Today, I'm at home sick and someone is moving into the apartment above ours. Judging by the sounds and level of noise, they seem to be opening some sort of woodworking shop. FML

Today, and the 4 months preceding it, my neighbors had been remodeling their house, which meant jackhammer noises every morning. The one day they take a break, my other neighbor decides to start a remodeling project. It'll only be two more months of this. FML

Today, they're jackhammering through concrete walls at my workplace in order to build an addition. I'm allowed to work from home… but I live right next to where they're jackhammering down a concrete garage. 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, it's been three days since I started working 12-hour night shifts. My neighbors have now decided to renovate their house. They're focusing on the rooms sharing my wall. FML

Today, I moved into my brand new apartment, only to discover that there is an annoying, constant hum coming from the ceiling above my bed. FML

Today, it's the third day I've been at home recuperating from ear surgery. My surgery was on the same day my neighbor started renovating. There's been hours of jack-hammering every day I've been home. FML

Neighbours from hell

By Anonymous - This FML is from back in 2012 but it's good stuff - Canada - Oakville

Today, my new neighbours moved in. I've neither seen nor spoken to them yet; all I know is that they enjoy hammering at the walls for hours on end and repeatedly setting off the fire alarm. All this in the small hours of the morning. I got two hours of sleep. FML

Today, I learned that the gong my job installed less than 30 feet from my desk is being moved, due to noise complaints. To the office building I'm moving to in a few weeks. FML

Today, I found out that there's a very loud and frisky couple living above my bedroom, and a family with a crying baby living above my living room. At this rate, I'll end up sleeping in the bathtub in my own home. FML

Today, someone in my 8-floor appartment building got an airhorn. They seem to enjoy using it. I can't work out where they are. FML

between 11 and 7 they have to be quiet, else you can ask them to quiet down, but if you got same type of neighbours as I do who blas music all day and ignoring your complaints (got homeoffice) you just have to either talk to the land lord or just try to ignore it.. Sorry op! Feel better!

I feel your pain...I had a neighbor who didn't have a job and blasted lady gaga all day at full volume even when she was sleeping, or not even at home. I complained so much the landlord eventually moved me to another apartment.

They are moving in. What are they supposed to do, leave the bed and furniture disassembled and the boxes unpacked until the OP feels better? They can't really do anything for him, and all he achieves by making an unreasonable request is to annoy his new neighbors.

Which kind of wood working? Hur hur

Probably some pine. Or it could be some plywood. Or particle board.

Good response, I was afraid someone might take it sexually

People can be so inconsiderate! Go explain to them that you're sick and ask if they can lower the noise down! anyways chill op. They are moving in so it would be noisy! Hopefully wont last long ! :) Feel better soon!

I think it's safe to say that THAT's not going to happen. And if it does, OP has more to worry about than a bit of noise...

It'd be kinda cool if you gave them a sampled drum beat, turned it up to the exact level of their commotion, and told them to work to the rhythm. That might at least make it a little easier to stand.
