        The matching process for American medical schools is not fun. Anyhow, she is finishing a year of pediatrics before starting her dermatology residency in a different location. The dermatology residency is in the same place that we previously lived and where I worked, so it didn't make sense for me to quit my job and give up our place just to both move back here in a year.

          As far as these kinds of notes go, this one is actually kind of funny and I don't think it comes off as rude at all. I live under the college in "Stomp the Yard" and I feel her pain. Though, admittedly, I will not be leaving a note and will just let the hate flow through me.

          [–]thegoldenmandenis 7 points8 points ago

          It's written funnily but that doesn't mean it's not unreasonable. It seems like she (assuming here like you are, but it does look more like female handwriting) hasn't ever lived in a flat surrounded by other people before, because the noises she describes are just things you have to put up with if you live in a building where noises are transmitted easily. She's not describing super late nights, loud parties, unreasonable levels of shouting or anything like that.

          What is she complaining about? Sex noises, dropping stuff (which of course is something people only do on purpose to annoy their neighbours) and the sounds of walking around. She's saying there's loads of the walking and jumping sounds, but such sounds are difficult to interpret and easily misinterpreted - when people walk around their house, they're taking a lot of steps and if you notice those steps, they can be annoying. But none of that stuff is stuff people don't have a right to do, and I think it's really unfair for a neighbour to make people feel really self conscious just for doing normal, everyday things in their own home. The privacy you have in your house is largely an illusion and it's a bit twatty for someone to shatter that illusion.

          [–]rageingnonsense 3 points4 points ago

          I've been on both ends of this. The conclusion I have come to from it is that it is unreasonable to expect to never hear impact noise, but reasonable enough to expect a neighbor to at least not walk around in boots or high heels at "quiet times".

          On one end, I had a neighbor below me who would violently bang on his ceiling even if he heard my computer chair roll a bit as I was getting in and out of it.

          On the other end, I have a neighbor above me who would walk around in high heels at 6:30am, waking me up.

          We all have to co-exist in the building. That means tolerating a reasonable level of noise, as well as minimizing the noise you make to a reasonable level. No one should expect complete silence, but no one should have to deal with a dance party either.

          [–]mon_monx3 1 point2 points ago

          While that's great and all, you can't really judge the degree of annoying-ness of the noises if you're not hearing them yourself. It's entirely possible that these people are really being obnoxiously loud, beyond the degree of normalcy.

          [–]Dildo_Ball_Baggins 9 points10 points ago

          You should considered playing "Thump the Ceiling."

          Or every time you hear bumps from above in a certain pattern just repeat them back, like a parrot.

          [–]HecticHeretic 0 points1 point ago

          That just results in more complex patterns after a while.

          [–]Chucke4711 2 points3 points ago

          My old upstairs neighbors used to make a noise that sounded like someone dropping a baseball. Thunkthunkthunkthunkthunk over and over and over again.

          I never figured out what the noise was, but once I went into their apartment to use the phone, because I had managed to lock myself out while going to get the mail, and it turned out, they were hoarders. They only lived there about 6 months, but there were 5 couches stacked up, among stacks and stacks of newspapers in their living room. I'm surprised the apartment never collapsed on us.

          The neighbors after them were quieter, except on Saturday nights, when they'd get drunk and fight and beat each other. We'd call the cops, but it never did any good, until the time she threw him down the (outdoor) steps. She got arrested that night. They moved soon after.

          [–]GoldenShackles 10 points11 points ago

          A few years back my downstairs neighbors were really loud, playing music with enough bass to make me literally sick to my stomache.

          After a couple times asking them to keep it down I began simply seeing how many golf balls I could keep bouncing on the kitchen floor, and for how long. They got the hint.

          [–]sleepydaimyo 1 point2 points ago

          Though, admittedly, I will not be leaving a note and will just let the hate flow through me.

          This is what I did, until my neighbour above me complained about my ceiling fan (which came with the apartment btw) "shaking her floor," and got a threatening note about my husband's alarm clock going off because you know, he has to get up at 8am to work.

          The repair person came to check the bathroom ceiling fan, and couldn't see anything wrong with it, btw, so the person was either overly sensitive, or just an angry person in general.

          [–]earthtoandy 35 points36 points ago

          Ahh this gives me terribly fond memories of my old upstairs neighbor, Stompy McThunderfoot.

            better a playful note then a visit from the police. seriously when did leaving a note automatically become passive aggressive

            [–]fantasycreeps 14 points15 points ago

            Our neighbors that live above us have a huge dog that goes apeshit every time they come home and it sounds like someone is taking clogging lessons. We didn't leave them a note but since we know their address we signed them up for free dog training literature in the mail. I don't think they got the hint so now we just send them gay porn.

            [–]andrewms 3 points4 points ago

            So if I piss off my neighbors, I might get free porn? Sounds like a good deal.

            [–]samuswashere 15 points16 points ago

            A visit from the police for walking too heavy? The reason it's passive aggressive is because there is no specific complaint, they are just saying that it's too much noise in general. At least if they knocked on the door it would given some sort of clue as to what is causing the issue. How is someone supposed to respond to that? Tip-toe around their own house 24/7? It's ridiculous.

            [–]hitchcocklikedblonds 5 points6 points ago

            If you don't want to hear people walking rent the top floor.

            Seriously, our downstairs neighbor has come up at 9:30 in the morning to complain we were stomping around when we were sitting on the couch chatting.

            [–]MaleSeahorse 2 points3 points ago

            Heh. When I recently moved from a townhouse where I only shared one wall to a full-on apartment complex, I figured I'd choose the top floor so that I wouldn't have to deal with this shit. Didn't work. I can hear my downstairs neighbors (presumably) stomping around. I cringe when I think of how I must sound to them. I do try to keep my stomping to a minimum.

            [–]hitchcocklikedblonds 0 points1 point ago

            That's all you can do, try not to stomp or at least keep it to reasonable hours.

            Our upstairs neighbor has a rowing machine or something, but as long as it's not late at night or early in the morning, we're cool. It's part of apartment living. I like our apartment, I like our neighborhood, I can deal with some occasional thumping because it's just part of it. Besides, we live in a huge apartment complex in Korea. It's ALWAYS loud. Tons of cars coming and going, tons of people in the shared hallway, kids playing etc.

            We've taught our son not to stomp or bang on the floor. We try to be quiet and we're very quiet early in the morning and late at night. I feel like that's the most you can expect in a complex.

            Our downstairs neighbor is a drunk. He gets trashed Saturday night and comes up and complains at the slightest noise at 10 Sunday morning. I'm sorry dude, I'm not going to hammer stuff or stomp around, but I'm also not going to stop my life because you're trashed.

            [–]YawnSpawner 1 point2 points ago

            Cement floors are the answer, haven't heard anything from above or below since buying a condo in a high rise. I can sometimes barely hear sounds through the walls, but it's really muffled.

            [–]xkleenexk 0 points1 point ago

            You are trying to make the noise level a black and white issue, either your being super loud or your tip-toeing. How about somewhere in between? Not tip-toeing but not making a wanton amount of noise by stomping around your apartment? Complaint seems pretty specific to me, the person is saying they're making a shitload of noise walking around the house. Im not suggesting people have to tip-toe around, but I have definitely had people living above me who sound like they're playing Dance dance revolution while they're making breakfast. Just be a little conscious of the fact that you live upstairs and don't tromp around if you don't have to. Maybe its just a shitty loud apartment, Im just speculating and I dont know whos in the right, but it really isn't that hard to be conscientious about things like that when you share a building with people.

            Apparently reddit has some vendetta against leaving a note even though most of the people on here don't like confrontation of any kind (see socially awkward penguin meme). Leaving a polite, playful note is an easy way of communicating with a neighbor who might not be home when your home.

            And if someone's making noise past curfew (which most places have) then yeah, someone will call the police on any pretense. 'I think theres a fight going on upstairs, the upstairs neighbors are drunk and being unruly,' etc etc. Ive seen people get boned for smoking weed, drinking underage, or get a 1000 dollar noise violation ticket when they weren't really doing much wrong, there's a lot of unfortunate things that can happen there even if you weren't doing anything wrong. I've seen that happen many times.

            [–]samuswashere 0 points1 point ago

            If the way you act normally is making a crap-ton of noise, then yes, reducing that noise would feel like tip-toeing. Some people are heavy walkers and some are light-footed. I live in a building with creaky floors and sometimes I do a workout video. I'm sure it makes tons of noise, but too bad (although I won't do it after 10 pm out of courtesy). I can't turn down the volume on my floor.

            Now, if the note said something like, there was a lot of noise last Saturday night around 11, that would clearly be a specific incident and might be an issue that can be fixed with a little consideration. However, if your complaint is, you sound like a heard of elephants all the time, then you are essentially requesting that they walk more lightly all the time, in other words, tip-toe.

            Lastly, if they have an issue with noise, then the neighbors are clearly home. Talking with them about it at least allows it to be a two-way conversation.

            [–]xkleenexk -1 points0 points ago

            /sigh. you're being dumb. Im working under the assumption that the upstairs neighbors are being inconsiderately noisy all the time. Its not that hard to be considerate of your neighbors and not stomp on your fucking floor for no reason. It is NOT asking someone to tip-toe around their apartment like a mouse, its asking them not to be excessively loud and have a small amount of consideration for the people around them. Whether they are light-footed or heavy-footed has no bearing on the situation, only whether they are excessively noisy and inconsiderate. Im also assuming because the note was written that these people arent just doing a work out video, they're not being conscientious neighbors and making a lot of noise all the time. This totally warrants a shut the fuck up.

            I don't know why you seem to think its sooooo difficult to walk a bit more quietly. And it makes no difference whether there is a specific event or whether its all the time. It seems from the note that it is an egregious amount of noise

            [–]earthtoandy 1 point2 points ago

            It's not ridiculous. The truth is you can't hear yourself and sometimes all it takes is someone mentioning it to make the person realize this or that. She even seems to come from a place where she acknowledges there will be noise, it just seems excessive. If i received a note like this I would think "Oh crap is there anything I am doing that is contributing to this? Or is it just how it is?" If its just how it is, fine, it seems like the note writer is open to that possibility in the tone. The thing is the one making the noise has no idea how much noise they make and the downstairs neighbor has no idea if its you sitting on your couch or what... thats why broaching the subject is totally justifiable.

            I live in an old building where sound travels easily and I share the opinion that in an Apartment its just how it is, deal with it for the most part. But theres a limit and its totally in everyone right to bring it up as long as expectations are reasonable. My last neighbor was amazingly loud while walking, always sounded like they were moving and dropping very heavy things, etc. My current neighbor? I can still hear his footsteps (old building) and yet it is clear it is normal vs the last tenant.

            [–]samuswashere 0 points1 point ago

            its totally in everyone right to bring it up as long as expectations are reasonable.

            I agree, I just don't think that it's "reasonable" to expect someone to be able to reduce the amount of noise all the time as a blanket request. If the note referred to specific incidences (you seem to make a lot of noise late on Saturday nights), then there would be something to go on, but if they are making the noise all the time, then by extension, you are asking them to change their everyday behavior. I wouldn't classify that as reasonable unless they were doing something specifically against apartment rules like playing music at very loud volumes, which would still just be a matter of turning down a volume knob, not feeling like you're unable to walk normally in your own house.

            [–]just_bob 2 points3 points ago

            Because if you leave a note on a door, how much harder would it be to simply knock and talk with the tenant.

            Passive aggressive cowardice at it's finest.

            [–]bwrap 20 points21 points ago

            A note is much less likely to end in a fist fight

            [–]ucbiker 14 points15 points ago

            Passive-aggressiveness needs an aggressive element. This note was just asking politely to try and keep the noise down. Passive-aggressive would've been if like the note had read "Hi Neighbors! Try not stomping around like a herd of fat cows you tubby bitches :)"

            [–]cc81 6 points7 points ago

            No, that is not passive-aggressiveness. That is aggressive.

            Passive-aggressive is when the victim is not necessarily aware what is happening. For example if the two were paired up for some clean up around the outdoor apartment area then the passive aggressive one might do their work incredibly slow or whine constantly due to being angry for them being loud in their apartment.

            [–]ucbiker -1 points0 points ago

            Actually you're right, that's what passive-aggressiveness is. I still don't think this note is passive-aggressive though.

              Not everyone spends all of their time sitting around at home like you do.

              Also, showing up at someone's door can and most likely would be taken both as intrusive and unnecessary. Either they will respond positively/apologetically and a note would have sufficed, or they will respond negatively and you're now in a verbal/physical fight over noise.

              [–]just_bob 5 points6 points ago

              Really? Because i've Knocked on a door, and had mine knocked on as well.

              [–]Bored_At_Night 5 points6 points ago

              That fits pretty well into the first of the two options. So, yes. Really. If you need someone to tell you face-to-face for you to understand what they are saying you are incompetent.

                that doesn't make the note inherently passive aggressive, its a perfectly valid means of communicating with someone.

                You cannot call the police because your upstairs neighbor is walking. I promise you the police would not be pleased with you. There is a reason that the apartments on the top floor cost more. If you can't handle people walking above you pay for a better apartment!

                When I was in my old apartment, I had a downstairs neighbor who figured that anytime during daylight was free reign for them to turn on their turbo bass and shake the entire god damn building. No joke, for several hours a day at least, my apartment did nothing but shake. I don't know what about it does this, but the constant vibrations made me really tense and anxious.

                DRILL A SMALL HOLE IN THE FLOOR. PUMP ETHER IN. AFTER TEN MINUTES, ENTER THEIR APARTMENT AND TURN OFF THE STEREO.

                THEY'LL GET THE MESSAGE AFTER ABOUT THE THIRD TIME THEY WAKE UP TO SILENCE.

                [–]Turnip_Blaster 1 point2 points ago

                Where can i purchase some of this ether?

                [–]Veskah 0 points1 point ago

                For Science?

                [–]Turnip_Blaster 0 points1 point ago

                Drugging my neighbors can fall under the umbrella of scientific research if I don't giggle too much and take meticulous notes. Although I am pretty clumsy so I'd probably release a bunch of ether into my room during the process. Hopefully it will be enough to give me a wicked buzz help with the sciencing, but not enough to knock me out.

                [–]johnnymetoo 0 points1 point ago

                I actually thought of doing exactly this, with my upstairs neighbor. No music here, but symptons exactly as described in that letter of the OP.

                [–]I_TYPE_IN_ALL_CAPS 0 points1 point ago

                ETHER IS HEAVIER THAN AIR. THE POLICE REPORT WOULD BE HILAAAAARIOUS.

                [–]Alphaeno 4 points5 points ago

                It's a psychological effect and there is scientific data and papers on it. From what I recall, low vibrations make people anxious and paranoid.

                [–]DomoInMySoup 0 points1 point ago

                Actually now that you mention it, I do recall something similar to this being investigated in some sort of paranormal research.

                In short, they did tests in these "paranormal" areas where people kept reporting feelings of uneasiness and the like, and it turns out in most situations they found evidence of ultra low frequency vibrations or something.

                [–]washboard 1 point2 points ago

                Hans Zimmerman used this effect in "Joker (Why So Serious)" for the Dark Knight to create that weird uneasiness and anxiousness that the Joker so embodied. Listen to the clip at 3:27 with high quality earbuds. Lower quality headphones just won't put out the lower frequency tones that create the effect.

                [–]Alphaeno -1 points0 points ago

                [–]rageingnonsense 0 points1 point ago

                I have an upstairs neighbor like this. Her TV goes on to ridiculous levels, and it sounds like Charlie Brown's teacher is in my apartment. It's like "MWUAAHHH MWUAAHHH MWUAAAAAAAAHHHHH". Goes right though my skull. Triggers my headaches.

                [–]rhiaaryx 0 points1 point ago

                Yes! We have an elderly couple living below us and one day my roommate put her shoes on, forgot something in her room and walked back to get it then went downstairs... and proceeded to get bitched at by their daughter who was visiting for walking loudly.

                There are people who really do walk super loud (or drag their feet, ugh!), my roommate isn't one of them :/

                The couple who actually live there are really nice, though!

                [–]Hlaskios 1 point2 points ago

                you're going to hear your neighbors.

                As long as it's not between the hours of 10pm and 8am, my apartment complex's policy on too much noise is "So what? They pay rent, too."

                [–]Spartacus891 0 points1 point ago

                We lived under the landlord and his four kids who, I assume, were all narcoleptic. Because these little pricks spent all day falling down.

                Or they were dead-lifting, I have no idea.

                I don't get it either. Just about every female I know has this stylish, yet neat handwriting, and they right write fast.

                [–]enginedriver 8 points9 points ago

                Are you serious? It's not even joined-up! Plus it's that one-size-fits-all style that is really simple. It's actually pretty bad handwriting! Not trying to be a hater, but it's really not very accomplished.

                A - no it isn't. at all.

                B - I don't think he meant digital fonts, but was just searching for the word "hand".

                [–]fuzzycuffs 4 points5 points ago

                I knew girls in high school and college that had the exact same handwriting style. How was it developed in such a way that it sprung out of no where across multiple groups?

                [–]the-knife 7 points8 points ago

                I have to disagree. I can't help but think only Americans think this is "fucking nice". I've seen way better penmanship. Writing that makes capital letters larger than lower-case letters. Connected letters. Spacing.

                [–]cc81 3 points4 points ago

                As a Swede I thought it was very nice and easy to read.

                [–]danielvutran -1 points0 points ago

                Americans? What? Lol...... What's with people assuming Americans are retards? Way to think with the hivemind.

                [–]the-knife 3 points4 points ago

                This is classic American handwriting.

                I didn't call Americans "retarded", just that the standard writing style it's definitely not the nicest and most beautiful handwriting there is.

                Read this blog post for starters.

                [–]ndchristie 0 points1 point ago

                this is not "classic american" by any means - the upward slant, inverted W path, narrow characters, "chinny" Y, "jumping" K and the universally high x-height are all very uncharacteristic of american handwriting.

                of course at this point with penmanship being such a tertiary topic in schools, most personal handwriting is very divergent from the geographic norms. this looks like a typical brit's handwriting, or possibly a scandinavian's, but because nobody is actually trained to write these days this person could as easily be from johannesburg or brisbane or los angeles or anywhere else in the world.

                  I went to ask my upstairs neighbor to turn down his music once. He threatened to beat the shit out of me if I ever knocked on his door again.

                  [–]rageingnonsense 1 point2 points ago

                  I'd go to the landlord and tell them that the neighbor threatened you with violence.

                  Or duct tape a subwoofer to your ceiling.

                  [–]Theblueportal 0 points1 point ago

                  Oh yeah. It was a while ago. Police were called multiple times on that guy. He eventually got evicted but it took forever and I had to threaten to move out myself first. Now I live on the top floor. Upstairs neighbors? Never again.

                  Aggressive aggressive wouldn't be a note. It'd be a knock on the door and then a "Shut the fuck up or the police get called."
                  Then it'd be a brick through the window a week later.

                  I'm jealous envious of uber-girly penmanship. I think I have a bit of dysgraphia and therefore I feel my handwriting looks horrendous and hardly legible.

                  [–]nimrod1109 3 points4 points ago

                  As someone with dysgraphia it sucks.

                  [–]devourer09 0 points1 point ago

                  I think soon with computers handwriting may become an outdated mode and therefore dysgraphia will not be such a big deal.

                  [–]nimrod1109 0 points1 point ago

                  Yes and no. Dysgraphia does not only effect handwriting. I have trouble spelling even the most simple words at times. Autocorrect has gotten better in the past few years, but their are times when I confuse even autocorrect.

                  I had to learn to do most math in my head. I can not follow a math question on paper because of my handwriting. I cant tell you how often I get questions wrong because a teacher is do lazy to try and decipher my work, or get pissed at me for not showing work. Its a lose lose.

                  If I have to write an essay on paper it takes me 10 times as long, just so I can get it legible. Even though I have been on a 504 plan since middle school teachers tell me its my fault, I need to try harder. College profesors from my experience could care less about 504 even if by law they need to follow it. Ive have a prof refuse to follow, by not giving me a copy of notes. Its getting easier but by no means is it going to not be a problem.

                  As of now College Board does not allow computers on SAT, AP, and ACT testing. I hurt my chances at a good college because of this.

                  [–]devourer09 0 points1 point ago

                  That sucks. I had no idea that there were elements of dyslexia within dysgraphia. Yeah, on every syllabus I get for my classes there are always talking about how they will provide assistance for people who need help. A professor refusing the comply however is outrageous. I think I would have gone to the department chair and told him what's up. I'm just amazed at how much disability assistance and access is built into our everyday society.

                  [–]nimrod1109 0 points1 point ago

                  Their is a tiny bit of over lap. Luckily I have no problem reading. I have always been a high leveled reader in school.

                  In college I had some amazing counselors who did step up and get me the help I needed. Unfortionitly you can become "that kid". Some profs would look for reasons to take points off since you made his life more difficult, you know since it is so difficult to email your prewritten notes to a student.

                  In highschool my counselors were terrible. College board allows some accommodation to be allowed on AP tests, if you have been on 504 for a while and it is documented. My counselors forgot to turn in mine, and a friends paperwork. They didnt tell us until the day before testing. All year we had been practicing our essays with extra time. We didnt do to good...

                  It isn't. It addresses the problem at hand. Passive aggressive would be if they left an angry note about something completely unrelated

                  I really do worry about the kids nowadays. Whatever happenned to a) living with noise in an apartment building from time to time or b) knocking on the person's door and asking the individual to keep it down?

                  [–]rageingnonsense -1 points0 points ago

                  It's about balance. For instance; I know my neighbor can't float and I'll hear her walking, but she doesn't have to necessarily do that while wearing heels at 7am.

                    Yes, because the writer is disguising all the sarcastic criticism with cute and random humour about ponies and Spider-Man. The polite, non-dick thing to do is to say that they sound very loud and to ask them to be more careful. Please.

                    [–]SMTRodent 2 points3 points ago

                    It would also be polite and useful to say what times on which days have been particularly loud, to narrow down the causes.

                    Gee, there sure are a lot of posts that are just pictures of handwritten notes... Well I'm sure they are all real.

                    That's hilarious. Kudos to the clever writer. And they were really nice too.

                    So it's not signed, but wouldn't it have to be the people downstairs?

                    Awesome. Earlier this year the neighbours upstairs were real loud when they were getting... intimate. They've moved out now but it was beyond horrible to listen to. You'd hear this squeaking and stupidly pause whatever you were doing to try and figure out what it was. A wounded animal? Somebody's kids? What is that?

                    Oh, it's the sound his girlfriend makes when she's approaching orgasm. And then the screaming starts.

                    And there's no good way to deal with this. Anything I do to let them know I can hear them is simply ego fodder for him. Plus what're they gonna do? Stop doing it? Ask me for my schedule so they make sure they do it when I'm not in. I could call the cops but imagine the bragging rights that bestows on him. "I fucked her so hard, I got arrested".

                    Of all the terrible options for the person who suffers from the noisy folk upstairs, this note is one of the best.

                    Jealous of the mini pony and would like to meet it? Woah now. There's more here than I thought.

                    I don't like the way this person writes. The lowercase letters are too big!

                    I used to live next to some very noisy people. They would have sex a lot. But it never seemed to last more than two minutes. I didn't have the heart to leave a note like this, I figured they were probably miserable enough.

                    [–]akuzin 1 point2 points ago

                    This person sounds annoying. I was playing my music very loud (18" sub in my apartment) my neighbor came down and knocked on my door and asked me to turn down the music. I did. Everything was ok. If the neighbor knows you are being loud is it not ok to tell them to keep it down a bit?

                    [–]Houdat 0 points1 point ago

                    I wouldn't even bother with leaving a note on my neighbors door. If they don't have the common decency and respect to not vacuum at 1am or scream at each other and throw stuff in the middle of the night then they sure as hell wouldn't respect anything I had to say about it.

                    [–]NewsDean 0 points1 point ago

                    I always won those battles when I worked a 4 a.m. job. Wake up, fix breakfast, perform a two-footed jump into the floor that rattles the whole building. I never considered a witty note. Could have written that without having boots on.

                    Ohh gosh I used to have an upstairs neighbor who was well one of the nicest people ever and still a dear friend but she was quite large and even just tip-toeing through her place she'd be really loud. Worst part is she got up every morning at 5:30 to get ready for work. So guess who has a permanent biological alarm clock for 5:30 now?

                    We had to leave a note for our upstairs neighbors as well. For a while things were fine, then for a month it was six hours, mid-afternoon to early evening, of near-constant heavy thudding. Two weeks into that I left a note (not nasty), got a 'sorry, we'll be quieter' in return, and no change for the final two weeks. Then one day it just reverted back to how it was before the heavy thudding.

                    They have a dog who runs around a couple times a day, but that's about it. The bigger problem is it's pretty quiet during the day, but sometimes in the middle of the night we're woken up by random heavy thudding. It's a weird situation because they're being shitty, but it doesn't seem serious enough to bring it to the attention of our building manager (a.k.a I'm telling). I'm a really light sleeper so I wear earplugs anyway, but if it wasn't for the night thudding, I really wouldn't need them since our apartment building is really quiet.

                    It's posts like these that make me so thankful to live in my own house - in the middle of nowhere. Not a neighbor in sight. I can stomp, scream, practice bagpipes, and dance nekkid in the rain and not disturb anyone!

                    where are all these people finding funny neighbors?

                    Being a passive-aggressive funny bitch....you're doing it right.

                    This is the best "Dear Neighbour" letter I have ever read. I would like to meet them. I would even bake a cake.

                    [–]FUCITADEL 0 points1 point ago

                    If it were indeed Spiderman, practicing his spidey skills, then clearly the neighbors to either side of him would be bothered, as spidey clings to walls, not the ground. Then he'd just be laying down. And that's not a super power.

                    [–]Bennethon 1 point2 points ago

                    This should go into the passive aggressive hall of fame.

                    I like how outrageous scenarios are the first thing that comes to mind in this situation. In reality they probably aren't really doing anything that crazy to make that much noise.

                    No fucking shit, it's obvious.
