I heard a story where my friend was moving out of a house he'd lived in for 2 years, knocked on his neighbours door to say cheerio. The man who answered said that he was the worst neighbour ever, after 60 years of living there, and that he was glad he was moving. Funny thing, the man had never once said anything in the previous 2 years. If he had, my friend (who is a reasonable guy) would have easily tried to accomodated him.

I beleive 90% of problems involving neighbours can be solved with effective communication.
Speaking to them in person is the best way to get the job done. Sympathetic, unaccusatory and matter of fact is how to come across.

If it's possible to engineer the conversation away from the doorstop that's only a good thing. You converse with salesmen on the doorstop, you're going to feel more uncomfortable, and so less able to effectively communicate. They're going to feel less inclined towards assisting and being helpful.

Say that you need to discuss a sensitive matter, and ask if they have a minute, try to get invited inside. You converse with friends in your living room. You can avoid the above doorstep problems and it's much more likely that in time it'll become something you laugh about.



Or you could just be British and have really loud sex yourself right against the partition wall, until they get the idea. You can then avoid eye contact with each other for the rest of your lives.

Many moons ago, with one of my first girlfriends I was 'your next door neighbour' sadly for me the couple next door werent shy and came to me when I worked in Sainsburys and informed me they could here us at it most nights and that she seemed to enjoy herself.....Must admit we turned the telly on loud after that.

Nowadays the only moaning my neighbours are likely to hear is when I forget to turn the en suite light off before coming to bed.

I once lived in a flat which was a new build apartment block, so of course it seemed to be made out of papier mache.

We'd heard the couple upstairs enjoying each other's company a few times in the past. One night me and my flatmate had come home from the pub and we were watching the snooker highlights on the TV when we heard them start up. She was being even more vocal than usual and was rising to quite a crescendo. After two 'crescendos' he was still going which prompted her to exasperatedly say 'Oooooh, ooooh, Neil. I just can't take it any more'.

Upon hearing this, my flatmate and I burst out laughing - really loudly. The sounds upstairs immediately ceased.

We never heard them again.

Just remembered, it could be worse weller, 7 years ago, on new years eve, me and my girfriend heard two vocal men in the flat above having a wrestle.  Kind of killed the mood, that did.

Say nothing. But every time it happens, print this article out and pop it through their letter box.

That would have really confused the two blokes living about Pokerron.

Best advice:
Record every single episode on a spreadsheet - dates, times, duration, decibel level, percentage of fakes, etc.
I guarantee it will make you better at it.

Tape it and send them a copy, just pop it through their letterbox anonymously, it might make them a bit quieter.  send me a copy as well please.

This happened to one of my mates at her uni,

The girl a few rooms down got a new boyfriend and the same problem occured, so a few of the ppl from the nearby rooms recorded it, then played it full blast one night at 5am, this seemed to do the trick.  And she got the msg.

This happened to me in uni. The korean girl had a 'visitor' and was making some loud noises when i got up to the kichen late one night. I assume there was some ass some slapping going on or she was applauding his work, one of the two, i didnt really mind though, just got the rest of the boys up for a listen!!!!!

Gotta love a nation where we won't talk about sex, as that would be dirty, but we will record it and play it back anonymously, as loud as we possibly can, at the slightest provaction, with no quibbles whatsoever.
