My boomer neighbor walked straight into my apartment and started looking around

This happened a few months ago.

I was having renovation work done in my apartment, and was working from home so that I could help the handymen with any question or issues. They were moving stuff in and out of the apartment so often left the main door open which didn’t bother me.

I was working in the office, door closed, when suddenly the door opened.

My first thought was that it was the handymen with a question. Which was weird because every time so far they had knocked.

But no, in the door stood my boomer neighbor, a woman in her 50-60s something. We just stared at eachother for a few seconds before I confused asked her “Yes…Hello?”

She stared back and just said “Oh, I just wanted to see what this place looked like inside.”

I think she realized pretty quickly how much she had messed up because she quickly and sheepishly started shuffling towards the door. I followed her and in a probably way to diplomatic voice told her that next time she really should knock or ask. She apologized, tried to offer to give me a cupcake she just bought and awkwardly ran in to her apartment.

Ever since that I’ve been very through to always lock my door. I can understand catching a glimpse through a neighbors open main door, but to literally walk straight in and start opening rooms was beyond my imagination.








I screwed up, now YOU owe ME $100

I screwed up, now YOU owe ME $100

We recently had our property manager change from a member of the silent generation to that totally rational, not lead poisoned at all generation of baby boomers. The conversation that follows is what happened after the land lord did not sign the check and tried to deposit rent this month.

Baby Boomer (BB)

This is a copy paste of the convo, minus the pictures/names for privacy reasons.

BB: (Tenants name) the recent rent check has been returned for insufficient funds Please supply a cashiers check for the May rent including the late fee right away

ME: recently my bank informed me that the check you tried to deposit was flagged as fraud, therefore they refused to transfer funds. apparently it did not get endorsed properly. attached are the images of the check in question. there appears to be no signature on the back, therefore making the check invalid. what information did you receive from your bank?

*Next Morning*

BB: At this point in time the rent just needs to get paid Please supply rent with the late fee as soon as you can

Well my friendly Booomer, you have hit a crossroads. You can either do the right/logical/legal thing, swallow your pride and withdraw the requirement for a late fee or I can open a can of legal whhhhoop azz on you.

Let me know what y'all think.
