Déjà vu

When I first moved into my condo in Feb 2005- it was very quiet and filled with snowbirds. I seriously thing the only thing noisy in the whole complex was Jaeger and his barking (had I known dachsies were prone to the bark, I might have reconsidered adopting him and bringing him into the condo life). About a year later, I noticed the average age of residence dropping…not so many old and decrepit and snowbirds were unloading their units for a killer price in the fabulous market and younger people were snatching them up. Some units went to rent.

One night- the unit across from mine was having a bit of a ruckus going on, and I can hear some yelling. I go to the window of my guest room that’s in the front of the condo. Some guy is yelling and kicking the door of the neighboring condo, going on about how he knows “he’s in there” and he better come out and he knows he’s been with his girlfriend. The particular unit in question was empty and had been for sale for quite some time. The girlfriend is next to the yeller/kicker, crying saying that she didn’t cheat on him and no one lives next door. The drama ensues for a while, I’m waiting for some old blue hair to call the police, some other residents are yelling out their windows to the yeller/kicker to “shut up” which was very effective. Then the yeller/kicker decides to kick the window of the unit. I call the police, report a domestic disturbance, the coppers come. More crying comes from the girlfriend not knowing why anyone would call the police, the yeller/kicker is red hot and angry- still insistent that the cheater is in the condo and not coming out. It was some high end excitement.

Then a couple of weeks later in the middle of the night I hear “DAANNNNIIEEELLLLEE” “DAANNNIIIEEELLLLEEEE” “DAAAANNNIIIEEELLLLE”

Not again….

My room over looks the pool/greenbelt area of the complex…it’s very pretty, but very annoying when there are people having pool parties and bbqs late at night.

I look out the window and there are 2 younger guys walking around outside of the pool area screaming for Danielle. I couldn’t tell if it was the same yeller/kicker that I called the cops on previously- but after about 20 minutes of trying to lure DAAAANNNIIIIEEELLLEEEE, I don’t hear them anymore and go back to sleep.

Where’s the Déjà vu you ask? I’m getting there….

Last night around 1am I hear something along the lines of either “PUPPY” or “FLUFFY” being yelled but some guy around the pool area. Jaeger’s going berserk. The yelling and walking around goes on for about 30 minutes. I don’t know if Mr. Man found “PUPPY/FLUFFY”… but I had a total flashback to “DAAANNNNIIIIEEELLLLEEEE”.

All I know is that I’d rather he someone call for their missing pet at 1 in the morning, then 2 idiots looking for some girl.
