Jun. 7th, 2006 10:53 pmMy Apartment complex annoyed me today. Early when I first moved in there was a discrepancy in the rent they told me to pay and the rent they actually wanted me to pay, and they put a note on my door telling me to pay up immediately (it was something less than $10 if I remember right) or else bad things were going to happen to me.
Anyway this seems like their favorite way of communicating with residents, and since then I've always looked as I came around the corner and down the stairs to see if anything was stuck to the door. Nothing ever was, until last night.
I got a message saying that half of the parking lot was going to be pressure washed Wednesday and Thursday. Okay, no problem, I'm sure they have to do these things. But the way they put it, we were ordered to remove all cars from the parking lot (they had a a map showing roughly half of the complex parking area that the order applied to) by 7 am, or our cars would be towed at our expense.
Gee, these people communicate in such a friendly manner. And they gave me a whole 10 hours notice too!
So I went out and moved my car to the other half of the complex. After all, I'm very much asleep at 7 am, no way in hell (which![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
genebreshears does not believe in, but if he did, Mr. Tim Eyman would wind up there) was I planning to wake up at the ungodly hour of 7 am to move my car. Not to mention, my chances of getting a good parking place were better if I moved right away.
And we're not going to even consider the fact that walking a block or two to my car is probably very good for me. I'm still annoyed.
But the most annoying thing is that, when I left for work just after noon, there were still cars parked in the wrong section of the complex. There was no sign of anyone doing any pressure washing, and no evidence that anyone had been towed. Which means that I probably could have ignored the threat and parked normally and been just fine.
Except that, if I'd ignored the threat, it would have worked out differently. You know it would have!
( I haven't babbled about weird music in a while have I? )
