Miscellaneous: Quiet

Quiet

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

Today, after my old downstairs neighbor, who would come upstairs to bang on my door and yell at me every time she heard a sound from me at all times of the day, had finally moved out, it became clear that my new downstairs neighbor gets drunk and yells at the TV in the early hours of the morning.

Today, after 3 days of interrupted sleep, I confronted my new neighbor about the noise his wife keeps making during their "private time". He then let me know the noise is actually from his daughter, who's mentally disabled and isn't taking the move well. FML

Make it stop

Today, I met my new upstairs neighbors. They have a four-month-old child and appear to be firm believers in the "let them cry it out" philosophy. The baby's room is right above mine. A few days of trying to sleep through this shit and I'll look like a Walking Dead extra. 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, 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

Good night, sleep tight

Today, I was trying to fall asleep. Unfortunately, my next-door neighbor's baby began to cry. I closed the window and rolled over, unable to hear the crying anymore. My dog's hearing is better than mine, and so he started barking. Goodbye, good night's sleep. FML

Today, the only thing my downstairs neighbor wanted to talk about with me is how she can hear us go to the bathroom. She also claims that she can tell which one of us is going, based on the noise level. FML

Today, my crackhead neighbour got slightly annoyed at my 2-day-old daughter's late-night wailing. Well, I think so, anyway, as she politely requested us to "SHUT THAT CUNT KID UP." or she would "BLOW BOTH OUR HOUSES UP, YOU FUCKING ASSFUCKS." But I'm not 100% sure. 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, I live on the second floor and my neighbor from below banged on my door, telling me I sounded like a giant elephant and needed to learn to be quiet. I was eating ice cream in bed. I also live alone. FML

I don't get why people are voting ydi, and calling op a jerk. I'm sure op didn't actually mean "demon spawn". If YOU were kept up until 2am by a crying baby, I'm sure you would say something rude that you didn't mean either. Op is not a total jackass just because he/she lost control, and said one rude thing.

I think it has more to do with the comments like "parents are stupid and deserve this" from unknowing children, vs the actual thing. Because saying that is really offensive and definitely starts up some arguments. I understand that they were tired and I've done that too, I do it alot. I think some people are just being rude ad piasing others off. Or at least for part of the vote

I can be a bitch like OP as well, no passive aggressiveness here. Thank god she doesn't live near me. If anyone ever said anything like that about my child, OP would be punched out. Come to me and let me know politely and that's different and I would try to make my child be quiet. I had a bitch of a neighbour once and thank god she was only rude once before she was put in her place.

If OP could hear the baby crying. . . .why would she think they wouldn't hear her yelling at it?

Babies cry and dogs bark. If you can't handle that, go live in the middle of a desert. No one will bother you there.

I can't believe how inconsiderate the OP is. I can imagine this poor lady trying to put her little one to sleep, but the baby won't fall asleep no matter what she does. To have some asshole neighbor yell about it is not helping the situation. The victim isn't you, OP. If you don't feel like shit after this, then you are without humanity. Oh, wait, maybe the "demon" baby has no humanity. Douche.

People saying YDI obviously have never been in such a situation. I can guarantee that if you were in their situation, you'd do something similar. When you're tired, you're cranky, it's bound to happen. Get over yourselves, you're not fricken saints. I do have to say, it was a pretty silly assumption to think they wouldn't hear you shouting when you could hear the baby crying - then again, I doubt you even thought about it at the time. It sucks. Get some noise cancelling ear muffs or something to try and block out the noise. Or move.

Wow that was really rude of you. Great way to get along with your neighbor. Babies cry get over it.

Babies cry. That's what they do, as it's their only form of communication for many months. Yelling at the parents really doesn't help the situation. Please don't breed before learning some patience.

I remember being in an identical situation. Instead of yelling, I thought smugly to myself about how glad I was that I didn't have to console a screaming kid at 3am. And then I went back to sleep.
