Today, I learned that I cannot cook or clean in my kitchen because it's too noisy for my neighbour. Every time I do, she bangs on the wall. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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, I can't any peace and quiet in any room of my flat. The neighbours on one side are arguing, the other side are having very loud sex, the ones upstairs I suspect are playing some sort of games console, and downstairs daughter has been practising her violin badly all morning. FML
Today, I wore noise-canceling headphones while cleaning my apartment. Apparently I'd been singing at the top of my lungs for nearly an hour, because my neighbor knocked on my door just to ask if everything was OK. FML
Today, my new neighbours moved in. I had always thought my bedroom wall was soundproof, because my old neighbours never complained about my loud night terrors. Turns out they were just stone deaf. The new ones can hear everything. FML
Today, I now know why my next-door neighbour can't look me in the eye without smirking. He can hear every grunt, groan, fart and strain that happens in my bathroom from his bathroom. 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, my mom realized that the "door" part in "screen door" doesn't block sound when she began to talk to our neighbours about how much of a failure I am. I heard everything. FML
Today, my neighbor knocked on my door and left a note that said "Please stop singing in the shower. You're terrible, and everyone in the building can hear you." FML
Today, my neighbor yelled “Fuck you!” at me through his window. My crime? Closing my front door “too loud.” This man lets his children beat on the walls and slam doors but apparently I’m the problem. FML
Today, I was singing while unloading my dishwasher. I heard a knock on the door and went to answer it only to find the police telling me they received noise complaints from my neighbors. I live next-door to my parents. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Be more considerate. You don't need to eat, just live off the air you breathe. YDI.

Unless you're baking at 2 am with chainsaws and a nail gun, that's unwarranted.

I had a neighbour like that once - he came to the door at 2am to accuse me of 'being noisy' - I had gone to bed at 11? I just lost my shit and threw him down the stairs. I got a caution from the police for aggravated assault, but he never bothered me again after that.

Your apartment must have really thin walls. This happened when I was younger, someone complained because they thought I was walking too heavily or running. No, it was our cat at the time. We moved to a ground floor apartment after that.

There was a video on YouTube of a guy that so fed up with his neighbors playing really loud music that he set up the biggest speakers he could find and had his computer blast the most annoying music ever if the volume got above a set limit. That might work in your case. After the fifth or so bang have it play a minute of loud music for 30 seconds. Then the next time a minute and so on till she gets the idea.
