Hahahahahaha…. that is awesome. Classic. I pay $475 all inclusive plus storage space and parking spot, and its commercially-zoned so I run a small business from it. And I only hear *myself* fart and shit. All because I don’t fuss that I live in the North End.But seriously, fella, maybe turn on your bathroom fan when you get in there…or maybe get a radio or something. Your life isn’t that bad. Buy a house maybe… and at least you can’t smell it… there ARE worse things.I am curious to hear what other peoples rents and housing situations are like….
i live in a 2 bedroom $500 a month heat in apartment…the most i ever hear is the occasional sound of my downstairs neighbor getting railed. pretty annoying. but shes hot so its tolerable.
John, So I’m not the only one who heard someone in another apt getting laid. Haha. One time this past summer, I had my window open and I was just chilling on the couch. Then I VERY CLEARLY heard this girl (in an apt above us or something, had to be cause it was really clear) moaning repeatedly. Then the moaning kept getting louder, and then I heard spanking. Obviously she had her window open. It was a bit awkward, I’m no prude, but I felt awkward cause I was thinking ‘Does she know or even care that anyone in any close apt with the window open can hear her???’. Then I shut the window and turned on the tv, but I could STILL hear the girl and her partner getting it on. Then I went to another area of my apt, and I could hear them knocking things over during their banging. How about that, op?
I live in a Condo, mortgage free, all the neighbors are quiet.
I pay $1000 a month for a mortgage – maybe you should buy your own soundproof Fortress of Solitude in Ecum Secum.
Oh, yeah. At 8 this morning, I woke up to overhearing people getting in on in some other apt! Good thing I had to get up anyway!
