How would you handle this?

Question

What would you do..(in good taste), if you're upstairs neighbors kept waking you up late at night while they're having sex?
I know it's hard, but try to give me some decent answers...I really would like to solve this problem without any embarrasment! ! Thanks...

Answer 1

I'll be right over, let's show 'em what it's like..
Actually, that's a toughie. I imagine you need the sleep, and that's why you haven't enjoyed the situation.
How well do you know them? Is one or both of them a friend? Can you bring up, or touch on the subject briefly without feeling embarrassed?
I would have to say, when they start up next time, and if you really can't take it, knock on the wall(or ceiling) and turn up the volume on your TV or radio. If you happen to see them after this, I'm sure it will be less embarrassing to touch on the sibject.
I, personally, do not get that embarrassed too much on the subject, and I would make it known, by presenting the couple with a small cheap trophy, congratulating them for longest moan, highest pitch wail, or something about thumps in the night.
Don't allow it to make you feel bad, turn it into humour. I believe both you and them will get a few chuckles out of the situation.
But, if you really need the sleep, it could effect your jobs, or something, then I would definitely let it be known. Don't feel ashamed, remember it's all natural.
Some people would actually pay to have your apartment.

Answer 2

Take the woman aside if you're a woman, and the man if you're a man, sorry, I can't tell by the pic. And just explain that the walls and floors are thin and you can hear everything that's going on in their bedroom at night and it wakes you up when they get going. Ask if they could be a little quieter while romping. (You don't have to use these exact words, considering that you'll be facing them while you're talking, but you get the general idea, I'm sure).
If you can, move to another bedroom in your apartment and see if that helps too. Distance, in this case, could be a good thing.

I like the idea above mine better. It's staying on the safer side of the issue and the people can put two and two together and come up with four on their own without really putting anyone on the spot. Try that one first.

Answer 3

Friends of mine had an upstairs neighbor that did the same thing--only it wasn't always at night! Many times I'd be over there for supper, and the squeaking and other sounds would start. Lot's of yelling and the like. All the neighbors in the building got together, and they decided to leave a note in their mailbox explaining that it was possible to hear them throughout the building during intimate moments. They managed to phrase it in such a way as to show concern for their privacy and embarrassment. The noise promptly stopped.

Answer 4

The "note" idea is the best one. But, if you're inclined to be more direct, I've had good success with pounding on the ceiling until they hear the noise and stop what they're doing. I've used this tactic a few times in my life and it's cured the problem immediately. A broom handle works well for this. Or, you can get a ladder and pound with your fist.

Answer 5

I have to agree with those who say talk to the neighbor about the paper thin walls. If that doesn't work...you could always record their moment and send them a copy of the tape! But, since I'm a bit on the "freakish" side myself....I'm all for the "Join em if ya can't beat em!"

Answer 6

i thought i was going to have this problem too, but then i think the next door neighbors moved their bed or something...thank god i didn't have to deal with it....
but you do...
you might try going over and saying "hi my name is so-and-so, i'm your neighbor...i'm sure you're not aware, so i thought i'd let you know, that late at night at (time they like to do it) o'clock your tv/radio is kinda loud and wakes me up...i'd appreciate you keeping it down"
....if you tell them what time their "tv" is waking you up at a certain time (the time they're having sex) then they will know damn well that it is not their tv and that they're being too loud, but you save them embarrassment by giving them the "out" of blaming the tv or radio

Answer 7

that's a demanding one to grant a single answer to yet somewhat demands some exploring. In concept you are attempting to stick to the desirable approaches of dealing with damaging circumstances, well mannered, civil, calm and so on.... yet whilst it comes all the way down to it if the subjects are provoked to the ingredient that they grow to be burning subjects then the survival intuition kicks in and that i consistently desire that as quickly as that occurs that I somewhat have not made an entire and utter disaster of issues with my reaction. i'm saying that I emotionally convey myself, might ought to cry, might ought to rant, might ought to confront and then blow off the steam based... no count if that's something unhappy like maximum cancers or a coronary heart attack ending yet yet another existence then for me individually that's internalizes. I take that to coronary heart and it variations and outcomes my each and every thought and action yet under the exterior and that i do no longer administration, that's an instinctual reaction telling me to stay my existence as actual as i'm able to because you are going to be long gone in an instant. shop smiling returned at you....:)

Answer 8

Turn around is fair play.Give them a taste of there own medicine .How ever they may not know how thin the wall are .
you could just yell SHUT UP KEEP IT DOWN!!!!!!
you could leave a note that you go to bed early and you would appreciate them keeping it down after certain time
if you can hear them chances are they can hear you .if that does not work . you could call the police if you do not want to deal with them they will say it was anonymous.
you could sleep with the TV on that would drowned out the noise.
or just hope they get tired or move (.EAR PLUGS)?

Answer 9

First, let's hope your upstairs neighbor are good souls otherwise they would just do it to irritate you.

Well, you can leave a note telling them that you are being disturbed in the middle of the night, that you'll appreciate it if it won't be that loud.

Hope this helps, good luck.

Answer 10

I guess some people don't realize how loud they get. I had a roommate once who was very loud but it never dawned oh her that she was. She was simply enjoying the moment. I agree with leaving them a note. The proper way to handle it would probably be to speak to them directly, but for myself, I would be too embarrassed. I hope it works.
