DR Elmore, that oaf is really getting on my nerves. Did the landlord ever reply to you? This would drive me crazy. I'm not sure how you cope.
No, DR Jennifer, there's been no response from the landlord. I cope essentially by fantasizing brutally killing the Oaf in the various ways:
1. waiting till I hear him around 5am go out to walk the dog and butchering him in the elevator
2. waiting till he goes out around 5am, climbing the fire escape, killing whoever's in his bed and waiting for him to return to kill him
3. knocking on his door and when he opens it, attacking him with a weapon, something will will not only kill but hurt
What I want to do is initiate an email trail of complaints, then taking the landlord to court and suing his ass off for doing nothing. I'm also thinking of going to the police precinct next week, when I'm out of the studio and tell them my concerns about possible drug dealing between 11pm and 4am.
