Hall Monitor


As upsetting as it is to know that people living in your building are chucking bags of human feces, used condoms and live mice out the window, there's actually something that upsets me even more. For the past eight years someone here has made a weekly habit of dropping off-brand cotton swabs in the hallway and on the stairs of my building, usually coated with ear wax on both ends. (Am I to believe that the culprit has somehow never once noticed doing this?) Must people be so fucking thoughtless and disgusting all at once?


(Pictured you'll see the very casinoesque carpeting that my super's wife mops once a week too.)

Does she at least mop up the Q-Tips?

Yikes -- "off-brand swabs," no less. How declasse.

I had to laugh at loud. I have been taking pictures of the front door of my apartment neighbor because she leaves garbage in front of it every day and every day it is a new bag. This is very upsetting to those of us who are obsessively neat. When I have a few, I shall present my proof to apartment management....

Over here at the Hotel Chelsea we have to obsessively monitor our shared bathroom and its surroundings. It goes without saying, we often see off-brand swabs thrown down the air shaft that opens into the bathroom.

My God, the bagful of human feces is so gonna hit the fan when you catch that bastard. I'd actually be in favor of capital punishment if it would be broadened to include this type of "what genus are you?" behavior.

YIKES! That is TRULY disgusting. Reminds me of my college roomate - we shared an apartment for a year and he used to clip his toenails in the living room (which I thought was gross to begin with), but them when we moved out and moved the sofa I discovered a YEARS WORTH of his CLIPPED NAILS under there (I used to sleep on the sofa, by the way, because he snored like a cow and I could hear him through the bedroom walls). Great, huh?

why don't you just buy yourself some fake blood (since halloween is around the corner), a box of tampons and enjoy placing one in the hallway once a week.
