A man has slammed his ‘nightmare’ neighbours as they love nothing more than complaining about everything he does – including walking around his house and doing one thing in the bathroom.
Nightmare neighbours can make your life way more difficult than it needs to be.
Moving into a new house is an exciting venture, but there are some factors outside of your control that can make even the most perfect of homes feel like a nightmare – particularly when it comes to your neighbours. You don’t have to become best friends with the people living next door, but most of us will at least be cordial.
However, being nice to your neighbours can be tricky when they won’t let you live your life. One man has said his neighbours have been making his life a living hell ever since he moved in, as they keep complaining about every small noise he makes. From watching TV to walking around and even flushing the toilet – his neighbours always have something to moan about.
In a post on Reddit, the man explained he recently moved into a flat with his girlfriend, and the elderly couple who live below him are “such a nightmare” that he’s beginning to regret moving in.
He said: “The neighbours are an old couple, and they literally complain over everything. We can’t even walk around the house without one of them banging on the ceiling. Apparently, our TV is way too loud when it isn’t. We don’t have any soundbar or speakers or anything. It’s just the TV, but again, it’s on quietly.
“They also complain if we flush the toilet at night as apparently it disturbs them. They also complain when we use our washing machine as apparently it rumbles the floor. My girlfriend works in the afternoon while I work 6am-3pm, which means I get up at 4am to get ready for work, and apparently, I’m stomping around and crashing around, which is not true.”
The man insisted the only time he or his girlfriend have actually been noisy was when they were moving in, but everything else has just been “normal household noise”. He also claimed his neighbours even complained when his girlfriend was vacuuming, insisting they had been making nose “for ages” when in reality it had been about 10 minutes.
At the end of his post, the man asked for advice as he believes his neighbours are going continue being a “problem” for him. He said he has written to his local council about the situation but has not yet received a response.
Commenters on the post urged him to simply “live his life” without worrying about his neighbours’ complaints as he isn’t making excessive noise and his neighbours will have to deal with it.
One person said: “Live your life at a regular volume. Whatever you do will p**s them off. Learn to laugh at them for the irrational, annoying neighbours they are. In time it will bother you less. Good luck.” And another added: “I think your neighbours are just being difficult. Just ignore them. They will find something new to hyper-fixate on soon enough.”
