My best friend just died. I wailed for 5 minutes at 1pm in the afternoon. The piece of shit upstairs told me to “shut the fuck up already.” Fuck you, you techno listening, 2 o’clock in the morning, shrill voiced cunt. Get used to noise complaints from the guy downstairs. I lived here for two years and I haven’t said a word to the superintendent. Those days are over. —Don’t fuck with a man in pain

Look. I’m sorry your friend died. That’s really upsetting and i feel very deeply for your loss. But you’re not the middle of the universe. The guy downstairs had no idea you were in mourning, just that he was trying to sleep, probably had to work tomorrow and you were keeping him awake.
Grief doesn’t give you carte blanche to be an assclown about other people’s personal space.
you n eed to start a newsletter so youre neighbors know your life,and why youre being nois y .maybe your neighbor is grieving with techno.you guys need newsletter s.
Couldn’t have said it better, crayons.
I believe one should be able to break down in the privacy of their own home without being cursed at, at any time of day, on that rare occasion, for that very brief moment in time, with the expectation that one’s neighbors will, in the spirit of human decency, practice some sensitivity.
I’m sorry for your terrible loss, OB.
I don’t think people are fully understanding this. The OB was crying at 1 in the afternoon and was bitched at by the cunt above them who listens to loud techno until 2AM. OB has been tolerant of such behavior until this interaction. OB IS the guy “downstairs” and the person above them yelled at them. Hope that clears everything up.
It does. Op i wrote that at 8 in the morning. And probably in your sad and angry state, it was a bit muddled.
Anyway, yeah op that sucks. I’m on your side on this one.
You woke up your neighbour with your “wailing”, and by that I assume it means crying, drunken screaming “why, why, why…etc”. Look, I’m not trying to poke fun at you but, you have to realize that you live in an apartment, not a sound proof room. Your neighbours should not have to feel awkward in their own homes, and by your crying and ranting, they don’t feel comfortable. Maybe it’s not so much a noise complaint as it is a reminder to not broadcast what is going on in your life, at a level that is easily overheard by neighbours.
A little techno at 2:00am is a lot less intrusive than extra loud crying and blubbering/going through drunken/non-drunken blubbering/angry ranting.
No where was it mentioned that they woke the person up. They were grieving at 1PM! You know, the time that the sun is almost directly above our heads? I don’t see any mention of alcohol either. Quit making assumptions, it just makes you look like a dick. A “little” techno at 2AM isn’t little at all, it’s bass laden and fucking annoying. That mention of a noise complaint was in regards to the OB now calling about the 2AM techno.
Please fully read and properly understand the post before you make comments. It’s a lot less annoying for everyone.
I really don’t know where to begin on this one guys. You all are just sick in the head. The man was obviously going through alot and you ridicule him and suggest a newsletter. Hell has a special place reserved for most of you. It really is despicible how you can belittle a person with so much grief.
I feel your pain OP and wish you godspeed in coping with your loss. You and your friend will be in my prayers tonight.
To the rest of you, repent and apoligize would be my advice. Sometimes I am truly sickened by the attitudes displayed here. Tisk tisk tisk.
Don’t worry op. There is no hell.
Yes there is eats_crayons, and it is you that should be worried.
I have to ask, are you bi-polar honey? You went from nagging, insulting and ridiculing the OP, to being completly supportive and on their side. Maybe the bi-polar disorder would explain your love of double posts two minutes apart and completely changing your attitude based on what time of day it is.
Please see a doctor crayons. Judging by the amount of insults you have for our public health care system I’d say you’ve experienced it first hand.
Please, take your medicine honey.
I’m with OP on this one. I think people know when somebody is crying, it’s a very distinct sound even if no one knows what’s going on in your life. It’s the sign of a real lack of class to be telling someone to “shut the fuck up already” in those circumstances. At any time.
My condolences OP.
To avoid confusion, 24 hour times should be used?
How does a catholic priest tell the time? when the big hand is on the little hand.
Crying is good to deal with grief, it actually makes you feel better. You have been more than patient with the techno blaring piece of shit living above you. Wait till she goes to sleep and then blare a bit of your own, only for a few seconds, or an hour. I had a Mother, daugther duo that lived below me and complained at any normal noise that came from us. We could not levitate and I think this angered them. One morning around 9am, I was in my bed listening to music with headphones on, and just keeping time with the beat by tapping the palms of my hands to my thighs and the 25 year old child who was below me in her bed started slamming her dresser drawer over and over again as to say ” be fucking quiet”. As this was a Saturday morning I decided it was time to vaccum my room. Dragged the old canister electrolux accross the floor banged it a few times on the hardwood floor and left it running for a half hour or so while I started making noise in the kitchen. The thing is I always tried to be as mindfull of those who lived below me as possible but you do have to live. I also told my daugther it was time to practice her flute. So op you go right ahead and complain about the shrilled voiced cunt. She deserves whatever you dish out.
Is bi-polar honey made by a mix of honey bees and killa bees?
Oh lordy Biscuit, that made me laugh. Thanks honey;)
Lord Biscuit is here all week!
blip do you think before you speak or do you just sort of zone out and just think about shoes while you prattle on?
Or IS that thinking for you? Dear god that’s a scary thought..
By the way, i need someone to clean my toilet. I can afford to pay quite well and you really seem like you need a job. As they say, Noblesse oblige.
crayons do you think before you speak? Well, that should be type, because we’re online honey.
Do you realize you answer the same posts twice with completely different attitudes? Thats called being bi-polar. Did I hit a sore note because you’ve said many times your above this foolish bickering.
You can afford to pay quite well? Don’t make me laugh, your boyfriend can afford it, not you sweety. And no, I’m retired with a very a large pension just like my husbands. We also have our rental properties and investments.
Are you the one thats up to 27 dislikes on one comment? Yup, you are honey. Think before you type, LMFAO.
‘…And no, I’m retired with a very a large pension just like my husbands. We also have our rental properties and investments….’
Shouldn’t this read:
‘…And no, I’m retarded with a very large faux penis just like my husband, a forty pound wharf rat named Fred. We also have our one-holer shed and our embezzlements.’
So how do you ever find the time to come here, Blobblimp, with all these so-called rental properties and investments? Shouldn’t you be mopping up a hallway or clearing a toilet somewhere?
Those who brag as you do often have nothing that they claim, not even a personality, which is painfully obvious in your case.
Time to grease up the black bikini, blimpie, and take your waddle to Seaview Park so the seagulls can pick the bugs off your backfat.
Crayons has your number just like everyone else, blimpblob.
WOW! I’m away for a few short days and ya’ll are cutting in on the being-a mean-old-cunt thing on me!
TT- my husband takes care of that. Most of the time Im just a pretty face waiting to go to the beach. Thanks for the post though- sounded a lot like it was about tubunit.
LMFAOLMFAO
You see- I began my career as a technical writer, got bit by the coding bug, developed a weird rash from the bite and am now writing again.
I have horribly loud neighbors. as soon as I hear their bullshit loud partying, I bang the floor right away as I have zero tolerance for them anymore.
If I heard one of them crying their eyes out, I’d let them. I’d probably bake them cupcakes or something. It’s called empathy, you dicks. There’s not enough of it in the world.
I live in an apartment building and therefore don’t expect it to be quiet as a church. Whenever a neighbour makes excessive noise that is not typical of them (ie: they are generally quiet) I don’t feel the need to rush over and bitch at them for living their life. Instead, I make the choice to assume that they are doing something that requires some noise that won’t last that long and to chill the fuck out.
OB, I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your best friend. Living in an apartment doesn’t mean you have to turn your life off. Cry all you want and tell the bitch upstairs to go fuck herself.
