Have you ever knocked on your neighbors’ door and asked them to stop whatever it is they are doing?
Anyone who has ever dealt with extremely loud neighbors knows what I’m talking about. It doesn’t even have to be people who talk loudly, or people who stomp their feet until it sounds like they are tap dancing up there… Even the little, everyday things that your neighbor does can turn out to be really loud and annoying to the residents around them, including you.
For example, my apartment is directly below an 85-year-old man who lives alone. Every day, he turns on his TV at 6:00 AM and keeps it on until 11:00 PM at night. Theoretically, having his TV on is his right, and it shouldn’t bother someone who lives a whole floor below him. However, since this guy is quite old, he can’t hear very well, so he sets the volume of his TV to be so loud that you can hear it from 5 floors down, including my bedroom, and everyone who lives around him has to suffer.
I’ve obviously knocked on his door a few times and asked him to turn the volume down, but every morning, it’s the same old story, and I have simply accepted my fate.
It seems like the neighbors in this story, shared on a Reddit community, are not willing to accept their fate as I do. They claim that their upstairs neighbor’s dishwasher is too loud for them, so they keep leaving sticky notes on their front door demanding to mind the hours the dishwasher is on. According to them, any time past 9:00 PM is too late, even by just a few minutes.
As much as I understand the struggle of a neighbor with a loud facility, I’m not sure if I support these neighbors’ actions, and it seems like the upstairs resident has also had enough of their demands.
