hathycolOh, lovely. Our new neighbours are dickheads.
Basically, when we moved into this flat the house was mostly empty. Now it's almost full, with the only exception being the space above our head, and long may that one remain, might I add. The flat opposite was also empty for a long time, but now there are Scousers in there.
I appear to also a block of flats with selfish idiots. This is a growing peeve, shall we say. They block the space in front of the bins with their car, meaning that the bin does not get emptied. Downstairs-and-opposite leave all of there prams and kids toys on the landing, often blocking the stairs i.e. getting to my flat, and their babysitters smoke in the downstairs corridor. Directly-downstairs parks on some occasions up to three cars in the car park outside, which doesn't have enough space as it is. Downstairs is also insanely noisy with their children and their approach to child-rearing, which is If The Baby Is Crying, Shouting At It/Ignoring It Completely Will Obviously Help.
The noise issues on different levels are frankly shocking, to the extent we can often hear the arguments Downstairs is having. However, someone moving into the opposite flat has resulted in... surprisingly little noise, actually. I came home with takeaway on Friday to hear Rhianna booming out of their windows, but you couldn't hear any of it in our flat. Even though our adjoining wall is paper thin, it's the wall for our hallways, so no noise. Super!
Those who have moved in opposite are roughly our age, I think, although I can't tell how many of them there are. I think maybe three? I suspect it is their first place away from parents, or possibly though they are just dickheads who like to party too much. I may not hear the noise myself, but Downstairs-Opposite does. The woman (who other than their ability to put their own belongings in their flat I have no knowledge of) was banging on the door whilst holding a crying child, and it was only when I popped my head out I realised how loud Opposite's party was. They didn't even open the door for about half an hour.
That said later on I caught a fairly strong smell of weed when I poked my head out of the front door again. JESUS CHRIST PEOPLE WE ONLY JUST THREW THE CANNABIS FACTORY OUT.
I like living in urban areas, but when I am rich and famous I am going to invest in some hellagood soundproofing and possibly also some bouncers to knock consideration into people. I creep through the flat and feel guilty when I drop a heavy object, for goodness sake, but even now I can hear the TV of the people downstairs...
