I have always tried to live on the 2nd floor due to noise of inconsiderate idiots above me. I always walk around in stocking feet and/or barefoot and put front of my foot down first. I make it a point to be very quite because I want to treat those around me the way I want to be treated. I had a friend (now ex friend due to her alcohol problem) who would come over and when we were sitting out on my balcony she would talk loud - I told her to lower her voice and be considerate of neighbors since it was late - she didn't like that because she was a selfish self centered alcoholic white trash ***** so she isn't my friend anymore. I had a neighbor that one night was also talking loud out on their balcony. I opened my door and said - hey guys can you help me out and keep it down - trying to sleep before going to work tomorrow. They were really nice and apologised and were quite right away. I finally met the older lady that lives beneath me and she told me she didn't even realize anyone lived above her that is how quite I was. If only wish everyone would be so considerate to their neighbors and treat others the way we want to be treated we wouldn't have issues.

There are quite a few houses in a small area in my friend's neighborhood, but the neighbors don't really seem to care whom they bother or wake up, or won't let go to sleep with all their noisy ventures.
This morning my friend was woken from a deep sleep by a chainsaw no less at 7 o'clock in the morning!
She had been sick a lot this past week, and wasn't feeling good to start with.
Finally she was able to get a bit of shuteye after watching some good tv shows later in the evening... like after 1 am... I'm quite worried for her, because she's not been in good health for awhile now. She doesn't have insurance either. Last week, before the storm, she was worried she was having all these severe pains in her lungs. She did manage to get a health clinic, but the pains still remain.
Anyway, she didn't know who was operating the chain saw, so she looked out their windows and saw the single woman next door had hired some tree trimmer who were outside using a chainsaw at 7 o'clock in the morning!!
She told me she kept trying to go back to sleep, despite all the horribly loud noise, but it was impossible!
Finally she went outside, and looked to see, the tree trimming service had basically parked several feet on top of her lawn, and were able to crush one of her flowering trees on her property, with their vehicle.
She asked the workman to move their truck. He said he would, but then after she went to get stuff off the line, she'd hung out the day before, her neighbor comes up to her, starts yelling at her, and asking her in this really nasty tone of voice
"what she was doing???
I mean. the neighbor should have been the one to be asked what THEY were doing, starting such a loud operation at only 7 o'clock in the morning!
She just said she was getting their clothes off the line, and the woman started to give her SO much flack.. my friend was so stressed out, she was afraid for her safety! She's got a heart condition too, so it really worries me to hear my friend being mistreated so badly by someone who lives next door!
Then she told me the old big fat guy who owned the tree trimming company ordered her in this really loud voice, to "Go back to bed!"... he also said she could call the cops if she didn't like it!
I mean, good god!
What nasty neighbors my friend has! And to make things more strange, this neighbor who insists on always getting really really LOUD yard work done at the wee hours of the morning, happens to be in the nursing field, my friend told me!
It's all so strange and unpleasant! She also said that she did the same exact thing on Sept 11th, two days earlier, at about 8 o'clock in the morning!
Who has the nerve to start having workmen use a chainsaw of ALL things at only 8 o'clock on a Sunday morning, especially on the 10th anniversary of 911? Can people not have any respect at all for their fellow neighbors?
Does this neighbor not realize that not EVERYONE goes to bed at 10 pm? There's a slew of people who work 2nd shift and don't even get home til 2 am!
Well, it is amazing just HOW inconsiderate some people can be.
My friend is starting to wonder just WHAT they ought to do? The local officials in her town generally speaking, don't do much of anything, if someone makes a complaint about being harassed in their town!
