Miscellaneous: Quiet

Quiet

By Deborah - 27/10/2011 06:41 - United States

Today, I saw my upstairs neighbor outside getting the mail. She asked how my day was, and then apologized that the sound of her baby's crying through the walls kept me up last night. Apparently she heard me when I yelled at 2am for her fucking demon spawn to shut up. FML

Keep it down

Today, after my old downstairs neighbor, who would come upstairs to bang on my door and yell at me every time she heard a sound from me at all times of the day, had finally moved out, it became clear that my new downstairs neighbor gets drunk and yells at the TV in the early hours of the morning.

Today, after 3 days of interrupted sleep, I confronted my new neighbor about the noise his wife keeps making during their "private time". He then let me know the noise is actually from his daughter, who's mentally disabled and isn't taking the move well. FML

Make it stop

Today, I met my new upstairs neighbors. They have a four-month-old child and appear to be firm believers in the "let them cry it out" philosophy. The baby's room is right above mine. A few days of trying to sleep through this shit and I'll look like a Walking Dead extra. FML

Today, my neighbors in the apartment above me yet again had a loud fight, well past midnight while I was trying to sleep. I stood on my bed and pounded on the ceiling to shut them up. And now I'll have to explain the two fist-shaped holes in the ceiling to my landlord. 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

Good night, sleep tight

Today, I was trying to fall asleep. Unfortunately, my next-door neighbor's baby began to cry. I closed the window and rolled over, unable to hear the crying anymore. My dog's hearing is better than mine, and so he started barking. Goodbye, good night's sleep. FML

Today, the only thing my downstairs neighbor wanted to talk about with me is how she can hear us go to the bathroom. She also claims that she can tell which one of us is going, based on the noise level. FML

Today, my crackhead neighbour got slightly annoyed at my 2-day-old daughter's late-night wailing. Well, I think so, anyway, as she politely requested us to "SHUT THAT CUNT KID UP." or she would "BLOW BOTH OUR HOUSES UP, YOU FUCKING ASSFUCKS." But I'm not 100% sure. FML

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

Everybody needs good neighbours

Today, I live on the second floor and my neighbor from below banged on my door, telling me I sounded like a giant elephant and needed to learn to be quiet. I was eating ice cream in bed. I also live alone. FML

It's a baby. It's going to cry. Again. Now and later as well. Hell, even tomorrow. A baby can't control it's crying (that's its way of communication) but you can control your mouth. Okay, damage done. The mother apologized. She's having a harder time than you are. You placed more stress on her because of the fact that she has to make her baby happy, and neighbors as well. PS. Maybe you were once called a demon spawn yourself when you were a baby

If the sound is bothering you do something about it, get earplugs or put on your mp3 player, dont bitch at the wall, thats really proactive.

You don't like hearing your neighbors? Grow a sack and don't live in an apartment building. Douche canoe.

Or maybe it's them who should grow a sack and keep the noise level down.

Yeah great idea. Making a baby be quiet is that easy. You can't control a baby like that.

It's true that you can't control a baby's cries, but the parents must have known that they could face some cranky neighbors living in an apartment complex. Now the tenants were probably aware that they wouldn't be able to have complete silence, but in this situation there's a little blame to be had on all parties because we're dealing with a complex rather than separate houses.

I have great respect for perdix, having seen many of his/her FML comments. I believe this FML depends on your views on parenting. In my personal view, if I can find nothing wrong with a baby, then I will let it cry. If it goes on for over an hour and doesn't stop, then it's doctor time. Some babies like testing out lung capacity, cute little devils.

You're going to waste a LOT of you and your doctors time if you go see him every time your baby cries for more than an hour. Just sayin'.

If you dont like the baby crying put on headphones. Babys cry, sometimes there nothing you can do to soothe them but wait it out, its not the moms fault the walls are thin. And if you were kept up how do you think the she feels?? She really shoud not have even apoligized...you shoud have.
