Why the fuck must my neighbours slam that screen door every time they go in and out, too many fucking times in the morning and through the night with their dogs. I don’t need to set my alarm anymore because I wake up to that fucking slamming. You have no respect. We are in a townhouse, you would think they would realize how fucking loud that is. I have a son with me and thank god he sleeps sound or they would have to get an ear full. —Sleepless in Dartmouth

I guess they don’t realize( or care ) that they are being loud and disrespectful, because you haven’t mentioned it to them. If they don’t know it bothers you, then it doesn’t affect them. It’s only hurting you not to mention it. If you can’t bring it up, then you need to live with it, unfortunately.
I encountered neighbor frustration yesterday, watching my neighbor power wash her deck for almost 3 hours. Ridiculous. But, I said nothing, and fumed on my own. Didn’t bother her a bit. I, on the other hand, was considering taking an assault charge, after wrapping the hose around her neck. See what holding it in does?
Screen doors are usually on a piston type thing that stops them from slamming but they break and when mine broke I forgot every single time to catch the door before it slammed. They probably aren’t actively slamming it just forgetting to catch it. Tell your landlord (sounds like they’re renting the other side of your townhouse?) that it needs to be fixed and it’s annoying you. OR and this is a little crazy I know, you could just ask your neighbor to be more mindful. That could improve the situation, this bitch does not 🙂
