the lows of high-rise living

[icecreamfilling]

My upstairs neighbours are the most uncivilised lot of people I've ever met. I've only seen some of them, but as far as I can make out, there's a cantankerous old woman, three or four of the most ill-behaved children on the planet, and a couple in their 30s, whom I presume are the old woman's children and parents of said kids

:squishes your son: OMGSOCUTE.

As for the neighbors, is there a landlord or other building authority you could complain to?

[icecreamfilling]

Eeeee!

The thing is, I live in public housing, so there really isn't a landlord I can complain to. Maybe I'll try the residents' committee.

he's adorable!

now that I think of it it's like my house is surrounded by loud neighbors. there's one across the street that throws flowerpots all the time, one in back of us that screams in greek, and our next door neighbor, before she moved out, liked to cut ceramic tiles in her garage at 3 am.

[icecreamfilling]

Isn't he!

Wow, your neighbours from hell sound a lot cooler than mine. Cutting ceramic tiles, WTF?

Awww, baby! Squishy cheeks and all!

OMG YOUR SON IS SO CUTE WTF. I swear even that photo smells of baby. Eeee.

Re: neighbors from hell -- is there not a way to er, "report" them in a tennant's meeting or whatever? My neighbors downstairs used to have orgies parties every fucking weekend until 5am and their teenage son would start rocking out Linkin Park (kfkjdfkhg!) at 6:30am every single day. We called them, visited them, etc. And nothing. We reported them in a tenant's meeting and they calmed down. Then they started up again and I personally called the police. After the visit from the cops they no longer pester us.

Ask other neighbors, probably there are other people pissed off with them as well. If there's some of you, I think it's possible that they get a citation from municipal authorities for being a bucnch of wankers and not knowing how to live in community (at least that works here!). Good luck!

I live in public housing, so we don't have landlords or tenant meetings. The problem is, they're more of an annoyance than a nuisance. I mean, I'd rather have your neighbours so that I can call the cops on them, but my problems sound a little trvial to involve law enforcement. But it's a good idea to ask around other neighbours and then we can bring it up to the residents' committee.

[macphista]

Oh well. Whatever the case may be, I hope you can solve it sooner than later, because living like that can become quite stressful. :/

OMG TYLER BB SO QT!!!

!!!!
!!!!!!!

but i will still fucking hate children/kids. it's okay when they're babies, like Tyler but when they're like 3/4/5 i just wanna fucking smack them.

[icecreamfilling]

I know! Kids that age can be v irritating. I'll try my best to make Tyler as less irritating as possible.

[mmmorbid]

^_^ I'm sure he'll be less irritating since you know how irritating irritating kids are like. Did that sound confusing?

ps. Do you mind if I add you on MSN?

[icecreamfilling]

I get what you mean.

I'd love that!
