I am sooooooooo angry right now and need to vent so I hope u don't mine me venting here!
I am allegric to smoking and I live in an apt building where in the past some ppl would smoke in the hallways. I have posted signs asking them NOT to smoke in the hallways since I can smell it in my apt and I have to go thru the halls to get in/out. I have even complained to the maintence department and they sent a letter to everyone in the complex asking them NOT to smoke in the hallways. I even had them install foam (dunno what it's called) in my doorway so it'll be harder for cig smoke to get through my door! Things had improved then.....
WELLLLLL about 15 min ago, I started smelling smoke real STRONG in my apt and started having a hard time breathing. It was so strong I actually thought it was from a FIRE and checked all over my apt to make sure nothing was burning! Then I decided to open my door to look out in the hallway and WHOA, the hallway REEKED of smoke!
I immediately shut the door but started wheezing.
I had to open a window to get some fresh air and its COLD outside (just snowed yesterday)!
I've called maintence twice already asking for someone to come NOW and clear the hallways (I can't go out to open a window at risk to my health) and to inform the ppl in other apts to NOT smoke in the hallways but haven't seen any maintence people YET.
If people are STUPID enough to smoke risking getting cancer then do it in their OWN APARTMENT or go OUTSIDE but do not make other people SUFFER!!
I don't want to go confront whoever is doing this because I live in a "not safe" area. PLUS I'm deaf so my speech is not too great.
Where is their RESPECT for others??????? Don't they REALIZE that the smoke gets into apartments and could bother people???
ARGGGGGGG... How can I clear my apt out of smoke without freezing and be able to BREATH???
Any suggestions/advice is welcome!
