I've had issues with the neighbors above us. Their little kids would run around and stomp around making lots of noise during the day. We politely request that they keep the kids quiet and they make a big deal how they aren't obligated to since they don't have to be quiet till 10 and that they couldn't even if they wanted to and I don't raise kids so I don't know how hard it is to keep them in line and all this other s**t. Then several times ar 2 in the morning they would start yelling at each other about their relationship issues. They also smoked then just threw the butts off their balcony onto our porch. They were completely obnoxious. Fortunately a few days ago they finally moved out. During the day we have relative peace and quiet.

Our neighbors next door are kinda annoying me. It's a single mom with 2 kids that are 11 and 5. I can sympathize for the mom. It's got to be a pain in the a** raising 2 kids that age without a 2nd parent. My sister has pretty much become a 2nd mom. Every time there is a slight problem they come over here to bother us. They will even bother us for no reason at all. They will come over just to give CJ an extra pen they found or something.

What's really annoying me now is the garbage system. This apartment complex and the one next to it are owned by the same guy and all managed by the same people. The two sets of apartment complexes share 3 dumpsters for garbage. None of them are close to us so we just stack it up in a cart outside then haul it in 1 load. It takes about 5 to 7 days to fill 1 big garbage bag and we can normally fit 2 garbage bags and some boxes to a load. The neighbors asked if they could put their garbage with our load. I assumed they meant just that one time, but they just put all their garbage by our door. Today I had to take out our garbage, but the cart was completely full of their garbage and surrounded by more garbage. After I hauled out the first load of their garbage the surrounding garbage made another half load then our garbage fit in a garbage bag for the other half of the load. Only 25% of the garbage I hauled out was actually ours. Those kids waste way too much food.

Really s**t could be worse. I'm just kinda frustrated and blowing off steam.
