Neighbors! Do You Have Noisy, Grouchy, or Otherwise PITA Neighbors??

...Hi vycess, I have had the same thing happen to me. The noise is so loud from upstairs, I cannot hear my television, or make out what is being said on the tv, if I can hear it. The noise from upstairs, with the loud music playing or the incessant dog barking on and on, drowns out everything. It is a complete and total pain in the rear. I don't really understand how people with normal hearing can put up with such noise. Take care and thanks for your reply.

..Hi there thyst07, You live in an apartment building, where it sounds as if you have the makings of a television series, if you were to write it. Put pen to paper and make some money. There are stories there to be told. I live in a duplex and the same thing that you have described goes on over top of my apartment. The noise is so loud it shakes the building sometimes. They have two dogs and three cats in a three bedroom apartment. What in the world, as they say. Yesterday, it was so loud, I hollered something and the noise stopped for a while. It's amazing how people can make so much noise and think it is alright. What is wrong with them? I feel sorry for you, we share the same awful thing, neighbors who have no manners or gentility. Take it easy. Thanks for your response. Like your little cat. "o)

..Hi there MsTickle, Do you think she has a mental problem or is she just a grouch? Or is there any way to tell? Sometimes people who suffere from dementia act out because they don't understand what is happening to them, they have temper tantrums and get quite upset with everyone. She could need help, or she may just be a complete donkey "o). Take care. Hope your daughter is doing better.

The old timers tell me she was always a bully and to be very careful of her, not to trust her or turn my back on her. She likes to be controlling, telling people what to do and what they should be doing. She can be verbally aggressive. An emu wandered into her place, curious, not doing anything wrong...she took to it with a big stick...this is a protected species. She believes the best way to teach pets a lesson is to give them a severe beating and talking to when they do something wrong. She finds the local aborigines getting drunk and fighting and hurting one another highly amusing. She is a racist. I thought she might have some mental issues...she has to know everything going on around her, but I think she's just a nasty woman...the epitome of a battleaxe in fact.

...Hi again, This is a woman with a whole lot of problems it seems. She is an abusive cruel person, and if you ask me given to violence. Best to keep some distance between she and thee "o). Bad things happen to folks like her, the emus may get together and take her hostage. She best better be careful. Take it easy.

...Hi there cream97, It's hard when you live in an apartment building, because you can hear a lot without even listening. The sound just travels and you hear it, stero, television. I live in a duplex and I can hear them a lot of the time upstairs. Once, because they have teenage or young adult children, one of their friends was sitting on the porch with the radio or cd player as loud as he could get it. So I went to the door and I asked him if he could hear my television set, he said no. I said to him, well I can hear your music, can we try to equalize this, you don't hear my television I don't hear your music. Fair enough? He turned it down. Like Rodney King said, can't we all just get along? "o) I try to endure, sometimes it gets to be much. Take care. Hope downstairs stays empty for a good while for you. Take care, thanks for sharing.

...Hi dorannmwin, I am for some kind of action, not law, where all of these loud rowdy, don't need a microphone, I'm sorry to say, people would be convinced to go to this nice section of town, and live together. Where they could make all the noise they want. They could have signs if they want, "the louder the better", posted all around the neighborhood. In fact I might just write my congressman, and ask him, couldn't towns apportion off sections for those who like noise, what's wrong with it? I know somebodies rights would be violated? Probably the dogs who live down the street would start howling because of the decibals from the loud people. I am having fun here at your expense and I apologize. It's flustrating, but we shall endure until the change comes along. Take care and thanks for an interesting response.

...Hi there Jet3010, Welcome to the ranch, it's a great neighborhood, enjoy "o). Well I was sitting here watching my television, and working on the computer, listening to the dogs and the humans upstairs, making all kinds of bumping against the walls and rolling on the floor sounds, that sometimes shake the house. So I said to myself, I wonder if the other people on mylot put up with the same crazy actions of people they live around. You have to hold your peace at times and control the urge to call the police on them for distrubing the peace, and then, that only makes it worse, then they scratch your car like they already did some time ago. Can't prove it, but the police said nobody would just walk up, off the street into the parking lot we have, and scratch the car, it was personal and it was them, Low life. But what goes around comes around, they both lost their jobs at the same time. Not wishimg ill on people but you should not do bad things to others for no reason. Thanks for your response. Hope they calm down where you are. Take care.

...Hi lizzyt2007, That's very nice of your mom not to force the issue, I can understand why she doesn't, with the economy the way it is. Good payers are hard to find especially if they don't have jobs. The people upstairs both lost their jobs and owe the landlady thousands of dollars. She is always outside their door trying to get them to give her a check, She is too nice, but also afraid if she forces them to move, they will destroy her property and they probably would. I would suggest you get ear plugs but you want to hear your child, so that wouldn't work. Good luck, maybe they will move on their own. Take care. Thanks for your reply.
