So I think we should switch apartments. You'd sleep perfectly here. It's as dead as a cemetary during the morning/afternoon. All the fireworks, booming-bass cars, domestic disturbances, etc. happen after 10 pm. In fact, instead of winding it down at 10, they start it up, but not on Friday and Saturday nights like normal people. No, it's always a Tuesday or Sunday, or some other weeknight. Oh, and if I didn't occasionally physically SEE my downstairs neighbor, I'd doubt her existence. Same goes for the one who shares the bedroom wall.

So, how about it? *goes to closet to get packing boxes*

Here I am!

I'm pretty tempted here.....

I'm by no means a crazy fool who will kick and scream at any slight noise.....it's my neighbors raving hypocrisy that makes me so angry about the noises. I mean, sleeping during the day for a few years now, I'm used to lawn mowers, snow blowers, daytime noises.....but the door slamming, the cupboard thumping, the stomping around....especially when I'm pretty sure it's done intentionally and with zero consideration for my comfort and peace......when I am forbidden to make a peep after dark, or I'll get it the next day when I try to sleep......ugh.

Are you sure you want to deal with a stalker neighbor, beyond just angry, bitter elderly and middle aged neighbors who throw a fit when you have a guest over at night? (despite the fact that the elderly neighbors have company over all day every day, their friends park in other tenants' spots, and all they do all day is sit outside and laugh and squack and smoke, and the other asshole neighbor is a massive introvert who obviously would rather throw a fit about his young neighbor having friends and relationships other than getting out of his apartment once in a while and meeting someone).

Oh Blas. I'll have to come over and give them something to bitch about to me.

And then when they make noises when you sleep, I'll bitch them out.

Sound good?

Well, tonight there's yelling and screamig 2 doors down. It's now 1:20 am and if it keeps up the authorities are getting a call. Yes, I'm the neighborhood lady who does that--just try me, guys.

[AccountingDrone]

I should come for a visit ... amazing how the noise complaints end when I come to the door and they see a gimp on canadian crutches

I would love to stump around on my sticks all night to help you annoy the neighbors. heck, I can always rent a scooter and drive it around the living room all night

[KiaKat]

Just wanted to say that all of you are making me appreciate my neighbourhood that much more. Even with the Evil Neighbours next door.

Part of that, though is my living on a street that ends in a T-intersection on one side, and turns into a dead end on the other, past that intersection. So we don't get through traffic, and the street isn't long enough for anyone to get up good speed on. Add in the hard-working-immigrant population, and it makes for a nice place.

Though I could still do without the Evil Neighbours. They've been somewhat quiet the last couple months, but I haven't parked my car in the driveway, either. So who knows what's been keeping them restricted to only the smoking and spitting.

McG, whenever you're ready, I'm ready.

Seriously, if you stayed and I was sleeping during the day and Old Witch was stomping around and slamming things around downstairs, I'd probably die of laughter if you stomped downstairs and bitched at her "Hey, she's sleeping up there. Do you not care about that? Of course not, you only care that she stays quiet for YOU at night!"

Or when crazy outdoorsman comes home and starts screaming at the TV when sports are on. I am really, really not looking forward to football season. Yes, he is one of those Packer screamers.

You have more patience than I. I called the moment the noise ordinance kicked in. I love living out in the middle of nowhere, now!

[Tanasi]

Yes, he is one of those Packer screamers.

Buy him a box of exlax, two rolls of TP and bottle of lube. That ought to quite him down.

[blas]

I have a feeling that would make the screaming even louder. I imagine if he gets that riled up over the Packers throwing another interception, he probably shits a brick over the hershey squirts!

In all honesty, I have nothing against people who phone the landlord or the police over excessive, loud noises at inappropriate times, especially at night. Granted, I have no leverage because what's inappropriate to me is what's normal for everyone else, but I feel for anyone who has to deal with Jerry Springer action and loud vehicles after dark. And you go right ahead and get something done about it.

But then again, you're reasonable. My neighbors are not. Excessive, loud noise to them is my boyfriend and I coming home late at night, creeping up the stairs, quietly shutting the door, and watching movies.....me not going to bed at 8 pm and just me still being awake and young and having a social life *sigh*.

[Dave1982]

Pardon me for being gross, but I don't think those two things are possible to do at the same time.

Oh yes they are! All you need is a GI tract that only likes to operate at two transport speeds: zero and supersonic.

You know, the stuff in these threads are why I refused to live in a multi-family unit ever again. I love my house. Everything is quiet no matter what time it is. Well, once I moved my bedroom to the side of the house away from the family with a dog and two young kids.

Oh trust me, this coming spring I'm going to be looking into duplexes or houses for rent, as I don't think I quite qualify yet for owning my own place.

A duplex or a triplex or a townhouse can still have the same risks for sucky neighbors, but in my opinion, it can't be any worse than the multiple sucky neighbors that I have living way too close to me.

Check with a local bank. I got my down payment paid and a rockin' interest rate with a first time homeowner's program. And my credit SUCKED, and I was able to get a house. I'm only paying $100 more in mortgage than I was in rent.
