Neighbors from hell

Tweet

Since I couldn't find the discussion I was looking for, I'll start my own... I live in a row house with thin walls. When I first moved here 16 years ago, I had nice neighbors next to me and rarely heard anything from that side of the wall. But they wanted something on one floor, so ended up selling and moving away. They were replaced with a whole series of neighbors from hell, who were eventually replaced by a nice single lady. Then came the fire, her unit was damaged and repaired but during that time she moved in with her boyfriend and decided not to move back in when the repairs were completed. She rented it out to her sister and sister's hubby. They were nice enough but did tend to argue a lot, complete with slamming doors. When sister and hubby bought a house and moved out, the single lady moved back in with her boyfriend. Peace and quiet again (mostly). But they sold and moved out last May and a young couple moved in. They have loud discussions every other day, it seems. Except that their "day" is my night. (They both work the late shift somewhere.) The guy has a deep barrel voice that is hard to NOT hear, even when he's just speaking normally. Plus he seems incapable of closing a door, any door, without slamming it. And they took out the carpeting when they moved in so there isn't even that bit of sound dampening. One of them likes to skip, yes like a child, rather than walk. That's when they aren't out and out running back and forth. They were at it again last night, when I went to bed. And they don't just argue in one place. They move all over their house, sometimes going up the stairs, stomping all the way. I want to move but I'd hate to subject anyone else to this.
