Apparently my grilling exploits have attracted some attention. A memo in the co-op elevator scolds about the communal grills being "dominated" by certain residents. I've used the grill three times -- twice for large cuts of meat, and during off hours. I've shared it twice; once no one was on the roof except someone who chastised me for using it for several hours... just in case someone else might want to. Which they didn't.

The rules are fine. Treating neighbors like children and assuming they're incapable of sharing or compromising amongst themselves isn't.

But the upside is that I totally love the idea of being known as the Barbeque Dominatrix.
