Our home = toilet?

When living in Athens we had a bag lady living at the entrance door to our apartment complex.  Her home was the actual doorway. As she had no toilet she sat down between parked cars in the street and made number 1 and number 2. She later on invited another lady so then we had two bag ladies living at the entrance of our house. Inside the house the landlord adopted stray dogs. These stray dogs urinated on the elevator floor and just outside our door. So before going out of our apartment we had to check that there was no pool of urine before we stepped out. I am glad my mother did not come for a visit as she would have wondered how I could live like this. Not to mention when the garbage collectors were on strike....I am REALLY happy I do not live like this anymore.
