I want to bitch-slap my neighbor. I can tell you everything he does in the wee hours of the morn because I can hear all of it. Yesterday he cleaned out his apartment, watched a football (soccer) game and shaved with an electric razor right before he took out the trash and had an argument with his business partner. Tonight he played sad, loud euro music, cooked something and is just finishing up a scary movie that involves semi-trucks. He often wakes at 3 PM and goes to sleep around 5:30 AM. I dont mind if my view is messed with. I dont even mind funny smells wafting in. But sounds disturbing sounds makes me want to play Barry Manilow out my bedroom window as payback. How can I make this jerkoff remember I am 10 feet away from him? Its not like we havent addressed this issue before.
The place I was before this one was downtown. There was a girl above me in apartment E who would have sex with her boyfriend or someone around 2:30 AM on Thursdays. She was a screamer and a headboard banger. Though that obviously kept me awake too, I couldnt bring myself to complain when I would meet her at the mailboxes in the afternoon. Once I just said So, you had company last night? She said yes and smiled. I wanted to give her a high five and buy her a drink. But I just winked and smiled a sly little lip. One night I did get a little angry and screamed up at her Move your freakin bed already! Geez!
Before I moved out, my then lover came to visit. From the time he walked in the door to the late morning when he left, I never once tried to stifle my melodically erotic words of passion. I didnt ham it up; I just relaxed and didnt think one bit about those thin walls. God, I hope she was awake all night.

I used to live on Oliver off Ingraham. The couple below had kids and so to mask the sound of their sweet love-making would BLAST THE GREASE SOUNDTRACK in the wee hours of the morning. Day after day, always the Grease soundtrack, like they had only one CD. weird.

I know a quiet place you can move to. Just the occasional inconsiderate cricket. It's safe too. Armed security and a big guard dog.
