10 Things I Hate, Or Strongly Dislike, About My Condo

[cg_allstar]

1. Smelling what everyone else is cooking for dinner when I walk up the stairs. I'm hungry, and it all smells better than what I'll be having.

2. The automatic ice maker leaves little bits of black plastic in the ice. Not all the time. Just sometimes.

"Lightly" insulated water pipes. Takes forever to get hot water in the sink or shower during the winter.

 

[cg_allstar]

My laundry machine. My downstairs neighbor would probably put my laundry machine at the top of her list.

5. My balcony faces completely in the wrong direction to set up a satelite dish.

 

[Shingen]

Would selling and moving to another condo remedy the situation? Is that even an option?

6. The electrical outlets and the phone jacks are in very inconvenient places.

Hmm. That may be a weak one. Outlets and jacks are always in the wrong place.

Can I play?

1. I can hear every single little splash from the shower next door and the pipes are noisy as hell.

7. The balcony is only 3 feet x 6 feet. Yet they built it with a sliding glass door and a door at one end into the living room. Totally messes up one corner of the living room.

Sure. But you can't quit the game until you get to 10.

2. For some reason there is an unmovable circle of cold air surrounding my bed but my roommate won't let me turn the thermostat up because there is an unmovable circle of hot air surround HER bed.

 

[Pyper]

Sure. But you can't quit the game until you get to 10.

I don't think that will be that hard. I'm in a really bad mood.

8. Hearing people "next door" having sex when I'm alone.

On the other hand, hearing people next door having sex when I'm not alone has been good.

 

[Pyper]

3. There are always fruit flies. Why are there always fruit flies? Especially upstairs where we have no fucking fruit.

9. Tan carpet so light that it's almost white. Never looks clean.

 

[Pyper]

4. Speaking of carpet, mine is green. And the place is pre-furnished with purple furniture. What the hell is up with that?

 

[Pyper]

5. And speaking of furtniture, there is no couch in the world more uncomfortable than our couch. My Korean roommate called it the "prison couch".

That made me laugh.

 

[Pyper]

That made me laugh.

It became a running joke of ours. (There are couches in prison?)

6. The shower head is not detachable. Where's the fun in that?

 

[cg_allstar]

10. Oh yeah, the front door. The place practically narrows to a point at the door. Guaranteed to make you brush up against the walls if you're carrying anything at all. Nice scuff marks.

Woo hoo, I'm done!

You poor thing. However, installing a detachable shower head is not too hard a job.

I'm only going to be here for a few more months, so it's not really worth the effort.

7. Drunk Italians and people who kick out the slats of the outside walkway railing. These two groups are probably the same.

without a mention of the parking??
I don't think so...

Ah, yes. We have assigned parking. One space per unit regardless of bedroom number. So, the extra cars get parked in the visitors' spaces. There's never any room for my friends when they come over. There, that's 11.

1. It's a trailer in a trailer park filled with old people, and early tenty-somethings who party all the time
