Miscreants


  • person who left a room-temperature package of unopened Johnsonville brats on the community table in the southeast side lobby of the Marque apartments at Heritage Hunt in Gainesville VA 
  • those who leave barbells and other equipment in the middle of the Fitness Room floor for elderly residents with poor eyesight and/or mobility problems to trip over (the clueless property manager doesn't realize that there's too much loose junk in the small Fitness Center Room--the adjacent room is EMPTY--DUH!)
  • dogowners who don't pick up after their dogs (bag and properly dispose of the waste after their dogs defecate) 
  • dogowners who leave their dogs to bark nonstop for hours from right behind the front door to their apartment, clearly violating the Prince William County VA noise ordinance    
  • those who don't dispose of their trash properly, leaving it beside dumpsters rather than in them (except when the dumpsters are full--that's on the clueless property manager) 
  • those who stomp around their apartments making loud noises knowing that sound carries through the paper-thin, wood framed floors 
  • those who slam doors 
  • and the biggest miscreant of them all--our upstairs neighbor who run-stomps around her apartment in the middle of the night, making noise like a crazy woman--every night since the first day that we moved into the Marque five months ago. After the first three weeks, when we told her that her noisemaking was preventing us from sleeping at night, she said "we thought that we were being as quiet as possible, but we will try to be better." That was a lie; it's only gotten worse.


In the age of digital clocks, many children learn to tell time before they start school. Those who don't know are taught to tell time in the first few grades. Most children know what "quiet" means before they reach school age--likewise, "noise" and "manners" and "considerate". It is inconceivable that an adult, much less a "seasoned" adult, wouldn't know what 10 PM, quiet, noise, considerate and manners mean. 
This is what the clock looks like when "Quiet Hours" begins.
(PS: it's dark outside.)
This is what the clock looks like when "Quiet Hours" ends.

The only possible explanation is that the seasoned adult is an inconsiderate, narcissistic, ill mannered, troublemaking, evil neighbor from hell.
They advertise the Marque as LUXURY apartments! ... not so much. The property manager for the Marque, Community Realty Company, Inc. in Greenbelt MD, is clueless. The owners, Huntgain Marque, LLC, don't care.

...one can only wish.
