It has definitely been an experience to say the least. Jed & Chelsea...I don't know how you did it all summer long haha.
Her Rules:
*Only park on the right side of drive way (Under the tree that sheds like crazy leaving its sap on our cars)
*not allowed in the family room or to use bathroom on middle floor .. it's for her and guests only
*do not stack pans on top of one another "metal on metal...it'll scratch" so napkin or paper towel is to be placed between each one
*We are not allowed to use the vacuum therefor she will vacuum our room (we put the kabosh on that one!)
*Shut each door very very gently to not cause damage of any kind
*Pay half of any broken appliances while living there (This is not a marriage so that was a big no on our part)
She had 2 pages of things we had to abide by but these were a few.
#1
Rule was for our privacy, before owner of home comes down stairs (to get to her office or do laundry) was to first knock and wait for either of us to let her know she is good to come down. Well...one day I was in the shower and Ryan was getting ready. The bathroom mind you is just below the stairs, so you know when it is on if you open the door.
She knocked on the door. No answer. ''Hello? helloooooo? hellloooooooooooo? still no answer and I'm thinking ok I am in the shower lady obviously we are both getting ready and too busy to answer. Than the cell phones start going off after the cowbell has been run a couple of times.
What was her hurry?
She needed us to move our cars some time soon.

We went to Utah for a family funeral. I closed our bedroom door, closed the bathroom door cause it's by the washer/dryer and didn't have time to clean it before we left.
Ryan gets a phone call saying our toilet is dirty and needs to be cleaned..... ok mommy!
We come home and she has left out of town. We find a note from her reminding us to clean bathroom and toilet and to keep lights turned off when leaving each room. I felt like I was 10 years old.
I could go on but than this would be a really long post! I highly recommend to live by yourselves when newly married if possible. As embarrassing or annoying as it has been living here it has made for some good laughs and great stories.
Your blog makes it sound like I'm your landlady. Totally not!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, I would be homicidal. Seriously, I could not live with someone like that. I'm glad you have such a good sense of humor about it!
ReplyDeleteWhen we lived in Bountiful when Fitz was born, our downstairs elderly neighbor was really nosey and since we lived above her she could hear a lot of things that went on in our apartment. It. Drove. Me. Crazy. Like, one night Al was singing Fitz to sleep and she freakin' called us on the phone immediately to tell him she wanted him to sing at her funeral! She also tapped on her ceiling/our floor with a broom whenever she wanted me to come downstairs and talk with her. We've never had such a great apartment since and we could have lived there longer, but that neighbor was enough reason for me to insist on moving when our lease was up.
what?! it does not Britt lol. You would be an AWESOME landlady haha.
ReplyDeleteomg Jeni I would kill! We had some awkward conversations but no phone calls at night! I would go even more nuts living with that lady!
