I feel like I'm a grumpy old man sometimes. My neighbours have guests and they're so loud, talking loud, yelling and juhuu-ing out of nowhere. On a weekday night! I've always had a hard time with them. They're just clueless. I have to wear earplugs a lot of my nights because of them. I feel like a dope for putting up with it.

Also, it makes me feel a bit lonely. They're around my age. But act like they're 17. Why can't people be considerate when living in apartments? I, for my part, sure have been considerate for such a long time. Do they think no one lives next to them? It's this egocentric behavior that annoys me the most. Like I'm nothing. That I don't existent and they don't need to consider me.

Man, it must be so nice to live lives where you just think of yourself - no overthinking and overanalyzing - like a child just blurting out whatever you feel like. And then live their whole lives never getting to know how much they annoy the people around them. Christ!!

I don't know if I'm overreacting or not. Just frustrates me.

I've had to deal with crappy neighbors ever since I've been young. A rental expert once told me, "whenever you move, you're inheriting someone else's headache."

I've lived with earplugs in for most of my life. I can sympathise with you!

Call the cops or complain to the landlord...do the other neighbors complain as well? Maybe they can complain too.

[Crypts_Of_The_Mind]

Yes, it is illegal to kill your neighbors, lol. I can see why you may want to though. I have had neighbors like this. I called the landlord. If the landlord refused to do anything, I called the cops and also informed them I tried telling my landlord but he/she wouldn't do anything. Telling them that generally makes sure the landlord pays attention to you in future, because they can get in serious trouble. So that's the way I would handle it. (Be sure if you call cops it is during the time your city or county sets aside as "do not disturb" hours.)

I would check to see if there are any clauses in your lease that would punish somebody for making excessive disturbances or having the cops called on them a set amount of times and use that to your advantage to have them evicted.

For example, the lease at the apartments that I stay at clearly state that if the cops are called on you 3 times, you are evicted; regardless of the reasoning behind why they were called.

Look for anything that you could use to get them kicked out so that you don't have to deal with them anymore. If that isn't possible and if reporting them to the landlord or calling the cops doesn't do anything, than it might be best to simply find another apartment to move into that actually respects their tenets.

When I read the title of this thread I was like O_O, but then I read your post and can see it's your way of letting out frustration.

We have neighbours who fight regularly, screaming at each other like little children for the most petty reasons. I'm not exaggerating when I say they were once fighting in the middle of the night because one of them wanted the television on and the other person wanted it off. If they can't handle something like that without descending into a shouting match, how will they handle serious problems? It frustrates and exhausts everybody in my house.

Unfortunately, we can't control who our neighbours are. I echo what people have said above about complaining to the landlord. I wish you peace.

[MickeyCheeky]

I understand your frustration. Sorry to hear that.. are there any rules in that zone that don't allow for this kind of behavior?

[MatBell]

Thanks everyone! It's so good to know I can turn to this place for some understanding ♥️

[pachyderm]

Is it still illegal to murder your neighbors?

[unaluna]

It would cut down posts to this site by i'd guess five percent!

[QueenOfStars]

Well, if your neighbours are humans then yes. But if they are aliens just call the government guys, they will do it for you.

I'm not really sure if they are human or not..

Lol too funny

Annoying neighbors are so darn hard to exist with. And it seems like most neighbors are annoying. I don't know what people are thinking, or if they're just inconsiderate.

[Sunflower123]

Good luck with your annoying neighbors. You are a good, considerate guy. I'd guess one or two complaints with the landlord or police may go a long way towards shutting it down. Good luck.

Or better yet, hire some mafia hackers to plant fake terrorism threats onto their computers so they are taken away forever. Problem solved.

Could get you into other trouble though and might backfire but hey, if you want something bad enough there is always a way to get it haha

Right?

I have a cynical dark side that I reveal on occasion. I just don't reveal it around most people because I would rather not scare people away or have the feds called to my apartment or something lol.

I know the feeling...sometimes it's hard to know if it's you or them. I went to bed many a night fantasizing about knocking on my upstairs neighbor's door, shooting him in the face, and going back to bed.

I count myself lucky that he moved out a few years ago and two iterations of replacements have been far quieter and more considerate but I'm always paranoid...the apartment next door appears to have vacated and I'm dreading to find out who's moving in.

[unaluna]

Sometimes they come back...

Last week in the laundry room this guy says to me, can i ask you a question? Im like sure what? He goes, how long have you lived here? Im like, ten years. He goes, you werent here on 9/11? I go, yeah, i was; i moved out and came back. He goes, i used to live next door to you. Blah blah blah, and i end with, look im sorry if i ever yelled at ya (i had just started on meds that summer). So you never know!

Ahh.. I have always insisted on being on the top floor for noise reasons. But then, one day the guy below me moved in and he was crazy loud. He and his drunk friends went out on the balcony at 2 am and talked all night. I complained and he did it again. This was winter I could NOT believe he was out on the balcony when it was 20 degrees out. But then, in the summer.. I got him. Him and his friends came into the apartment at 2 AM and opened all the windows and put on the TV blaring (they were drunk).

I called the cops. The cops quietly parked and came walking up observing the blaring tv and the drunk people watching it.

They told them to shut the windows and turn it down and they did. Later I put in the police report to the condo and ... this guy sold.

HA HA... this isn't a flop house.

What annoys me is that I always seem to have to go it alone. No one wants to join me in fighting. They just put in ear plugs.

[unaluna]

Balcony talkers are the worst! The sound is just AMPLIFIED!

[Shazerac]

Unfortunately it is illegal to murder your neighbors but I hear you. Bad neighbors suck!
