It's been 7 years since I bought mime so I'm not 100% sure what it's called, but I believe there can be some negative legal ramifications if your cooker does not have this thing, and there's a fire for example. You really don't want to walk into rotting fish and decomposing meat on a hot summer's day like had to last year for a month.Īlso also something I didn't know until I was researching white goods, cookers require a particular thing on them if you are not on the ground floor. It stunk out the stairs leading to each flat. My current neighbor used to leave his rubbish outside of his door for weeks. So think about how you would feel.Īlso so don't be a dick and leave your rubbish on the communal stairs/communal areas. Just be aware that every sound you make, someone else can probably hear it, unless you're just quietly talking. I can hear my neighbours at it, an on the rare occasion I have somebody round, they've probably heard me too. So think about that when you're listening to music, gaming and having sex.
So now I was getting up at 5 every morning for the whole 6 months I was there.Įvery movement and sound you make, somebody else can probably hear. I once lived under a man who used to get up for work (I assume) at 5 in the morning and his alarm was so loud that I could hear it in my bedroom. Any time I’ve had to have words with neighbours it’s been obnoxiously loud music well into the early hours on a regular basis (so not even a one-off every now and again.) I’m fine with hearing a washing machine from time to time!īe aware that people's days start at different times. Unless they’re being really obnoxious over it, that’s just flat living. You’re going to hear other flats hoovering, having sex, yelling at their kids, yelling at their dogs etc. Even after we told them to please keep it down, they barely managed it.Īlways amazes me when people complain about folk just moving around though.
We couldn’t even flush the loo unless it was desperate.īut she didn’t have a problem having her pissed up mates round until 2am on a Friday or Saturday night keeping me awake when I had to be up for work at 7 in the morning. Girl I briefly lived with (I moved into the flat my husband was in at the time) worked Monday to Friday and got up at 5am so would demand total silence after 9pm. I don’t work weekends anymore but I used to when I first moved to Glasgow. Yeah, I think it’s all well and good saying “weekends are fine” but I think you still need to be reasonable as the party havers. The walls are thin and if everyone is able to accommodate that fact, then it shouldn't be any more unpleasant than it has to be. If I want loud music, I've got headphones for that. I will usually put rugs down though, that way it dampens my footsteps a bit. There's always gonna be noise unfortunately - you can hear when upstairs neighbours are walking around and they can't exactly avoid walking in their own flat. "It's just a party, it's only for today, therefore I can relax a bit." I personally don't mind noise as much if I understand why it's happening. Also gives the neighbours a chance to make other plans, they might choose to go out or stay with someone else if the noise is gonna be a problem for them. If it's a one-off occasion and you're doing it on say, a Friday night, that's fine. Speaking of house parties, I'd say it's courteous to give your neighbours a heads up if you're planning on throwing one. Be conscious of the fact that some people have jobs, kids or both. Definitely don't host a massive party that carries on until 3am on a weeknight if you live above someone else.
