Has any of you ever had to share walls with others? Apartments? Condominiums? Townhouses? Oh, my! I have and there’s nothing more frustrating than having neighbors whose brains don’t comprehend that you have shared walls.
First example: I came home from work around 5:30 pm yesterday to the sound of booming music in my bedroom. This was not music I was playing (because it sucked). The sound was so clear and loud that the stereo might as well have been next to me.
To stop the noise, I had to pound my fists on the wall. I appreciate they actually did turn the music off, but why was I able to hear it in the first place? Why are they blasting music in a bedroom…one that is ADJACENT TO MINE!
Example two: The slamming cupboard doors. Why do people feel it’s necessary to test gravity and their muscle strength every time they close a kitchen cupboard door? One night, these neighbors were slamming doors like it was an orchestral performance.
Not to feel left out, I decided to join in the cupboard concerto, and added a couple of my own. I have to say, it did indeed enhance the performance. Did it still annoy and frustrate me I had to do that? Yes.
Advice: To those of you who aren’t capable of being aware of others and your surroundings, don’t understand the concept of a shared wall, and live in La La Land….MOVE TO A HOUSE AND LEAVE ME ALONE! Ahhhh….I feel better, thanks for letting me vent.
