Squatter's Rights...Oh Squatter's Rights, how we mis-use you.
So I had this lovely squat. Aside from the small of light mold and cat pee, its a really nice place. However I didnt want to stay there by myself. My friends talk to me about how much they appreciated my taking them to my house and that they will show me nothing but respect....I get just the opposite.
So I take them in and I tell them my ground rules, so that we are not disturbing the neighbors or letting the world know we are there. I say use your squat voice and be light on your feet. All I get is Booming voices and someone scraping glass across the floor using a pice of cardboard. When I tell him to sweep quieter he takes a tone with me with his booming voince about how it is impossible to sweep quietly....i wanted to tell him to get the fuck out right then and there. He is soooooo lucky I like his girlfriend.
Second rule is that I dont want them bringing friends over. And all I hear is...Squatters Rights! The squat belongs to everyone so you cant tell us that we cant have friends over....I believe that I can....I got this squat and if they dont like it they can be considerate of my space and go crack their own house. There is a whole neighborhood of them.
Third rule I layed out, No Drinking At The Squat. Plain and simple. These kids drink to get rowdey so they can drink elsewhere. This house is to sleep in safely not get drunk and get the cops called. As it is a whole squat neighborhood the neighbors would most deffinately not be happy. But once again Squatters Rights shoved in my face!...This is a squat and this is what you do in a squat you bring friends over and you get drunk and get rowdey....
What a load of shit.
What Squatters Rights means to me is a sense of security. Knowing that I am safe and taken care of in a sense. For these kids to exploit it the way they are is rediculous and makes me a little ashamed to be a squatter. I do not want to be ranked with these people. Treating squatters rights as if it is an easy way off the hook.
You cant walk up to your boss and cuss him out and thinks its okay because of freedom of speech.
