My new neighbor is crazy... she just moved in and so far has emailed me 18 times to "report" on "issues" in our building... (I am unfortunately on the condo board and met her when she moved in and to be nice gave her my email). This morning she emailed me to tell me she thought the "plantings in front of our building look a little shabby so she'd like to go to the nursery and pick out some new plants, but will need help putting them in and she thinks I should help her". I want/need to reply that the bldg has a gardener - oh, and i WOH fulltime - but don't know how to do without being snarky [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

dear so-and-so, it seems like you have a lot of great ideas about ways we can improve the building. is it possible for you to put all your ideas together in one email and i can forward it to the people in the building who can address them. [ Reply | More

it's nice b/c it lets her know to condense emails and also gives her the impression that you can't do anything about it so maybe she'll stop emailing you. worth a shot. [ Reply | More

You are me! I was wondering if all small condo bldgs are as crazy as ours seems to be. You have my sympathies, but no great ideas. We are taking the passive-aggressive approach, and ignoring or taking forever to answer the e-mails. I have found that people are much more demanding and nasty on e-mails, but are too chicken to talk to you in person about condo issues. [ Reply | More
