living in an aprtment sucks when....

[Gibson486]

the guy above does not seem to remember that people live below him. WTF....it sounds like this guy is about 400lbs with every step he takes....but he is actually around 150 pounds. Why can't he just sit down for 30 f'n minutes. I no longer need an alarm clock because this guy keeps me up all night. I swear, it sounds like he loves doing jumping jacks through out his whole apartment. I talked this guy one and he just gives me a "well tough" attitude". When will resorting to retaliation be justified?

 

[hiromizu]

Walk loudly all over the ceiling and see if he likes that. Then give him the "well tough" attitude. Then he'll think you're nuts.

bang on the ceiling with a broom

Is he actually being unreasonable, or do you just have no sound insulation? He has every right to walk around whenever he wants to.

 

[Bibble]

I think someone once posted in a thread similar to this one a system that shakes the supports of the ceiling/floor with bass. I'd say you set that up and use it when he is being particularly loud.

Or you might just have to tough it out/move.

Put a dart board on the ceiling and practice, practice, practice

punch a hole through the ceiling with a broom

Better approach. Stance of dominance.

the nice thing about living in an apartment is that you can pack up and move.

could be worse....you could be hearing the sounds of moaning sexual ecstasy mixed with clucking of chickens.

someone with absolutely no musical talent at all living above me has been trying to learn 'in the hall of the mountain king' on piano for the past 2 weeks. it's painful

OP, just be glad you don't also have construction going on nearby (or in the building). Our landlord was redoing the plumbing in the apartments after one of the bathrooms overflowed and broke a giant hole in the floor to the apartment below. Well, this apparently required them redoing the concrete floor. My roommate at that time was up late and was sleeping in, when they started jackhammering the floor right outside his door. To make matters worse, this was the area between our two bedrooms, the bathroom, and the kitchen and living room, so he couldn't even get out of his bedroom.

They've been putting up houses behind the one we're renting, and some dumbass decided that 7 AM Sunday morning it was a good idea to be working. I think that was actually the day after Halloween.

We're dealing with the same thing at my place...except it's all girls above us.

We've decided that they cartwheel from one part of the room to the other.

I'll never forget living in a south Florida apartment with my second wife.

There was a third floor apartment above us that were smokers.

Every 5 minutes around the clock they opened and closed the sliding door to the balcony area.

It had a rough sound that was annoying and loud as fuck.

Couldn't wait to get the fuck out of there.

A shame because it was a nice apartment.

There was a fat c*nt who lived above me for awhile that seriously had a 24/7 party lifestyle. She would constantly be up and moving no matter what time of day it was. She'd constantly get home around 2 or 3 am and start playing music.

True story, one time she ruined a really good album for me. I heard her get boned for an hour to Beck's Sea Change, which if you've heard it, is NOT an album you'd ever really want to have sex to. In fact I'd go as far as to say it ranks up there as one of the worst albums to fuck to ever. The moans.. were just not human. It sounded like someone was slowly putting a 2x4 into a cow's asshole or something. Just... wretched moaning, it gives me a derection just thinking about it.

I went up there at 3:30am one morning and unloaded on her disgusting whale face. I guess her other neighbors complained or something because she disappeared shortly after that. I swear I thought she died. She had one of those little piece of shit yippy dogs that would run across the floor at the first sign of any noise. It was so quiet for like 3 months. Someone else has to live up there now because the sounds are completely different. Shite insulation above me.

I try not to complain about other people's noise too much since I play guitar and that shit has to be loud. I keep my playing to very reasonable times and try not to be an asshole about it. I give my # out to neighbors and tell them to call if it ever bothers them. I just couldn't take that bitch any longer.

Maybe it's Jill, the master of unlocking.

Holy shit, sorry for you, but that is funny as hell.

I've got some neighbors that have what I believe is the most annoying dog in the world. It's one of the ugliest dogs I've EVER seen and it barks at fucking EVERYTHING. I swear to God, this thing barks all motherfucking day nonstop. And this weekend I think they had some guests over... that had another dog that was just annoying. So instead of listening to one annoying yippy dog barking, I got to listen to two annoying yippy dogs barking at each other.

All you need to do is take out the ceiling when he's not in. He can't live in your apartment because he has no floor but you can extend your ceiling higher. He's trespassing if he comes back into it.

I like this solution.

[darkxshade]

I'm sorry OP but it's your fault. You should have simultaneously rented the apartments above, below and next to you so that you can ensure complete and total silence however and whenever you want.

I hate the paper thin walls of an apartment
