What Bugs Me
Excuse me, neighbour, don't block stairwell with your wooden plank

After a hard day's work, the sight of a stairwell blocked by a wooden plank is hardly welcome. STOMPer Jasmine's next-door neighbour did exactly that today, inconveniencing her.

Said Jasmine in her email (Mar 14):

"Inconsiderate neighbour blocks the stairway with wooden plank...twice!

"I just came home to the sight of a blocked stairway...courtesy of my next-door neighbour.

"This is not the first time this has happened; the last time being after the long CNY weekend.

"The address is Block 266, Boon Lay Drive, on the 12th floor.

"I take the stairs daily and this is really causing a lot of inconvenience.

"I called the West Coast Town Council last month regarding this matter, and they've promptly taken action by removing the blockage and sending out warning letters.

"I'll be calling them again as soon as their phone lines open tomorrow.

"I just want to appeal to all flat-dwellers: PLEASE BE CONSIDERATE!

"You are not just causing an inconvenience, you are also potentially causing a fire hazard by blocking the common corridors and stairways with your personal or unwanted stuff!"

Break the plank into pieces and leave it at their door steps. Lol!! I also hav an inconsiderate neighbour who thinks she own the whole corridor. And now,she's like guilty to see me and my family and walk away when she see us at the lift.

If just the 2 families on that floor, then I think they are finding faults with you obviously.
Complain to TC? It'll worsen the relationship. Don't expect anything effective. They are nothing more than just employing ah nehs and bangalas clearing the rubbish chutes. They are not competent to settle disputes between neighbors. Count yourself unluncky to such backward citizens living next to you.

i think prolonged living in flats is making us all go round the bend.

My stupid neighbour has all her things and junk outside on to the common corridor. There is a huge clothes rack. so when she hangs her clothes for all and sundry to see, the famly will open the fire door at the staircase . They did this many times. I inforrmed the town council a;nd they were warned. Imagien if there is a fire,it will spread so fast. The fire door is there for a reason. everyone knows a fire door is to be kept closed. it prevents fire from spreading. I dont know why the town council doesnt do followup once a report or complaint has been made. if we complain too many times they think we do it for a hobby:(

Unfortunately there are just too many of these people from IMH who forgot to take their medication. I also have a same-floor nut-case neighbour who irritates the other 4 families on the same floor. Stares at anyone passing by his unit to get to 'his' stairs which he actually announced to everyone belongs to him. Lucky his wife quite nice (looks and character), I can't wait to drive him totally crazy when he finds out I have been bonking his wife.
