In a recent post, I talked about doormen helping themselves to mis-delivered packages. Well, the sticky finger misdeeds of some doormen and building guys don’t end there. They extend to the very buildings for which doormen work.

Lost in the system. You ever hear those four annoying words? UPS or FedEx sometimes use them to describe your package, the one you haven’t received yet.

Growing up, I got along with friends of different backgrounds. It was like a United Nations of snotty nosed children playing Whiffle ball and man-hunt. In a perfect world, that’s how all of life would be. But we all know this world is far from Eden and our lives are far from being perfect.

Drinking a glass of water one day, it suddenly dawns on a resident, “My kitchen is sooo outdated.” Many of the original tiles, flooring and fixtures are in place, including that mustard-colored 1970's refrigerator that gave the kitchen a retro feel back when the apartment was purchased. Not only does it leak from the bottom now, but it’s also one hell of an energy guzzler.

A resident finally gets home after a hard day's work. He has shirts from the cleaners draped over one arm, with grocery bags and mail in hand, while with the other hand he's trying to find the right key to insert into the lock.
