Today, after having to call in a noise complaint about my downstairs neighbors talking loud past midnight, the managers fixed the problem. Now all I can hear is two little girls who like to throw a basketball at the building for hours. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I found out my upstairs neighbors filed a noise complaint against me for banging on the ceiling every night. They conveniently left out the part where they constantly stomp, shout, and do stuff that sounds like they're dropping bricks to the floor every night. FML
Today, my neighbors in the apartment above me yet again had a loud fight, well past midnight while I was trying to sleep. I stood on my bed and pounded on the ceiling to shut them up. And now I'll have to explain the two fist-shaped holes in the ceiling to my landlord. FML
Today, I got a noise complaint about "loud stomping" in my apartment disturbing the tenant below. I guess I'm supposed to tell my sweet children that they are no longer allowed to play in their own home. FML
Today, my very very loud upstairs neighbor's children got ahold of athletic whistles. FML
Today, my downstairs neighbours screamed at me for making so much noise that I woke their children up and made them cry. The noise was the sound of a loose floorboard shifting as I crept to my bathroom, and again on my way back to bed. They've sworn to get me evicted. FML
Today, the family upstairs decided to play basketball. Indoors. At 3am. FML
Today, after hearing them stomp around all summer, my upstairs neighbor’s obnoxiously loud kids finally started school. Now I get to hear them get up at 6:30am and stomp around while they get ready. FML
Today, after months of peace and quiet since January, a new family moved into the apartment below me ten minutes before I was about to go to sleep. They've been here for 30 minutes and already they're stomping and banging doors all over the place. FML
Today, I was awoken at 3am by hotel management to tell me they received complaints about me from every room within 30 yards of mine, including from the floors above and below me. What was my crime? Snoring loud enough to rattle windows on the other side of the building. FML
Today, I saw my upstairs neighbor outside getting the mail. She asked how my day was, and then apologized that the sound of her baby's crying through the walls kept me up last night. Apparently she heard me when I yelled at 2am for her fucking demon spawn to shut up. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I know how you feel. All the kids where I live love to just stand in place and bounce a basketball for hours and hours. It's enough to drive you insane. You could always call and complain again so you don't lose your sanity. Good luck OP!

I feel you my upstairs neighbor walks around at all hours like big foot stomping on my ceiling. I would go out and ask the girls if they can play somewhere else. You can always fake a migraine if needed. My last place faced the courtyard where the kids play and I do loved when it rained and they stayed inside. Try seeing if they can noose proof the windows and doors better. Also hanging up curtains helped put a dent in some of the outside noise for me. Good luck OP.

Close your windows and download a white noise app. They help more than you think.

You deserved it for calling and complaining. People are going to live their own lives the way they wish. People keep different schedules. If you don't like it, don't live in an apartment complex.

Most place have noise laws, including apartment complexes. Usually, during the week, it's between the hours off 10pm to 7am and, during the weekend, it's 11pm - 8am, where you have to keep noises levels low and respectable. Alert your landlord/complex manager to this issue is completely understandable.

How is the complaint about the upstairs neighbors and the girls playing basketball related? I don't see the connection.

There's only so much noise a person can handle before it becomes an annoying problem. No one should have to deal with neighbours being noisy past MIDNIGHT or listening to kids play basketball indoors. If you feel the need to tell OP to grow up and deal with UNNECESSARY noise, then there's something wrong with you. Please, grow up and keep your stupid comments to yourself.

*Shouldn't have to listen to kids throwing a ball at the building over and over again. Not indoors.*

*Correcting myself: Shouldn't have to listen to kids throwing a ball at your building over and over again. How would you like it if kids kept throwing a ball at the side of your house all day long? Would you just "shut the window?" and "deal with it?" I don't think so. Grow up.
