Anyone Else HATE Their Condo Association? - Rant





Serious question for any of you who happen to be on a condo board or god forbid are the condo president for their building, just how much were you picked on as a child? No seriously, when you signed up to be the hall monitor in grade school did you think it would help you make friends?  GET A LIFE.

I live in a very quiet, very respectful condo building. Everyone keeps to themselves, you rarely hear a peep from your neighbors unless you pass each other walking in and out, and I can't remember ever hearing a loud party or music late night.  About the only noise you do hear on occasion is someones door closing, or one of the hallways doors coming to a close.  This noise is nothing ridiculous, its just an echo because our hallways are hardwood.  Could it be a minor nuisance? I guess so, but its nothing that you can hear over the television or anything.   Still, I walked out of my unit yesterday to find this on the door way to the lobby.  Now I'm pretty sure its not aimed at my unit, but we've had run ins here with the association previously over some ludicrous complaints so it annoyed me all the same.  Basically their complaints always come down to visitors.  Two things here; 

1) You live in a frigen condo building! This was your choice, if you didn't want to be aware of your neighbors comings and goings or share hallways withe everyone you should have bought a house, so suck it up and go pet your cat. 
2) Just because you don't have friends who are willing to visit you (or friends at all I'm guessing) doesn't mean the rest of us want to live solitary, hermit like lifestyles, talking to our pets, scheming ways to get back at anyone who ever slighted us in life, and sending mass e-mails to the tenants outlining rules for our every day life. Fuck off. 

Signed,
Everyone in the building that had friends growing up.
