Oh Emma,
You are so awesome. This is exactly what I had in mind. We can vent and other posters can offer comfort and point us in the right direction.
I am so angry, but I am also passive-aggressive. I'm sure he would say something to tick me off and my aggressive side would come out.
Right now I have to find a place wherever I can and with the weather getting cold so is my anger.
I don't have the patience to talk to people like this, because they usually lie and that infuriates me.
I have someone coming Friday to look at my garage door and then I will get it fixed. As to my neighbor, he's toast.
Such a smarmy character whose essence I picked up on from the very start.
So, I ignore him, especially with winter coming. We probably won't cross paths too often.
Of course if they were good people then they would have been considerate but clearly they are not at that stage yet. Perhaps fixing the garage is your only choice left. And it's probably a good idea too.
And if you don't like confronting people who tend to cheat and lie, then it's best not to reason with them because it will be fruitless. But you can always set an example right here. Didn't Jesus say 'love your neighbor'? Very nice actually and was probably meant with no condition but perhaps only a few people can take themselves to that level. It frustrates me a great deal as well when people are so transparent but unfortunately not all are equally evolved.
Hope the parking situation gets resolved as soon as possible. It can be brutal in winter! My parking is underground and I have a designated place for it, so reading yours just made me realize that perhaps condo life is not so bad after all.
