So, a good friend of mine was asleep in his bed at 7:30 in the AM on a Saturday after a good round of partying the night before. At exactly 7:31, someone knocked on his door. He just ignored it and went back to sleep... Well a few minutes later, 6 guys are outside his apartment taking the entire frame off from around the window, and yank his window out... Now, I know what you're thinking; "bang bang bang bang bang bang." ...Wrong answer! It turns out that the apartment complex had hired a team of guys to replace the windows on every building in the complex. They spent 2 whole days IN HIS APARTMENT banging around and replacing windows. According to him they even had keys.
Now, the new windows look nice so don't get me wrong, but I work evenings, so my waking hours begin no earlier than 10:30am. If someone comes to the door banging at 7:30, and then lets themselves in, my dogs are going to go batsh*t, and I'm going to head out to the livingroom with my shotgun to see what all of the comotion is about. Now, I haven't received any notice, but even if I do, 7:30am to me is like 4am is to most of you. I think anyone who was woken up at that hour by someone coming into their house uninvited would probably be a bit confused, even if they were told the maintinance men were coming. Now I don't want the trouble and possible eviction that would come along with an accidental armed confrontation between myself and a good old fasioned blue collar maintinance team, even if they were uninvited and unannounced... It just wouldn't go over well in this liberal college town and honestly, I would feel really bad about it.
Soooooooo.... My question to you is; What should I do about this situation? I live on the 3rd floor, so I don't think I need to worry about them coming in through a window... maybe I'll just install that chain lock I've been thinking about.
