the bad neighbor has loudly announced to the building group chat that they would rather block fiber internet installation to all 36 units indefinitely than allow a technician into their apartment for five minutes, as they have a god-given right to privacy

so how many skeletons do you think we're talking?

multiple replies suggesting it's a sex dungeon and if that's ACTUALLY what they're hung up about that's incredibly funny because we literally live IN AMSTERDAM, THE PUBLIC SEX DUNGEON CAPITAL OF THE WORLD

several months ago, a personal container of cocaine was found in the lobby. I didn't worry/care about whose stupid cocaine it was. But I am now envisioning that the bad neighbor is so defensive because they have an apartment absolutely crammed to the gills with cocaine. so much cocaine that they can't possibly hide it from a 20yo technician who has fifty-seven more apartments to connect today. they'll open the utility closet and be crushed by cocaine

@0xabad1dea surely it'd have to be worse than drugs, right? nobody is gonna bother reporting drugs.

@sdubinsky funny additional lore: Amsterdam runs a public safety announcement about how you should report drug labs in your apartment building because they're prone to exploding.

it was filmed in our building.

the neighbor in question was a pain about it

@0xabad1dea @sdubinsky time to report that person's drug lab?

@Mutedog @0xabad1dea @sdubinsky ...but if there's no evidence and it turns out to be a false accusation, that might potentially open up new legal headaches.

like it might be the case that they really aren't hiding anything; it's just that they're *exceedingly* annoying.

just pro-tier annoying

A mate used to live opposite a drug dealer - lots of visitors, and at very odd hours.

@0xabad1dea My apartment used to be a drug lab.

For a couple months after moving in, I still got angry letters from repo men addressed to a guy who had long since fled the area. Fun!

@kawa @0xabad1dea I, uh, I hope you got a good deal on it. 😬

@0xabad1dea You'd think that he could just throw sheets over anything questionable and claim he's painting. Any suspicious silhouettes under a sheet, add a pillow or teapot or something identifiably "normal".

(I know, I'm making sense or something.)

Maybe a hoarder and embarrassed about it?

@0xabad1dea @sdubinsky Hmm, an obvious, but perhaps unjust, question in that

@0xabad1dea @sdubinsky could the other 35 of you just get together and beat the fuck out of him with giant purple dildos or something?

@0xabad1dea @sdubinsky used to live above a known major drug dealer.

He got nabbed when his tap sprung a leak whilst he was abroad or in the clink, I forget which.

The water company arrived to fix it, forced open the door only to, gosh, discover a stash of guns and a veritable wall of now very wet coke bricks under his sink.

The apartment cleaners told me the water guy looked suspiciously burly and "cop like" and we all suspected some not entirely legal shenanigans took place, but getting rid of that guy outweighed any procedural concerns.
