Dear Neighbour(s),

Mummy says I should learn to be patient and try to ignore you, but i’m getting quite fed up. And because i don’t want to disobey, i shall rant about you(s) online. So let’s begin:

MAN, YOU FELLAS MAKE ME SUPER PISSED WITH YOUR KILLER LITTER TENDENCIES. Why can’t you all just get a dustbin, it’s not that expensive you know?! You don’t even have to get a proper bin for that matter, any plastic bag will do. Just stop throwing things out of your windows because THEY ALL LAND ON MY PARAPET.

Imagine waking up in the morning after a good nights rest, throwing open the windows wanting to breathe in some fresh air only to see wads of toilet paper on the parapet. Then your vivid imagination takes over and attempts to guess what’s inside the wad of paper. Besides that, i’ve found prune seeds, some smelly gooey brown mass that might be shit, orange seeds, orange peel, tooth picks and a whole lot of other stuff. I like surprises like snail mail, but not these kinda surprises if you get my drift.

It’s gross and really disgusting you know. Not to mention the bacteria festering in your trash outside MY window. I can visualise those air-borne microbes all rushing in the minute i open my window. Not a pleasant sight and thought.

But there’s nothing much i can do about it, because i can’t catch you red handed unless i station myself somewhere across and wait for you(s) to throw and most importantly, i’ve no idea who you are – if i do, you can be sure there’s no way i’d smile at you if you ever walk past me and i’d not hold the lift door open for you.

You(s) should learn how to be a socially responsible and gracious neighbour. If not, at least some obligation to be as i’m quite a nice neighbour. I mean, I put up with your chair dragging, handphone vibrating (oh yes, your floor my ceiling isn’t that thick, i wake up at 5am when your alarm goes off!)….stuff like that.

So neighbour, please be more considerate. Don’t kill my joy of living at springview with your killer litter. I’d keep you company if you plan to go buy a bin. I would even stay long enough to choose the colour of the bin with you if you like (mine’s white!).

Thank you!

Yours Faithfully,
Neighbour :)
