So I have this neighbor that lives up stairs from me. We will call her "Stampy" anyway Stampy loves to stamp around on her hardwood floors. Oh I forgot to mention she starts stampn' around at about 1 and does it all night complete with vacuuming and running up and down the stairs to do laundry and playing fetch with her dog. Last night she was talking some "mad trash" about me on the telephone and her voice can be heard quite well in my apartment. Apparently she is waiting for me to get in her face :idontno: anywho here is the big question can she hear me as well as i can hear her? I live downstairs and i have concrete floors will this have anything to do with the way the sound carries?

here is a picture of what stampy looks like or at least what she sounds like....

No, she shouldn't really be able to hear you. Possibly, she feels bad about making so much noise that she has reversed the blame. Kind of like when I would do something mean to my girlfriend and then I would blame her so I didn't get in trouble.....It only work for so long though.

That was a joke jfunn, not funny I guess. Anyway you are not a loud person, I would not worry about it one bit. You pay your rent there just like she does, and you have every right to do as you please. However, if I heard her talking smack about me, I would have to say something to her.

I will feed Kate a bunch of sugar and chocolate, bring her over, and she can yodel. Also the dogs- getting them to bark is way too easy. Stinky incense to rise up through the ductwork. Permanent markers left in the washer and dryer.

Aetheist literature and possibly wiccan might scare her off. :eek:

You need to bring the elephant some peanuts coated with some crushed Ambien and honey. Problem solved.

Jessifunn, maybe the reason she's making such a ruckus--and I don't believe she's oblivious to what she's doing--is because she can hear you as well as you can hear her and she's simply doing tit for tat. This is her passive-aggressive way of taking her angst out on you. I mean, who vacuums and does laundry in the middle of the night? Even night owls spend the night in front of the TV set. They don't do chores. Your neighbor is sending you a message loud and clear that she's mad at you about something.

I personally think it must all be in her head, however. You are the quiet person you say you are. I think she hears voices and blames it on the closest person around, which unfortunately happens to be you.

I think you need to talk to her face-to-face. I have total confidence in your abilities on this one. No bullhorn necessary- I'm sure she will be quite the wuss and you will have complete control of the situation. Bad living situations are just too stressful to let continue.

Gather up the any Jehovahs Witnesses that may be around, they can supply the phamplets and extra support in case she turns ugly an you.

Is she there during the day? If she is there are a few options:

1. Leave music on really loud. One song. On repeat. You can reference the thread where we discuss the songs we hate. Play one of those.

2. Leave the tv on really loud. Leave on the Spanish channel or the Home Shopping Network. Better yet QVC- it's much more annoying.

When she does her laundry:

1. Sneak a red sock in with her whites.
2. Stick a huge ball of lint in the dryer. Or shredded paper. If it sticks it's so hard to get out. Or leaves. Or dog hair. (I'm cracking myself up over here).

Let me think of more and I'll get back to you.
