Although we have a lovely lake view from our apartment, amazing AC and the best ceiling fans money can buy, our lease is up, and we need another bedroom, so we are looking for a new place to live.
Here are a list of things I will miss most:
-The woman who sits on her patio all day and all night listening to a police scanner.
-The man who ALWAYS smokes a pipe (even when it is +115' outside) who does nothing but sit in and walks around his Ford Ranger.
-Our neighbor who walks through our gravel area with a laundry basket going who knows where, for who knows what reason. (The gravel is not a walkway, it is covered in bushes and brush. I have no idea why he does it but listening to him kick rocks every 20 minutes by our living room window irritates me to no end.)
-The middle eastern man who's front door is near our parking spot who when asked "how's it going" he replies "working hard like a sniper". (Are we supposed to report things like this?!)
-The Ford Focus that parks next to us and draws swastikas on the hood of their car with wipe away chalk.
-Quackers and his new little ducklings, who despite the pass of mating season still wake me periodically.
-The tree that is manicured to go right through the walkway so you can't actually use the sidewalk.
-The 30 drunk people who congregate around the pool every single weekend, Friday through Sunday monopolizing the BBQ and the rest of the pool area.
-The couple who has 3 cars but only drive 1 and leave the other 2 in the only available close parking spaces, making them unavailable to anyone else who may need them; literally for MONTHS at a time.
-Our other neighbor who smokes right outside our front door when our windows are open(a smell pregnant woman can't get enough of).
Good-bye friends you will be missed...

Ha! Isn't renting the best? You meet the greatest people ;)
Oh wow Head! You can't make that stuff up! Renting is rough...
So sad you have to leave all those wonderful and considerate people. Hope your next place has neighbors just as good!
ha ha ha. We just recently moved for the same reason! And I don't mean our baby boys we both have on the way, we too had some SHADY characters and I'm pretty sure fiestas went on every night in our neighboring complex. The joys.....definitely feel your pain :)
I love the "sniper" guy, is that the family that has those two cats and they leave their living room window open without the screen so they can wander in and out? Funny how much you know about neighbors that live that close! Love this post Heddy!!
