Ask Lemmy

I have two from the many I’ve had and I’ll let you decide which was worse.

1: lived on 3rd floor. Found out that the neighbor across the hall was found dead from suicide a few weeks before we moved in. Neighbor below in 2nd floor regularly had all night parties. Got so fucked upon drugs they took a hammer to the walls and plumbing which flooded the entire 2nd and first floors.

A few weeks later they ordered pizza, murdered the driver with a hammer and pillow and stole the $50 they had plus their $1000 car. I think she got life in prison and the guy with her got some other deal.

2: many years later moved into a cheap apartment close to work when the previous place jacked rent up almost 100% with only a months notice. No a/c. The windows had no screens but we a really odd shape. The walls had drywall but it had been removed to expose the brick, but that left a gap at the ceiling. That’s how rats and mice would fall in. Also roaches. The fridge was brand new but full size, which blocked half of the entrance to the kitchen. The neighbor across from me would catch their mice on sticky traps and out set them out in front of their door, right next to their garbage sacks that they would leave for days. This was somewhat understandable because the garbage bin for the building was too small and always overflowing.
