Today, I signed the lease on my first apartment alone with my boyfriend. We've lived here a month before we got to sign. Today is also the day my neighbors decided to show how they're night owls: all I hear is banging on the walls and them loudly talking and yelling. This will be a long year. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my fiancé and I just moved into our first apartment together. Our neighbor across the hall? My ex-boyfriend who I've had to file three separate restraining orders on. FML
Today, my boyfriend's ex moved into the apartment beneath us. She's already called the cops on us for a noise complaint twice. We were sleeping. It's going to be a long year. 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 boyfriend and I moved into our own house. He proceeded to invite his parents to stay for the week. The same parents we've lived with for the past 5 years. FML
Today, I signed a two-year lease on a house. My next-door neighbor said she's in love with me, threatened my girlfriend, and won't stop blasting Taylor Swift. FML
Today, sick of the unfiltered noise we hear from our neighbours in our upstairs apartment, as we're above their fence line, we signed the lease on an apartment downstairs. While I was downstairs, my partner clomped upstairs, opened the bathroom door, and took a piss. I heard EVERYTHING. FML
Today, I moved in with my friend and her husband so we can be roommates during school. Today is also the day they decided to get a divorce. It's going to be a long year. FML
Today, my three housemates got into a huge fight and ended up declaring their undying hatred for each other. They now refuse to talk to each other, and I've become their go-between. Yesterday, we signed the lease for another year in the house together. 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 moved into my new apartment. My neighbor is apparently crazy and thinks I'm trying to 'steal' her husband. She watches me and is super paranoid. I have a two year lease. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

File a noise complaint

Return the favor. Personally, I'd prefer roaring or moaning like your life depends on an ****** everytime you have sex. Get creative, OP. Either that or talk to them/landlord. They're both fine choices.

If this is the first night they've been that unbearable hopefully this isn't how they are normally and you'll go back to getting peaceful nights rest

The real big issue with apartments...town houses are a bit more ideal

Report them to the landlord and call the cops on them lol.

Sounds like it might be a one-time thing if it's just tonight after a month of quiet nights.

The only way the cops get involved is if your neighbours are breaking the law. That means it's your landlord's responsibility. Complain to your landlord until he does something about it or evicts them.

Excessive noise after hours is breaking the law for disturbing the peace. Also, it's easier to evict a tenant with prior official citations.

if this is the first time you've heard it after being there for a month, are you sure it's not just a one time thing?

Hope you're buying earplugs for yourself and your boyfriend too. No need to torture yourselves as well.

That does suck, felt that pain... Just one question?! Did you sign for it alone or with your BF? The latter would not be 'alone'.

Look up noise ordinance for your area and see if you can report them for that. Or, since it sounds like they are being violent, say you think there is a domestic violence situation going on.

File a noise complaint. After 3 complaints the apt manager has to take action or they can be evicted. Been there done that.
