whyt dont people think are people really getting dumber

You have my sympathies..Liz and I did that for a few years..Its not that people are dumb. They're just downright inconsiderate. It seems like they believe that the most important person in their lives should be the most important in yours. They figure that anything that has to do with them or their living space takes priority over EVERYTHING else and that its not for you to have any private time away from the insanity of dealing with them and their krap..I know too well and have no qualms with saying I never want to do that again! Enjoy!

Personally I think a lot of the problem stems to be that there are so many people out there who lead such busy lives, that it leaves others with no real time to spend around others, and maybe they've taken to TV and Computers being their life instead to where every once in a while they have to find someone to talk too even if the other person is not interested just to hear themselves talk. But I have heard this complaint lately from anyone who manages apts. as tenants seem to think if the manager lives there they can be bothered any time day or night for sure. But overall, I feel a lot of people out there are getting a lot dumber. Even out in the real work force. I see it all the time with people I work with, and see around me and it makes me wonder what is really happening for so many not to notice this happening within themselves for sure.

yeah that would drive me nuts too, i would turn off the phones, lock the doors and refuse to open it for anyone betrer you then me

I'm so sorry to hear that. Maybe you should put some kind of wall between the office and you're actual apartment? I don't know. I would refuse to chat or even open the office door before office hours. Anyways, good luck! I hope things get better.

Hiya easymoney, I would not like to be in your shoes I really would´nt. I was once "President" of the Doorway in which we lived with 24 families of all sorts of People. Now most of them were okay just about and they did´nt bother me too much. They left me with all the debts that no one wanted to pay they used to come and try to get me to talk about other People specially the ones who were not able to keep up with the payments. I never did talk to them about that and they never had any consideration for the fact that I was pregnant at the time and I was having a really rough pregnancy. Most annoying of all was when that darned lift kept breaking and they practically refused to come and repair it until the arrears were paid off. Only and only because I persuaded them did they come back on the promise they would be paid as soon as possible. The lift broke at least four times in a row and I had the worst People ringing my Doorbell at three o´clock in the morning to ask me when was the lift going to be repaired not just one ring and foul mouthed words too. I even had to go and pay the light bill once so they would not cut the power of the lift off. Boy did I celebrate New Years Eve of that Year I could not wait to hand over the Books to the next People. Yes this happens in sunny Spain too (grin). Not all sunshine and roses eh?
