Who can understand?

I haven't been able to sleep very well lately.

My upstairs neighbor has been making noise - not consistent noise - but usually one loud scraping of furniture across the floor, dropping something or a loud conversation. And this wakes me up suddenly from my sleep and now I anticipate being woken up in the middle of the night.

So I have tried to knock on there door a few times during a normal hour and no one has answered. I had tried earplugs but that didn't help. So I left a note on their door tonight:

_____________________

Hi there,

How are you?

I’m your neighbor from downstairs.
I have tried to knock on your door a few times to speak to you.

Could you please keep the noise down in your apartment after 11pm?

Lately, I have been hearing noise from your apartment that sounds like a loud conversation or furniture in the middle of the night (around 2-3am) and it has been waking me up.

It’s been pretty difficult to get a good rest due to this so I would really appreciate it if you could please try to keep it down.

Thank you very much!

Your neighbor

It seems pretty polite to me, for someone groggy from lack of sleep because of them so I think and hope they will try to keep it down.

I stupidly told my mom about it and she told me THEY - the neighbours - will come after me.
I have lost a good deal of sleep lately, my boss told me to 'grow a spine' today (told me I was "too sweet" the other day - I guess I shouldn't have given the shirt off my back or told that guy to "please step on me lest he sully his shoes in a mud puddle" in front of my boss) about something I thought was a relatively straight-forward situation, and now my mom is predicting my death.

I feel really tense and tired and like I have no one to talk to right now - but then I remembered there are you guys with your sage advice...*hugs*

I'm a woman on my own and that is what my mom is really afraid of but do you think I should have handle the neighbour-thing differently? I was going to mention things to the super if tonight was the same as always...

That 'grow a spine' thing at work too pissed me off ... so I'm too f***in nice!! ;p
