Who do you think takes that mattress downstairs? Magical fairies? No!! Some poor cleaning lady who already has enough to do without having to haul your garbage down an elevator and into a dumpster.

Hey! You!

Stop leaving all of your trash in the hallway!!

How many times do I have to say something? How many notes must I leave?! Didn’t your mother teach you anything?!?

The garbage room has a chute for a reason. It’s not just decoration. If your garbage is too big for the chute, take it to the dumpster behind our apartment building.

Who do you think takes that mattress downstairs? Or that broken dresser? Or those bags of old clothes? Or that pizza box? Magical fairies? No!! Some poor cleaning lady who already has enough to do without having to haul your garbage down an elevator and into a dumpster. Just stop it! Stop it this instant!!

I know you are busy. I’m busy too. But think about the rest of us. All of the other apartments on our floor. Think about how your careless disregard affects us, as we bring guests to our homes, or walk through a smelly, dirty hallway.

Think about yourself too. Garbage attracts bugs. Do you like cockroaches? I sure don’t. I hate them, and do everything I can to avoid them. Why are you trying to attract creepy crawlies? Do you just hate hygene?!?

Stop leaving garbage in the hallway. This is our home, until I can finally move out of this pig sty. Please keep it (relatively) clean.

Thank you.
