My partner and I moved into our flat nearly 4 years ago now. At first our downstairs neighbours seemed nice enough, offering to help us set up our TV, getting furniture inside and letting us use their Wifi until we set our own up - how lovely. But then they started being too friendly. Everytime we left the flat they would suddenly be outside to chat and go on about his life, asking personal questions, asking if we were ok paying all our bills and always mentioning how close he was to the landlords and that he was known as the “groundskeeper of the 3 flats”. He was so invasive that it allowed my boyfriend to quit smoking as he’d have to go round the block to smoke to get away from him and eventually he just quit. Whenever we had guests over he would bother them aswell
Stupidly when we first met them I gave them my number incase of emergency. He used to text ALL the time to tell us to keep it down when we weren’t even loud. We are 23 and 35 and are so quiet and considerate. We never play music really or walk heavy footer, nothing. He tried to add us on Facebook and Instagram so I blocked him (and his partner) on everything. So then he started posting hand written notes through the door. “I have to be up at 3AM for work so don’t use your bath or oven past 10PM”. Baring in mind at the time we both worked in hospitality so would want to shower after our shifts (the shower and oven didn’t make any noise). He would send notes about anything and everything and then ring the doorbell to check we got them
Whenever we would see them they would make passive aggressive comments sometimes, they would either be overly nice or rude and make us feel uneasy. Things like “Do you not wear slippers? Your feet are so loud” - I’m 5ft and weigh about 8 stone. Basically trying to make out we are noisy and that our hamster was so loud as they could hear whenever she was in her exercise ball. A hamster
Noisy . What makes it even more hypocritical is that they are the noisiest twats ever. He has a £10K TV setup (apparently) and it sounds like we live above a cinema, not to mention they’d play loud music all the time and listen to the same songs repeatedly. It would start as early as 7AM to 1AM in the morning. It used to be so loud it would honestly make me cry. I have anxiety so they used to make it even louder when I was on my own to scare me. Not to mention if I was home alone, he would bang on the door and ring the doorbell, screaming my name for no reason or to tell me a letter or parcel had arrived. My boyfriend ended up telling him not to knock on if I was alone because it scared me and he laughed. One time my boyfriend went away and I was alone. He heard me come down the stairs (which is above their bathroom) and stood right infront of the door and waited. Luckily I ran back up to see if my friend was here to pick me up and I saw him, he had his arms crossed and had the biggest grin on his face, as if he was waiting to ??? I don’t know what, baring in mind he’s60
Their door is also above our bedroom so when they smoke it would travel into our room so we try not to open the window in their a lot. They smoke atleast 50 times a day so it’s constant. They slam the front door so hard the entire floor shakes. I can hear them stomping around constantly and arguing - they have some nasty arguements and I’ve heard his partner accuse him of hitting her. The lady also has two sons who are vile and the entire family doesn’t speak at a normal level - they shout
One time I was bringing some shopping home and he saw I had bagels and told me that I shouldn’t be eating them, no wonder I’d gained weight (yes I did because I was 19 at the time and a size 4, a very unhealthy weight with food related issues). Then they both proceeded to tell me where I had put weight on and how I should lose it as they’d lost weight (they are bigger than me and my boyfriend put together). But they weren’t trying to upset me... yeah right
I remember when our hamster died the lady laughed and took the piss out of me, “oh diddums what a shame”. Eventually we had enough as did our other neighbours who live in a bungalow attatched to the two flats - which by the way, there had been 4 new couples who moved in and left since we’d been there, including the house infront and they all said it was because of the neighbours. I rang our landlady who is lovely and she was gobsmacked, we had recorded them being vile and sent it to her, along with pictures of all the notes they had written and screenshots of messages they sent to our other neighbours about us, commenting on our appearences and how my boyfriend was a “snobby c*nt* because he’s training to be an accountant? She sent her husband round and he gave them a right telling off. He tried to deny it but the landlord didn’t believe a word and told him to stop saying they were mates because they weren’t He also told them that if we complained again he would be kicked out. Since then they have been put in their place. We haven’t really heard the TV or music since. If it does ever get loud for a second he apologises like a little child Nice as pie. Makes us casseroles now and gets us presents

they even came out to reassure her my heating wasn’t affecting her in the slightest, what a waste of their time!
(front and back). We’re not the only house that doesn’t have a cat, there’s actually more houses that don’t than do. But it’s only ours they
