Random Sucky Neighbor Thoughts

[Food Lady]

Yeah, there's a dark-haired guy and a blondish gal and a kid that't there sometimes and a blondish dude who comes by with a car seat and knocks. So people in and out. I'm sure at least one works but since each only has to pay $300 it's probably part-time or service industry with odd hours. I'm just angry at the end of a long weekend of this stuff, you know? It's not just them but loud cars in the parking lot. I can't complain to management about that because hey, I've been the person who needed an exhaust repair and couldn't afford it. It still disturbs me. The one good thing about the door slamming: I know when someone's leaving and I can turn off my energy sucking fan. *sigh*

FL:

Is there more than one resident of that apartment? It's possible there's two people (or more) living there, and that's why it seems like someone is always home -- because they are.

It's also possible that, if that's a Section 8 unit, that they aren't working and therefore can be there all the time.

I'm convinced you people don't work. You do quiet down at 10:00 or 11:00 which would make it seem like you do, have to work the next day. But then when I'm home on flex time I hear you not being at work. It's not because you're one of those people in the service industry who has some weekdays off because then you'd be working weekends. And I *know* you're in and out every hour on weekends, apparently not being at work. I feel like your job is to annoy me with door slamming and bass whenever I'm home. I can't get any peace here. You're intrusive and it's hours at a time until you SLAM the door on the way out to whatever it is you do outside the house. I have no problem with Section 8 but I do have a problem with how some people on it act. I don't know if that's you but I do know you sure do have a lot of time to go in and out and bug me when you're here.

To the neighbors a few houses down -

I really hate to come off sounding like one of "those" people, and it's not that parties bother me, but......was it REALLY necessary to have people in your house screaming/making noise so loudly that it sounded like teenage girls at a One Direction concert? Not to mention setting off firecrackers every ten minutes......and this was several hours away from midnight.

It's utterly ridiculous. I thought the next door tenants were going to be cool but someone's playing bass--the actual instrument--and I have, in the middle of December when it's 0°F out, a large floor fan running on highest power against that wall to cancel it out.

Your problems with your neighbors remind me of the problems my co-worker had with her upstairs neighbors for years.

This couple was VERY old. In their 90's. Almost every night, there would be all kinds of stomping and walking around going on, and my CW could not sleep in her bedroom. She would end up sleeping on her sofa, where she couldn't hear the noise as much.

We could never figure out what the hell two 90+ year olds were doing to make so much noise. Of course, after the man passed away, the old lady stayed there alone, and she was the one whose toilet overflowed more than a dozen times, into my CW's apartment.

Are you moving furniture?? It's past 10:00 pm. I am so frustrated that I don't qualify for those concrete-floored apartments I want to move into.

Are you making announcements over a loudspeaker over there?? That's it; I'm making a paper trail. I'm documenting times and dates. I know you are quiet after 10:00 pm but you can't have a show or band practice in a unit that borders 3 others. I've gotten a business shut down. Are you trying to be evicted?

If they ever had to be silent to save their lives, they would be dead within three seconds.

This part is making me so hard I'm crying. Thank you, MC; I need to laugh today.

They must be related to the Warts, my next door neighbors. These people come outside at all times of the day or night, no matter what the weather is, and in the process SLAM the inner door and SLAM the outer door.

When they arrive in their car, for some reason unknown to gods or men, four people find the need to SLAM car doors 7 or 8 times. Also, when they go shopping, they come back, take the bags into the house, go back into the car and leave. A little while later, they come back, take the bags into the house, and leave again. I have never seen anyone who needs to go to several different stores come back home in between each store.

They slam the house doors constantly, be it 7 am or 2 pm or 3:30 am. I am convinced that they chose to buy the storm door precisely because of the noise it makes when it slams. If they ever had to be silent to save their lives, they would be dead within three seconds.

For the love of all that is holy pleeeeaase STOP SLAMMING THE DOOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is eleven forty-five p.m. You have been doing this for a half hour. Why do you need to go outside and come back in and go back outside 10 minutes later?? I *know* it's not to take the trash out because your trash bag lays there in front of your door for days on end. I'm not in bed yet but what if I was? I'm sure your neighbor downstairs does not appreciate it any more than I do. I can close the door without slamming it. I know you can but you choose to act like an 8-year-old.

This is turning into Silence of the Lambs. It turns on the bass and gets the fan again. I have a big floor fan that tilts. The rim is against the shared wall and the fan on high. I can make vibrations, too.

This is the bizarre method by which they are slowly driving me insane:

--I get up--no matter what time or day--to peace, until 10 minutes later when the bass kicks in. I feel like they hear me come into my living room or something.
--I turn on the fan against the wall and make my coffee.
--Maybe 15 minutes later the bass is off so I turn off my fan so as not to waste energy. Plus, I prefer quiet. Sometimes the music being turned off is followed by someone leaving and slamming the door in the process. But I tend to get a quiet half hour until
--The bass goes back on again, sometimes preceded by a door slam as someone comes back in.

Wash, rinse, repeat. This happens on Saturdays. It happens on weekdays when I have purposely taken time off work. It happens in the mornings before I go to work. Sometimes it happens in the evening. Why are these people inandoutinandoutinandoutinandout like cats??

Actually, they're upstairs. Annoying. Oh, well, it's only happened the once.

I'd love to believe they were clearing up to move, but I doubt it . . .

Do you live next to jobless insomniacs? I just bought a vacuum but I promise I'm waiting until tomorrow to use it!
