Hi,
Began Spring 2008 very early Sunday morning when I was asleep. I live alone (one bedroom condo) and often don't feel well. All through that summer the Cooking Odors only occured when I was not moving about. Then in early Fall of 2008 the female neighbor beneath me (41 does not work) then cooked anytime (24/7) but only when I used my central air conditioning. Unfortunately, the builder put my condenser and hers/husband directly in alinement with their bedroom window. She & he never use their air conditioning. And oddly, she runs her heat (furnace rumbles slightly) even when it's 80 degrees outside; therefore, the duct work we both share, have both furnances running her heat and my A/C concurrently. It would be funny if it weren't so disturbing. So, in February, of 2009, when we had a couple of very warm days, I put on A/C, for health reasons, and sure enough, the Cooking Odors began again in Marathon style; lasting for 4, 5 or 6 hours straight. Cabbage, vinigar and other strong odors. I know there are worse behaviors, but the fact, that it is intentional, in order to stop my A/C usage has turned my life into a disaster. I no longer put my TV on as that disturbed her so much so that she would run around slamming interior doors every 20 minutes or so, but only when the husband was home; that's why it took me over a year to discover it was her doing the loud sudden banging and not him. So, now that I am not allowed to watch television (w/o consequences) she wants the A/C stopped. Believe Me, if I could live w/o the A/C, I would, as I am starving to death, as I have no appetite and can't concentrate on doing my mail (months behind) and feel much sicker now (b/c of their behavior) so I don't clean much and only go out 2 or 3 times a month. I used to go out 2 or 3 times a week and always cleaned and did my laundry, etc. I am 57 years old and she is literally killing Me. I am fighting for my life. To make matters worse - she's teamed up with 2 other female neighbors (one doesn't work either and the other has many days off) and they do stuff to harass me but it's stuff I can tune out. Long story short - after filed complaints (husband accused Me of making loud noices every night & Judge felt sorry for him - Not true) I have severe anxiety and am very sensitive to other peoples' feelings. But because they and (the other female neighbor who doesn't work) were (3) against one - ironically, I am the one who is on Probation, for 9 months. Thank God, both of My parents, are deceased; I am so ashamed, I feel like a criminal. The police and Judge don't understand that 3 women who have no life can and will bully and torment an older victim. Especially, if she is ill, and has no family. I think the fact that I am so misunderstood is what is killing Me. Now I know how a fox feels when a group of dogs and men on big horses corner it. Terrible. I've called church/senior center/many organizantions for direction or guidance and everyone says, "Move." On Internet it says NO state has any laws addressing Adult Bullying. But I'm thinking lately, this is more like stalking, as I can't even get up in the middle of the night for a couple of crackers, without one of the women, clearing her throat, because I woke her up. The condo is a building with a hall and is exactly 15 years old in a very nice area. I can put up with all kinds of normal neighbor noise in a building with 20 units - but when it's intentional - and they want to control My life - it's maddening. I never thought something like this could happen to Me. Never, in my wildest dreams, but it has, and it is. Anyway, the Cooking odors suddendly arise between the range and the refrigerator where there is a small counter. I can't help but wonder (property manager writes that she is not using self-contained exhaust hood) if he drilled a hole in my floor/through his ceiling as it comes over Me very quickly and very strongly if I happen to be standing there. I know I should have had someone check out the area, but I kept thinking she would tire of this nonsense - but she appears to get off on it. If no one believes Me, I wouldn't blame You, as this story seems totally unreal. But I know what I know. I know that I have GI problems, severe anxiety, moderate OCD, etc., but I will go to my grave knowing that I am Not imagining this. It's really, truly, happening and these 3 women don't know (or care) how close I am to Keeeping it together. Thanks, for reading, and I hope that maybe, I've comforted someone else who's not feeling well and being tormented by a vicious neighbor(s). P.S. the other 2 women are east & west of Me - so I'm pretty much surrounded. And moving is not possible as I've already made inquires into nursing homes; but they don't want Me b/c I am only 57 and average age is 87 but I feel like 87 and weigh about only 100 pounds.
