What ARE Some People Thinking?

Sometimes I wonder what people are thinking when they do things. They get mad at a neighbor and decide to pick on every little thing they do, then they are surprised when they are reported for breaking the rules. what everyone seems to forget is that they have to live next to these people. Didn't they think about that before they started acting like children?


On the other hand, some people do things that make me shake my head in amazement.

I have a homeowner who in her first conversation with me explained that several years ago, when she lived accross the street, she went to a party and met another homeowner. They were both drunk and had a one night stand. OK, people do stupid things, but telling me over the phone on our first conversation seems a bit odd.

So anyway, the first chance she gets, she sells the unit she is in and moves directly below the man with whom she had the fling. Now she wonders why he wants nothing to do with her?

She tries to be nice and according to other homeowners it comes accross as stalking type behavior, which it probably is. So now, she has a problem with a leak from this guy's unit into hers and she's upset because he won't talk to her. Really? Did she think he was going to be her best friend? We had to intervene and get things moving. The homeowner upstairs was more than happy to do whatever it took to get her to shut up and leave him alone. She, on the other hand, was prolonging everything. She wanted attention right away, but when we scheduled someone to come out to look at it, she cancelled. The guys didn't get the message, so they knocked on her door, she was there, but refused to let them in. Then she calls me upset because she wants something done NOW! And she really wonders why this guy ignores her?

So, lesson here-next time you think your life is messed up, think about this situation. It can ALWAYS be worse.
