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 always banged up even during the day I got so pissed off I ended up just lifting up the couch at one end and dropping it everytime she banged up, she soon stopped must have sounded like the ceiling was going to fall in ??

Next time. You bang on her wall every time she is no banging.

just ignore her, or have a talk with her about it. there's no need to act immature like some of the other comments are suggesting.

Fell that bitch to CALM THE **** down. I mean if you can't clean or cook in your home... That's either batbitch or you all need to talk to the landlord about some wall that's made of paper.

Take the complaint to your land lord and tell him that she is banging on the wall while you try to use the living space that you are paying him for. Make sure to point out how loudly(and thus hard) she is hitting the wall, and that you are worried she is going to punch through to your side of the wall. Maybe even record the sound as she hits the wall. Your landlord will probably give her a warning about risking damage to his property. If that doesn't work, try looking into the sheets of sound dampening material and put them on your kitchen wall. Try giving her good quality earplugs, or if her bitching is about not hearing her music/TV, get a cheap set of wireless headphones for her. Or ignore her slamming on the wall until she hurts herself, damages the wall, or both. You're paying for the ENTIRE apartment, OP. That means you have the right to use the ENTIRE apartment, not just the parts that your neighbor can't hear you in. Unless you are being exceedingly noisy, she shouldn't have a leg to stand on if she makes noise complaints because her hitting the wall sounds like it is more disruptive than your cooking.
