The woman that lives downstairs was very upset with her boyfriend last night. I don't know what he has done to her, but she was very mad! She kept opening her apartment door and slamming it and she was closing the foyer's front door very loudly too. Over and over and over again. My father-in-law was at my apartment talking to me and he had to hear all of this. The woman was screaming and talking so loud to where everyone could hear her. She kept arguing. She argued for about an hour and a half last night. Just on and off. She called the police on her boyfriend because he stole her van and he had driven off with it. It was a mess. She was so angry. I am glad that my son was asleep during this time. My oldest daughter was up. My son did hear some of the argument when he was awake. Me and my father-in-law just kept on talking while all of this was going on. And get this, no one even bothered to call the police. I am sure that many guys were standing outside hearing everything that she was saying to him. My husband told me yesterday, that it is okay for him to hit his ceiling when he gets mad, but it is not okay for us to hit our floor when they are down below having an argument. She was making more noise than my kids make put together! How can he be so cold to me, when all he and his girlfriend does is argue back and forth. I was sitting on my bed and I could see four young guys standing up against the apartment building across from ours. I am sure that they were entertained and had heard a good ear full of her arguing. I am glad that we will be moving out next month. This is just not the type of environment that I want to be living in. Someone is always fighting. Sometimes I tend to think that maybe someone will pull out a gun and start shooting. Bullets will be flying and it will have no name on whom it targets. I hope and pray that this never happens to anyone that lives out here!

I commented on your other stories before about your neighbor complain about your kids being loud and such. You should have called the police on them for making a huge disruption at night and that your children are trying to sleep and all she is doing is slamming the door over and over. I am glad you are moving because that is definitely not an environment to live in. Sucks for the next people who plan on moving in or renting the area!

I would be happy if I was moving out next month as well. Arguments are not good for anyone. I know that everyone argues once in a while. It is not healthy to argue a lot though, especially when children are involved. I think it is irresponsible for the lady to argue and act the way she did knowing that you are living upstairs and have children. It is not good for your children to hear nor is it good for you and your husband to deal with. it just causes stress on everyone. I'm sure you didn't want your father in law to hear all of the arguing. Her slamming doors sounds childish. I know I used to slam doors but I am much younger and don't slam doors anymore. I think we have all had our stages where we did something irresponsible. Although at her age I think it is something she should never do. Maybe she needs some anger management. I'm glad to hear that you are moving out soon.

I think it is terrible that People have to carry on like that I have to be honest I have lived in a few Places where People argue and not care who hears them, but it was not a bad Area it is just when someone has had enough they will shout at one another but your Neighbours are just terrible I just hope that you are moving tomorrow

I am wondering, if she is having soo much problem with her current boyfriend then why cant she just breakup with him and go for another relation which suits her the best?. Uff, not to say the guy can also think likewise. But maybe their problem should be occasional or just simple silly matters and the lady is a loud speaker. I laughed and rolled on the floor after reading the lady called police to complain about her boyfriend taking off her van.. lol, thats amazing. Are they married couples or just boyfriend-girlfriend relationship.. if they are married they should take some counseling especially the lady.

Hi. jithinpg. No. They are not married and I am afraid that they will never be either. They fight and then they will make up. They have fought more than once too. I really believe that they should just call it quits.

You made the right decision in leaving that place. If I'd be in your situation I would feel the same way that you feel. I'd definitely not last with that kind of environment. With the kind of job my husband and I have we need a peaceful neighborhood. If not we will be like zombies. Wishing you all the best!!!

I think it would've been a good idea if you were the one that called the police. Remember, you have the same right of living in a peaceful place as they do, so, don't be afraid to stand up for YOUR space.

hi cream oh my that was awful and I do wish someone had called the police as people should not air their dirty laundry in front of all the other tenants,I will be so glad for you when you and your hubby can get your family out of there. It sounds very unsafe to me.

I hate that you had to hear all that. It's bad enough when people don't follow the noise ordinance but when they are fighting, it's really an embarrassment. I can understand her being mad at her bf and I can't say much as I've been known to do the door slamming and yelling thing, but in an apartment it's much different and I'd be embarrassed to make such a ruckus!

I realize a person can't help where he/she has to live but this is one reason why I don't like apartments. You can hear every word that's said and the people doing the arguing, loud talking, etc. don't seem to care who hears them. I hope I never have to live in an apartment. It's not very pleasant to hear people arguing all the time. I'm just so happy that youall are getting out of there possibly!

Oh, poor Cream, you have to put up with that for the meantime.... I hope you can move out of there real soon. It is not a good place to raise the kids. Your neighbors are truly a bad influence to your kids, though, not directly, but sooner or later they will adapt to it and it will be planted in their subconscious... People are like that, they seem to always mind others businesses when theses things are to their inconvenience but they don't mind their manners at all even if they do cause inconvenience already to other people. Goodluck, Cream. I hope and truly pray that you can relocate to somewhere more condusive to peaceful living...
