Donatella, that reason for you coffee spill is still way better than my past experience – ie I thought the openning to the cup was near my mouth (vs. it really was up higher) so when I tilt the cup more to get the coffee out, it gushes out and I get coffee from neck down to pants. One time, I was so so covered in coffee, the sales team in the office give me the company logo stuff (polo shirts and golf pants) that normally hand out at trade shows
Since I have seen all kinds of discussions on these forums related to city, people, housing etc, i will share some of my ‘experiences’ with you.
I live in a 4-unit condo building in Rogers Park. Two units (incl. us) are owner occupied while the bottom two units are occupied by Rental tenants.
Recently i started sleeping in the master bedroom and could not believe what i heard.
…people downstairs having sex. I had never heard such noise through walls so i was kind of shock. As the night progressed they got intense but eventually i fell asleep. Next day, they woke me in the middle of the night, with their bed banging against the wall and hence my wall.
It has been several weeks since I first started hearing these noises, and i know their schedule by now. 3 times – once before sleeping around 11pm, once in the middle of the night which usually wakes me up and once around 6-7:30am which is extremely annoying ESPECIALLY on the weekends.
I haven’t encountered the people, nor i do think that i want to. I think i am just going to wait until I move out.
For those wondering what kind of people they are. The girl is what we like to call ‘ghetto’, and she often has new guys over. Surprisingly I have seen the same ‘husband’ for a few weeks now.
The reason I havent encountered about this, is becuse we have had previous run-ins with her as well. We and her share the same basement and a few times my mom moved around her clothes on the laundry rope for which she got VERY angry, once my mom picked her kids’ clothes from the floor for which she got angry etc etc, and parks in half of our spot.
Since there is no condo association there is no where to complain about it. I don’t want to make big issues and try to talk to her calmly but this sex noise thing is very very annoying and embarrassing (at least in my culture), since i sleep with my dad ( now i know why my mom moved into the different bedroom).
I could hear her kids running around at weird times, which is ok-ish since they are kids, sometimes they blast music all day long, and when at night when they are not having sex#1, they are watching TV in loud volume. You think they would have realized that their bed bangs against the wall, by now?
I read about this online and apparently the sex sounds are not so uncommon but for god sake, not in a place that i own.
I once called the owner of the unit (he lives out of state), about the parking issue and he got pissed and asked me to deal with her myself (I think I got him at a bad time).
No a grey pants suit (and I have a really important meeting later) but somehow it doesn’t show now (near my knee). I just love these Banana Republic sponge off fabrics.
But no more coffee on the train. It’s asking for trouble. (Theoretically I could get a ticket for it, since it is a misdemeanor to carry open hot liquids on the train). It would have been worse if I did it to someone else.

not sure what you mean by new yorky, but a real local experience for old-school italian with mid-1900’s interior is Sam’s on Court near Baltic.

CatGar – JtH looks high. Henry’s End says entrees are $16 to $24 – not bad. Teresa’s also looks good if they’re up for that.
ArCATy, I think reservations at Henry’s End are a good idea. And certainly Jack the Horse if that interests you.
dona – Hope you weren’t wearing white!
