Today, the guy on the floor above me decided it was time for a tuba jam session. Apparently optimal tuba time is 2am. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, it appears that my upstairs neighbour has decided to learn how to play the trombone. FML
Today, my flatmate was listening to opera on full volume all afternoon and now he's playing James Bond on the trumpet. FML
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
Today, and for the past two weeks, the people living directly above me have decided to add rearranging their furniture to their daily routines. Not only that but apparently, 6 a.m. is the most optimal time for them. FML
Today, the family upstairs decided to play basketball. Indoors. At 3am. 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, to punish me for being hungover, my roommate blasted the bagpipe version of "Amazing Grace" through his stereo. FML
Today, I was blaring the radio to drown out the sound of the kids in the apartment upstairs. They then started jumping in time with the music. 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 matched with someone on a dating app. The first thing they said to me was, "What is the chance that you are the trombone player living below me and would you please stop playing after 9 p.m.?" I am that trombone player and due to Covid I have to practice a lot in my apartment. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Tonight, get the biggest speakers you can find and play extremely loud dubstep out of them.

Tuba fair, at least it's not bagpipes. Those really blow.

TheCanucklehead 22

Hockeyboy4280 18
It's really tubad that OP has to put up with this.

#30 that is possibly the best idea for dubstep I have ever heard.
Nolonger 11
No! Not dubstep! That's jsut horrible.
tannara 12
Or folk music cause that shit is enough to drive a person insane
Cheeley 17
Should have grabbed your bass clarinet and joined them.

Don't like the tune of his playing? Key into it with your own jams, if it really strikes a chord his flat playing will be sharpened up in no time when you pitch in. Some people cant handel all the music at once, so of course it might get both of you in treble.
yourmurderscenex 13
that would be one badass jam session.
LordoftheOcelots 10
Come on and slam welcome to the jam

Stop harping on with all these clever puns. Soon you'll be blowing your own trumpet at how good they are. Plucking hell!
obnum 19
Eeeh trying too hard, 38.
TourettesGuyFTW 26
You can't be a try hard with puns. Either it's a pun or it isn't.
airforce987 20
I did nazi that coming! Oh, woops! Wrong pun! *creeps backwards out of the room*

53- I found that very offensive, anne frankly I'm disappointed in you.
Saywat145 17
If this continues, get some earplugs! Those really work! Good luck OP!

Make a report
Welshite 40
I always find writing reports to be the best. OP can go through the history of the tuba, famous tuba players, and classical pieces.

I don't get why this is getting downvoted. My sister lives in an apartment with her two toddlers, and her douchebag-neighbour parties all the effin' time, blasting music and jumping around screaming like crazy in the middle of the night. They've tried talking to him so many times, but he never takes it seriously. It's disgusting how selfish and disrespectful some people are. Filing a report will serve them just fine.
vipirius 18
It got downvoted because it's "file a report" not " make a report".
NoFlippinWai 24
And you got downvoted because your explaination of why it was downvoted was wrong.
twiggy22 7
Call the police !! That's the obvious thing to do Or in the morning tell him if he does it again your calling the cops
Peachy2392 26
That is not the most obvious thing to do. There are other options to consider before calling the police. Consider talking to the neighbor and asking them to refrain from practice in the middle of the night.

Why is 7 getting thumbed down? I nicely tried that with one of my inconsiderate neighbours once. He told me to my face to "**** off!" And then blasted the music even louder. I never called the cops (someone else must have) and he thought I did since I was the one openly complaining. Well, I found my house egged the next morning. So no more personal confrontation for me. Damn section 8! :P
perdix 31
How rude!!! He didn't ask you to bring your tympani upstairs to join in?! You could have created such powerful low-frequency tones that you'd literally rock the house.
perdix 31
#20, no, those would explode the house. Resonant frequencies would gently rock the house ;)
MrSassypants 34
I once rocked the house the house. It was the first time I was told I should never throw stones at glass houses, and the third time I was sued for thousands of dollars.
dewberry2001 25
Perdix you're a legend. I had a dream about meeting you once. Legit.

Retaliate with One Direction blaring at him. I'm sure that will shut him up.
HowieDoIt 21
Please don't take his advice, OP. Fighting fire with turd does no good for the world.
yourmurderscenex 13
let's not torment the other residents in the building.
NoFlippinWai 24
not to mention then Op would also have to listen to OneDirection. and no one wants to listen to One Direction. No One.
gracehi 33
2am? How horribly inconsiderate! It's 1am that the gods require their daily offering of tuba music! Seriously, I hate it when people are late! And now all the world will suffer from the wrath of the tuba gods because this one guy was late. Don't you hate it when one person ruins something for everyone? I know I do.
botanistjessica 24
This might have been a better comment had you not dragged it on so much.
gracehi 33
I tried... Too hard, I guess. :'(
perdix 31
And 2:05 am is the optimal time to jam a tuba up someone's ass.
