Partying Prompts Memo from Apartment Management
Anyone else live or used to live in a building like this?
RE: Yup, these are my neighbors - ChiefZilla - 06-13-2012 03:47 PM
A minor mulch fire caused by residents tossing cigarettes off the balcony? Pretty smart people there.
This is where you live, Posse?

Afraid so. The article withstanding, it's actually a very nice building. Been here almost two years and the partying/drinking at the pool each summer really doesn't bother my wife or I. Never had any major issues or complaints. A lot of young kids out of college live in Arlington since it's a 5 minute drive to DC.

The pool at an apartment complex is the worst. It's up their with a basketball court as one of the biggest resident headaches. Have to implement solid rules that are covered when moving people in, and then follow through on them when the time comes.
It's an extra expense, normally just a rent concession, but a pool monitor would go a long way as well.

There's a "lifeguard" on duty throughout the summer. It's usually someone fresh off the plane from an eastern European country who possesses perhaps 9% body fat (guy or girl). They just sit there and watch- they're powerless to do anything about it. Since the heavy partying usually occurs on Saturdays, the building management is generally not around. A leasing agent or two is around but all they do is spy on what's going on and then tell the property managers about it...which then gets dealt with via a strongly worded e-mail. The e-mail that you read through the link (assuming you did) is an annual rite of summer here- which makes it that much more of a joke (and the residents here know it). If there isn't any partying this Saturday (or perhaps a week or two later if the crowd decides to temporarily listen) it'll be the first time it's stopped.

Strongly worded emails are hilarious esp in response to issues with meatheads & frat guys. Does the author of the email actually think these people read their emails? Maybe they do read it but it is likely in between sets 10 and 11 of their curls and at that point "frat bro" is only worried about tanning and shaving his chest before heading back to the pool to impress the ladies.
Sounds like the management company is worried about only one thing: 100% occupancy = $$$

I couldn't stop laughing while reading this. Sets 10 and 11 of their curls. Brilliant.

Funny....cause it's true
I would sooner kill myself then become "that guy" at the gym or in any other facet of life

Exactly.

I was surrounded by a bunch of "those guys" at a bar while watching the Pacquiao fight last weekend. They tried to start a billion "U-S-A" chants, and when no one joined in they complained that no one had any patriotism.
It was like a pack of 15 of them. All together. Acting as a shield against any female within 20 feet. I must've heard the word "bro" 3,000 times. By the end of the fight I wanted to rip my ears off my head.

I live by the 90% rule. I assume that 90% of people are assholes. The actual number is probably higher.
As for Posse, can't wait til you're the cranky old man yelling at kids to get off your lawn.
Take these douche bags for what they're worth - examples of why you should feel better about yourself. Half of them probably have gonorrhea and the other half will have herpes in the future. They're living life with no direction and think Bud Lights are high-class beers. When they're old, arrogant, friend-less losers, the only fist pumping they'll be doing is with their own itchy dick.
Let 'em be annoying losers. Eventually one of them will drown or OD and life will be back to normal.

I actually had to be that guy for the first time in almost two years of living here. A loud party was keeping my wife awake at around 12:30 on Friday night. She had worked a lot of hours this week and was understandably exhausted and pissed off. This party was on the opposite tower that's separated by the pool/courtyard and was echoing between the buildings. The assholes had the stereo on full blast (the balcony door was open), everyone was loud, and people were playing beer pong right by their balcony. We could clearly see all this from our balcony and hear it in the bedroom.
I had to go to the concierge and walk him into the courtyard so he could hear the noise and see the party (it was on the 2nd floor, so it was easily visible to anyone). The concierge politely asked them to quiet down. I went back to my apartment but the party continued. My wife had fallen asleep but woke up again within a few minutes because of the noise. I went back to tell the concierge. He either told them he HAD called the police or was going to call the police. I'm not really sure what he said or what he did but by the time he came back and I went back to my apartment, the party had stopped.
I didn't want to be that guy- I felt incredibly old during the ordeal. But for those of you who are married, you know the drill: Happy wife, happy life.
