to move in to a duplex at 10pm on a week day is already an interesting choice; but whatever, place the furniture in the home, set up ur bed and finish in the morning, right?? no. why would my downstairs neighbors think it’s a great idea to set up ALL OF THEIR FURNITURE at now almost 2am?? the only props they’re getting is not blasting music while doing it. am i the asshole for being annoyed by this obnoxious introduction???
Some people don’t have the luxury of a better time. Have a little patience.
luxury of time during a day most locations/jobs are closed? also i get that which is why i said whatever to them just getting the stuff in the house. but move it when its not 2am to have some decency for your neighbors or at least attempt to do it quietly. they are consistently scraping furniture on the floor atm. it’s obnoxious
Boohoo
I also work shift, that’s bs. You can always be careful and respectful. There is no excuse not to be.
They might not be aware of the noise though.
They might still be working full time so over night is the only time they have available to move and set up. Give them some grace and see if things setting down.
That’s no excuse. You need to mind other people in a building like this.
They can absolutely do unnecessary work at a normal time. We are not talking about eating or using the bathroom.
NTA Not sure where you live but in my country this is literally against the law. No unnecessary/excessive noise between 22h-6h, sundays or around lunch time. This includes showering for longer than necessary.
I am also working shift and long hours, that’s no excuse. People can whisper, move carefully, get a carpet, hurry up when showering and do unnecessarily loud work at a normal time.
We would write a note, then talk and if that was not helpful call the police.
Some people are not aware how loud certain things are and how they can walk to avoid being perceived as elephants.
exactly, i have to be up at 7 for a 10 hour shift, so god forbid i don’t want to struggle sleeping while listening to them move in. everyone is fighting time, not a reason to slam and scrape furniture at 2 am.
i will likely say something tomorrow if i run into them once i get home from work.
What does saying something here actually solve? Are you worried they’re going to move in at midnight again? Maybe give it some time to see if this is the only inconvenience. You could very easily be the author of your own misery with a confrontation as your introduction.
as the previous commenter mentioned, they may not be aware of how loud they are; in which i wouldn’t be confronting, just addressing the issue. i likely won’t remember to do it unless i see or hear them move stuff again, which if it does go until this time again i will be addressing it.
You seem like a control freak and a complete nightmare for a neighbor. Get over yourself…the world doesn’t revolve around YOU!
