To the people across the hall in my apartment building: the deck outside is communal. We spent some time making it look like more than a fire escape only to have you assholes wreck it by leaving your empties and cigarette butts, breaking/stealing candles and tipping over a flower pot.
Way to go – you’ve proven yourselves to be obnoxious douchebags. —Angry deck-goer

Collect the cigarette buds, and when you full a bag full, knock on their door, dump them all in their apartment. Tell them the buds failed to biodegrade.
Did I say full a bag full? I meant have a bag full.
This is why we can’t have nice things.
Seriously, I know what you mean. There’s something weird about the fact that so many dwelling-sharers can’t actually share.
put a partition in, problem solved.
nth, kinda fucking up, are we?
Every time you use the F word, LS, I get this strange feeling that I am reading something very dirty.
I am getting this strange bug where the posts are not refreshing.
You say your deck is communal OP?
In that case I’m sure you asked your neighbours’ permission before littering it with candles, flower pots, and I’m assuming deck chairs in the first place right?
So basically you’re entitled to leave your crap out there, but no one else is. Is that what you’re saying?
Nevermind are you just trolling? They are leaving garbage ie cigarette butts and empty bottles! Flowers and candles are not garbage. I can only imagine what your house looks like if you like to keep garbage around and call it decorations.
or keep neither around and have no decorations… there’s always that.
nice bare walls… no plants… candles… nothing.
I used to have a really big patio because I lived in the ground floor and the asshat upstairs would throw his cigarette butts over the side of his balcony onto my patio. If I hadn’t moved I would’ve collected them all and put them around his doorknob.
Stack their empties directly in front of their door so they stumble into them as soon as the door opens, and sweep up the butts and sprinkle them generously on top. A bit of work, but I’m sure they’ll get the drift.
I like the idea of stacking the bottles outside their door. Maybe gear it up so that when they open the door a bag full of soggy butts falls on them. Throw some dog poo in for extra aroma.
sounds like it’s time for an unfortunate accident to befell your neighbors; it’s amazing what kind of misfortune can happ’n with a little ahem … planning 🙂
