I quite like the apartment I live in. Nice space, no real problems with the management, mostly quiet neighbors. Actually... relatively few neighbors at all. I live on the 3rd floor. For two out of the five months I've lived here, all four of the 2nd floor apartments beneath me have been empty. My "downstairs neighbor" actually moved out within about two weeks of me coming in, and it had been empty ever since...
...until last week. Sometime while I was on the road, people moved in. Which is no problem. I just hope they don't take issue with my DDR playing. I've been able to stomp away with totally impunity for months, but now I suppose the considerate thing to do would be to stop before 9:00 or 10:00 at night. We'll see if I get that knock at the door one day.
Elsewhere in the complex, in the building across from me, lives one of my friends. The apartment directly across from him was taken just hours before I signed my lease, and very likely would have been mine had I gotten to the punch quicker. I didn't know it was across from my friend until after the fact. In any case, whoever it was that kept us from living the Kramer/Jerry scenario was apparently just "stopping by," and moved out a month later.
Now there's a new tenant in that apartment. And I don't mean to be a snoop, but I can see right in his living room window every day as I walk from my car -- his blinds are always open. And his TV is always on. It doesn't matter what hour of the day I'm coming home, or what day of the week. I came back from the bachelor party a few weeks ago at 3:30 in the morning on Saturday -- the TV was on. I get home from work any time between 6:30 and 7:00 -- the TV is always on.
I know what some of you are thinking: "Hey, kettle! This is the pot! You're black!" But there are plenty of times where my TV is off. Right now, as I'm blogging this, for example. And after this, I intend to sit down and read for a while. But this person's TV apparently cannot be turned off. I guess I'm just floored by someone who watches more TV than I do.

The TV being on all the time isn't so unusual if the guy's watching porn, but then the whole situation is just sad.
Well Mr Peeping Lorentz, does he watch anything interesting? You could save on your cable bill.
Some people still watch porn on TV? Weird.
In my last apartment-share, my roomie left the TV on all hours for his cat. I would turn it down when I passed and the cat wasn't watching, for the moment's peace. Maybe your "Ugly Naked Guy" has a pet?
