Hi there,

I have been living in my apartment with my husband for a little over a year now. When we first moved in it was brand-new, considered a "luxury" apartment. For the most part we have enjoyed living here. But in the last month or so, some less then desirable people have been moving in.

Last week a woman and her boyfriend were having a screaming match in front of our building at 3am. The fight was about a cell phone. She moved in a month ago. Woke me up and I have to be at work at 6am. She was reported by several tenants.

Then last night a teen that lives here with her mother got dropped off at midnight. I believe her parents are separated and her dad was dropping her off. He got out of the car and started talking yelling "don't forget to put the food in the fridge, baby doll! I love you. Yell out the window when you get inside!" He then proceeds to stand in the parking lot and wait for her to come to the window. When she didn't come fast enough he starts beeping his horn! He then gets out of the car and I open my window and said "people are sleeping, have some consideration", he said nothing back and left. When he picked her up around 6pm he pulled up and beeps the horn 4 times ( long and drawn out) to get her to come outside. Have these ignorant fools ever heard of a cellphone? This is an apartment community, not a private home.

Am I right in being annoyed by this jackass using his horn so freely?

It is rude...and it happens. Is this going on every day? If not...if you are sick of renting...go buy a detached house.. ..you will just find differ things to complain about.

I understand. I just never lived in any place where it's considered appropriate to use the horn at midnight

It's not appropriate in any residential setting no matter the time as far as I'm concerned.

Thank you. I just can't believe how inconsiderate these people are.

Maybe they think you are just as inconsiderate yelling at them out of your window......at midnight.

Funny you have nothing to say about the beeping. Smh.

That's just the kind of thing you have to put up with in apartments. The only thing "luxury apartment" means is that you will be paying more to put up with the same kind of annoyances.

Buying a house isn't necessarily better, because you will still have annoying neighbors, but you may be stuck with them for many years, instead of a year or two like most apartment dwellers.

I guess we were a little naïve to think that an upscale apartment that would attract classier people.

There is definitely a difference in the look, amenities in these apartments, compared to others.. I guess that's it.
