Today, after my annoying neighbor who used to spend hours playing the cello in the apartment below me finally moved out, I found out that I have a new musical neighbor moving in. This fellow plays the bagpipes. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, our new neighbour three doors up just moved in, he even came round to introduce himself to everyone to assure us he means to be a good neighbour, and won’t be too noisy. Six hours later we found out he’s Scottish and likes to practise his bagpipes in the back garden. FML
Today, it appears that my upstairs neighbour has decided to learn how to play the trombone. FML
Today, my next door neighbor took up playing the flute as a new hobby. Unfortunately, he's very enthusiastic about actually practising it. It's been 3 hours and counting. FML
Today, a week after moving into my new house, I'm seriously considering suing the previous occupant. He failed to mention how the neighbor has his own band and rehearses every other day until 2am. Their music is so bad, it sounds like the wailing of a cat being tortured to death. FML
Today, I found out my upstairs neighbor is a drummer. He's actually quite good, so I didn't have the heart to report a noise complaint. That is, until he screamed Ringo Starr's infamous line, "I got blisters on my fingers!" at the top of his lungs after playing them too long. I would have laughed if it wasn't 2AM. FML
Today, I moved into a lovely basement suite. Unfortunately, the 12 year old upstairs plays violin. She also plays baritone. She said she alternates each day. FML
Today, my neighbor's kid started learning the violin. FML
Today, I learned that my new neighbour's car alarm goes off every time a car drives by blasting loud bass. So far, it's gone off 6 times in the last hour. I can't wait until he's done moving in here, where he and his car will stay for the next year. 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, 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

The only reasonable solution: Buy a trumpet.

Get over it. A good musician needs somewhere to practise. I play the bagpipes too and I've found that no one should have a problem with it unless they are played too late at night.

Unless, of course you work nights and sleep days. When you live on an apartment, you just have to learn to be tolerant of others.

I love that there's a bagpipe player here to answer this! I actually kind of like the bagpipes, they remind me of higlands and cute scottish television series. I would tolerate any instrument practising/loud music playing in the block for about an hour; more than that would be inconsiderate, though.

Your local community college will have practice rooms in their music department. It's really rude to play so loud that it disrupts your neighbors.

I can understand the aggravation with bagpipes (sorry), but to me at least, cello is beautiful... I don't know what's up with OP

Your on the Internet, no one gives a shot about your opinion

Ugh, bagpipes! The horror! I had to endure listening to those during a "Korn" concert and wanted to slit my wrists. Sounds of cats getting raped by a chainsaw isn't music! *** If you enjoy the bagpipes, sorry to insult. I'm just stating my opinion.:P
turtlegrl66 11
If it was that bad, I'm really sorry that you may have listened to someone who was not up to performing! Bagpipes shouldn't sound like that unless something is terribly wrong with the instrument or they're a beginner.

I love the sound of bagpipes. It must be a very hard instrument to learn. I can imagine that a beginner would sound pretty bad.

Korn is awesome. Well... Their older stuff is.

Your opinion is invalid. How do you judge an instrument just from one crappy live performance?

40-Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't people usually form opinions from positive or negative experiences? You may not agree with her, but her opinion is still as valid as yours.

It's not an instrument that everyone can enjoy. I would personally love to hear cello music all day, but I don't think I could tolerate an hour or more of bagpipes

I think Adele sounds like a cat in heat being drowned in a burlap sack, but I'm not going around saying it to everyone who listens to her. Honestly, I love bagpipes. Would much rather listen to them than cello. Beginners can definitely be rough, but everyone starts somewhere.

Why were you at a Korn concert in the first place?

Would you consider moving to a new apartment? I think that is an idea that you should consider.

Yeah, because everyone can afford to move whenever they like •_•

Piss in the pipes.

You can poke pinholes in his bladder until it becomes so unpleasant to play, he quits. If that doesn't work, you can try to sabotage his instrument.

Well done.

What the **** is that supposed to mean?
