I let the scumbags in.

Fromthetrees

Was having a smoke at the door to my apartment block last night about midnight and two scumbags walked in past me saying they wanted to talk to Eddie. Just got a knock in from my neighbour who lives upstairs and he said all the clothes and stuff they had out drying had been taken from the hallway.

It's one of the thickest things I've done this year.

Anyone got any kind words?

What kind of muppet puts their clothes to dry in a hallway?

Who's Eddie?

Tabnabs

You were trying to be kind and you neighbour is an idiot for leaving their clothes "and stuff" in a common area?

Dravokivich

How do you know some other fúcker in the apartment block didn't knick those clothes?

What were you gonna do. Tell them "no you can't talk to Eddie"? Your neighbour is a muppet.

That's an issue for another thread I suppose.

The person the scumbags pretended they were going in to see.

You were looking for trouble wearing his best hoodie when you answered the door to him.

The kind of people who think they live somewhere civilised? My neighbours have their BBQ outside their apartment, others have their bikes propped up in the hallway and we all dry our clothes on the communal terrace. Shock horror, a civilised country!

Yeah but who is he? Does he live there? What is his relationship with the scumbags?

Is there any evidence that the people you let in are the people who stole his clothes? The lads could actually have been going to see someone called Eddie, and your neighbours clothes could well have been stolen by someone living in the building. Maybe someone hacked off with him blocking corridors with clothes horses full of damp Y-fronts.

You've learnt a valuable lesson. Security procedures only work when they're enforced every time. That's the reason for the door.

Learn from it and move on.

Eddie doesn't exist, I should have copped it.

They took clothes from the two apartments on the 1st floor, the neighbour who called to me earlier came back from work while they were in the process of taking the clothes so it was definitely the two scumbags. We also described the two of them the same, tall, drunk and scumbaggy.

I'm not sure a country where people think a hall and a terrace are the same thing is really civilised.

I once had a roommate called Eddie. Crazy, crazy man. He used to watch me sleep :eek::eek:

you're not supposed to block the common areas...you're possibly in breach of your lease and effecting your block policy. nothing to do with how civilised people are...its so there are no obstructions in an emergency.

that aside...don't feel too bad you weren't to know..beat time just tell people to buzz the person they're visiting on the intercom.

Could have been worse OP, they could have shot someone

He wasn't also fond of the old soapbar and follically challenged by any chance?. The crazy Ed I knew was also prone to roaring his lungs out with a few beers in him?.

Sorry didn't see video clip in s**tty IE in work. Ignore previous post.

There are clothes in the hallways as well. Plenty of space, so not obstructing anyone or causing a fire risk. The (fairly obvious) point was that it is perfectly normal to leave your stuff in the communal areas and not expect it to be nicked, but well done for missing it.

Thank God!! It was Cork.

I thought for a moment it happened in Dublin.

SunnyDub1

did no one spot the scumbags leaving with a sh*t load of wet clothes and think hmm that's odd

I am sure they weren't going to see "Eddie" just to get some clothes.
Could of been a lot worse imo.

Maybe they looked scumbaggy cause they were wearing wet clothes..

When they walked upstairs, did you then hear them pretend to talk to someone and say: "Eddie are you okay? Are you okay Eddie"?

If so, you've been hit by, some smooth criminals.

It was bound to happen sooner or later OP, I wouldn't feel too bad if i were you. I don't think you should be handing over any money anyway. You are not the thief here.

Be surprised how many people living in Apartments don't do that though. Last apartment complex I lived in people would just be let in if they were coming in at the same time as another. Was a rough area though and people just didn't like confronting strangers and telling them they couldn't just slip in while the door was open.

I think the lesson we all need to take from this, and it's an important one to maintain standards in this wild world we live in, is to shoot anyone who wants to come in and speak to Eddie. Any Eddie. Jock snafflers need to be stopped. Our clothes need protecting. These lowlifes will stop at nothing to get their hands on your fashion. Shoot them, ask questions later. Our chinos will thank us.

The other people that live there will be able to walk through the hall without walking into some morons underwear. You should get a medal.

I remember once before my next door neighbour knocked into my house screaming that I'd stolen the clothes off her line. I got such a fright I almost shat her pants.

You're claiming ownership of that joke because you started a thread with it?

Well no you see you are wrong. The management company can remove any items from the common area without any prior notice what so ever so your personal items can be taken and it is completely legal to do so.
As for them not being a fire hazard...what happens if some scumbag accesses the common area and sets them (the clothes) alight, im pretty sure that's a fire hazard.
The common areas belong to the management company and therefore you are not entitled to leave any personal items in them, simple.
