Today, the family upstairs decided to play basketball. Indoors. At 3am. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, after having to call in a noise complaint about my downstairs neighbors talking loud past midnight, the managers fixed the problem. Now all I can hear is two little girls who like to throw a basketball at the building for hours. FML
Today, my very very loud upstairs neighbor's children got ahold of athletic whistles. 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, I met my new upstairs neighbors and their 4 kids all under the age of 6. I met them due to all the thudding coming from upstairs. 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
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, the guy on the floor above me decided it was time for a tuba jam session. Apparently optimal tuba time is 2am. 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, 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
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I feel ya OP, I live in an apartment where the people upstairs scream at each other all hours of the night and at one point I thought they were killing each other up there. But one anonymous cop call seemed to do the trick for me, so maybe give it a try?

Are you sure it was basketball? They could have just been decapitating people or watching the end of Eastenders on repeat.

They would have had fewer kids if Dad didn't double-dribble.

The people who lived above me in my old appartment sounded like they had a herd of elephants up there. A basketball game sounds rather quiet.

retaliate with heavy metal music.

That wouldn't be a punishment to me or a number of head bangers. (: I say breakout the Neil Diamond.

but then the OP has to hear it too. I could appreciate some badass guitar but hopefully they'd hate it!

Hey, I could get down to some Neil Diamond.
