Badfinger Posted March 22, 2015 I really don't understand people who wear their shoes indoors. That's funny, I was just thinking about this! I don't understand how people can handle not wearing shoes all the time. I feel much more comfortable when I am shod and my feet are infinitely less cold.

Thrik Posted March 22, 2015 Socks and more socks are the solution to cold feet. They're not meant to be contained within coffins all day! Soft slippers are acceptable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Badfinger Posted March 22, 2015 I accept that I'm the one that's going against the grain re: footwear, but I really like shoes. Sittin' around the house doing Sunday stuff fully shoe'd up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Twig Posted March 23, 2015 I'm convinced she knows I've switched the rooms my computer desk is in and has thus moved her shoes-on pacing (and random loud thudding WHAT THE FUCK IS SHE DOING) to "accommodate" me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BadHat Posted March 23, 2015 I lived directly below a Chinese karaoke bar for a few months. You know that scene in Rush Hour (I forget which one) where Chris Tucker freaks out because the guy is completely slaughtering Michael Jackson? Every. Night. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tegan Posted March 23, 2015 Almost got a new apartment nailed down, I think. I'm scared about moving to Halifax (and I still don't feel financially stable enough to go through with it), but I wanna do this. Follow-up: so today's the day that I call about the apartment, but looking at my finances I'm not so sure about this. I don't think I can even afford the deposit right now.

Ben X Posted March 23, 2015 The neighbour below us isn't too bad, except when she gets a new album and plays a track off it on repeat for an hour at a time until the bass line is burned into my ear canals. The neighbours above are incredibly loud with everything they do. They stamp around, they hammer things, they yell conversations. The worst thing when we moved in was their twice-daily sex sessions. For half an hour we'd hear subtle squeaks, then there'd be 5 minutes of jackhammering, then a loud crash as they leap out of bed. This happened at 11pm and 7am every day, above our bedroom. At least we weren't getting woken up by it, though. That is until they started having sex at 4am. After that happened a couple of times, I had to write them a note revealing exactly how detailed a knowledge of their sex life we had and asking them to indulge in more considerate activities at 4 in the morning. Since then we haven't once heard them have sex again, at any hour. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thrik Posted March 23, 2015 Hahahahaha. Sex is one of those weird things because I've definitely heard my neighbours at it, but then I know I've been pretty loud with it at times so I kind of excuse it as part of adult life. Of course, there's a difference between that and it being every single day. This is why you just can't live in apartments if you have kids. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tegan Posted March 23, 2015 I called about the apartment and they're gonna send me an application. I hope I get in, but at the same time, I'm incredibly nervous about money stuff for this entire thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ben X Posted March 23, 2015 Ben, did you clock the jackhammering at 5 minutes? I didn't get a stopwatch out or anything, but it was uniformly around that... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
undermind9 Posted March 23, 2015 we live in a town house and still have to deal with neighbor noise. I suspect they have their sound system against our opposite couch wall and there is a deep thundering bass that comes through. Happens a lot during the week and weekends around 9pm i dont even know what they are watching, sounds like Transformers. My wife is going to write a letter, or start banging on the wall like a crazy...TBD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
undermind9 Posted March 24, 2015 my wife and i put up a mock movie poster baby announcement today to our respective social media accounts. its pretty nice seeing how many people "like" or comment, but certainly highlights the real dolts that are allowed to post to the world. <15yrs ago their opinions would have been confined to bars and their likely dolt-y peers fortunately there is "delete post" control Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We hear thumps occasionally, but not loud enough to bother me, I'm more concerned at times that the thumps are due to the volume of my TV, but then I turn the TV off and there's still thumping, so whatever I guess. I would never live in an apartment complex ever again. I'm too worried about thumping too much on the floor that it disrupts my lower neighbors and am tired of hearing the bullshit from my upper neighbors. I can tolerate sharing a wall.

tegan Posted March 24, 2015 I finished applying for the apartment. I don't think I'm going to get it, specifically because I don't have much of an income since I live on handouts and commissions. I don't think I'm gonna make it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
