I don't generally have a problem with people smoking. Which is just as well since I do live with a smoker. The smell of cigarette smoke doesn't usually bother me.
But I don't know what the fuck the arseholes downstairs are smoking (no, not THAT. I know what that smells like), but I have had to close my bedroom window because I am being kept awake for two reasons:
1) My room is currently rank with the most hideous smell alive. I've had to get out of there because I felt like I was being suffocated.
2) It's 3 o'clock in the fucking morning. Have some fucking consideration for the people who live directly above you and SHUT THE FUCK UP! You're not even having an interesting conversation!
Tonight was supposed to be the first night in a week where I can have a decent night sleep because I don't feel ill. But apparently that is not going to happen thanks to the little fucktards downstairs.
It is also a perfectly pleasant night after a few nights of cold weather. So the window was open letting in air. But no. I've had to close it.
I know that living in an apartment block means that you have to deal with noise and other occasional unpleasantness. The people upstairs sound like they're moving furniture all the time. People take their screaming kids into the pool with them (right outside our balcony). A few of the other apartments are short-term lease deals so there are generally drunk dickheads hanging about on the weekend. Garbage trucks at 2:30 in the morning emptying industrial bins. All this I can deal with. But this is taking it to a whole new level. I cannot deal with feeling like I am slowly suffocating in my own home.
And now as I type this, I can hear that they've moved to the large patio area. Which means the smell is starting to permeate the loungeroom. Just fucking great.

are they smoking cigars? they smell a whole lot worse than cigarettes
I hope you get some rest x
I think it may have been. I know they smell worse but I've never had the pleasure.
Having said that, the smell was a dry, cloying smell, complete with industrial undertone.
It gave me a headache and I eventually threw up.
This is not good. Inconsiderate neighbours give me the shits (well, duh! Of course they do!).
Let your landlord/real estate know ASAP. Get a doctor's certificate if you're sick again. The lease contract should specify that you have a right to live in peace and comfort -- find the clause and point out that the contract is not being adhered to.
If all else fails, contact a local residential legal advice community legal centre, or something similar. I worked briefly at one of these places. Any more questions, please don't hesitate to email me general.bron AT gmail DOT com
I hope it gets solved soon. You not be getting headaches and throwing up, it goes without saying.
I'm hoping it's a one-off thing. I'm not completely certain, but I think downstairs may be another of the short-term lease apartments.
No lease :-O But that's OK. I know the landlord and where he lives and if need be can stalk him. ;-D In fact, it is entirely possible he is reading this *waves*.
You're such a blogger! Blogging this as it practically happens!
What about a pedestal fan pointing at the window. Would that drive the smoke away?
It's pathetic, isn't it? Still, I needed an immediate outlet for my pissed-off brain.
No fans about the place. Like I said, I'll just see what happens in the future.
Man I would be so pissed off... I find it so offensive and intrusive when someone smokes outside our place and it blows straight in... thankfully it doesn't happen so much now that we don't have a smoking flatmate and none of our immediate neighbours regularly smoke cigarettes, but you shouldn't have to feel like that in your own place. I've read about cases in New York where smokers have been compelled to take measures to stop their smoke going into their neighbours' apartments, but I'm not sure if I've read about anything similar happening here... Bron sounds like a useful person to talk to if it happens again, though!
ah the smell of cigarettes just piss me off, they smell like smouldering road tar (well they are really).
Smoking hooter at least gets you off your nut, what do cigarettes do for you? except make you stink like an ashtray, cost a fortune, yellow your teeth (eventually making them drop out of your head altogether), yellow your fingers and hair and end the wretched existance of the sad pathetic butt-sucker a few decades prematurely.
Oh yeah that's right, smoking also lines the coffers of souless tobacco multi-nationals giving power and influence to the wicked, the corrupt and the downright evil.
Good habit that one, way to express your "individuality". Might as well just microwave a cat, it probably smells about the same and in terms of karmic defeceit it's probably about on par.
If they're smoking something illegal just feed them to the pigs.
You know how paranoid druggies get when the pigs start knocking on the door to their shooting galleries and crack hovels.
