Hi Ladies! So... I haven't posted on this board before, and have been lurking for a little while, but I feel like you girls are the right people to pose this question to.. and this has also turned into a bit of a rant and I apologize in advance if you're choosing to read through...
A new neighbor moved into the apartment above me about a month ago and she is super noisy at late, late hours. The problem is, I'm not sure if she even realizes she's noisy and is just an inconsiderate beezy. She stomps all around her apartment at midnight and later slamming doors and cabinets and dropping bowling balls? I'm not sure. She's not a heavy girl, so she really must be stomping. We've been giving her the benefit of the doubt because she's "settling in" and continues to have more furniture delivered like every weekend, but I'm pretty sure she's had plenty of time to "settle" at this point. The stomping goes on every night between 11PM and 1AM. FI wakes up at 3:45a to get to work by 5:30a (he's on stockmarket hours) and she's constantly disrupting our sleep! I'm an extremely light sleeper and have to wake up at 5AM for my job and her stomping wakes me up every night without fail.
So the problem is that I'm not sure how to handle this because it's not like she's bumping loud music or having wild parties... She's just an inconsiderate human. It doesn't help that these apartments aren't anywhere near sound-proof. I'm also pretty sure she doesn't work and someone else is footing her bill for her two bed apartment she's living in alone -- more opportunity to stay up late and bang around!
Sorry for the rant, but I'm just really not sure how to handle this. We haven't spoken with building management because they've proven useless in the last month and a half we've lived here, and I don't want to confront Miss Noisemaker upstairs for fear that I'll just piss her off and she'd start making more noise out of spite. We all know how writing an anonymous note worked out on Jersy Shore, so I'll avoid that.
Anyone know of a tactful way to ask her to be a bit more considerate after 10 PM?
