Have you ever. . .part 2 (see part 1 on 11/06/05)?
Well, they've struck again! My pesky neighbors! I get home this evening to find out via a note on my door that I'm playing my "tv way too loud at 5am" Rather pissed off I called the leasing office. Here's how the conversation went -
- Me: Hi, this is Jodi in apt #______, I'm calling about the note on my door saying I was playing my tv too loud at 5am.
- Leasing Lady: Yes, we got a call this morning that this has been going on for 3 days now.
- Me: I'm not even up until 6 am, I know it isn't me.
- LL: Well, 5 or 6 the tv is too loud. The person issuing the complaint is saying that it is so loud they know it's "Good Morning America".
- Me: I don't watch "GMA", I listen to my radio station Alice 105.9
- LL: ::::silence::::
- Me: Look, I know it isn't me, & I want to make that clear. (Thinking to myself, "say something, LL!!")
- LL: Well (and she says this kind of whiney) we don't have proof.
- Me: Ok, fine. I just wanted to call and discuss this with you.
Basically, we chit-chatted & she contributed very little. I just don't get it. I've had noisy neighbors, so I know when to keep it quiet. My question is am I right to call the leasing office whenever this occurs? Or should I just keep quiet?

Wouldn't you think that they would call you to see about it before putting a rude not on your door. If you know who is putting in the complaint, go bother them and tell them you don't like being the butt of their problem.
I think it's the people below me. The ironic thing is they can be loud sometimes too - playing karoke and talking loudly on the patio. This one person that comes to visit them I swear has a microphone when she's on the patio; can hear her clear as a bell. I'd love to go tell them off, but knowing my luck I'd just make matters worse.
I also did some research while getting ready for work this morning. GMA isn't on tv until 7am. My radio's volume goes from 1 to 10; each number has 3 levels. My radio is set at #2/Level 3. Now that can't be loud if you ask me. Maybe I need my hearing checked?
We got some new neigbors that are behind us with a kid, and that kid constantly hits the walls or bumps things into it. I just hope that my neighbor below us doesn't think that it is us b/c we too have a 4 yr old that likes to run. I am constantly reminding him that he can't run in the house.
You could always say something to the neighbors with the noisy kid. I am trying to work on the new theory that until they can prove who's making the noise, they had better leave me alone and I won't worry about the next note should one appear.
