Didn't get any sleep last night...

[Iris]

and neither did my lover. No, no, it's not what you think, we weren't knockin' boots all night long. He stayed over and although we had every intention of knockin' boots all night long, the couple downstairs from me beat us to it. Loudly. All night long.

Now I know you might be thinking, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em, but how the hell can you enjoy yourself with someone else screaming OH BABY YEAH THAT'S THE SPOT!!! 10 feet below you? It's distracting, comical, and you end up feeling a little embarassed just hearing it. So yeah, that was my night. Lovely no? Anyone feel like cheering me up with their stories of loud/funny/inconsiderate neighbors?

Sounds like you should try Confession to me. The priests should be working overtime today.

Deborah...

????

I don't get it. Sorry. Was that a sex before marriage thing?

 

[Blackbich]

In the apartment complex I used to live in my neighbors would fight outside at all times of the night. I heard 'motherfucker' so many times in my two months there that I cringe when I hear it now.

My roommate brings his 'friends' home and creates a sleeping problem for me.

Does these examples count??


As far as the if you can't beat them, join them saying - there's some people I'd just rather leave way the hell alone.

Earplugs are fairly effective. Also I sometimes just turn my stereo up and fight noise with noise. You can go to his place, or hop in the car and head for a motel or out into the country for a change. There's always the telephone, why not just call them and ask them to quiet down. Or you could take a shower together, the water would probably muffle the noise...and...and...etc, etc..

Somebody else's noise never stopped me from making my own.

Sure if it will make you feel better.


My former upstairs neighbour, had a girlfriend who sounded like a cheap porno movie.

On one extremely hot summer day you could hear them all over the building, and boy did she sound ridicules. In the building there are quit a lot of old people to.

The next day I talked to my retired neighbour. He thought it was his downstairs neighbour, (a very ill elderly woman), who had made the noise, because she was in pain.

When I told him who and what had actually caused the noise, he was embarrassed; apparently he had been very close to dialling 911.

Carmen, do they have trolls in Denmark?

One very warm night in April 1976, our upstairs neighbor left all the windows open and was entertaining a group. She was not at all reticent; not only was she screaming out the usual, "Oh, GAWD! I'm CUMMING!", she was also giving directions to what seemed like a cast of thousands.

It was apparently inspirational, because two couples in the next building opened their windows and let the neighbors enjoy, and even our apartment manager and his wife -- in their 70's! -- went at it.

My ex and I did too, laughing hysterically the whole time. WitchsKat was born the following January.

Carmen, do they have trolls in Denmark?

Yep, my mother-in-law is a fine example of the species.

 

[Problem Child]

I see they also have a fine sense of humor.

 

[Iris]

Which ones...the trolls or the Danes?

 

[CoolCucumber]

Ok, I don't know if THIS counts or not, but back when I was in High School, an old ex of mine and I were in the basement at her house, when through the ventilation came the moans of her parents...talk about a mood DESTROYER!!!

this is not exactly the same thing but a long time ago I was dating this girl and the first time we did "it" was in my old flat and she was so noisy that the people next door banged on the wall, after that we did it at her place or not at all......am I the only one that finds screamers a bit of a turn off..?
