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

To all you saying it's not the babies or the parents fault if it's crying at all hours, what if someone had a dog that wouldn't shut up? It's not the dogs fault, it's just being a dog and you can't always get them to shut up, yet I bet you'd still complain to your landlord if you lived in an apartment block and someones dogs was howling at 2am.

You're joking, right? Any well trained dog will hush when it's owner tells it to. I have 2 breeds who are known for barking (smooth collie) and bawling (bluetick coonhound). The coonhound is just a pup and all I have to say is "enough" in a firm voice and they both shut their traps and bounce over to me for the treat they get when they obey. It took about a week to teach him when it is acceptable to bawl and when it is not. 2 am is NEVER acceptable so YES I would complain to my landlord if someone's dog was howling at 2 am. The exception would be if there was an intruder or something abnormal going on. Please don't get a dog. It will walk all over you.

You just proved me right, it's not the dogs fault, it is the owners fault. Dumbass.

And saying that it may not even be the current owners fault, lots of rescue dogs have behavioural problems that are difficult to train out because they've been so neglected.

Wow. You're kind of a douche. Babies cry. It's not like it was the poor woman's fault!

To number 4- not everyone in the world will or must have kids.

Why should OP put up with the crying? I chose not to have kids so I don't have to listen to it. To everyone who said "imagine how the parents feel". I'm sure it's easier for them because they actually care and love the kid. It really gets frustrating to listen to kids of strangers.

That was very rude of you. Babies cry and sometimes their parents don't know why. Just wait til I have your own...on second thought, don't have any children because they will probably turn out rude like you.

Not true I think most people would do the same, if you have something to do in the morning then you would be pissed when you are kept up that long. Besides babies are **** ugly and very annoying I hope I never have one
