The 'Homies' Downstairs: WWGD?

Okay,

I know that we are paying a very tidy sum to live in this apartment complex, and until last month, everything has been great. We lived in a reletively quiet building beneath a family and across from an old lady that uses a cane. We know we live in a place that also houses folks that are not really our type...but we leave them alone, and they have left us alone...until last month.

I don't really know how many people live downstairs, because there's so many people going in and out. The best I can guess is that there's at least three 19-year-old white boys and a girlfriend or two down there at any given time. 12pm: BOOM BOOM BOOM with the stereo. 9pm: BOOM BOOM BOOM with the stereo. 10:30 pm on a weeknight: BOOM BOOM BOOM, rattle rattle, their five friends and their girls come over in a truck and yell at each other thru windows. ALL hours of the day and night: very noticable wafts of cigarette smoke coming from below. 7pm on a Monday while we're holding FHE with Will's parents: skunky POT SMOKE wafts up into our living room. Just a couple days ago, Will was walking to the bus stop and one of the guys was outside with his girlfriend--completely without provocation, the guy derogatorily called Will a homosexual. Yesterday, we noticed there were tennis shoes dangling from the telephone wire across from our building.

>sigh<

Isn't pot still illegal in Kansas? We complained once to the office of our complex, but that was before the pot. Something tells me if I try to complain to the office again I'll get about as much help as we did last time... "well, we can move you to another building." No, not really, thanks. I would rather live in a place that doesn't allow illegal activity on its premises...but we really can't afford to move, and I don't want to go through the hassle of moving my stuff from apartment to apartment all over the complex.

What Would Grandma Do?
Actually, I remember her telling me a story about when a big family of troublemakers moved in next door to her. She said she started praying every day that they would move away so that she wouldn't have to. I can't remember how long it took, but they did move away in a very short period of time.

Better get prayin'.
