Dammit I Hate Apartments

For so many reasons.

I have two little girls for one thing...this morning in their natural, relatively calm selves they were just dancing around on the floor. There was a tiny few stomps(accidental falls) on the floor. But they were quite calm for little kids.

The next thing I hear is some super loud(way louder than my kids), intentional banging coming up from the floor.

This is how the people below us let us know they are bitches and don't like the noise. It is 4pm you live an apartment...get over it!

Meanwhile, the people upstairs are absolutely constantly banging on the floor...throwing tables and desks across rooms, screaming, having loud disgusting sex at all hours of the day and night and probably abusing their child... as I've never heard a child screaming so much and with so much desperation...plus I hear this child being screamed at and talked to like a cheating, stealing spouse rather than a small child.

I've never heard the child being happy or the mom talking to her in a nice way at all, whatsoever. And I know if I can hear them having sex the little girl can too. And they literally do it at all hours of the day...everything...the screaming, the throwing shit across the room, the sex. I have often woken up to shit falling on the floor and sounding like my ceiling was about to fall apart...4-5am all hours...literally. I can hear entire conversations in the bathroom and I know that is not their fault, but I can only hear the conversations when they're loud...but the banging and screaming is too much. Have I ever gone up there or banged on the ceiling? Absolutely not... but I did make a complaint.

I wish I could live at the top and let these two houses surrounding me deal with each other.

 

You should call on them yelling at the kid

But otherwise, if the people below don't like it and can't deal with it.. they need to move on. I know that I could never, ever ever ever deal with other people and their noises and that's why I refuse to live in an apartment.. but there are people like me who are just miserable assholes and should know to stay out of that situation. So don't change what you're doing.. if anything start banging back on the floor at them

 

damn....

who needs crappy roomates when you live in that place huh.

was going to say, at least you dont have a crappy roomate,, but,, damn dude.

 

I know the feeling. i'm living in an apartment

 

I thank god every day I live in a trailer house in a quiet neighborhood outside of town. Yeah, the neighbors still suck, but it's their dogs keeping me awake, not them. lol

 

Thats why i rent a house now

 

I have a very touchy roommate that lives in the basement. He has no problem taking his problems out on me, the 130 pound woman, as opposed to my husband who is around 300 pounds and wears high heeled boots around. He complains that he never sleeps but he knew what it would be like living here before he moved in, as he's lived here before! I asked him why he takes his aggression out on me, he said he respects independent women who are doing something with their lives, opposed to me who claims the status of housewife. I'm not sure what that has to do with anything, but it worries me about him, especially since he claimed that he was going to bring a knife upstairs because a friend we had over was saying things he didn't like. When I called him on that, saying I was uncomfortable being threatened in my own house, he said he would never touch a woman, but that's not exactly the point! He seems to be a little unstable but he's my husband's friend and he's moving out soon, however it really bothers me.

 

Wow, sounds like we live in exactly the same place.. my neighbours above will scream constantly at eachother and their kids, i hear every word and its so irritating. Many times we have been woken in the night by them screeching at eachother..

you consider 4pm to be the morning?




my last apartment had a loud upstairs neighbor. i swear somebody up there used to put on work boots and run laps around the apartment every day at 4am. then on weekend nights the tenant and her boyfriend would get drunk and beat each other up. when they got really loud, i was known to stomp around and beat on my ceiling to let them know they were being assholes. it never seemed to sink in though.

i've lived in several apartments and that was the only one i had a problem with the neighbors. currently i feel like i might be the problem neighbor. i try to be quiet, but i'm on the top floor and my floor has several squeaky floorboards, so i feel like my downstairs neighbor must be constantly listening to my squeaks.

 

Squirt Some WD-40 Between The Floorboards, Not Enough To Stain Their

Ceiling, Just Enough To Do The Job...:2thumbsup:



Cheers Glen.

 

Who cares about squeaks?

I don't consider 4pm to be morning...I think maybe my downstairs neighbors felt as such, since my girls were dancing and they freaked out about it.

I have never lived in an apartment before. This is not my place, I'm living with my mom. I have lived in a duplex, houses and a trailer because I have always been opposed to living in an apartment.

I'm pretty sure there's a lot of domestic violence going on above me. I think I am pretty tolerant of things before I get pissed off, while the people below me are extra sensitive. I'd like to see how things went if the two were directly above one another without my place being in between.

 

can't get in there, it's all carpeted. i know there's separate boards though, because i can feel them underneath the carpet.

hopefully no one. i just kind of worry about it, because i have to admit it's kind of loud. and there's really nothing i can do to avoid it, short of not walking in my apartment.

 

Hmmm I was thinking of moving back to an apartment but I had forgotten how noisy they are! People will always be rude and inconsiderate, sadly - how long till you move out or are you stuck there for now?

 

I broke free from what I hope is my last apartment experience last month. Im loving my 2500 sq foot house where I can do my laundry whenever I feel like it, have loud sex if I should feel so inclined, or play freaking basketball if I should so damn well please. It's amazing!

Why not rent a house? Sure, they're usually a bit more expensive, but it's so worth it. During my time in HI, it wasn't really an option. I've been lucky enough to purchase my home I live in now, and it's freaking ah-may-zing! I'm still basking in all its glory.

 

actually to stop floor squeaks use talcum powder.

 

If someone isn't going to give me the respect of telling me that I'm being too loud, I'm not going to give the respect of being quiet to them.

If someone beats on the floor/ceiling, I will just assume its a contest of who can make the loudest noise.....and I will beat back. But if they knock on the door and ask me to turn it down, then I will gladly lower my noise level. I also think its pretty shady to put in a complaint without talking to them first.

I'm currently living in an apartment, but everyone here likes to party I play my bass in the middle of the night and my neighbors will show up with a 6 pack.

I put in a complaint because I think these people are dangerous and I want nothing to do with having a confrontation with them. If it was just noise, like music, sex, running or jumping it'd be one thing. And I have kids, so I am pretty tolerant...also I've always lived in my own space where I could be as loud as I want, so I know what is a decent level of noise and what isn't.

These people are screaming and hitting each other and I'm pretty sure there is domestic violence in adults and child abuse going on. It's an ongoing investigation. Everyone from my level and everyone on the same level as them can hear it...it's only the people below me who can't.

There's also a gang of college kids living upstairs, they are loud but it's totally different. It's easy to just say you guys are a bit loud can you turn it down...it's completely different if you think the people will be hostile, take it out on you and if you know they are violent and abusive and pretty unstable.

I won't be here much longer, but frankly I hate the idea of renting a house as well. I will rent from someone I know, but I don't consider any houses around here to be worth renting that I can afford...I don't like being swindled. I'm living here because I'm saving money and don't actually have to pay rent.

 

after hearing all this,,,

suddenly living in a tent doesnt sound too bad
