so... i live in this kinda busted apartment building in milwaukee where the walls are thinner than paper and everyone acts like they are chill until the second you inconvenience them

my upstairs neighbors are loud. like, not just music loud. like, headboard, yelling, the whole fucking thing. it usually happens around midnight and yknow, im not even mad at the sex part, i am mad at the very fact that i have to be up at 6 in the morning for my ceiling to sound like its being punched

my friend told me to stop being a pussy and just leave a note. so i did. tried to be nice abt it and everything. wrote something like "heyyyyy, guys, i can hear everything, could yall please keep it down after 11? thx xoxo, your nrighbor"

here is the fuck up. my building has a community board by the mailboxes, and i thought it would be funny to make it anonymous and casual, like a little building psa. so instead of slipping it under their door, i pinned it to the board.

but i did not just pin the note.

i also, for some godforsaken fucking reason, added examples. like i was trying to prove i was not exaggerating. i wrote stuff like the bed hitting the wall, the screaming, the part where someone kept yelling "HARDER, HARDER". i even wrote the exact time stamps cuz i had looked at my phone at 12 47 when i woke up annoyed.

i go to work, forget about it, come home, and there are like eight people crowded around the board reading it like it is the damn newspaper. one lady is doing that tight smile thing like she is trying not to laugh. the old guy from 2b is nodding like he is sherlock holmes himself. someone took a photo of it. i know they did because i saw the screen.

then the upstairs guy comes down in gym shorts and flip flops, and he sees it, and his face does that looked like he saw a ghost thing. he rips the note off the board and goes who wrote this creepy shit.

and i should have shut up. i should have walked away.

instead i said i mean, i can hear you, man. everybody can.

he starts arguing, saying i am obsessed, saying i am jealous, saying i am basically listening on purpose and getting off of it. his girlfriend shows up behind him and she is bright red and furious, but not at him, at me. she says i did it to embarrass her and she is not wrong tbf.

now half the building knows their schedule and apparently a couple other neighbors also hate them, so my note turned into a whole thing. like people are now leaving their own notes. one says buy a rug. another says stop screaming. someone drew a stupid little bed on the board.

upstairs couple has been stomping around on purpose all weekend. i am pretty sure they are dropping weights. i have never felt so petty and so guilty at the same time.

TL;DR: i was annoyed by my upstairs neighbors loud rough late night sex, tried to be anonymous, and pinned a titsy-bitsy note on the building community board, describing their sex life in details to the whole building. now the whole building is involved and i might just have to start a neighbor feud atp.
