I've been feeling that way for a while, but more so now.

Meow! This won’t come as a surprise to you, but I could’ve written this.
I get cigarette smoke from people like you do and also plumbing noise. This apartment building seems to have walls made out of cardboard. I have the same problem hearing my upstairs neighbor taking a shower in the middle of the night. The guy above me is a night owl and has this weird habit of turning on the water full blast for about three seconds. It’s so LOUD! Then turning it off for about 30 seconds. He repeats this pattern 3 to 4 times before he finally runs the shower normally. It’s annoying. It sometimes wakes me up and it will last about 15 minutes. This is the only routine this guy has. Everything else is random times, leaving and coming home at different times. And he has overnight guests a lot too. Plus, he’s very heavy footed, so I hear every step. I don’t think he has any rugs so I hear everything. He also slams the sliding doors open and closed.
This makes me hate where I live, too. But unless I can live in a soundproof building, which I could never afford, I’m always going to hear somebody’s crap. I don’t know where I can go either. I’m very sound sensitive and have good hearing which is a curse in this building. It seems to be made to amplify sound. And they started putting in laminate flooring instead of carpet, even if someone is below them. Efff, the landlord doesn’t have to live with it.
The guy next to me sleeps late, and I hear him snoring. His bedroom is next to my kitchen, but since I’m an early bird, I’m considerate enough not to run the dishwasher, garbage disposal, or bang pots and pans around that might wake him up. I wait until about 9 at the earliest. Sadly, most people don’t seem to give a crap about others.
They also raised the rent again after not doing so because of Covid. That says a lot about our system that millions of people had to die to temporarily halt rent increases.
I remember this is where you mostly post so I might follow this thread just to see how you’re doing, day-to-day.
