An Open Letter to the Guy in the Apartment Next Door

Dear Neighbor,

Well, I guess you’ve disproved my theory that all the cute men in my apartment building are gay. But was it really necessary for you and your girlfriend to have sex in the middle of the night causing me to wake up to the sound of her screams and your bed hitting the wall that separates your bedroom from mine?

Unlike you, I wake up at six in the morning. I have a job to be at during the day, therefore I require this thing called sleep, which I prefer to do between the hours of 11:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. So I ask you a favor–please either do the sex thing in your living room or just wait till I’m gone for the day.

Thanks so much, I appreciate it greatly!

Signed,

Your sleep deprived neighbor

p.s. Please please please do something about the springs in your mattress. So loud.

You should really leave this note under his door. Let him wonder which neighbor wrote it.

i’d have banged on the wall and told them to shut the heck up.
that would probably work, assuming that these people are even slightly normal and the sound of neighbor annoyance mid-coitus would horribly embarass them.

Perhaps it was a man screaming like a woman. That’s it, no more Will & Grace for me.

perhaps you should mention in the letter that the girl was screaming out something about sheldon… you know.. maybe that’ll stop all activity in his apartment

I had a noisy late night neighbor once (different noises). My solution was to make sure I woke him up when I got up early in the morning. So before you leave a note, make the point stick by waking him up at 5:30 a few times.

When my neighbors go at it, I vacuum.

I’m lucky. My neighbors have been dating quite a while, so they never have sex. It’s like living next door to a married couple.
