Today, the people living below me have been blasting their music so loudly that I can hear every word as clear as day. The people next door think it's my music and feel the need to bang on the wall and blast their music just as loudly in revenge. I have two very important exams tomorrow. FML

Autumn: Leaves and Laughter

Today, I can't any peace and quiet in any room of my flat. The neighbours on one side are arguing, the other side are having very loud sex, the ones upstairs I suspect are playing some sort of games console, and downstairs daughter has been practising her violin badly all morning. FML
Today, I tried to study for my upcoming engineering exam. The class I’m in is notorious for being incredibly difficult and is oftentimes the reason for people dropping out of the major. Too bad the dudes in the apartment next to me have a subwoofer and keep playing music that has way too much bass. FML
Today, I had to study for an important test but I could barely focus because my roommate had his music blasting at full volume. Since we get along well, I decided to put up with it. I just found out he forgot to turn it off and left over 6 hours ago. FML
Today, I'm trying to study for my finals, but some local school is having an event nearby, and has decided to make life hell by playing "Magic In The Air" at full volume while some woman screams into a mic. I'm dying. The entire neighbourhood can hear their damn sports day. FML
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 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, 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, to make my dorm neighbours think I'm popular, I blasted music and screamed at the top of my lungs so it sounded like I was having a party. My residence manager slapped me with a noise violation, and demanded to come in to make sure we weren't drinking. I had to explain why I was by myself. FML
Today, I finally had some alone time to relax and watch a movie. As soon as I pressed play, my neighbor started blasting their music so loud I could feel the bass in my chest. I tried calling the landlord, but they didn't answer. I ended up watching the movie with subtitles while listening to my neighbor's music. FML
Today, I was blaring the radio to drown out the sound of the kids in the apartment upstairs. They then started jumping in time with the music. FML

Communication is key. Just simply go talk to both neighbors calmly.

Sound-cancelling headphones. Best investment you'll ever make.

Or try to find somewhere else to study.
uhhSavage 22
I don't think OP should have to leave their home to get some peace and quiet. Like 1 said, communication is key.

Shouldn't have to but may need to
gracehi 31
**** talking. I shouldn't have to leave my home to confront an ass hole because they're doing their ass hole thing. Call the cops!

I heard the library was a good place to study

What 1 said. Geez why can't people use their words?
SuperKnuckels 6
If they're blasting music so loud, how will OP communicate with them.
zombieslayer83 19
I would wait until about 3 am, and then start blasting the most obnoxious song I had. That is how you communicate.
Jaszzie 6
But then you're not making the situation intresting! :/
ballbearing 10
Except it has hours which do not always coincide with when you want to study.
packrat 26
I have personally found that communicating not-so-calmly at 2 in the morning also has the desired results...
n_epic_fail 14
Start blasting the "My little pony" theme song and then leave... For 6 hours. Come back, turn it off and go to bed like nothing ever happened.
SomeDeadRabbits 8
But there's always the possibility that OP is too lazy to get up and march up and down their apartment.
kittykat1501 31
4 OP is probably worried about sleep, too
FweakofCydonia 40
OP will make a song of course! With him rapping about terrible both neighbours are!
Keevarou 17
And this is why you should visit your neighbors to show them that its not you that's at fault. And for lost sleep, there are always extra studying though, it's probably going to be fine :and you could always try to explain your situation

Plug your headphones in and go on simplynoise.com

53 - I share your caution, so I checked it out. It's available as a free download from cnet. Thanks, #3.

Some people (like me) can't concentrate with headphones on. I prefer having a boom-box or radio, but that wouldn't work either in this case.
Vanillanougat 14
Fair enough.
Fsvb 32
That should not be necessary in your own home. Just asking them to stop should be enough... I hope so for OP. I've got a similar situation here, but I'm to scared to go talk T_T
oj101 33
I hope that the people below you at least had the common decency to not play Nicki Minaj or Justin Beiber.
oj101 33
Oh crap. I didn't realise it at the time of writing, but now I'll have to defend myself from a flood of comments from hormonal tween girls defending their "Beiber fiever"
Shrike 23
Sure you didn't...
Pretty_reckless_fml 18
Or goddamn one direction D: oh hell no!
bestnameright 14
15- why would he even lie about that?
Looee 20
*Bieber.. Sorry, I had to
Freethaawave 19
13- Lol doubt it anyone on here says there for bieber and they get thumbed down to hell haha so I don't think you'll have to defend yourself.
ramseytt69 8
Haha, you bring them into this equation? Must be important to mention them.. Nicki Minaj is the Queen and JB getting money.
evilplatypus 38
58 - Hitler was a ruler and he made pretty good money...your point?

#99- You a stupid hoe.
zepher93 7
101- Unnecessary. Not everyone has to agree with your taste in music. Don't call a woman a hoe for stating an opinion.
joshiepo0 18
Omg how dare you insult the best singer alive like seriously he is just so amazing. You're just jealous you aren't him so don't be like trying to put him down. -______-
asleepingbear 8
Go to a library?
SirWTF 10
I second that. Even though studying at home is best, it doesn't seem like OP has the luxury of wasting time building bridges between his neighbors.
GingerNinja7 17
Noise canceling headphones?
kumonsucks 7
Go to your next door neighbour and explain and go downstairs and tell them to pipe it down
akiahara 14
Is it at least decent music? I'll second the call for noise cancelling headphones. A wise investment.
hellbilly205 17
I don't think it's decent music if they put it as an FML...
hryffff 11
Go to the library, problem solved
