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
When the leaves fall, the laughter rises. Discover autumn stories as crisp as dried leaves!
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.

Explain to the neighbors that it's not you playing the music and tell the others that you need to study and ask then to stop playing music. Problem solved.

Has no one gone down to ask them to stop? They don't know they are bothering you unless you inform them. Now, if you have asked them to stop, I suggest calling your landlord!

Right!!! My old neighbour used to call the cops on my dad for his drum playing (even though its electric so he'd use headphones) without even a word to us. It was so annoying.

That's not cool. HOWEVER, I had a situation once where my neighbors a few houses down were blaring music in the middle of the night, and I went over to ask them to stop. One of the girls was ****** up on crack, mistook me for someone else and started a fight with me and tried to beat me up. I had to call the cops after, and they told me never to confront people, and straight up just call in a noise complaint. I've been scared ever since and now I just call the cops :/

On both of your tests, write a long rambling essay about the awesome battle of the bands contest you attended against your will. Your teachers will think you are nuts and give you about a B+ to keep you from going on a shooting rampage against them. Now, that solves your problem!

If she's Asian, a B+ might just start the rampage...

Not unless they're math related exams!

Music is mathematical. I'm sure OP can mix it in some how ;)

Blast the stereo then leave.

Explain to next door it's not you, use evidence if needs be. Then form a posse and tell the ass hat's downstairs to at least tone it down. Strength in numbers my friend.

I congratulate you good sir. I'm from South Texas, yet have never seen/heard anyone use the word posse correctly until now.

I have, but i lived in college cities since i moved from CO in '09. I just moved from Austin TX to Corpus Christi TX, what part of the south are you in that THAT word gets misused?

Talking to each neighbor might help. Invite the upstairs neighbor into your home to show them it's not you, but rather the downstairs neighbor. Then maybe both of you can go together to politely speak to the culprit. If that doesn't work and you're in an apartment, talk to the landlord. Good luck! I hate when neighbors don't care about the other people around them.

This is exactly what I would do. Library's actually make it harder for me to focus plus a lot of the time it cost money to use the computers/printers and who knows how close to the nearest library is or isn't.

Was the music at least decent :P? Green Day or something :)? If it was One Direction or Justin Bieber id just jump out your apartment and save my ears the torture :L

Green day is not decent music.
akiahara 14
Green Day is just as bad.
daniel_dd31 13
Wait... since when is green day considered decent music?
zombieslayer83 19
Green Day has always been great music! I'll get buried, but it's the truth!

I hope it's good music.

I live in an apartment and my upstairs neighbours are SO ingnorant. Blasting music at 6 am although we have a no noise policy before 9am, they also slam doors and their dog barks non stop.
akiahara 14
Inconsiderate, not ignorant.

I do not see why you are getting thumbed down. I think your correction is correct.
gracehi 31
They could ALSO be ignorant...ignorant of social norms and common courtesy, that is.
