splinky Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 who is crazier? the people who strew the hallways with cheerios they don't pick up, or the people who photograph said cheerios and upload said photographs to the internet? I was thinking that the Cheerio coverage is at a low enough density that the fury seems a bit curious. it's every fucking day with the food all over the hallway. i pay waaay too much money to have to live in their garbage, so does everyone else living here. all of the neighbors are documenting the messes the filthy pigs leave behind. i have not seen the photos. are these original Cheerios or one of the new multi colored styles? probably some local organic artisanal version of cheerios made in a hipster basement in brooklyn or long island city.

prasantrin Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Gather up all the food and after a week, dump it all right outside their door. Fun times for everyone! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mongo_jones Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 the cheerios really bring out the highlights. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
memesuze Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Gather up all the food and after a week, dump it all right outside their door. Fun times for everyone! Don't bag it up - just strew it where they have no choice but to walk on it - a huge sign on the floor a few feet farther down the hallway wouldn't hurt. I'm sure you know a choice phrase or two.

splinky Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 The problem is that their door is right next to my door and I'd prefer not to have a vermin problem, so them grinding their stupid kid's food deeper into the carpet is not what I want. They just walk right through the mess for however many hours it takes for one of the neighbors or one of the porters to clean it up.perhaps, a sign on their door announcing that they are in the business of breeding roaches and mice would make an impact.

Stone Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 I assume you've done the polite note and not-so-polite note? How about the knock-on-the-door-and-smile-face? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
squibble Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 It makes me wonder what the floor looks like inside their apartment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Eatmywords Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 They know, they’re just disrespectful ignorant lazy a-holes. Until recently our toddler tossed and dropped food everywhere the way they do. If you care about others and their surroundings you’re diligent in cleaning after them. Obviously they aren’t and should be brought in front of the board (co-op?). You definitely don’t want to attract mice. This one has chewed holes through the walls and eaten all my cheese: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Daisy Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 What a cute mousie! As someone who has spent much of her life living in apartment buildings, and grew up in one: go to management/co-op board. You've tried the polite note and it's been ignored so fuck these people. If embarassing them hasn't worked officially sanctioned harassment may very well do the trick. Complain to management, gently and very persistently, until management gets them to stop. Call the office for every incident, remain calm but be firm. They'll get so sick of you they'll somehow find an effective way to deal with these people. I once had neighbors who seemed to think that the public hallway, right next to the elevator, was the ideal place for their kids to dump their boots and parkas. After several polite requests that they manage to find a way to store this crap inside their apartment went unheeded my husband came home one night, almost fell over a kid's boot, and picked it up and chucked it down the incinerator chute. Worked like a charm. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sneakeater Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Yup, toss those Cheerios down the incinerator. That'll show 'em. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

foodie52 Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Why don't you keep a dust buster right outside your door and use it late at night? Or maybe they'll get the hint and use it themselves? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
