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.

But the cello is so soothing!! Bagpipes I can understand, but the cello?!

There are special devices that can mute the chanter which is where the majority of loud notes come from. So pretty much the only noise heard is the drones which just sounds like a vacuum cleaner. Ask your neighbour to look into this!

I had a neighbor that played bagpipes. He would walk out to the middle of the golf course in front of our houses and play during the evening when the golfers left. Even though he was pretty far away, the noise traveled. Those things are LOUD! But luckily, he was a very good musician. I liked listening to It vs if he had no idea wtf he was doing.

Uh oh... Panda boy mentioned he was a weapons expert in his bio. Anyone feel like having another 70+ comment thread debating his expertise?

I have a bunch of primary aged girls, screeching on their recorders at all hours at my place... We should start a rebellion against all the musically treacherous neighbours; even if they are 10!

I love bagpipes :) I just hope your neighbor knows how to play.
