I miss my old downstairs neighbors. A lot. A *whole* lot.
New neighbors moved in today.
How did I determine this?
It wasn't the car in the assigned parking space for that apartment, nor was it the moving truck outside.
It was the joyous feeling of vibrating floors and constant thumping I've had to endure all. damn. day. (it was thumping when I got home from visiting my parents at 3pm, and it's been thumping ever since)
::suppresses urge to throw things & cut the power lines to the downstairs apartment::
I actually got up the nerves to walk down to the apartment, knock on the door, introduce myself and ask them to turn the music down.
I don't know what I was thinking. Of course the new resident was completely unable to hear me knocking on the door, and these apartments don't come with doorbells.
So I called and left a message at the apartment complex's management office to complain.
I can't live like this!
I can't even enjoy my own living room any more. It's insane!
ETA: Managed to catch my new neighbor as he was getting out of his pickup, on his way to unload some more stuff into his new apartment. I introduced myself, and mentioned that he'd had the music going quite loudly all afternoon. He was very nice about it, apologized and said he'd go turn it off. [note to self: I think he said his name was Russell]. Hopefully the music won't become an issue in the future. I told him I had a birdfeeder up, but that I had lots of mats down on my balcony floor so there shouldn't be any mess falling down to his patio, but if there was to please let me know. He was very nice about it and said that he doubted it'd be a problem. I really hope that today will be the last of my thumping music problems with him.
::am very relieved::
::hopes headache will now be able to go away soon::
