Viewed a studio apartment today. Excellent location, renovated, great price, back of the building. But it was sandwiched between the stairwell and the garbage chute. Is this a deal breaker? It’s on a lower floor of a high rise so assuming lots of ppl would be dropping their stuff down the chute.

Don't do it if you're sensitive to those types of sounds. You'll hear doors slamming in the stairwell and the garbage chute.

I agree it is an elevator building so not concerned about the stairwell sound. Just concerned about people dropping glass things down the chute at 3 in the morning

How many units on the floor? That should help determine how many peoples trash you’re dealing with (lol). My door is next to the chute but I very rarely hear people dropping stuff in.

Around 12 units per floor. But it is on a lower floor of a ~25 floor building so more concerned about ppl dropping shit from the top! Can you hear stuff travelling down the building?

Can you visit again and see whether you can hear the noise inside the apartment? Maybe you can’t even hear it. Otherwise, best to move on. If you’re worried about it, you obviously care about the noise. My most recent apt was next to the elevator and while I’m pretty noise sensitive, it wasn’t an issue at all.

My last apartment was next to the garbage chute and I never heard anything from it. There was a closet and a hallway on the wall closest to the chute though.

Lucky! I just remembered that I took a video during the tour and rewatched it with sound. Unfortunately it made a pretty loud sound so I’m going to have to pass.

I live next to the chute, the sound is a minor inconvenience that I rarely hear over the TV, but walking three feet with an overflowing recycle bin and a heavy garbage bag make it totally worth it

Hi folks, I recently applied for a new role in EMEA for a Specialist Solutions Architect. Got through n received an offer letter. But seems like the base is a bit lower than what i saw online in a couple of places (not sure of years of experience there though). Is it worth it to bring it up and ask the HM to raise an exception? How much time will this take? Is it a risk? Already the entire process has dragged on cause of delays on recruitment's part etc. Any advice or insight would be helpful!

I've been dating this girl for 9mo and dtr'ed 5mo ago. She hides me from her family. For ex, we had plans for me to go to her place but something popped up and her brother was there to help.

Same thing for when her parents decide to stop by and I'm at her place, I have to leave immediately. Is it a red flag or is it still too early?
