Related question:
wouldn't it be (highly) illegal to put cameras in the tenants unit? Mustn't they be limited to common areas? (I realize this is not really the case here). The blurb didn't really specify where exactly the cameras were placed.

You think it might have been inside the exit sign in the apartment?

Cams are placed in hallways. That's all you need to determine comings and goings of the tenant.

Why? Truth has so many more delusional dimensions and dysfunctions to explore. Coco is just a guy who despises you and has fun, like you do, bantering.

I don't think C0C0 is enjoying himself, I don't think he's capable. Except perhaps those type of people who enjoy their own misery, what do you call that type?

A masochist perhaps?

I knew this woman "of a certain age" some years back who was happiest when she was kvetching & bemoaning her relationship & dental problems, real or imagined.

She was obsessed with this married man, who apparently didn't have the same level of interest in her (read: obsessive/stalking) that she had in him, & constantly referred to him as the GHB (Gray Haired Bastard).

In between GHB laments were her 2nd favorite: Her dental dillemas.

Every time she squawked, the cost of her perpetual procedures varied by several thousand dollars, & claimed that "If they ever find me dead, they'll be able to identify me by all the piano wire in my mouth!"

Even knowing all this, I (very stupidly) invited her to our building's annual Holiday Party.

Before it got underway, she came upstairs to my apartment first.

As usual, she started in about her latest oral nightmare, gesticulating wildly while pointing to different areas inside her yacking mouth for me to see, in the event I didn't believe her.

At this point, I was really ready for a drink, & ready to go downstairs. She wasn't finished, however, & appeared upset that I wasn't giving her the sympathy she so desperately needed to hear.

I then pointed to my Mom's aging beagle mix, who had recently come to live with me & who's teeth I just had cleaned.

I said, "Look, even a dog has to be lucky with dental issues. Just take a look at her teeth. Die you ever see such clean teeth on a dog?" I them picked up the dog' flews so she could see for herself.

She took a look, then just shook her head mournfully, stariing blankly as she did so.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"Uch in vey is meer" ("Woe is me" in Yiddish).

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"Uch in vey is meer that I should have to be jealous of a dog's teeth!"

That was it. Enough already, & down we went to the party.

She got very drunk, & made a complete ass out of herself. She came on to a resident, who (of course) wouldn't give her the time of day & became infuriated when he didn't respond to her drunken advances. Talk about embarrassing - our board president saw & heard it all. I was only afraid she'd start demanding guests look into her mouth (as if hearing it weren't enough).

I think we finally stuck her in a cab & sent her on her way, still babbling as the door closed & it took off uptown.

Definitely a night to remember...

greensdale: It's been one week since I commented on streeteasy. Drunken trolls alanhart and aboutready
were on se patrol waiting for me to post a comment.

"delusional dimensions and dysfunctions"... the frustrated alkie housewife/ fake shrink
fantasy, yet again. She can't learn how to drive a car because she's an alkie and could never pass a road test.
She's angry because the weather in NYC "sucks" and she "can't wait to fucking leave".
She's stuck living in NYC, ranting and raving alone at home.

CoCo "depises you", greensdale.
trollalanhart got here to troll me first, and aboutready soon followed him.
She threw in her "expert" opinion about CoCo and his thoughts, delving deeply into his innermost feelings:
CoCo "has fun" despising you.

It's another home-alone late Saturday night for her.

The least you could do is apologize to Purgie for ruining his Christmas party, instead of just going on and on about yourself and aboutready and your dentures.

LOL, alanhart - hilarious coincidence: My party-ruiner's name is the same as our beloved you-know-who... only without the "T" as the 1st letter!
