Lots of crazies apparently lived there. One woman resident stabbed another with a screw driver because she slashed her car tires. In another case some guy was shot in a stairwell.

Recently about a year after I had been moved out my former apartment complex made the news because a car had rammed into one of the apartment buildings and hit a gas line wich resulted in an inferno burning down one of their buildings. . Forutunately no one was killed.

Damn and I thought that Detroit was the place not to be!

:yuck: Not really,man. It was too early/late and I was too stressed and tired to deal with it.When I called emergency maintenance they finally showed at around 3AM to fix and stop the water flow from upstairs (that little fucker up there had a slightly damp closet....and thats it), and after they did that they wanted to get the 24 hour carpet cleaner guys to come in and go to town on my place.I basically told him thanks,but fuck off with that carpet cleaner shit for now....I'm tired,and have a test in the morning....to which he argued with me telling me that the apartment wouldnt be pleased if they couldnt clean everything up immediately :doubt: - I said something like "fuck them" and slammed the door in his face.......but,, yeah...no fun....I did chuckle a bit when my CD's I had on the floor floated by me when I walked in, but thats about it.

Thats terrible.At least you kept it from spreading to other parts of the house.

That sucks. I always worry about that in my place too, as new maintenance guys, bug spray contractors, and even "realtors" who show interested people the apartments all seem to have free roam in my apartment.One of the "realtor" guys even walked in on me with a family in tow as I was sleeping in bed with my gf (we were under the covers but still - wtf?).
So if my place was ransacked I wouldnt know where to start.

I know, but you made it seem like when you opened the door you were bombarded with a wall of refreshing delightful water. I was just saying that it sounded refreshing and fun. I was wrong.
