Asked punk not to smoke near window.
Punk said he'd try, but don't call landlord.
Saw punk smoking by other window, on bench--where he's not supposed to.
Called landlord.
Landlord told punk to move bench away from my bedroom window.
Punk moves bench as near as possible to my window on the original side, the more legal side to smoke, but back to the original place I asked him if he could not smoke so near.
Punk is messing with me.Do I ask punk directly to move the bench further down the pathway...where it would OBVIOUSLY not be so close to me, or...
Assume punk knows he's messing with me and call the landlord again, to tell them that they're making this impossible for me.My entire house reeks of stale cigarettes. I have all the windows closed. I cannot open any windows on the side of the house where they do the most smoking, or I'd literally be smoking with them.
I don't want to talk to them directly, but talking to the landlord might incite them more.
On the other hand, they are doing everything in their power to be as inconsiderate as they can possibly be to me.
There is plenty of room for that bench to be away from my window.
I'll put up with listening to them at 4am every morning, swearing, shouting, co-mingling. I just don't think I should be required to smoke to live here.
Don't make me talk to them directly.
