Let's get ruley, shall we....
Hello my lovelies,
It's official! I have become a curmudgeonly old woman! WOW! With my attitude and my smart mouth, this is going to be a dream.
Living in the land of the uber stylish 20-somethings has me frequently summoning the Sesame Street song "One Of These Things Is Not Like The Others." Seriously, there are things that these kids do that I just do not understand. Here are a few of the "crimes" I've witnessed this week.
- Garbage left in the hallway. This is an apartment building, there is a garbage chute near the parking garage. When you need to take out the garbage, you put on your shoes (and pants if you weren't already wearing them) and you walk your happy ass to the parking garage, open the door and drop the bag down the chute. It's not exactly convenient, but it's also not rocket science. For some reason the dipshits down the hall from me think they can just leave a bag of stinking garbage, oozing some sort of goo from asian food containers, in the hallway. WTF! It took all of my energy to not beat down the door, grab the poor unsuspecting shitbag by the nape of the neck and drag him and his bag of garbage down the hallway.
- Dog poop! With the rain, I realize it's not actually very pleasant to walk your dog outside, but too bad. If you have a dog and you live in an apartment you really don't have any other option. I stand corrected, apparently, these assclowns think they do have another option. In the last two drizzly days I've seen poop in the hall, poop and pee on the stairs heading out of the building and poop on the floor leading to the aforementioned, garbage chute. WTF! I realize that sometime doggie duty calls a little more expeditiously than you were expecting. If and when such a situation arises, it is imperative that you immediately clean it up. Earlier this week I was noticing how the area around the building wreaks of urine, if these little jackasses don't start cleaning up after their pets this whole building is going to be a giant smelly nightmare.
- Parking. First, I am delighted to report that I have not driven my car since March 21. I've been out and about a lot, but all of my ventures have been executed on foot or via light rail. That said, this morning I went to my car to see if an item that I thought I'd moved down here was, by chance, still in my car. It wasn't, but when I walk into the garage I notice that there are several spaces where no one can park because the car in the adjacent space is parked so badly. This is a pet peeve of mine anywhere, but especially in a shared garage. I realize that there are some vehicles that are not necessarily easy to park in these small spaces. In my opinion if you drive one of these vehicles you either have to park away from everyone else (in this case that would be the top of the garage) or you have to learn how to park your damn car. The offenders in my parking garage were not big trucks and SUV's that are inherently difficult to park, they were small cars. One of them is a Prius! Seriously, if your shit can't get a Prius between the white lines, I'm certain that you are far too stupid to be driving a car.
Please know that I still very much love my little apartment and my new city life. I just like my apartment more from the inside than I do when surrounded by the ill-behaving children that live around me. I haven't begun yelling at these overly entitled list dickwads when they violate one of my rules, but I can't say that I will be able to refrain forever. It will be adventure for all of us when I do! ...more to come!
Until next time...
XOXO

PS - I added a few more items to my to do list and I knocked one of them off already. On Thursday I walked to the opposite end of 16th Street and my friend Katie downtown for lunch, after lunch she badged me up to the 40th floor in the Republic Plaza building, to show me the most amazing view of the city. It was AWESOME!
PPS - Katie is fun and adorable, but she also makes the most amazing Minestrone soup I've ever had in my life. Seriously, it was mind-blowingly good! You should all get to know Katie, if for no other reason than to bribe her into making you soup. Love you Katie, XOXO!
