Well, the neighbors below us are at it again.    They are so loud, you can hear some of what their disagreements are about. I work from home, it is sometimes very hard to focus on my work when it happens. It doesn't just last a few minutes, either. It can go on for hours and hours. They moved in about 2 years ago. I had stopped my yelling and screaming by then, being sober and somewhat "serene", but I sure did my fair share of it that's for sure. (I am a quiet nagger now...)

The woman gave the guy a black eye one time that I know of and he told us that they were kicked out of their last apartment. I have started to go down there and talk to them and decided not to when I remembered us having tires slashed, one after the other, after a disagreement with a neighbor. And to be real honest, that woman most of all scares the crap outta me. She stomps like Bigfoot, slams doors and screams so loud and so long, it sounds like someone having an exorcism (or someone that needs to).  I have called the cops twice out of all the hundreds of times they do this (no exaggeration). I tell myself I used to get upset and yell, why should I judge others?  The reason I did call them is because I could hear the guy screaming at the girl to stop getting physical and also I could hear furniture being thrown. I was worried someone would get killed. The last time I called them, when I was on the patio smoking, the police came, knocked on the door, and they stopped the screaming loud enough to answer his knocks. He wasn't there anytime. I am not sure what he said....then he left and while he was stepping off the porch, they started the screaming back up again. I know he had to hear them and he kept walking. Bigger and sicker fish to fry I guess. I decided I am outta this, none of my business, hope they don't kill one another but I cannot control that. Alcohol may be involved, as they are both drinkers. I hope they will be alright.

No sense in become'n someone else's horror story ... may not hurt to discuss it with the Apartment Manager ... about call'n the police 'n all ... the manager may not want to risk his unit be'n destroyed ...

You are right....we did tell the landlord q while back and he said he gets drunk and loud a lot himself and laughed. He remodeled that apartment before they moved in. He may be in for another remodeling when they leave. He doesn't allow any of us to have dogs because he is worried of the damage they may do. A dog can do less damage than what two out of control people can do and especially if alcohol is involved.

Well......They're at it again
In between the stomping and rearranging furniture I can hear bunches of "YOU! YOU! YOU!'s" coming from one, then the other....
Interesting.....
just was doing a posting about blaming others. I think this proves that as long as one is in blame mode, nothing ever gets resolved.
I am going to use my fighting neighbors as a reminder to me to not blame others and to be willing to accept responsibility!

....I gotta get something outta listening to all their turmoil, for goodness sakes!

(wish I had a remote control fart machine I could leave near their door or window. They need a good laugh to stop taking one another so damn seriously!)
