every day when one of my neighbours comes homes, he whistles
So, one of my neighbours every single day comes home and starts to whistle the moment he opens the door to the stairway and then continues whistling all the way up to whichever floor his house is on and then stops.
He does every day, sometimes multiple times if he's gone out and come back a few times.
Why the hell do people do stuff like this?
Yeah, so shit your neighbours do that annoys you.

What a monster.
I do this.
and if its illegal. Throw my ass in jail.
i have the next door lady who always hums in the garden, and its stupid incessant old woman out of tune humming just stop it stop it im trying to make tea
goes really high and squeaky as if she always needs to clear her throat but never clears it. AEUGHHHEGH.
I don't understand why people do stuff like this
whistling and humming ALL THE TIME.
great thread
by DiS standards these days, it's fucking good
fair
if this was a few years ago
I'd have jazzed it up a bit, maybe put in a humorous anecdote but you just don't need to bother too much these days.
hate it
Had a housemate that did it. Exceptionally smug.
I think it bothers me so much because there is something really passive aggressive about it which I can't abide. You should slip an anonymous note under his door.
will have to follow him slyly up to his house
there's 15 other flats in this stair so it will take some powers to figure out which is his.
I think that's what pisses me off so much is that it DOES seem passive aggressive. My ex-flatmate, not so sound in the head, used to do stuff like that all the time presumably to get a rise out of me. Walk around whistling from room to room and/or playing tinny music out of their phone or sometimes singing tunelessly. They only did this when we were going through periods of 'not talking to each other' so I assumed it was simply to piss me off.
so basically now that I live here
I hear this guy whistling every day from the stairway front door to his front door and I just go 'you fucker'. Old habits, maybe.
but the worst thing is
even though you suspect it was to get a rise from you, to utter such a thing makes you sound beyond paranoid.
That's what makes it such a social weapon.
those whistling bastards are out to get us
tbh
I think he just likes to whistle, but it's just strange that it's EVERY day and EVERY time he comes into the stair and it continues until he's at his flat and then he stops.
Maybe he likes the echo, either way it is fucking annoying.
one of my upstairs neighbours used to leave cigarette butts out the back of our close
and this nasty old lady that stayed next door would get really annoyed about it. early some mornings she'd stand right outside my window and start screeching and shouting about how they were filthy beasts and inconsiderate pigs etc etc.
but no one could hear her except me.
ugh
can't she leave a passive aggressive note like a NORMAL neighbour?
I used to like her apart from that
I think she was mental. You'd say 'good morning' and she'd just mutter 'what the hell is good about it, bloody bins are a state again'
:/
They are feigning a happy, carefree attitude
to mask a world of internal pain and angst.
You see it all the time on DiS.
I do suspect now
that the perpetrator may indeed be a DiSer.
it is however, okay if my grandad whistles.
granddad whistles are allowed in my books.
The crazy bitch
that lived below me has moved out. She complained about everything from the noises made by the heater to the dishwater to just about every guest I ever had. So glad she's gone!
well, I at least have the decency to keep my neighbour complaints to myself/the DiS social board
there is a limit though. Can't stand neighbours who complain about EVERYTHING.
My mum used to have downstairs neighbours that would bang on their ceiling if she so much as dared to put the washing machine on at 6pm.
They banged and complained until she eventually had to leave.
These people must have been
relatives of the crazy woman that lived below me! Some of her greatest hits included:
-Complaining that my friend and I were making breakfast at 7AM on a Thursday because 'I don't get up until 9 and you need to respect that'
-Complaining that the heater woke her up every time it kicked on She made the heating company come out twice and they never found any cause for noise. My landlord HATED her so much.
-Woke up my entire floor on a Saturday night because my boyfriend at the time and I had come home around midnight, had our sexy times, and she claimed we were too loud so she threw a shit fit out in the hallway and called me a slut. Being humiliated in front of all of my neighbors was REALLY fun, let me tell you.
She moved out after I complained to the landlord about her son's obnoxious trumpet playing at all hours of the night. She obviously didn't like having the tables turned. So far my new downstairs neighbors haven't said a word, so hopefully they're nice, sane people.
oh my God
'I don't get up until 9 and you need to respect that' :')
People are psychos.
most people don't 'get' that part of why apartment rent is so much cheaper than house rent
is because you have to share the living space. just because you have a key to a door that lets you into a part of the building nobody else can go into, doesn't mean you aren't basically living with other people.
if you want complete quiet and privacy, do better at life and get a house.
I tried explaining this to her
When you live in close proximity with others, you'll hear everything from water running in the pipes to the heater kicking on to voices. For her sake, I hope she moved to a cabin in the middle of the woods but let's face it, she'd probably complain about the birds chirping.
this is DEFINITELY my aim
I'm crazy, if I had my way I'd live in a house without anyone else living within a 20 foot radius. Maybe more. That'd be great.

I like whistling.
Don't hear enough of it these days.
we should swap neighbours
I want to swap neighbours with Reckoning
how come?
SOAWJO
aaah
my memory of DiS threads is somewhat limited.
just start whistling along every day
nothing more annoying than someone copying your whistling.
throw a brick on his head
He gets in so late at night
Always a fuss and fight
Always a fuss and fight
All through the night
I can't whistle
so I'd probably find him flaunting his cis white male heterowhistling privelege pretty offensive.
haha you cant whistle
Shut up
whistlers are the worst people
i lived with one for a year and it drove me mad. it wasn't even tuneful; he was on some free jazz shit or something. and no matter how infuriating it is, you can't complain or you'll like a right evil bastard. they've got us by the balls.
I know
hapi had it right http://drownedinsound.com/community/boards/social/4421794#r7215838
The bastards!
the couple to my right, argue constantly
they literally started screaming at each other as i opened this reply box
i just don't understand why they're together
The students next door gave a rousing rendition of the Snowman the other night, quite decent harmonies
I'll swap him for my flatmate
who spends at least 35 minutes of every night, irregularly between the hours of 11.30 and 7, blowing his nose like a vuvuzela.
worst sound ever
fucking drives me insane, so much.
My description isn't even an exaggeration
I've never heard anyone do it so loud, or so constantly (six months in this flat and he's never missed a night). He's in the room next to me (and has started already this evening btw, my timings must've been out) and I swear it rattles the windows.
I shared a flat for a year with a guy who had TB and who used to spend a good part of every night /early morning hacking his guts up in the bathroom, and even he didn't come close to this.
eugh
ok, you win.
