This person's just moved in, and their neighbors are already irritated with them… That's never a good sign!

When you first move into a new building, chances are you'll meet your neighbors at some point. And even if you don't meet them, you'll definitely hear them. In many apartments, the walls are thin enough to allow in sounds and smells. So you might not know your neighbor by name, but you know that he and his kids eat a roast for dinner, since you can smell it cooking and hear the dishes clinking.

Ideally, none of us would have to hear our neighbors, but we can't all live in mansions and penthouses. The best you can do is become friendly with your neighbors. And you can also give a loud cough or two when they're being noisy, just as a little reminder of how that noise travels.

This person has barely unpacked their belongings, and their neighbors are already leaving them notes. U/boughsmoresilent shared that they have quite a few sources of noise in their apartment. But they also seem used to the sounds. And they insist that it's really not noisy most of the time. But still, that didn't stop the internet from roasting them for their choices.

Up next, read about the "belligerent customer" who wouldn't leave a teenage cashier alone, so they got some excellent payback on him.
