Fairfax Underground
Welcome to Fairfax Underground, a project site designed to improve communication among residents of Fairfax County, VA. Feel free to post anything Northern Virginia residents would find interesting.
My condo has a parking garage and judging by the 10% increases per year of the condo fee I could have lived without it. I was taking my car in for repair. I take a box of books that I hadn't gotten around to taking to the thrift shop and place on cart I keep in front of car. Use cart to carry bulk items to condo. Not violation of condo rules to have cart. Now i planned to take box up to condo upon my return from gas station. Anyways I return but i forgot about box. i went to condo and took nap. I's get tired easily. Anyways I awake go to front door and find notice with picture of my box threatening me to remove said box or face a meeting before the condo board and fines for not removing said box. geezus shit the box hadn't been there more than 2 hours. I hate this fucking place. the thing is the bitch who's property manager hardly shows up for work. posted office hours are 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. she rarely rolls in before 11 a.m. and is usually out by 1:30 p.m or goes to lunch and never comes back. I'm sure her illegal alien lackey who does little maintainence around the place took the picture of the box. and this was after giving me a big hello a little earlier as I returned from gas station that I was to find out was going to charge me more for brake repair than the effing dealership. The Big Johnsons. I feel better for venting.
I'm thankful that I have the means to have a home that does not share walls with other people. Bonus for not having an HOA! I'm on the hook for more stuff, but I'm also not stuck dealing with some lazy ass manager that shows up when she feels like it.
My kids are loud in the house and they only bother us. When we want it to be quiet, we can make it that way. I have gotten to the point that everybody involved would be miserable if I started sharing walls again.
BTW - gas stations suck for repairs. There are other threads here for repair shops. I recommend AK Auto - across the street from Micro Center.
