Today, and for the past two weeks, the people living directly above me have decided to add rearranging their furniture to their daily routines. Not only that but apparently, 6 a.m. is the most optimal time for them. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, it's been three days since I started working 12-hour night shifts. My neighbors have now decided to renovate their house. They're focusing on the rooms sharing my wall. FML
Today, I discovered that it doesn’t matter where I move, I will always wake up at 5 a.m. to the sound of construction directly above my ceiling. FML
Today, I came home from a long shift at work to find that my roommate had completely rearranged all of the furniture. Apparently the new arrangement is supposed to improve the feng shui of our apartment. My bed is in the living room. FML
Today, just like every other day, I was woken up 2 hours earlier than I needed to be, by the alarm belonging to my upstairs neighbors. They won't wake up until their real alarm goes off: me, pounding the walls and yelling in frustration. FML
Today, and for the 4 months preceding it, my neighbors had been remodeling their house, which meant jackhammer noises every morning. The one day they take a break, my other neighbor decides to start a remodeling project. It'll only be two more months of this. FML
Today, just like every workday for the last 6 months, the construction workers in my building made loud noises in the morning and woke me up almost 2 hours before I would otherwise have to get up. This will continue for one more year. I'm not a morning person, and I live in a protected historical building. FML
Today, my new neighbours moved in. I've neither seen nor spoken to them yet; all I know is that they enjoy hammering at the walls for hours on end and repeatedly setting off the fire alarm. All this in the small hours of the morning. I got two hours of sleep. FML
Today, I'm at home sick and someone is moving into the apartment above ours. Judging by the sounds and level of noise, they seem to be opening some sort of woodworking shop. FML
Today, I finally decided to go talk to my upstairs neighbour about the loud banging noises he makes every single morning around 8 a.m. It worked. Now he starts at 7 a.m. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Like another commenter implied, I very much doubt they are rearranging their furniture.

OK so if they are having sex at 6am why are they making so much noise? Why is the moving of furniture involved unless OP you cannot discern the sound of a headboard banging against the wall from a table being dragged across the floor. So many questions OP and we are here waiting for an answer.

Isn't it obvious that your neighbours have some piece of convertable furniture they sleep on and the sound of furniture moving is the process of converting a bed back into a sofa or something?

This can only go one of two ways: The passive aggressive notes war OR The Gives You Hell noise battle for the ages

If they are rearranging the furniture and not doing something else ;) id suggest going to go get some of what ever they're smoking.

I think their having sex OP. Otherwise they are one weird individual who wants to move furniture every single day.

I used to do this too. (I didn't live above anyone!) I liked to work out at 5:30-6 am. And to have space to do yoga/the workout routine id need to move several pieces of furniture around every morning. Then would move them all back after.

This happened to me once - found out later they were running a credit card scam and rearranging boxes of stolen merchandise in the middle of the night. Report them to building and /or police, it may be worse than you think.

They're probably covering for making meth. You may want to call the police, unless lack of tooth retention and a pliable skeletal structure appeal to you.
