Dealing with annoying neighbors

Am I the only one who feels weirded out and annoyed at the same time hearing my neighbors having sex? It happens several times a week.

It’s just awkward because I live with my elderly parents.🤦

Because of the age gap.😁 Honestly, I don't know a single person who doesn't find sex with much older people to be a little unsettling.

What's there to be uncomfortable about? You just knock on the door and tell them to chill out 😁😁😁😁

Honestly, if they were actually being respectful, you'd just knock on the door or leave a little note saying "hey, keep it down, people are trying to sleep."

The problem is, you'd probably just get this kind of response the next morning...

Look, whenever you start feeling embarrassed, just remind yourself how lucky you are that you don't live directly above or below me. It happens even more often at my place, and yeah, okay, it’s definitely louder (though we try to be somewhat considerate when people are working; we aren't trying to traumatize the kids).

I seriously can't stand apartment living. Between the paper-thin walls and those sketchy old pipes where you basically know everyone's bathroom schedule, it's a nightmare. Plus, you end up hearing your neighbors sighing through the walls and all you can think is, "Hey, can I come over and join in?"...🤣

Honestly, I’d take sex over those unruly brats running around all day kicking balls against the walls. The neighbors downstairs used to make such a racket I thought they were trying to tunnel their way up to me—just waiting for a hole to pop through the floor like some cartoon. And man, the neighbor looks like she weighs about 1,600 lbs... pretty sure she hasn't seen action since before she had the kid.

I don't think it would bother me *that* much, but who knows? I can't hear anything besides the constant thudding of the ball and the heavy breathing of a guy who looks like he's having a heart attack just walking up a single flight of stairs.

It’s not like they’re screaming; it’s just enough noise that you’d feel the need to knock. They aren't shouting or anything, but you know how it is—late at night, every little sound carries, even just heavy breathing.
Look, I'm in my room and my parents are in theirs, so it's not even an awkward situation.🤷

Plus, I can't exactly go knocking on their door; my parents would just ask where I'm going in my pajamas this late at night.😬

If I lived alone, I wouldn't care; I'd probably just learn to tune it out.

Did you come here just to brag?

Fine, whatever. You made me feel a little better.

Here they go again, for crying out loud... 😠😠

I’m exhausted and just want to crash since I have an early shift tomorrow, but I can't even turn off the TV because then the whole house will hear everything—my dad is in the next room too. Give me a break.

And there’s nothing I can do about reporting them, because technically it doesn't qualify as a noise complaint. 😠

"My guys" are swamped at work, so I haven't heard a peep from them in ages. But honestly, if you told a woman that her guy was actually getting some action, maybe then they’d finally get the hint and back off? 😁

I’d honestly just slap a note up in the apartment lobby asking everyone to pipe down, maybe they'd actually get the hint.👍

Back in 2016, I was staying out in some coastal town in Florida—you know, one of those places absolutely crawling with seagulls—and first thing in the morning I thought I was hearing my neighbors screaming at each other, but nope, it was just the damn birds. 😁🤔😁

Headphones on, some smooth, easy-listening tracks playing... it’s the perfect way to tune out when everyone else is being too much.

Dammit, you're right. I'll go with the note. These people are driving me nuts, and they’re getting louder by the minute. 😠

They'll just ignore it and pretend they didn't hear anything, obviously. What else should I expect?

The worst part is I can't even tell who they are—the ones above me, the ones below me...? It's hard to say, haha.

I know I get into these situations sometimes... but honestly, maybe it's just because I have an absurd amount of patience, so I don't end up going over to their place to start banging on doors. Though, even if I wanted to, I wouldn't really know which neighbors were actually involved in the noise anyway.
I haven't heard them in quite a while now, but it used to be a daily occurrence... even in the middle of the night.
