“…Ladies and gentlemen, the story you are about to see is true. The names have been changed to protect the innocent…”
"I was working the afternoon shift in downtown central when my partner and I got a call. It fit all the earmarks of a flatulence offense. I notified the captain and shared notes with the natural gas task force before proceeding to the reported location in an unmarked car.
Hotel Manager: “There must be some mistake. We run a respectable place here…”
Sergeant Joe Friday: “No, sir, it’s no mistake. Boston Market Baked Beans. When will these kids learn how badly this stuff destroys their minds…?”
I moved into a house once, there was an issue with the neighbour leaving his TV on really loud at night. I mentioned it to the others in the house and they said they’d hoped I wouldn’t have noticed. Pretty odd right?
So I went and spoke nicely to the neighbour, seems it would happen when he came home from the pub - whack the TV up loud and fall asleep. Once he found out which bedroom I was sleeping in he was delighted - unknown to me the housemate had been in that room before I moved in. He was indeed tormenting one of my housemates who’d complained to the police several times. The bastard moved the TV downstairs to the room adjacent to the housemates bedroom - the one who’d complained. I went back and told him I’d had to move to the downstairs bedroom because of the noise upstairs and he moved it back up … we managed to make a bit of a fool out of him and to point out that his harrassment was deliberate - he’d always maintained to the police that it wasn’t against the law to fall asleep with the TV on. He ended up having a bit of a moment on the pavement there - he’d just got divorced, was having a hard time and was getting a kick out of tormenting someone. No wonder the wife got rid of him!
Anyway - the local bobby had another word with him and he stopped.
Might depend on if one side has a creaky bed and the other doesn’t. My previous bed was incredibly creaky, my current one probably wouldn’t make a sound if I were jumping on it.
I believe the op. The neighbor is laughing at you, and is trying to make your life as miserable as possible by laughing at you, and commentating at everything you say and do in your house.
Do I understand correctly, your family lives in this exact same house and not only do they not hear the neighbor comments but they don’t believe that you do either?
When I moved out of the ex-wife’s house and into a townhouse, the sad bitch next door tried some of this crap. After she got busted for paying very loud music at 3am (and claiming it wasn’t her, it must be someone else), she decided to get even with me. So she would wait until I turned off the downstairs TV or stereo and went to bed. Then she would turn on a TV in their guest bedroom (right next to my bedroom) very loud and leave it on until shortly before her husband came home.
After lots of complaints went nowhere because she was friends with the property manager and would get warned when they were coming over to check on the complaints, she ended up getting busted when the property manager and I were standing in the parking lot discussing it, the PM threatening me over these ‘lies’, and her husband walked up. I explained what was happening and he says, very matter of factly “Oh, I wondered why the TV was in the guest room”.
Some of you believe me, some of you don’t. I am so sick and tired of what they are doing to me. They can’t wait for me to get back home. They repeat w.e. I say to my family/w.e. my family says to me. It’s reaching a tipping point for me. This is a husband and wife btw. I can hear the bastard just plonk himself next to the walls separating our bedrooms, and I can hear the floor creak every second he’s there listening to my breathing and sleeping patterns. Judging me based on that, gossiping about me, and laughing about me till 2am in the morning. It’s so frustrating. Sometimes I think the floor is going to cave right under him and he is going to fall straight through it and suffer a major concussion. Maybe that will give him more reason to stay at home, and spy on innocent people. I can also hear that idiotic wife of his say, “huh??What’s happening??” every time I say something! It’s not as if she’s being discreet either. These Fools with a capital F, they think they can’t be heard when the ventilation system comes on. Also, to check if I’m really asleep at night they come to my bedroom and tap the walls to see if I respond by either coughing, or turning in my bed. Oh God please deliver me from this evil. I can no longer bear it. I can’t move either, I don’t have the money. It is really just not fair. I feel like I’m being scrutinized on a daily basis. I feel like I’m suffocating. I have had many sleepless nights. I have cried so many nights, my parents don’t believe a word I say. They think it’s a load of BS. I feel like I’m being targeted here for no reason. Even as I type this I’m being judged. I just heard that idiot say “Oh my God…” and then something else. They stalk, spy on me. I can hear gossiping sounds through the walls on a daily basis. It’s really making me sick to my stomach. When I go up to my bedroom to sleep they’re up there. When I come downstairs for breakfast they’re down here with me. When I’m in the kitchen they’re there too. I can always hear the word “See”,“damn” or just plain laughter. They have no lives. They’re like parasitic human beings. Living off of my life and my experiences heard from the conversations I have with members of my family.
I implore you to get to a doctor. Please tell your parents you need to see one immediately and if they won’t take you, you go by yourself. If the doctor feels the police should be notified about your neighbors, he will do so or tell you how to do it. But please tell what you’ve posted here to a medical professional. Print out your posts if you feel you can’t present your thoughts easily in spoken words. Perhaps print out this thread and show your parents. How about teachers at school, or the school psychologist? Maybe you could explain your situation to him/her and ask for advice.
Seek professional help. Seriously, I cannot believe any wall is thin enough to hear someone’s breathing patterns. Hell, I can’t hear someone breathing unless they’re sitting close to me. I also don’t know how they could pay attention to your sleep schedule, without fucking up their own.
People saying “see” “damn” and laughing are not proof of spying. I say them all the time, and I don’t spy on my neighbors.
