Can you blame this person?
This poor soul's rant on Craigslist shows how easy it is to get apartment rage when the conditions are right. In this case it's his/her apartment building being loaded with absolute nobodies going absolutely no where but back west when they can't squeeze one more drop out of a PBR, or when it finally sinks in that finger painting is an excellent career choice for a 5 year old, or when you're sweating on stage playing your out of tune instrument in some moldy dive bar, that the only thing you're good at is sweating. Oh one more thing hipster, you didn't invent partying hard or partying at all for that matter, you didn't invent throwing up and passing out while loud music is in the background. You actually have not invented anything yet but a way to destroy an amazing place called New York City. Just go back and re-invade your home states and be unproductive, ironic, pseudo-everything young adults over there.
Seriously, that's all we ask.
For the love of god, neighbors, stop. Just stop. (Greenpoint)

Woman across the hall: Face it, already, you are not a musician. Nothing is working out — not the guitar, not the keyboard, not the bongos, and certainly not the drum kit. A drum kit? In your apartment? Really? If I hear one more warbling, weird, bad imitation of Bjork note of your "singing," I'm going to choke you with your stupid depoliticized keffiyeh.
Randoms (you know who you are): Learn how to recycle! Stop spilling trash all over the stoop, what is wrong with you?? That includes all your mail that you leave for weeks piling up on the floor near the front door. Speaking of the door, try keeping it shut once in a while, let alone locked.
Downstairs people with the backyard access: OKAY. We get it: You're cool! Can you stop hosting endless summer hipster music parties in the backyard now? it's great that you make use of the outdoor space. But raising a small tent and packing every skinny-jean-wearing, Bright Eyes-wannabe into the yard to rock out all day and not even telling anyone in the building about this plan really sucked.
Finally, to the guy with the glazed-over eyes on the second floor: Just because you think you've 'done business" with the landlord before doesn't mean he's not going to fuck you over. Get over yourself, and do something to protect yourself and other tenants in the building.
Hipsters and 20-somethings who think they are artists are driving me crazy!

Ya know, it sounds like actually saying this to them (perhaps phrased a bit differently) wouldn't be a bad idea.
