Obnoxious Neighbors
Oh no, the Things I Hate About My Flatmate blogger has moved out of the apartment!

And speaking of lousy neighbors, there was another party in the HellHouse last Friday. Three sets of neighbors called the po-po, and I guess this time the cops actually issued them a ticket for breaking the noise ordinance. Judy (she lives across the street) said that before the police came, there were a bunch of guys standing on the balcony of HellHouse (HH from here on out) and throwing beer bottles down onto the driveway. WTF??! How stoopid is that? Then, a friend of theirs drove into the driveway and went upstairs, and they started throwing bottles onto his car. OMG, these people are missing brain cells.

The most amazing thing about the whole thing is that even though the police came at 1:30 and people cleared out, I still woke up with a start at 4:30 a.m. to a group of noisy guys shouting on the Pissing Deck right outside our window. Kyle eventually got fed up and went outside to tell them to shut it.

So our letter-writing campaign to the absentee landlords appears to be somewhat successful. The owners' property manager called us and basically said she would notify the tenants about their behavior and if things don't change, she'll evict them. We didn't expect that much, so hopefully they'll just put an end to the parties so they don't end up having to be kicked out. Either way is fine by me, though! The problem with these girls (I think there are four of them) is that they have absolutely no control over their guests. I mean, they were issued a ticket, which costs them money, and they still couldn't keep their "friends" under control. That's the scariest part is that their guests don't give a crap, so we've always been afraid of their "I don't give a shit" attitude and what they might do to our property. Here's the view of our roof right after a party, and you can't even see the 50 cigarette butts that we find up there:

Here you can see a box from a case of cheap beer

Here you can see a can from said cheap beer, and you can also see how close the Pissing Deck is to our house

Our neighbors on the other side of HH have also written a letter. The interesting thing is that on Friday night, there was another party going on in one of the houses behind our house (yes, this is the hell of living in a university district) so Kyle went over there. They totally put it in check, and seemed really willing to work with us, so I don't think it's just that the HH neighbors are young, I think it's just because they don't have control. We'll see how this progresses.
