i seriously have THE noisiest neighbors a girl could ask for. i’ve lived in apartments for about 8 years now and i have NEVER had neighbors this noisy. to begin with, they’re some of the tallest, heaviest, and well…just plain biggest people in the world. no, seriously…like, the island where they come from, people are just bigger. we share a stairwell that leads up to our front doors. they are incapable of walking up the stairs. they stomp. louder and louder and LOUDER with each step as if their legs are getting heavier and heavier with each ascending stair. while i realize their legs may, in fact, feel heavier with each stair, i’d like to point out that there’s only like ten stairs to begin with. once they reach the top of the stairs, they noisily fumble with their keys in the lock until it opens, then they proceed to slam their door with such strength that it knocks pictures down on a bookcase in my living room.
as annoying and irritating as all of that is, i can live with those things. i made the choice to live in an apartment. i realize that living in an apartment means that you’re going to have someone on the other side of your living room wall and (gasp!) that means you might hear them occasionally.
the thing that makes me want to pull every hair out of my head is their bass. 24/7 i can hear bump bump bump bump bump. the only wall i share with them is in my living room, yet i can hear and feel the bump from every room in my apartment. just the other day i was in the shower and could hear it. yes. IN THE SHOWER. with WATER RUNNING. that’s absolutely absurd! i finally called my apartment office yesterday morning to put in a formal complaint. the office put a letter on their door asking them to be considerate of their neighbors. you’d think that might deter them from turning their bass up so loud? no. right now i’m being serenaded by some asshat playing guitar hero in surround sound with the bass all the way up. joy. i’d hate to become that neighbor that bitches about everything, but the office is definitely gonna hear about this tomorrow.
