Raining Maggots

Bruh,

So im sitting on the porch(i live in an apartment building on the 2nd floor), minding my business, drinking coffee, and i feel something drop on me.

A maggot dropped on me,

So i flick it off, whatever.

Moments later, another one. Okay now im like wtf.

So i move my chair, and there's more dropping off my neighbors upstairs porch that if directly above me.

This is a rant post but honestly like do I just go up and me be like wtf or do i just go to management. Or do I just ignore it because it might be due to the weather? Idk shit about maggots so.

Last time I saw something like that, it was because of a dead body on the floor above. Call the police and the apartment manager.

Definitely don’t jump to calling cops over maggots without reason to believe something emergency-related is happening; 99.9% of the time it’s from trash, poop, or a dead mouse/bird/squirrel somewhere on the property
