I Hate My Neighbor
I am in an ex council house..I have everything any one could ever want..the only thing I cannot get is a decent nights sleep.
When I first moved here, there was a couple who lived next door in the house...that is the problem let's say. The man told me his wife had cancer and was terminal...so they played music all night..and got drunk.. although the woman was terminal she lasted about 7 years.
But like I said they played music every night to 5/6 am in the morning also they had a dog and they would let in and out all night.. slamming their door so loud a picture fell of my wall so many times, i eventually decided to take it off the wall completely.
Now about myself..I have some problems myself and will be the first to admit this..when I say problems..mental health issues.in short I am paranoid about noises. So this wasn't a good thing for me at this time with his couple next door. Although I understood why they got drunk every night, talking loud and playing music to 5/6 in the morning but that did not make it any nicer for me. Remember this went on for about 7 years until finally the woman died..and odlly enough not that long after so did the man, it turns out he was also dying too and did not even let on to his family.
Now at this stage, when they died..I hate to admit..I thought this is great..but because I was so used to being up to 5/6 in the morning listening to their music..I can not get out of the sleeping pattern they put me into.
Just to reinforce this sleeping pattern the next person to move into that house was a young guy..well to be honest he looked like a nerd..but before long I realized this boy was having all night parties almost every night loads of people in the house, at first I though it was just a house warming party but it did not take me long to realize that is how they planned to live..he lived there for about a year.
Next I got a young couple with a wee girl..they were nice enough people..although they also shut their door really loudly..like one day I was sitting trying to enjoying a film in my living room when Igot the shock of my life..they absolutely slammed their door..next thing the girl from that house knocked on my door and said "I have had the worst day ever"..I thought so that is why you did that and I had to suffer for it...but she was here to use my phone.I thought..ok there is no point in mentioning the door. ON another day before this, it was very windy and all my rubbish blew out of my bin..so I gone round to pick it all up, but when I got there the guy from next door was picking up my rubbish for me and putting it into my bin..I thought.."What a nice guy"..I had a chat with him about the rubbish..and felt so good that he was such a nice guy. I have to walk round the whole building as I can not get out the back as my garden does not have a gate but as my rubbish is round the back I have to walk round the whole building..but when I walked round the other side of my building to get back into my house..again...I go the chock of my life.."SLAM!"...I thought god almighty...such a nice guy yet he shuts his door like a wild animal...So these people were ok really they just seemed to have a problem shutting their door properly. I am not kidding it was really loud. Although these people did not play music in the early hours of the morning. They were very early risers..and did not seem to realize when you are living next door to people and you get up early you do not make the same noise you would make through the day. But really what all this boils down to, is I cannot sleep at night because of those first people kept me up so late for so long..I have been on sleeping pills but they won't give me any more..so basically..I never get enough sleep because I can not get to sleep at night for the reasons explained and there are always some inconsiderate b'stard banging about at the crack of dawn..now this lot of people have moved away and woken up by the council banging and hammering, it is a god awful noise...and i have only had less than 5 hours sleep....my home is lovely.. although at times neighbors have made me depressed and I am too stressed and tired to even bother doing anything, so sometimes even my home suffers for it. Now I am stuck with this problem and someone else will obviously move in next door soon. Not looking forward to it at all.. But finally and most importantly..I also have a woman at the other side of me..I have had some run ins with her simple because she was really friendly with the first lot of people who lived next door..but she has come to realize the problem I had with those neighbors was not really my fault...and we are fine...but here is the thing, she told me she is an early riser too...yet I rarely hear a peep out of her house..it seems to me I have just been so unlucky to live next door to very noisy people. But now I am stuck with insomnia because of it and it is certain that someone will move in and get up every day before 10 in the morning.
In the long term I know that all this has aged me and effected my health..I am lucky as I have everything, it just makes it so annoying that I do, as everything is spoiled as I never get enough sleep for the reasons explained and I feel totally whacked almost every day...
