Isn't It Ironic!

I was recently stopped outside while walking my dogs by the mail lady. She was considering renting an apartment here and had a few questions for a current resident. She told me the things that annoy her the most in a complex and wondered if things like that occur here. At first I kind of drew a blank as to what annoys me about my complex but I soon thought of a few things. However the things that annoy me the most are dog related issues. Since she isn't a dog owner none of my complaints mattered to her. My number one thing that bugs me about living here is the amount of people that don't leash their dogs when taking them outside.

For the mail lady her number one complaint about apartment living is neighbors that play loud music in their bedrooms. I was somewhat puzzled when she mentioned this. Because I instantly thought to myself. Don't people typically play loud music in their living room area as opposed to rockin' out in the bedroom? She also happened to mention to me that the complex gave her a list of vacant units she could choose from if she decided to move in here. Before I moved in they gave me a similar type of list as well. So I was familiar with this practice of the complex. She however thought it raised a red flag as to why so many vacant units. It is a little strange that they give long lists of vacant units to consider choosing to move into but it's a very large complex. The amount of vacant units is likely rather average considering the large property.

Back to my point of this post. The irony! At the time I had this conversation with the mail lady the unit under mine was vacant. New neighbors moved in about 2 weeks ago. They have a wiener dog named Sapphire. Yeah, Sapphire is it's name, poor thing wasn't blessed with a great name like Cody or Simon. Wink-wink! LOL! How do I know the dog's name already? Because they never leash her!!! I frequently hear them calling for Sapphire when they take it outside and she decides to ignore them as she continues being a dog that doesn't want to go back inside quite yet. And the real kicker is they love to play loud music in their bedrooms. Yep, that's right...in their bedrooms!

So after having a conversation with the mail lady about our top things that bug us about apartment living I get new neighbors that don't leash their dog(my top complaint) and play loud music in their bedroom(the mail lady's top complaint). Oh the irony!
