Any questions?

Who are these people?

I've been seeing them all over downtown.

Okay, now this is getting ridiculous

This notice was taped to the door of every apartment in our building.

My favorite rules:

1. "IF ENTERTAINING IN YOUR HOME, DO NOT ALLOW YOUR GUESTS TO ROAM HALLWAYS OR ANY OF THE COMMON AREAS.


2. DO NOT ALLOW YOUR PETS TO DEFECATE INSIDE/IN FRONT OF THE BUILDING. ALWAYS CARRY WASTE BAGS! CURB YOUR PETS!"
   


3. "DO NOT THROW ANY ITEMS OUTSIDE OF YOUR WINDOWS, ESPECIALLY CIGARETTE BUTTS. IT IS DISRESPECTFUL FOR THE BUILDING AND FELLOW NEIGHBORS WITH BALCONIES!!


4. "DO NOT THROW ANY ITEMS OVER ROOF OF BUILDING."
   

I feel sorry for the building managers. They're actually very cool, very nice people and any time we have a service request it gets taken care of right away. But their job sucks right now.

I suspect the owner was lax about screening tenants because the real estate slump is making it hard to fill apartments. But damn. Do you really need to be told not to let your dog shit in the building? To quote my mother, "Was you raised in a barn?"

More signs of the times

Sign of the times

Saw this sign posted in the elevator this morning. Looks like a lot of people aren't paying their rent on time. Is it because of gas prices? They're broke because they just moved? General irresponsible dumbassery? Dunno.
