I live in a wee block of four apts, built into the side of a hill - rather difficult to explain, top two apts built into the top of the hill, bottom one is on the street at the bottom of the hill, in a valley, and mine is in the middle (all own front doors). There is a passageway that runs from the top street to the bottom valley, right by my front door.
The house next to us (on the top street, not part of our building, which backs on to the passage that runs alongside out apts) is being renovated. The workers have been using our passage, even though they do not legally have access. I really wouldn't mind, but they have regularly covered it with cigarette butts, crisp packets and coke cans.
A few weeks ago, our power was cut, out of nowhere. DP rang our electric company, who assured us that it did not come from their end. Their tech discovered that our main fuse had been removed (from the panel that is in the wall along our passageway). We subsequently discovered that the workers in the other house had blown their main fuse, and just helped themselves to ours. Fuckers.
All fucking infuriating, but it gets worse - tonight I was walking down the back steps, and stepped on a fucking rusty nail - embedded in a lump of wood, filthy, and tossed in our passage. Went right through my trainers (fecking expensive Asics and now destroyed) and into my foot. Am raging. DP is going to call LL up tomorrow and let him know about this shite, WIBU to phone the contractor in charge of the work on the house next door and freak the fuck out at them?
