I can't get a break. I live in a building with The Parking Nazi. This guy says he has "seniority" so he's decided that there are 3 garage spaces and the last one (which should be mine) can't be used because then the 4th person in our building (out of 4) would block it. Well, the real reason is so his girlfriend has off-street parking. So during the winter the 4th apartment was vacant...I took the garage. Worked fine...except when the Parking Nazi and his Goebbels in the apartment next door decided their friends should have off-street parking. Now the 4th apartment has been filled, by a Iraq veteran with a great dane...so I've been "kicked out" of the garage. Now, I could be a prick, but the problem is our landlord is freakin nuts. He doesn't cash rent checks for a month after getting them. I've never even met the guy...I've asked for a copy of my lease four times...nothing. He'll be pretty useless. It's not worth the hassle. So I'm just going to be passive-aggressive...I won't shovel, I won't touch the garbage...that'll show him.

I really hate people right now. I'm supposed to go to this community lead poisoning thing right now, but I'm too afraid I'll kill someone who says something stupid, so I'm staying home.
