Having Neighbours REALLY sucks...
Now that Alex and I live in our own place which we OWN, we thought that we would have a lot more freedom and a lot less annoyances. Well, we were wrong.
Our neighbours on the left side moved in last week and it's been nothing but trouble since Day 1!
First they were parking in our driveway and blocking our space for the first couple days...OK well they're moving in, so I forgive them for that, but then they're parking part way in OUR driveway...not cool!
Then, in the middle of the day, Alex was playing music while doing the dishes and the chick next door comes over and tells him to turn the subwoofer down because she can feel the vibrations next door and her baby is taking a nap... so he apologizes and turns it down.
Yesterday, I was upstairs on the computer writing up my new resume and to help with the boredom and lack of motivation, I played some music to pass the time. I then left to pick up Alex from work and my brother/mother for dinner and returned to a note on my door once again stating that we need to turn down our subwoofer. OK, well firstly, the subwoofer for my computer isn't THAT great and it wasn't turned up all the way, AND it's not even on the floor so I'm not sure how much in the way of vibrations the would feel. Anyways, I went over there and talked to her husband and told him that I wasn't making much noise, I was just upstairs writing my resume AND when I was downstairs watching TV I felt some major vibrations and some loud banging coming from their house. I didn't complain because I know what it was - the washing machine. On the spin cycle it spins at extereme speeds and because it's on the main floor it causes some massive vibrations. I didn't complain... I said that we'd try to keep an eye on the sound.
Honestly though, this is f'ing crazy. I don't give a rats ass if their baby is trying to sleep. And why is she making her baby nap at 4:30pm...that seems a little bit late for a baby to take a nap. Aside from that, she doesn't really have any right to complain because it's in the middle of the day, and quite frankly, I can be as loud as I damn well please!! I'm pretty sure the police aren't going to do anything unless I'm making a lot of noise after 11:00pm, which is standard, and fair.
This drives me absolutely crazy and made me so upset. I just want to write a note on their door telling them to fuck off and get over it. If they didn't want to hear any sort of noise, then they should have bought a house or a semi instead of a townhouse. I hope their other next door neighbours are young too and make lots of noise so they can have a fun time trying to get us both to shut up.
I want some opinions on this though from everyone. What I'm thinking is that every time they write a note and leave it on my door, I will keep it. They have been writing the times on their notes thus far so that should help me later on...BUT, if they keep that shit up, I'm going to report them for harassing me because there is no reason why I can't play my music in the middle of the day, and honestly I'm not even playing it THAT loud. The funny thing about that as well, while living with my mom in her condo (which was cheaply built so probably less insulation and space between the walls etc.) we never once had a complaint from either neighbour and we would watch movies in the middle of the night, fairly loudly, with the subwoofer turned up all the way (upstairs, which is worse because their master bedroom would have been adjacent with my bedroom). So what I think is that this chick has a giant STICK up her ass and she's just pissed off because she's at home all day with her baby and she wants a bit of a break while her baby naps. Whatever...vibrations are not going to wake up a baby, if anything, it would probably be soothing for them, lol. And a tiny bit of noise between the walls isn't going to disturb the baby either.
God, it just completely INFURIATES me because now I have to be constantly worried about whether we're being too bloody loud or not. That means that if I want to stay up late on a Friday night and watch a movie with my SURROUND SOUND, they're probably going to come a knocking and bitch at us about it.
Well you know what, they can call the police if they want to because what can they legally do in the middle of the day? NOTHING! And if the cops come, I'll make the come in my house and play the music for them as loud as I normally would and see if that is a problem with the police.
JERK OFFS! I knew I was going to hate my neighbours, I just hope the ones on our right side aren't as freaking petty because this is bloody ridiculous.
Please people, I want your opinions on what I should do or if I'm actually in the wrong here!!!
Thanks guys! =D
