Popular Post w94005m Posted August 4, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 4, 2021 My neighbor opposite insists on leaving his front door propped open to allow him to save money on ac. I've asked him to shut his door as he is effectively breathing mask less into my condo, as it's of course impossible to seal my door entirely or indeed anyone walking by. He refuses to do so and with delta being so infectious, I am really frustrated. My condo office has been of no help. Has anyone else had this situation? 1 2 6 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next you'll be asking for 30-minute time slots to use the lift, or even the stairs!

Popular Post Crossy Posted August 4, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 4, 2021 The solution is in HomePro https://www.homepro.co.th/p/1041970 99Baht. Apply to your door when closed. Seriously, I doubt there's any real hazard particularly if you keep your own door closed. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrJ2U Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 People do that's all the time. Keeping the airflow moving to cool the room down. Your going to have to just shut your door or move. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caldera Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 I've never seen anyone in my condo leaving their door open. But then again, I think that's because that's their preference, not due to any enforceable regulation that says that they need to keep their doors shut.

Our doors start beeping if you don't close them. Haven't seen any regulation (not saying there isn't one) on it but at the same time I've never seen any of the doors open. Maybe OP could keep his doors open and tell neighbour that he has COVID and air flow helps him breathe easier. Add some coughs to make it more convincing...

If you're smoker, puff right next to door to ensure that smoke goes into his room. Refuse to close the door. Silly. Don't you realise that the smells will permeate the whole corridor and other people's rooms? Edited August 6, 2021 by Card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post utalkin2me Posted August 6, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 6, 2021 That sounds like a super ghetto building. It obviously should never even be a thing to leave your door open unless you are in a building in the Brazilian barrio or something. If neighbors have this little class time to move. I would rate leaving your door open all day as people walk by your room about on the same level as walking in to the hallway, dropping trau and taking a steamer for everyone to walk by. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. But be careful. You don't want to escalate this to a confrontation. Perhaps with all this pandemic stuff there may be a nicer condo for a reasonable price in a higher quality condominium that doesn't permit this. Prices are dirt cheap for rentals at the moment. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, no. Fans don’t cool rooms. Leaving your door open does in fact work, but see my above post. You just… can’t…. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I gather, it’s home base for gay rent boys, their papasan, and various girlfriends. Fortunately, it’s quiet when there are customers. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uroller Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 I heard of a guy who felt the same way as you, his name was Howard Hughes, a real “germ freak” used to lock himself up in luxury hotels taking the whole floor so wouldn’t have neighbours germs to worry about???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
