NEED EMERGENCT SUPPORT PLEASE. I WAS THREATENED BY NEIGHBOURS AND THINKING OF FLEING THE BLOCK WITH.

[mylye2222]

Nowhere to go...

I sounded too noisy to some neighbours so the one who are undzr and beside me hust rang my Bell and threatened tyat next time they would break down my door and kick me out. The besides are btw qcreaming afrer their kids all time.

Please need virtuel support. For me right now ts very very hard....

[Cali_Democrat]

1. just go talk to them. nt

[Warpy]

2. Well, you could try being quieter.

Just a thought.

[randome]

3. Yeah, the all CAPS is pretty annoying, isn't it?

[hr][font color="blue"][center]All things in moderation, including moderation.[/center][/font][hr]

[Raine1967]

4. Why not call the police?

Stay safe, please.

[Cali_Democrat]

5. Not a great idea, especially for black people

Although I don't know the race of the OP.

Police usually make things worse.

I would recommend an honest conversation with the neighbors.

[mylye2222]

8. Im not blaxk..

Yet I am ugly and poor...

So things could go worse

[Raine1967]

10. That is a fair point. However, The OP sounds terrified of these people.

I am trying to put myself in that situation, and I don;t know if approaching them and talking (if it were me) would be the best recourse.

[mylye2222]

11. Yes. I am so terrified my bag is already don.

..... will stop writing for a whike. Cant see through tears.

[Raine1967]

14. Do that. Get yourself calm and with clear mind.

Walk away from the computer for a bit and try to relax.

[cwydro]

7. Yeah, the police

are likely to be of more use than posters miles away.

What kind of noise are they complaining about?

[haikugal]

6. I used headphones...

Now there are even better options. Calm down and don't get into it with your neighbors, it isn't easy living so close to people but it can be done.

[cpwm17]

9. I suggest you should be a better neighbor.

Last edited Sun Feb 8, 2015, 07:31 PM - Edit history (1)

I, like many people, find noisy neighbors unbearable.

Edit: I've lived in an apartment before and noisy neighbors were a big problem, but from reading below, it sounds like your noise was a minor event and your neighbor is the problem. I'd suggest you should call the cops, but I'm not in your shoes.

[WillowTree]

19. Well, I'm sure that will be of great comfort to the OP right now.

Nothing helps a terrified person feel better than being told it's all their fault.

Good job!

[randome]

20. Well, maybe it is. Who knows?

[hr][font color="blue"][center]All things in moderation, including moderation.[/center][/font][hr]

[WillowTree]

27. And pointing that out in the midst of the OP's crisis helps.......how, exactly.

I just hate it when I see people making someone like that feel worse than they already do. There are undoubtedly better times to make that point, if it's even valid. How about a bit of humanity toward someone who's obviously hurting.

[randome]

32. 'Obviously' is suspect. I don't have a reason to doubt the OP but...

...so far I don't see a reason to believe, either.
[hr][font color="blue"][center]"If you're bored then you're boring." -Harvey Danger[/center][/font][hr]

[kcr]

106. They threatened to break down OPs door is a clue

My first instinct sure wasn't to blame the OP.

[bigtree]

31. so you suggest violence against the poster would be acceptable?

...you apparently didn't post on this thread to help. The mocking, baiting, and ridicule in response to this thread (not only from you) is not only uncalled for, it's downright dehumanizing conduct. In fact, it's remarkably cruel behavior.

[randome]

33. No, I suggest a strong cup of coffee.

And to not take the blue pill.
[hr][font color="blue"][center]"If you're bored then you're boring." -Harvey Danger[/center][/font][hr]

[mylye2222]

35. I am a woman. ..

[bigtree]

36. sick

...and heartless.

Very revealing...

[Tsiyu]

95. Yeah, I'm with elehhhhna

but then, this is the same poster who claimed no one is poor as long as they don't have to resort to cannibalism.

This is not a compassionate or thoughtful person, but a bully and an asshole.

[randome]

104. Um, cannibalism? You have me confused with someone else.

Oh! Look! Another DUer made an incorrect assumption! How can this be? That never happens in these parts!

Thanks for helping to exonerate me. Have a heart.

Your words, not mine:

[cui bono]

110. Wow.

Shameful.

[Tsiyu]

111. Sad, huh?

Glad it isn't just me.

[cwydro]

98. Yes.

Somehow missed this earlier.

[Hestia]

55. How do you know what type of neighbor OP is? I had the downstairs neighbor call the cops for

my alarm clock being too loud; because we simply walked across the floors (no, we weren't stomping); because I parked 1/8" too close to driveway (I measured it); because we bbq'd - on and on and on. She was bipolar and didn't work and generally made my life a living hell. Before this, I'd NEVER had the cops called on me. But move to Cleveland and the hell starts.

[cpwm17]

59. I just edited my comment

Many neighbors are too loud, and deliberately so – mostly loud music or sometimes loud vehicles.

The OP's neighbor does seem to be the complete villain in this case. The noise might have been minor.

I've also recently had neighbors that harassed me (they're gone now), so I can sympathize with anyone with neighbor problems. I get completely stressed out.

[kcr]

107. I had a downstairs neighbor call security on me once for vaccumming

At 3 o'clock in the afternoon. She had just moved in. I don't know if she'd never lived in an apartment or what, but thankfully I was at the end of my lease and got out of there.

[Logical]

57. Seriously, what is wrong with you?? nt

[jpak]

12. PWD

yup

[msanthrope]

30. Oh yeah. nt

[mylye2222]

49. When I talked about ugly and poor it was in response to the idea if calling the cops .

And the background question of being a part of a social minority group.

Im talking about serious stuff. This neighbours really violently threatened me and used reallly hurfull words. And one of the neighbour isnt an exemple himself since he spend his time screaming at his very young kids.

I really dont see any topic of jokes. As otherstated above... very revealing.

[SMC22307]

67. Have you called the police? Are you going to reach out to your landlord and/or

property manager?

[cwydro]

51. I don't know what that means.

PWD?

Can you explain to this 50 plus poster?

[uppityperson]

56. Posting while drunk, a way of insulting a ESL person living in another country

during the night time there.

[cwydro]

61. Ah.

Well, I had a feeling it wasn't a good thing.

Hey thanks... I know very few of the letter messages. SMH is another puzzler for me.

[pinboy3niner]

64. SMH = Shaking My Head

A quick google search usually turns up answers for any of these I'm not familiar with, as well as the ones I forget.

[cwydro]

69. Lol. Thanks!

I actually figured I could look it up, but I kept thinking I could figure it out on my own.

NOT!

Thanks again. SMH

[Cha]

92. All you have to do is google and it always comes up with what those initials mean. I finally did

that with smh.

[uppityperson]

79. Huh, I didn't know you lived in Paris also.

Try this link, it might help.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=trash&forum=1002&mid=6198486&rp=1002

[jpak]

81. For all we know, the OP could be a bored kid in Paris Maine - or Texas - or OMC.

Last edited Mon Feb 9, 2015, 12:50 AM - Edit history (1)

None of it adds up.

It's an epic stupid drama thread.

and should have been locked long ago.

yup

[Rex]

87. For all we know you are a sleeper account that just woke up.

yup. Profiles suck on DU3 don't they?

[uppityperson]

91. Why continue to post mean stuff? Hide Thread is your friend

[cwydro]

84. You one of her neighbors?

If you are, leave her alone.

If not, why make mean comments?

[freshwest]

89. Where were these confessions made? That's not in the OP.

[cwydro]

93. Read back,

She never said anything about sex.

She said she was complained about twice .

Must be where your mind took you, I reckon.

Dr Freud, I presume?

[SMC22307]

65. I had to Google it myself...

"Posting While Drunk (While Trolling)." Based on the content of past posts, I believe DU is being trolled. Same with the no-cats-in-the-condo dude.

BUT, if any of this is true, lock the doors, call the police, reach out to the landlord and/or property manager, leave a note of apology with a fresh-baked something or other for the neighbor(s) who complained... just off the top of my head.

[jpak]

78. It means OMC

[cwydro]

80. Stop that!

Don't make me google!

[Raine1967]

74. This just seems like a really mean post.

am I misunderstanding you?

This person may not have English as a first language. Why would you interject John Kerry into this?

[SMC22307]

88. I'm sorry Raine, but based on posting history...

I believe we are being played. If that makes me a bad person, so be it. If I'm wrong, I'll admit it.

[femmocrat]

37. I think English is not her first language, if I remember correctly.

Plus she is upset.

[BlueJazz]

43. Oh...great, Now I feel like a real jerk. (as I should) I'll delete my post.

Thanks much.

[femmocrat]

62. You're welcome.

I didn't mean to make you feel bad, though. (Sorry if I did.)

[PeaceNikki]

15. Are you being noisy? That's not clear in your post.

[handmade34]

16. tough spot to be in...

best thing is take a breath... lock your door... make some tea... keep your noise level down... the key here is you believe you have "Nowhere to go"

for your own peace of mind and safety, stay calm and quiet... that is the best way to start to sort out what to do next

[braddy]

17. What noise are you making, and how many times did they contact you?

[mylye2222]

18. Two times.

And the nlise is my broken beds .

[LiberalAndProud]

21. Wouldn't it be easier to get rid of the broken beds,

than to flee to nowhere to go?


Also, is this a poe?

[cwydro]

22. Wait...

Broken beds?

[NightWatcher]

24. I once broke a bed during intercourse

They threw me right out of the JC Penny home department after that.

[cwydro]

25. !!!

[Logical]

60. Is this a joke to you? WTF!!!! nt

[ChisolmTrailDem]

72. Yea!!!

[Jamastiene]

82. Pfft!

You owe me a new keyboard.

[Marrah_G]

108. LMAO

[cwydro]

23. Get some good air mattresses

Seriously, I've used them in the past.

They're comfortable and quiet.

[FLPanhandle]

41. Wait, was this noisy sex?

Do your downstairs neighbors have children over hearing you?

If so, be slow and silent, or get a new bed, or find another place for sex.

[mylye2222]

26. The right below neighbour rang by m. .

And said I was a crazy whore who deserved to be interned. And that he will break down my door. He even micmiced beating me up.......

[cwydro]

28. Get that recorded next time.

But you might want to make a police report.

[Hekate]

38. Call the cops? Call the landlord? Sleep on an air mattress? Go to your boyfriend's?

Ah, yes, go over to your boyfriend's for sex and try not to yell so loud. The walls in some apartments are really thin.

But at this very moment, lock your doors to these yahoos, drink some coffee, and try to calm down. Start making plans to move -- the "natives" don't sound very friendly at all.

[SMC22307]

46. Sleepy-Time Tea might be a better choice. (n/t)

[Kalidurga]

29. I have no idea what is available in the UK.

[randome]

34. I didn't know they even HAD beds in the U.K.

Huh.

39. I am from France....

[randome]

40. France, U.K., Egypt, they're all the same, aren't they?

I'm just kidding. Look, on the off chance that you're really worried, call the police instead of typing messages to those who, for the most part, live on the other side of the planet.

48. ...

[cwydro]

42. Don't allow yourself to be bullied.

And please don't call yourself "ugly."

Cheney is ugly, Boehner is ugly - it comes from within.

McConnell...eek.

But you're not ugly.

[mylye2222]

44. I am phisically undeniable ugly. ...

The ones who yo are talkin about are mentally ugly.

[cwydro]

47. I don't believe that for a second mylye

and those I named are ugly inside and out.

Hey, you are not hon. Please don't think that about yourself.

[mercuryblues]

102. think

on this.
A few weeks ago I saw a woman who was not attractive by society's standards. Yet, she was beautiful to me. Her inner beauty showed with her smile and her gentle manner, making her much more attractive than she probably was.

Then you have someone like Sarah Palin, who many consider a beauty by society's standard. When I see her talk, you can see the venom on her face with her twisted smile and vacant eyes. It makes her ugly.

I would much rather be friend's with lady #1.

A broken bed can be fixed, hate can not. When I was just starting out on my own the frame on my bed broke and I could not afford a new one. I just threw the frame out and placed the mattresses on the floor.

[Skittles]

100. SCHEDULING RANDOME FOR ASS KICKING

DONATED HEART FIRST TO MAKE IT SWEETER; yes INDEED

[randome]

103. Hey, I can be wrong sometimes.

And I was hardly the only one who thought this was a joke thread. Still, I'll be a little more hesitant to assume anything from now on. Lesson learned.
[hr][font color="blue"][center]Everything is a satellite to some other thing.[/center][/font][hr]

[tammywammy]

50. Call the police.

If you're scared the police there will be more helpful than posters in the US.

Get a new bed.

[riderinthestorm]

52. (((hug))) Hope you can find some peace soon. .. nt

[cwydro]

54. Ditto.

Let us know you're ok

[NaturalHigh]

53. All I can really do from here is wish you luck.

I hope this storm blows over soon.

[uppityperson]

58. I hope it settles down soon for you, sounds like a real pain.

I hope you are able to get some sleep and work it out tomorrow with the neighbors. I do not know if filing a police report would help, but it might. Being threatened, especially late at night, is no fun. Best wishes.

[mylye2222]

63. No. i dont want to leave in fear.

Talk is unusefull with people like this.

[uppityperson]

66. Do you rent or are you in an apartment, condo, that you bought? Have you a building manager?

Maybe you can talk to the manager, if there is one, in the morning. Living in fear is no good.

[mylye2222]

68. Im a renter.

[greytdemocrat]

71. This can't be real.

But it is fun to read.

[cwydro]

75. But

you never know.

I've read the op before. She is French so her English may not be good. But she has had well thought out, sensitive threads before. So I choose to believe her.

Her English may not be perfect, but it's a helluva lot better than my French!

[Rex]

85. Wow aren't you the sensitive one.

Hope you never have a problem talking to someone else in their language.

[840high]

105. Someones pain is fun to read?

[msongs]

73. video all interaction with neighbors using your cell phone if u have one nt

[magical thyme]

76. it can be very difficult to be an underneath neighbor...

doesn't justify threats, of course, but if the person is not able to sleep because of noise over his/her head, that can really mess up their life and attitude.

Can you put your mattress directly on the floor for now, to keep the noise down? Also, keep slippers by your entrance and when you come in, switch immediately from shoes to slippers so your footsteps will be quiet.

[AtomicKitten]

83. Document the threats with video (camera or phone).

Then call the police for help. Take care.

[Rex]

86. I don't think fleeing is the answer. Maybe find another place to live and them move?

Sounds like your neighbors are real jerks.

[Warren DeMontague]

90. I would find local help asap.

I'm not sure how helpful DU can be on this.

That said, I do wish you luck and a speedy resolution.

[cwydro]

94. ...

[Tsiyu]

96. Hang in there.

hopefully they are all talk, no action.

I would call police if they threaten you again, though.
