Dear late night riders in the appartment above me. You wake me up everynight with the sound of your bedframe hitting the wall. People have to work you know, i dont need to hear you getting it on everynight at 3 in the fucking morning. Sure i have sex alot to, but im not using a dollarama bedframe that makes loud noises everytime i do it. Please, have some damn consideration and shut up. You come through my work all the time, and i will spit in your coffee next time. I hate you.

I think those bedframes cost 1.25 $ now. …Dollarama my ass!
Go up and knock on their door, hopefully they are the type of people that the mere embarrassment of having someone come up and ask them to please keep their sex down would get them to stop. Or get the landlord…I donno, just a suggestion.
I’ve offered this same suggestion a few times before:
Next time you see them you say: “Damn, your girlfriend should be in films…” Say it in a very creepy, rapist/pervert like voice, and make jack-off motions…they will be utterly MORTIFIED. Problem solved.
Go knock on the door and say “tag out, my turn!!”
People bitch and assume things without checking things out. Get off your ass, go up and inform them nicely that they are making too much noise at 3am. They may not even be aware of a noise problem.
earplugs. Seriously, you’ll get used to them.
I can still hear a cell phone alarm go off on ‘vibrate only’ with them in… not sure why but most other things get drowned out to less than a whisper.
It’s so fucking simple – when they start pounding the headboard, throw back your head and start howling like a lovesick bloodhound.
Bro Tim’s got it.
Level heads prevail.
I know. I know. It’s a bitch board, but still…
start making your own sounds, I like the howl TTFN. or how about getting some music usually heard in porns/stripper music and play it loud when they get going.
Ya bro tim’s got it, but Dino’s is so much more fun.
Yeah, the best way to deal with this situation, clearly, is to be a total asshole. (sarcasm)
And you wonder why there are people who say Haligonians have an attitude problem. I’m not trying to start anything here, I’m just kind of stating the obvious. Try talking to them like a rational human. If that doesn’t work, by all means go to town with the pervy innuendos and howling and whatever else.
ZZZ it’s the low Ohms frequency…it carries through more…just like low bass through the wall etc.
On Topic: Just tell them to stuff a pillow between the wall and the headboard….should quiet things noticeably.
I highly doubt that most of these suggestions were meant to be taken seriously Caity. It’s a joke, lighten up.
record it, post it on the web, give us on this message board the link, post their phone number with the recording….let us have a go at them.
LOL @ lovinglife. you could do a priceless ad out of it (no # though) 1)nice apt $XXX (show apt) 2) great neighbours $XXX (show picture of happy couple) 3) never have to buy porn again $priceless (start noise)
Thanks DER… makes sense when you give the technical details…. grade 10-11 physics comes flooding back.
Science H logic, my world makes sense.
I would be seriously embarrassed as hell if someone commented on my late night performance (even though I’d deserve an Oscar for that shit) – anyway, if it were me rocken the dollar store bed frame all night I would appreciate an anonymous note under my door telling me I’m keeping the neighbours up. (I really hope you don’t live in #218 and this bitch is about me…)
DER?,
…low frequency? Yes.
…ohms? No, that’s a unit of electrical resistance.
You are probably thinking of ‘hertz’, but even then, you don’t need to state the units if you’re already mentioning the property (frequency, in this case). 🙂
Allright…now let’s find out if the people who flame spelling and grammar correctors flame science correctors too…
