That person really should have thought about what they wanted to write before just jotting down the first garbage that popped into their head.
Ima vent my fart to his window
reply w/ “DO NOT VENT YOUR BAD ATTITUDE & HORRIBLE GRAMMAR INTO THE COMMON AREAS; IT’S NOT APPRECIATED. THANK YOU.”
lead paint handwriting
Apparently using apostrophes ~~isn’t~~ is not allowed either.
I would really love to see the language in the lease that even comes close to what the person writing seems to think exists.
I bet it is more like, *’Don’t vent burnt food odor or smoke into the public halls’* as that can cause false fire alarms.
How is an apartment dweller supposed to control the venting of their kitchen?
Meanwhile whenever my Indian neighbour’s cook I half consider going over and asking for a plate..
“I am trying to enjoy my microwaved american cheese and you’re RUINING IT!”
Oh weird how they didn’t leave their contact info for a reply.
Might have to put that paper in the elevator with a note added ‘we have racists living here’.
I’m betting your sister is Indian and this person has no idea where the smell is coming from, just assumes it’s the Indian person. Completely ignoring that other people also like tasty food.
I do have neighbours who cook exotic and the hallways fill up with it’s smell. I do open the windows in the hallway but they always complain that their flat is getting very cold from open windows and they want me to have the windows closed.
I hate it
To be fair that food stinks in my opinion but obviously whoever wrote this is extremely rude.
I’d be infuriated with you, but I can’t read the glyphs of the dipshitanese language…
In other words: who taught this fuckass how to write?
Here in Canada that could get someone a hefty fine lol (posting that note I mean)
Tbh curry can stink a whole house out not much can do about it those spices pack a punch
i lived in a building where 2 apartments nearby cooked with monster amounts of curry – a woman was from india and a man was from bahamas (? somewhere around there)
the stench was freaking godawful
management eventually notified everyone to keep their doors closed when cooking – both these apartments always kept their doors open
The assortment of letter capitalization is bending my brain
As an Indian who lives in largely non-Indian neighborhood, I do take care that cooking smells are vented through gas top chimneys with filters as I understand that the smells are not everyone’s cup of tea. It doesn’t take much to be considerate. World does not revolve around me and what I like. So I don’t get what’s wrong with the note, sure they weren’t home for two days, but were they not cooking earlier? Cooking smells are like music, I love them, but shouldn’t impose on others.
So I’m assuming this person is being racist and blaming the random apartment for a food smell that reached them? When they weren’t even home to cause the smell?
I had a stroke trying to read this. Still unsuccessful.
The last apartment we lived in had an issue with other tennents cooking wafting into the shared hallways and eventually in to our unit. I ended up making a rubber seal on our side of the apartment door that did a great job of keeping the food smells out while we were inside.
Just hold your breath until you get in to your unit… we bought a house 2 months after.
I used to live in a building with sri lankens and oh man, everywhere I went people told me I smelt like curry. Eventually moved but that stench really sticks to clothing.
‘curry’
man you should smell some folks who thinking microwaving fish is okay
Your sister should tape it to everyone’s door on the floor and explain that she has been accused (in absentia) by some insane anti-curry narcissist.
I wouldn’t have taken the note seriously without the underlined, THATS NOT ALLOWED.
Omg! I have a downstairs neighbor who is so fucking intolerant that he cane knocking at our door two days after we moved in trying to intimidate us by yelling HEY MAN WHO GUYS WALK VERY HEAVY LIKE STOMPING. Mind you its me and my husband and we aren’t either heavy lifters neither heavy built to do this. Plus eversince he thumps his ceiling/ our floor if we even accidentally drops something. I guess some people just don’t have community living etiquettes.
The smell of curry was so strong in my apartment one day that even in the hall one of our guests vomited. The fact is that you shouldn’t do things that disturb your immediate neighbors and curry is certainly something that disturbs people. Imagine having to carry groceries while holding your breath so you don’t vomit, it is rough as hell. So rather than just jumping on the person who wrote this maybe consider that there are 2 sides to a story. And just because she hasn’t been home in 2 days does not mean the smell had time to leave. Curry stink was around for about a week after the neighbors had moved out. The landlord couldn’t even rent the place for almost a month.
I didn’t say anything because I wanted to be polite and respectful, but it was at my personal discomfort and sickness.
Curry smell soaks into everything! It’s the reason lots of apartments only have carpet in the bedroom and blinds instead of curtains in Melbourne, Australia. Those people would be better off moving than kicking up a fuss.
Nothing racist about this. Curry has a very strong smell, other tenants obviously don’t like the smell.
