Would you file a complaint if you had to listen to
People in the next apartment having sex every single night? It goes on all hours of the night and it's not just two people. Sometimes I think that they are going to come through my living room wall.
I live in a large complex and the police have been to the apt. that I am talking about because they make so much noise.

It's kind of embarrassing for me to go to the management office in my building and complain about people having sex and the noise being too loud.

It's not two people either it's a group of people and it goes on every single night.

5. No thank you
It's three or four guys and they have earing's all over their face. I don't think that I am their type.

They are nice guys when you talk to them in passing.

9. They are very good looking guys
Beautiful faces and they are all artists. The piercings ruin their face and the tattoos are amazing.

I don't care who they have sex with I just wished they would go into their other bedroom.

2. Go ask if you can join in
LOL

Otherwise, yeah, I don't think you would be out of line in filing a complaint.

10. Good thing they got rid of the Sodomy laws
Edited on Fri Jan-30-04 04:02 AM by La_Serpiente
The cops can't arrest them if they barge in on them.

As for the nosie....hmmm....I don't know. Sorry.

11. It's every night, loud and it's a group of people
Edited on Fri Jan-30-04 03:42 AM by Lostmessage
I don't care who is in there but the noise goes out into the elevator and when you have to go to work and you can't sleep it effects you.

I am not down south so sodomy isn't an issue here. That's one messed up law.

12. sorry to be jocular...
I actually do understand your problem. I used to live underneath a man who had incredibly loud sex almost every night. The odd part was is he was really really ugly. And yet he got laid all the time - and with a variety of women. He must've had some "hidden" quality that made the girls scream.

It wouldn't be out of line to politely ask them to keep it down, or at least move to another room. I'm sure they're pretty cool people, and don't mean any harm.

13. "They are banging on my wall as I am tying this"
Sorry to hear about your ordeal. It wouldn't be bad if it were one or two nights a week.

The thing is it's a "group" of people and it gets very loud. The lady on the other side complained on them so they moved to the bedroom connected to my wall.

You hear loud pounding and it's constant and then you hear screaming and more loud pounding. It goes on until 5 or 6 in the morning.

It's been going on for months and I am too the point that I can't take it anymore and that is why I am up so late.

14. then I suggest you
really have a talk with them. I'm sure it won't be embarrassing for them - they seem pretty "open".

You deserve your own quiet time.

16. that wouldn't be bad...
but speaking face-to-face would be better. Perhaps you could slip them a note explaining the problem and asking them to come talk to you about it in person?

17. I thought that they were hanging pictures at first
That's how stupid I am. I don't need a clock because the screaming should start up in about 1/2 hour or so and then I will get a little break and the pounding will start back in.

At first I thought that they were being jerks for no reason and pounding on my walls with their fists but you can hear furniture moving and I started to figure it out.

18. call the cops-you can do that-or move down the hall
The cops will shut'm down--that is unless the cops join the guys--

maybe you should change apts- if it's a big APT complex-maybe the manager will understand and you can get a better unit out of the deal.

Edited on Fri Jan-30-04 04:59 AM by Lostmessage
The cops might join in I don't care.

I would like to get some damn sleep once in a while that's all.

If the guy was by himself I wouldn't care either but the noise is out of hand.

I think that I am going to have some friends sleep over and few times and I will have them applaud like they are at a game.

Thank you.
