I’ve got this horrible neighbour upstairs who might possibly be the loudest person in the western hemisphere. Walking around in heels for hours at a time, phone rings so loud that it’s more effective at waking me up than my alarm, constantly screeching furniture around all day everyday, blasting the same annoying movie at random times, and slamming doors every 15 minutes.
The apartment isn’t even that bad for noise seperation, I never hear the neighbours beside me or the ones under me. This woman is just annoying and I’ve gone upstairs before to tell her to stop blasting music at midnight in the middle of the week, she treated me like I was the maniac for having the audacity to knock on her door.
As I’m laying in bed last night after getting woken up and hoping today is the day she drops dead, I was wondering why she even needs to close doors. When I lived alone I don’t think I ever closed doors, maybe the bathroom on occasion but this old woman lives by herself with no pets yet she’s constantly slamming doors. Do people normally close doors often when they live alone?
Oh I promise I tried. The first time I talked to her was because it sounded like she was rearranging furniture everyday but it would screech across the floor like nails on a chalkboard. Every morning around 7. My mom was going through chemo and radiation at the time so she was already exhausted all the time. One day I decided this was getting too ridiculous so I bought some felt pad stickers you put on chair legs. Brought them up to her, explained my situation calmly and even offered to put the stickers on her chairs for her.
She kept saying I was the guy from the 10th floor (I am not) and that she knows I’ve lived there for years (I had not). After I put the stickers on, she said “ok now get out and stay out!”. Pretty sure she took the stickers off because the screeching got even worse after that interaction. The next time I knocked on her door to ask her to turn her music down at midnight she just yelled at me through the door. This sack of shit has no intention to be friendly unfortunately.
Yikes. Have you talked to the building manager or landlord ?
Ya I’ve talked to the superintendent 4 or 5 times about it. Also had another neighbour across the hall that kept slamming their front door 10+ times a day so hard that my front door would rattle. Both situations he said he talked to them but nothing changed so either he’s lying or the 2 tenants dont give af.
I had to confront the neighbour across the hall personally before he stopped. He called me an asshole when I asked if he could stop slamming the door. The mindset and logic that these people operate on is incredible. The majority of the building are pretty considerate, I just got stuck living by 2 of the most miserable pricks.
