General Advice Corner

[CCB III]

Live in a block of flats. Quite a few young families about. Downstairs neighbours have two kids, the older one, who must be around 6/7 is constantly making noise. Feels like every time I'm chilling in my living room it's thump, thump, thump to the point where it's shaking the shelves. 
 

It's like the kid is doing laps up and down their fucking flat. The Dad is an acquaintance of mine in any case, but I'm not sure how to approach it.

 

Kids are kids, and you expect some amount of noise, but this crazy. I can't tell though, if it's me being a highly strung weirdo or if it's actually a reasonable complaint. My girlfriend gets annoyed with it too. 
 

The parents are nice folk, I just dunno how they aren't telling the kid to be quiet. 


I don't want to be so confrontational as to go knock on the door, and feel like I'd be a pussy if I sent a message. I've no idea what the response would be. 

If it was adults making heaps of noise, that would be one thing, but because it's a kid I feel like I can't say. 

 

Anyone ever dealt with this type of shit?

Sounds like this could escalate.

I used to know a couple who had an autistic child, not one of the clever ones, he was a gigantic eating machine. Anyway, he had the mental development of a large dog. He had the run of the house 24/7 and kept his own hours, stomping around the house and breaking into the fridge every time he felt the need to graze. His parents were a pair of feckless, workshy, benefit scroungers. They and the people around them carry that burden, much more could have been done to control the young lad and make sure he was ready when the school transport arrived and build some routine into his life.

Tell them their kid is cute but you are a peado, they’ll soon move.

Amazed there’s not been a dildo on the Dad’s bonnet / shag the Mum yet.

Seriously though you maybe could at least mention it in a nice way and they’ll might keep an eye to make sure doesn’t happen all the time. If they don’t know they can’t fix it.

[Guest milne_afc]

Kick him in. He’ll only get bigger and stronger then he’ll have the upper hand.

They're your downstairs neighbours? That's some racket he must be making if your shelves are shaking.

Anyway, just act like an adult Consi min. You come across as an articulate and decent lad. Just give him a call and explain the situation.  He's probably oblivious to the fact they're disturbing you so much, especially as they're downstairs.

Sounds like the flat's soundproofing is shite so for all you know when you're walking about your flat it could sound like an elephant stomping around for the family below you.

Even approach it by explaining your situation and also asking if noise from you disturbs him, and if there is anything you can do better to limit the noise they hear.

Yeah, that's probs the thing to do. 
 

Fuck knows how to word it, though. 
 

I'll come up with something.

The dad? He'd rearrange my face. 
 

Plus he's a decent guy and like DF said, they are possibly oblivious to the noise.

Failing that, shag his missus and bribe her to keep the little shit quiet.

In all seriousness you should move house, Consi. You could have a word ( it could cause you grief with the parents) but there’s no way a kid is not going to run about the house no matter how many times you tell them. 
 Besides they should be running about. Better than sitting on their arseholes all day playing gaming machines.

Aye, kids will run about, but it shouldn't be shaking my living room shelves, surely? They are mounted to the fkin wall 😂

 

I grew up in houses and my Mum and dad Would forever be going mental about the racket me, my brother and sister would make. 
 

I get that kids will be kids but surely there's a limit to that!

I once moved 4 times in a year, so yes

[Simply Red]

Make as much noise as possible when pumping the missus. 
Drum n Bass at full vol in the flat whenever you go out.
Leave a few hypodermics lying about the communal areas. Even take a shit in it.

 

[Misers Hill]

Best to just shut yer pus Consi. Nothing good will come of moaning to them about it. The kid isn't going to suddenly become quiet and you'll just stress the parents out.

Write a link to this thread on the wall of the landing

[For Fecks Sake]

Next time you see the dad, make a jokey comment along the lines of "fucking hell, you putting up a ton of shelves in your house just now, we've heard some amount of noise from your flat lately".

See what he says thereafter.

Surely to fuck he will take the hint but if not, yeah dildo on the bonnet, shag his misses and then repeatedly slap one hand onto the back of the other hand while mouthing "spazzy mojo, joey deacon" to the kid when his parents aren't looking.
