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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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. FML
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
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
Today, I heard my downstairs neighbor pounding on her roof/my floor. I thought she was being a Karen and wanting me to be quiet, even though I wasn’t doing anything. I stomped back defiantly to make a point. Turns out she was having an asthma attack and was asking for help. Oops. FML
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Ouch. Really, you shouldn't be screaming at a baby. What is wrong with you?!

If you can hear the baby's crying through the wall, why would you think they wouldn't hear your yelling through the wall?

Yeah, screaming at babies that they are terrible little Satan spawns is EXACTLY how to get them to stop crying....

Oh so everyone's gonna gang up on op? SCREW YOU PEOPLE! You know crying can be annoying and it's especially annoying when you didn't get to partake in the fun that caused it! Sometimes people yell that's natural too!

Very mature. Yes. You are right. But now imagine the mother. Obviously she's the one who now is dealing with a crying baby, losing sleep in the process and having her neighbor yell at her. It isn't hard to put on something to work as white noise or for the op to listen to some music.

No one said it wasn't annoying, and a grown adult can control their temper, also, yelling at an infant is not "natural". Anger and annoyance is natural, how you cope with it is a choice you consciously make using your judgment skills.

YDI for shouting so loudly she heard you. I hear some people on here saying how it is not nice if you have to work the next morning to be kept up by a baby... just think how the parents feel. Babies cry.. they have no other way of communicating until they can talk. So STFU and buy some earplugs! Or move.

Demons are clever that way! They **** up your life, then the next day, they "apologize" and make YOU feel guilty for them ******* up your life. Hire an exorcist.

My daughter had horrible colic. Screamed for hours on end no matter what I did. It took 3 months and 4 different formulas for her to get past it. We were at the dr every otter week, she was miserable, and so was everyone else. But yes, its very possible for babies to be inconsolable. There was only one way to get her to calm down (to a cry instead of a scream) and that involved a very complex walk/jiggle/rock/sway/shhhhh combination.

Good job wing sensitive to something someone else has absolutely no control over. Be lucky you don't live under me. I'd make sure to flood my toilets and overflow my drains often.
