Why, vixen, have you again set the gods by the ears in the pride and haughtiness of your heart?
I had a roommate, who in a previous apartment, had lived next door a guy who used to randomly leave flowers or candy at her door for Valentines day, Christmas, etc. He never asked her out, and they were friendly enough that she would feed his cat when he was out of town, regular neighborly stuff. Then she got switched from the night shift to the day shift at the hospital where she worked, and realized that his bedroom shared the wall with hers, and she would hear the headboard knocking against the wall while he shouted her name (sometimes first and last names) two or three times a week. He still never asked her out, but she felt like he had to know that she could hear him, and that was probably why.

at one place the apartment upstairs had a small child, whose favourite toy was a wooden chair, to be played with by dragging it across the concrete floor for the screeeeeeeeeeeeeching for hours

As the audience reluctantly began to applaud during the silence, Biden tried to fix his remarks.

"Wealthy kids, black kids, Asian kids -- no, I really mean it." Biden said.

It seems like every place I ever lived was beneath a young woman who wore heels in the house and clomped around the place all hours of the night.
Then I lucked into a place with concrete between floors and I have decided I will never ever leave this place.
I do have a neighbor who likes to pretend he's Chris Cornell, which he is most definitely not, but that's a fair trade-off.

The one thing I can still hear above me is a sound like someone dropping marbles on the floor.
WHAT THE HELL IS THAT AND WHY DO I HEAR IT EVERYWHERE I GO???

There's a spare patch of woods by a field behind my house. A few weeks ago I woke up at midnight because I thought someone was out there cutting down trees.

Turns out one of my neighbors bought their fat WWF-loving 12 year old kid one of those miniature motorcycles and now he keeps the neighborhood up until 2am buzzing around the field out back.

If I could get away with it I'd run wires between the trees and lop off his fat loving head. I know school's out and all, but get your worthless children inside by midnight on weekdays, ok?

Goddamn you. I had totally managed to block out the bonobo chittering, but you just had to point it out and now it's all I can hear.

I had a gay downstairs neighbor named Rick in his early 50s, white, fat, who would get crunk as gently caress :420: and absolutely blast Madonna, Lady Gaga and Beyonce. It was pounding, much like the pounding he'd give to the young, black college students he'd have over after meeting them on Adam4Adam.

That was the shittiest apartment I ever lived in, but it was $450 per month and he was a great neighbor and all-around great guy. He sadly died of an aneurysm just after getting a degree in medical information systems and a job at a nice hospital. The guy had a tough life and it broke my heart.

He was also Christian and when learned I was gay, he exclaimed "Oh thank God!"

There were four apartments in the building. Another neighbor was an older white guy from Chicago who was a living nightmare. I couldn't hear anything from his unit, but he had bitey chihuahuas which repeatedly bit me and other residents. He eventually got homophobic with Rick, who told him to back off or get knocked down. Chicago dude backed off because he was a pussy. We soon got the nightmare evicted.

White trash living in Texas baby :whatup:

RIP Rick

In the last few hours I have heard the people in three adjacent units taking a shower (because our water runs loud). I was thinking about taking one, but now I don't want to be weird like them. What are they doing? Washing blood off their whole body? Is that what they'll think I'm doing?

It is 4:23 AM.

How do I get over the awkwardness of having an audience to my sex having,i really dont like it its removing my enjoyment of the carnal sort

the gf doesnt seem to mind, they never do isnt that weird. once that flip is switched and the bedroom eyes are on they give no fucks if their neighbors hear them climax but if you get home from work late and take a shower or something there is hell to pay

im going to suggest getting some pink panther up in this poo poo or i will refuse to get up in hers (it is an empty threat i hve no moral foundation)

I know what you mean. Back when I was sharing a house, my then-GF and got it on one night while she was visiting. My housemate and his GF were also in the house and we thought we were sufficiently quiet and they were sufficiently asleep. Obviously not, because they then returned the favour the following night. It was clearly on purpose because never before or since did I hear a peep out of the housemate's GF.

I was like no jeez we weren't intending you to hear us you creepy fucks, but of course I didn't say anything. And made sure never to have sex again while they were in the house.

Housemate's GF was vaguely cute in a pudgy jewish girl sort of way, so it wasn't really Something Awful, but still wholly unnecessary IMO.

Well, that's easy for you to say. You have a bad imagination. It's stupid. I live in a fantasy world.

My wife and I moved into a duplex after only a short tour with the landlady, she kept talking the whole time. We never just stood still listening. When we showed up two weeks later with our stuff we noticed the traffic noise was really bad. The other half of the duplex wasn't even rented yet but when she had painters over there we heard every faucet, flush, creek and door opening.

When we found our new duplex we scheduled the viewing at the worst traffic time, saw cars in the other half and asked to be alone inside for a minute. Gotta do this, found quieter place.

The only thing I can hear every once in a while is the toddler upstairs stomping around (seriously how do they make so much noise) but it happens rarely enough and is so quiet that I really don't care

oh and if I'm in the bathroom I can kinda hear my old neighbors watching Frasier in the morning


quietest nicest place I've ever been in and everyone actually knows eachother and hangs out outside every once in a while so it's cool

For several years I lived in a place where i would always hear children squealing or dogs barking, every day. It was subsidized housing with a lot of immigrant families. Do foriegners not send their kids to school? There were mexican and middle eastern kids running around that place every day, no matter what time of day. Screaming randomly.
I assume the same people were boiling onions once a day just to keep the place smelling homey.
I miss the smell of that one mexican family's cooking, but not their stupid yappy bichon frise.

gf's old apartment was suuuper nice except for the rear end in a top hat who lived upstairs that would constantly either have loud parties at 3 in the morning or practice with his lovely band at 3 in the morning

the piece of poo poo just acted like it was totally normal to do these things and apparently the apartment people couldn't do anything? whatever; what an rear end in a top hat

When I lived in an apartment I got to hear the bogan couple in my neighbouring apartment fighting constantly, whereas when I lived in a suburban house I got to hear the entire bogan family in the neighbouring house fighting constantly. Kids cry more often and at a higher pitch so I'll take apartment living.
