GRRRRRRRR!

I was so happy to move out of the last nightmare I was living in only to have one LOUD MOUTHED Jerry Springer wanna be contestant living behind me at my new place. This place had everything I wanted in an apt if I can't have a house yet. This lady however is making it a nightmare.

This lady is sooo loud that people all over the complex complain about her. She is out at 10pm and all hours of the night on the phone and the whole world knows her families Jerry Springer like drama. She looks in my windows when my blinds are open so I can't even enjoy the sun light because she has to poke her nose in and look. I have been woken up numerous times at night by her loud mouth on the phone. I love to have the sliding doors open to my porch but can't cause of HER mouth! It's unreal and ridiculous. I have had really bad morning sickness at night and just when I get to sleep I am woken up by her mouth through the sliding doors!!

I love this apt but she is the one thing that makes me want to get out of here. I do not want to hear live Jerry Springer drama daily. This place is quiet otherwise, she is the only noise problem here!

Well tonight I had to call the cops cause she threatened me and well I'm pregnant and don't need someone threatening me. I went to my room to go to bed at about 8:50pm and she was out there loud as can be. I wanted to go to bed without hearing her mouth. I want to sleep in my bed not on my couch. I still hear her on my couch but my room it's worse. So I told her to be quiet and she started cursing at me saying I'm psycho and that i have no baby daddy and should go find a man. I'm like wow!! My fiancee works overseas so he isn't home all the time and I work so I like my sleep. I am up at 5:30am every morning and go to bed about 9pm. She ruins my sleep 95% of the time and I'm over it. I called the cops and one female officer came. She said the lady is breaking a noise ordinance in the city and to call every time she is loud like that. She said do it every night if need be she will get a ticket and hopefully realize she needs to be quiet. I am not the only person who has complained about this lady but I'm pretty sure i'm the first to call the cops. My neighbors downstairs have told her to be quiet and people across the complex have asked me if I can hear her. I laugh and say yea she is directly behind me then I look at them puzzled because they hear her on the other side of the complex! It's a blatant disregard for others and no self respect either esp with the conversations she has outside.

This whole area is full of people like her. I am so over it. I had 3 people in one week with major road rage try and run me off the road! I had one guy get next to me and call me all kinds of vulgar names because I wasn't going fast enough (couldn't go fast than the car in front of me or the 10 or so in front of that car during rush hour traffic). He then proceeded to try and run me into ON COMING TRAFFIC! I was freaking out esp since I had a head on collision with a damn drunk driver in March who hopped a median and hit me head on. This area seriously has given me so much anxiety. The people are down right rude and just PSYCHOTIC! Even in the stores people have an attitude, heaven for bid you ask them to do something that is their job they MOUTH off at you. I am so ready to move out of this hole of a state, Florida. This area is just ridiculous with the people and how they act. I have never dealt with people like this before not even in Daytona! It's crazy to say people there were actually nicer! The people here are just scary!

I'd get a decent quality shotgun mic and aim it at her mouth. The sound of her loud talking I'd then feed through a PA system and fire it back at the world. If she wants to be LOUD...The least you can do is help her out Or record it then type it up in script form and slide it under her door when you get up at 5am Monday morning.

And I thought it was only me who lived with psychotic people. I feel your pain. I would look into moving though. You defintely don't need to be around that lady. Besides, there's always a nicer place to go. Good Luck.

Can't move and won't. It took me 5mths to find this place. Apts are very limited here esp ones that are nice.

We just moved here and I won't let her run me out when she is the one breaking the condo rules and the local city laws. If she thinks she can push me around she has seriously met her match. I don't go down easily and I don't run away either. I dealt with one other group years ago that were noisy, college kids. They winded up getting evicted. They were so loud their music knocked pictures off my walls! :O

She can be quiet. I've heard her talk in a normal tone so she can do it. I think she wants people to hear her drama. I know people like that, they have to talk so everyone else can hear them. She is definitely like that. She is disrupting not just me but other people here who have the same complaints. I will go to the new president tomorrow esp since she threatened me and i had to call the cops.

When my neighbors and others expressed annoyance over her I felt relief! I was like ok it's NOT just me!!! I don't know if she owns her place or not but i don't care, she needs to respect other people here. It's a small complex and everyone else is quiet so I dont know why she can't be either. During the day its whatever I dont care, there are all kinds of noises outside i can't control but at night i dont want to hear it. I like to enjoy the breeze and have my doors open but I can't because of her. Hopefully she will learn a lesson and pipe down her tone!

I know that you probably don't feel like it, but sometimes the best way to deal with an annoying neighbour is to make nice to them, and kill the problem with kindness. It is very easy to get into a vicious circle with these things, and you (and baby) do not need the stress. Consider popping a card in her postbox, apologising (even though you don't feel sorry) for complaining, but that after a really difficult week, you just reached the end of your tether and desperately needed some rest. Perhaps, subtly, mention some of the things that you have overheard, and sympathise with her problems. Sometimes, people in the heat of the moment, don't realise quite how much people can hear, and she may be embarassed that you know so much about her personal life. Tell a few white lies, say you've been there, done that, and let her know that others, not you, are planning on going to the management company and that you don't want to see her get into any trouble when she clearly has enough on her plate. Again, I realise that you probably don't want to be this nice to her, but sometimes, in the long run, it is the easiest way to deal with a problem, going direct to the source, in a none threatening way. Some people just lack the self-awareness to be considerate, but it is worth a try.

What you don't want to do, is end up in a few months time, when you are coping with a screaming baby at all hours of the night, having to deal with neighbours who are complaining about you and trying to get you evicted. It pays to think ahead, and treat others as you yourself wish to be treated. I really do understand, it is not easy I know, but worth a try don't you think? And if it doesn't work, you haven't really lost anything, but have gained the knowledge that you did at least try to reason with her and took the higher ground, which will count in your favour later on when baby is teething.

Op, i am sorry for talking too loud on the phone. Jk.

I hear you, especially the idiot drivers. I deal with them for 150000 miles a year. Recently i was in nebraska, driving a tanker. Im in the left lane on i80 doing 70 passing a slow truck. Some dip# in a car was on my ass the whole time. As soon as i got in the right lane he cuts in front of me, nearly hitting me, and slammed his #ing brakes.

Im mad at myself for not hitting the bitch

Move...

It sounds like you're not gonna be happy 'til you're out in the sticks! lol
I had some terrible neighbors in the past and I understand exactly what you're gouing through. I hope you find a peacful place to reside because we all deserve that. Life's hard enough without having to put up with a bunch of idiots. Good luck.

I hear yah sista. I just spent 4 half years with ala poor white trash, just moved into a condo apartment moving on up in the world feeling good. Then I met my neighbors, who used my parking spot as their own( INFRONT OF MY GARAGE DOOR,IDIOTS) loud as hell , I always felt bad for the people behind them because I could hear them and my place is across the hall LOL. Always loud, their 10 year old kid has a mohawk (really wasn't that like 1980s?) and the 6 year old shaved head. The mother would park out front like she was just getting something and leave the car running for like 34 mins at a time blocking me and another neighbor from leaving like ever other day. They had numerous complaints from people in the building with notes on the doors telling them to stop partying in the garage/complex. His whole pack of friends looked like a circus show with the stretched out ears/large earrings. Tattoo's all over, half shaved heads, and punk rock spiked leather clothing type, sad thing is they are all like late 30s-mid 40s (so sad). After numerous confrontations and towing of his car from my space THEY ARE FINALLY GONE!!! muahahahahahahahaha THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for the terrible economy, other wise they might have been able to afford it for longer than they did .^^

but now I got a new guy above me and all he does is stomp stomp stomp all f ing day/night. I didn't even know someone could walk this much in a day. Unfortunately for him IM an insomniac so he will lose that battle shortly ^^ nothing like diablo 3 on surround sound with subwoofer against wall at 1 am-6am ^^

which brings me to a great trick but only works if you have an a joining wall/ceiling. If you have a surround sound system or even just one with a subwoofer. Take the subwoofer part that has the hole, push the subwoofer close to the area that she talks the most or sleeps (works better on bedrooms). Now go download a note from a jazz song or even a base from a cello. Copy paste repeat to make a loop. Turn the system on, and place it between 0hmz-6hmz. And just walk away. It will slowly drive her insane trying to figure out where the almost audible sound is coming from but will never be able to figure it out. ^^ if it vibrates the wall to much you can get some dynomatt or even use a rubber door matt between wall and subwoofer. Turn on when you go to work, or go out.


forgot to add, id bet she is section 8 housing or a renter. ive heard from others in my condo those are the ones to watch out for because "most" dont care about themselves or the ones around them because they arent paying to own.
