YIKES!!! I heard a loud knocking on a door down the hallway of my apartment building and lots of yelling!!!

It was my resident manager. He was angrily reprimanding someone for something, so naturally, I went to look out my peephole.

Manager (yelling through the closed door):  “Did someone just throw a mattress and box springs over the balcony?”

(There was no response.)

Manager (much louder): “I was out having a good time and someone called me. I don’t like it. If it happens again, I’m gonna write you up.” (He YELLS to no one there 🙂 )

By this time, I am laughing so hard, and trying not to be heard through the door…

THROW A MATTRESS OVER THE BALCONY????

IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN????

Did he really just say that? YUP!

Since there still was no answer, he finally stopped yelling and banging on the door. He left.

I was curious to see “now what?” So, I went to look out my window that overlooks the sidewalk back to his place. I was just in time to see a pickup truck driving away with a mattress and box springs in it. Apparently, the people didn’t want to carry it down the stairs, so I’m thinking they probably just threw it over the side from the balcony and into the truck bed. Makes sense to me! No problem!

But, the manager was a little too late getting down the stairs, so he didn’t see the truck leaving. Oops! But, there he was looking in the dumpster for it…must have been a real head scratcher for him! He disappeared for a few minutes. I am thinking he probably went out back to look on the ground. It wasn’t there and it wasn’t in the dumpster. He probably wondered for DAYS what happened to the missing mattress and box springs! (I will never tell… 😉 )

I watched him angrily stomp away back to his place (I know, I need to get a life…).
