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
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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 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, I got a noise complaint about "loud stomping" in my apartment disturbing the tenant below. I guess I'm supposed to tell my sweet children that they are no longer allowed to play in their own home. FML
Today, my batshit crazy downstairs neighbor threatened me with "legal action" for making too much noise. According to her, it’s "illegal" for people in upstairs apartments to use vacuum cleaners, therefore I must sweep my carpets to avoid disturbing her and her imaginary guests. FML
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, my new neighbours moved in. I had always thought my bedroom wall was soundproof, because my old neighbours never complained about my loud night terrors. Turns out they were just stone deaf. The new ones can hear everything. FML
Today, I was awoken at 3am by hotel management to tell me they received complaints about me from every room within 30 yards of mine, including from the floors above and below me. What was my crime? Snoring loud enough to rattle windows on the other side of the building. FML
Today, I found out that there's a very loud and frisky couple living above my bedroom, and a family with a crying baby living above my living room. At this rate, I'll end up sleeping in the bathtub in my own home. FML
Today, I left my window open while practicing the saxophone. My drunk neighbours showed their appreciation for the music with a well-aimed firecracker that set my mattress on fire. My landlord has threatened to evict me as she thinks I set it off. FML
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I highly doubt they'll be able to make a good case against you to evict you in front of your landlord (unless they make stuff up). Keep your chin up, don't take shit from shitty neighbours!

Why do people tend to turn into self righteous assholes as soon as they procreate?

Really, in a contest between a creaky floorboard and screaming babies, I'm pretty sure babies are a lot louder

If you live in a rented accommodation get the landlord to fix the floorboard if its causing trouble.

Clearly you should learn the ways of the ninja, "without a sound."

I would have stomped all the way to the bathroom, slammed the door, dropped a bowling ball at 3am (even off it meant borrowing one), n stomped my ass right back up the hall. When they knocked to complain, I wouldn't have answered, but called the cops instead to report some weirdos knocking on ppl's doors waking them up at 3am...

Get a friend in on it so they can give you an alibi, saying you were with them the whole night and no one was home at your place. Your neighbor will look foolish and maybe think twice about calling in a noise complaint for something so trivial. We had a neighbor who was convinced we were having crazy parties all the time (when we were barely ever home), and would call constantly to complain about the noise. I once got a call from my landlord asking why I didn't answer the door when she came over to talk about the noise complaint. When I explained to her that I was in another province, and had been there for almost a week, she never took the crazy old bat's complaints seriously after that.

I'm not taking any sides here but tip toeing upstairs can sound like a bunch of elephants in the apartment below. My upstairs neighbors apparently have no idea how loud they are! Yes, I am the crazy downstairs neighbor - go ahead and dislike this comment
