Tenant loses it at downstairs neighbor after she hosts a "Girls Night" until 1:00 AM on a Tuesday: 'Some of us have work in the morning!'

This tenant had the unfortunate experience of living above a fully grown lady who still acted like she was at the height of her sorority days.

For a while there, it seemed like the author had found the perfect place to live. In his area, it was well known that his apartment was located in a quiet neighborhood. The building had plenty of rules about quiet hours as well. Everyone obeyed these rules happily. Neighbors were kind to one another but kept a respectable distance as well. It sounded like you never felt as if you were living on top of anyone or vice versa.

At the time, this was exactly the kind of living situation that the author wanted. He was thriving… that is, until the new neighbor moved into the apartment directly below him. She had a private balcony and would invite her "girlies" over constantly to gossip about work, their love lives, and just about everything under the sun. Noise would travel pretty easily to the author's personal space. 

At first, he wasn't too frustrated by this. In fact, it was kind of a positive change of pace to have some background noise for once. However, it did not take long for these gatherings to get more and more frequent, more and more crowded, and more and more noisy.

  • The final straw was during an impromptu party that the tenant's downstairs neighbor threw on a Tuesday night. It was a “Girls Night In” party, which truly made it sound like this person was still stuck in her collegiate partying days. Regardless, the night was not relaxed. It wasn't quiet. It wasn't even remotely tame. 

    It also went very late for a weeknight. For whatever reason, when her parties went past quiet hours in the past, the property manager remained hesitant to call this lady out on her shenanigans. So, the author realized that he was going to have to confront this lady and her “girlies” himself. 

    We can't help but wish him the best of luck moving forward because making enemies with a college-minded adult with a clear case of arrested development cannot be easy for anyone.
