people, to let him abuse me.
