A treadmill in an apartment

fyi...this is not our apartment (it looks cute though!)

I'm sorry if you're getting sick about hearing about the treadmill. I know I can't be sick of it...seeing I've used it a total of 4 times in the past 2 weeks that we've had it! It's just that, I feel bad when I use it. We are on the third floor in our apartment building and there are people living under us. I'm not thumping on the treadmill when I use it, but I feel like they can hear everything that we do! I work from 10:30am - 7:00pm, so I have to REALLY motivate myself if I want to use it in the morning. I have energy (most of the time) after work...but here is my question. IS THAT TOO LATE TO USE THE TREADMILL? I mean, in terms of being respectful of others?

I thought this was cute and funny...so I put it on here for you!

One of my pet peeves

In our apartment building, they have guidelines (in the handbook) stating that nothing is to be left outside of your door (in the hallways). This includes garbage, shoes, etc. The second floor seems to have a problem with this rule. As you can see in the pic below, they put ALL of their shoes out there. There has been multiple bags of garbage, huge rugs and MORE! I personally think it looks trashy and makes the building look like garbage. I understand with the snow and all that you wouldn't want wet shoes inside, but you're living here...FOLLOW THE RULES! Put a small rug right inside your door and put your shoes there, for cryin' out loud!

See the difference? This is our floor, it's looks so nice and clean and pretty! That's how it's supposed to look, people!
