i hate being yelled at

[rabidsamfan]

even when I deserve it.

My upstairs neighbor is angry because he's ended up doing most of the maintenance in the building. It's condos, and he's not paid for it, but no one has defined whose job is what.

There are a bunch of boxes in the basement to go out which are mine, and I haven't done it, because I've pretty much felt like hell for the month they've been there. I heard him in the hall and poked my nose out to say that I was confident I'd be able to do it on Monday and he yelled. He doesn't want to talk to me any more.

*sigh*

I wrote him a note, apologizing, but I don't think he'll read it. It's frustrating though. I see his point entirely, but I've just not been in a place where I've cared about the hallway or the basement enough to do anything about them.

Well, gee whiz, RSF, you shoulda moved those boxes despite the fact you've had a major medical crisis! (glowers at fussbudget tenant) You don't owe him an apology, he owes YOU one for being such an insensitive jerk. But that's just MHO because I don't like to see any friend picked on. ((hugs))

Thanks. My landlady called me last night and she agrees with me that the condo owners need to define who is responsible for what -- possibly pay ThirdFloorMan for the work or hire a service for cleaning the general areas so that it gets done on a regular basis out of the condo fees. She definitely thinks that cleaning the hall is Not my responsibility because I'm only a tenant, and not an owner, and I find that reassuring. She also understands about the boxes. She'll give him a couple of days to cool off and then call to talk to him.
