WHY does he walk around w/ his SHOES on ALL the time?? (we have hardwoods, the shit is noisy however much he weighs)...

WHY does he ROLL around in his office chair constantly?? BITCH, put a rug down & then the plastic thingy so it won't be so damn loud!!



Mind you, he's better than the chick before him who let her kid bang on pots & slam the cabinets all the time. But damn, doesn't he kinda have to be aware that people live below him?

Maybe I'm too conscientious of others or something.

I don't only keep my shoes off indoors b/c it's cleaner on the floors/rugs, but b/c it's less noisy for those below me.

I, too, have an office chair but I'm very conscious of the time of day whenever I'm in it & I don't just roll around with abandon. In fact, I hardly roll at all - this bitch goes back & forth across the room several times an hour!!

It would be one thing if he just did this during "noise" hours but he's often up @ 2 & 3 am w/ this shit


At least he's not fuckin' & fightin'... but I hate him still

My upstairs neighbors used to have furniture moving parties once a month or so, I swear.

Now I just get annoyed when they stomp stomp STOMP all over the place.
But I think I'm getting used to it. I barely notice it now unless I'm trying to sleep.

He makes me wanna wear my IPod all the time, but of course that piece of shit is trippin'

thats why, even though you may have to hike the stairs, its better to live on top!

I know... I swore I wouldn't live under anyone again after the last time but I had to move in a hurry & this was the best place I saw... thinking about moving up when a unit opens, but the thought of transferring all my shit is just unbearable

Why?

Because he has no regard for the effects of his actions on those around him, thats why.

Some people just dont!

I feel for ya, Calhoun, I have a loud-ass downstairs neighbor. I think all loud-ass people should be housed together in the same building, so they can drive each other crazy.

CalhounSq said:

Calhoun I'm going through the same thing right now! Dude has his 400lb girlfriend living with him and I call her Miss McStompalot! I had to bring bouncers home from my bar to scare them because after I confronted them they were yelling at me through the window when I was leaving!

Floors are hard wood and they never take off their shoes. They slam cabinet doors and drawers all the time and they are constantly dropping things. Now I keep a humidifier on high for background noise and I still hear them. If I don't hear them then it's my bed shaking because they stomp so much.

I have come to the realization that people just do not have common courtesy anymore. I pay rent too, mother fuckers! When I come home the shoes are off as soon as I walk in. I try not to slam doors and am careful not to drop things. When I play my music I look outside to see if the tenant downstairs is home before I play it. I give up, I don't know what else to do. I even exchanged phone numbers with this dude so I could call him instead of the landlord. Told him to be quiet after 11pm which is more than generous. Nothing is working. I think I'm going to try and get them kicked out so I can take their apartment. I already spoke to the landlord about them and he was furious. I mean pictures should not come crashing down off my walls...

People are just rude these days. They have no consideration for others.
When I used to live in an apt, I had a neighbor that would leave his alarm clock on in the morning after it went off - this was every day, including weekends and it was loud. I could not stand him and was never so happy to move when my lease was up.

psychodelicide said:

I never hear the people downstairs - they said they hardly ever hear me. I'm a good neighbor Except when I'm on the phone, I guess but that's rare!

Sorry about your downstairs bitches

CarrieLee said:

OMG, that is awful! Makes my guy seem 1/2 way decent It's one thing to hear stomping, but when the walls are actually shaking that's NOT COOL I hope they get kicked out

I do believe the term "Stompy McBitch" is gonna be my favorite of the rest of this week!

It's true - why is everyone so "me, me, ME"??? It's kind of insane

CalhounSq said:

Same here, a certain dog....he barks 24/7, i'm driven half MENTAL
I too listen to music to drown him out, it really gets on my nerves and makes me wanna...

jerseykrs said:

It was either "Stompy McBitch" or "Rolly McWhore", I had a hard time deciding

CalhounSq said:

I think they just forget that other people are around them, they live in their own little self involved world

CalhounSq said:

I would have went with Stompy McStomperson.

susannah said:

It's true!..if you can hear your neighbour sitting on the toliet taking a dump, that should tell you something...zero soundproofing!

If you can hear him he can hear you, so i respect their privacy and piece of mind, sadly others don't do the same!

i live in an upstairs apartment, but i'm pretty quiet and i take any noise that i make into consideration for those in the space below...but my last downstairs neighbor was hell-bent on insisting that somehow i made too much noise...me AND some of the other tenants in neighboring apartments. the guy was friggin batshit, man, i think he ended up getting evicted a year ago for continuing to harass folks after the landlord told him not to.

liberation said:

Sometimes the sound only goes down though. Like I hear him pissing ALL THE TIME, why we always end up in the bathroom @ the exact same time I don't know But I never hear a peep from the folks downstairs. But I guess they hear me when I take a dump huh?

CalhounSq said:

I'm sure you are a very good neighbor. I hope the situation with the upstairs neighbor improves. Have you talked to your landlord about it?

psychodelicide said:

I emailed the manager a few weeks ago & he said he would talk to him & find out what was up (it's in the lease that we have to have rugs in each room to lessen the noise). I need to follow up...

CalhounSq said:

Sounds travels up. Scientific fact!

With regard to the bathroom though, if you think about it, his noise source is closer to you, than your's (you peeing) is to him. Hes making a noise practically on the floor, as in the ceiling above your head, whereas you're aking a noise a whole room away from him, if you think about it.

Did that make sense?!

CalhounSq said:

Good luck, I hope the manager speaks to him about his noise. You shouldn't have to put up with that crap.

Funny story, true story (honest) my old apartment there was a couple upstairs..so i was sitting on the loo and hear moaning, like...moaning

It was just her, no need to paint a picture as to what she was doing, so i pulled some paper off the loo roll, and it made noise right...and she dropped the vibrator on her bathroom floor!

I swear, she then goes into the shower...hehe!

susannah said:

I know sound travels up in general I'm just saying I don't get any grief from my downstairs folks in this building, it's like they're never home. I love that

Yea, it makes sense...

liberation said:

Kinda goofy to do it in the bathroom (was he home or something?)... but I have wondered if they can hear mine - it does plug into the wall, after all

CalhounSq said:

Well you sound more considerate than him, having rugs and all! maybe they're deaf downstairs?!

susannah said:

I think our hours are pretty opposite, but I seem to share the same hours w/ Stompy
