So, 1 PM. Middle of the afternoon. Apparently, my washing machine is so loud it warranted neighbors calling the apartment complex to bitch about noise.
Now, I have to ask... what sort of stupidity motivates that sort of dumbfuck passive aggressive horse shit? What kind of moronic son of a cunt do you have to be to think you even remotely have room to complain about noise, in an apartment complex, at lunchtime?
For fucks sake, at 7:30 AM, me and my son got woken up by the landscaping crew, with riding mowers and weedeaters. Did they call and complain about that? I bet they didn't. I sure didn't, even though it was kind of annoying.
What makes people gravitate to that kind of juvenile drama? I'm telling on you guys! I've lived in apartments before. There wasn't enough noise coming from my apartment to justify a complaint at 2 in the morning, I would know, I've tried complaining about more noise at that hour, to no avail.
So do people just get some sort of sense of rabid superiority from being quieter than me and my three year old son? (He's also remarkably quiet inside for his age.) I mean, if you happen to work nights, I could see a complaint being marginally justified, but let's face it. If you live in an apartment, and have a strange sleep schedule, you're just fucked. And if you're not asleep, normal daytime noise levels aren't something anyone has a sane reason to bitch about.

That is very ridiculous. Did the complex do something about it?
They called us to let us know, and then the office lady took a tone like I was climbing out of her end of the phone to breath fire when I explained that, between it being 1PM and the clothes washer being the loudest noise in the apartment, the complaint was silly.
I even made sure my voice stayed jovial, and my language civil while explaining that. But seriously, she sounded like I was summoning forth the ghosts of my ancestors from the pits of hell to attack her with hentai tentacles. Because after all, any man who's home during the day should be treated like a serial cannibal.

Those should tide you over until next time I'm pissed off.
The main issue is that cluttering the blog sidebar is a no-no on TL, so yeah.
Thanks, some of those are true classics. I still think the tech support hos was a great idea.
No, it was one of the worst ideas ever. After it got spotlighted, we had a massive influx of idiocy for ~2 months. Whether it was honest stupidity, or trolling in hopes of being in a follow-on, it was terrible.

Oh, certainly, people who complain about noise in the middle of the day from a washing machine would absolutely not complain again if that specific source of mild noise went away.
Next up, my air conditioner or shower would be a problem. Or maybe my keyboard. Maybe when I start my truck in the evening to drive to TKD, that's too loud. God help me if I punch in my PIN at an ATM 5 miles away. That would probably rate calling the FBI.
I get what you're talking about, I've lived in apartments for several years. You're right, people are stupid, but you'll inevitably come to this conclusion: there is nothing you could do or say that would ever change who they are. The only thing you have control over is not being in close contact with stupid people. That is what you need to work towards, because there's only one of you and billions of them.
It's real hard, but you truly do have to grin and bear it else the stupids win; they've gotten under your skin. Put yourself in a better position in life, and get out of apartments!
Me: In house now, two kids, neighbors are cool because of their socioeconomic status, i.e., they're not ignorant (people behave and at the level of their intelligence), they make good choices, and they in effect reward themselves with their education by subjecting themselves to less and less contact with stupid people.
EDIT: Do not take offense as the following honest statement will hopefully prompt you to reevaluate your standing right now and reaffirm your choices as being the right ones for the situation you're in. Make an honest question of yourself, "are you stupid too?" Another way to put it would be, "are you any better than them and do you deserve to be in the same boat as they are?" My guess is no, you do not deserve to be at the same level as they are, but look around. It seems that you are... You know what you gotta do!

Our area isn't exactly easy to buy a house in. The lending market is still skittish, and prices are sky-high due to high demand. It's in the long term agenda, but it's not doable right now.
Houses just come with their own brands of stupid people drama, like Neighborhood associations and watches, social expectations, pets, and so forth.

Difference is that you are living with people that make more money than people that live in apartments, which means these people make better choices on average than those that live in apartments. Houses do have their sort of responsibilities, but house living filters out stupid people who don't wanna deal with that "grownup" stuff, right?
Also, you're right, don't buy right now, but look around for rent. Stupid people don't put the work in either to look around and constantly try to get better. That's an advantage you have over them, so exercise it. Also, I would take the pets, neighborhood associations, etc. over noisy crackheads, noisy teenagers, or noisy single guy douchebag parties at 2am in the morning any day.

Nah, right in between Round Rock, and Austin, in Texas. Both fairly big in the tech industry, with Dell owning most of Round Rock, and with UT in downtown Austin, even apartments are at a premium. We pay about $1k a month + utilities for a 2 bed, 2 bath @~1100 square feet. That's in a reasonable area where there's not a ton of college kids and crackheads, but not an upscale area or a prime location.
Living in Austin is a nightmare due to traffic and parking, Round Rock is at a premium as an extension.
Also, whoever manages the apartment complex should never have talked to you about it, they should have handled that neighbor right when they called by saying that there's no restriction on the general noise level at 1pm.
There is also a subtext here that relates to the fact that to save construction costs and have a lower monthly lease rate per unit, the apartments were constructed with a certain amount of frugality, and one side-effect of such an economic use of building resources is a poor amount of sound dampening (i.e., you knew what you were getting when you signed the lease).
People are chickenshit, true, but this doesn't really relate to that since that person who complained (who is most likely a craven chickenshit anyway) was following the proper procedure. Again, the apartment complex manager or rep seems like they failed to handle this situation properly.

Oh man, yeah I wish I paid $1k a month! I'm doing about $2200 for a 3bed 2bath in Southern California! I would only suggest looking (if you're even able to move any time soon) for a house to rent, often times you can get better rates from original owners than you ever would from an apartment complex. This is in addition to the better value you get for your money when you rent a condo or house from an owner.
In my experience, it is these types of people (who complain and call the police) who will get evicted eventually.
On another note, it makes me chuckle to see the rent comparisons. I lived a pretty high-end apartment for $700/month for 3BR/2BA 1600 sqft for about 3 years. In the best location in the entire apartment complex too: in the middle of the pool (great when you're in college), cookout patio, rec room, tennis courts, and workout facility.

We're not in the ideal place to switch right now, but like I said, it's on the agenda. We have other financial concerns first, like my wife's car. And yeah, cost of living in Cali is absurd. Pay scales are usually kind of appropriate to that when they're above minimum wage, though.
And frankly, this is the first, in a while of living here, that we've run across something so absurd. Normally this place is completely ideal given the price.

Yeah, cost of living comparisons can be strange.
And hopefully they will get evicted. Or told to stuff it.
I can't believe they actually told us about it. Validating that kind of shit just makes it happen more often, and frankly, there'd probably be grounds for a lawsuit if we got in any trouble with the complex over midday noise.
@ jacosajh: Good god $700 for 1600 square feet haha! Kudos! @ JingleHell: I hear ya man, wish I could do more than say "stupid people are stupid." That neighbor a new tenant? I hated tenants like that and was just itching to get out of those places but had to finish school first to get career going, then wait even long to catch up on bills, THEN move out! Uphill battle as I'm sure you know, but fight on!
EDIT: yeah midday noise complaints aren't things that any apartment manager should ever seriosuly entertain
Well, I wouldn't worry about that kind of stuff. If the police show up, just entertain it. I guarantee you the police don't want to be there either. If you are rude to them, they will take their frustration out on you. Again, from my experiences and seeing this happen to other people, most cops will actually sit and joke around with you about how stupid these people are.
About three years ago, I was living with 2 other roomates, and we all had a girlfriend and our own set of friends. Needless to say, our front door was like the revolving door of a downtown NYC building. Different people in and out all day. Someone in our apartment complex wrote us an extremely rude note basically saying we were living in a "commune" and doing 'weird sex stuff" and that we had no business moving in here. It even had a racist tone to it because myself and one of the roommates are not white. I was pissed and was about to flip the apartment complex over trying to find this coward mofo. My other roommate calmly wrote another note and put it on top of that one, apologizing and saying we will try to be better neighbors, yada yada yada. I was like "WTF?"
Since that time, all of our neighbors thought the world of us, baked us cookies, whathaveyou. They all even got together and helped us narrow down who wrote the note. Needless to say, that person isn't there anymore.
I saved that note for 3 years and kept it on the fridge as a reminder to myself (I'm not sure how effective it was lol) until I just bought a house. I kind of wish I still had it now though.

Yeah, not sure which neighbor, below or beside, but both are new-ish. Newer than us, certainly.
I've made what should have been valid noise complaints before, loud noise at 2 AM on a week night, and had cops say it's not bad enough to do anything. Way I see it, middle of the day, it's probably not worth complaining unless it sounds like the police should be involved.
Holy shit just reading it makes me want to fucking rrraagggggeee! Damn that's fucking annoying. I mean...holy fucking shit batman a man has to do his fucking laundry! Care to buy him a shiny new washer if it's so bad?
Dude I got even a better one. I have a friend from highscool that is now going on a academy for piano and bisernica( don't know the English term) He isn't from around so he has his own apartment.Basically some dick called the police on him at 2pm in the afternoon for him playing the piano(and hes fucking good it's not like he's a little kid smashing the keys). I have no idea how brain dead you have to be to do something like that but apparently there are people like that out there.

Retarded thing is, if I'm watching a stream, listening to music, or gaming at a decent volume, at least as loud as the washer can be (lol, since that's fucking hard), nobody bitches.
I know some people that work night shifts and than come home dead tired and have to sleep but common,get yourself ear plugs or something if that's the case,the whole world can't accommodate to your sleep schedule.

If you come home dead tired, you should be able to sleep through anything and everything. In the Army, one time I slept through a fire alarm in the barracks. Well, mostly. I woke up at first, slammed into a few walls, unplugged everything from my alarm clock, to my shaver, to the fridge, figured out where the noise was coming from, and went back to bed.
I feel for ya man. I have a neighbor above me in my apartment complex that has 3 kids and all you constantly hear is loud banging on their floor/our roof. Sometimes the banging is soo loud it shakes the light fixture that is hanging. Ive never made a complaint regarding their constant banging, even though it can drown out the T.V among other things. 1 time I bought a new subwoofer for my computer and was testing it out (sub only on half way) in the middle of the afternoon, and within 5minutes that upstairs neighbor came down banging on my door demanding I shut it off because she was trying to read a book. I felt like freaking out on her and calling the landlord etc etc, but then just realized it would probably get me nowhere.
I live on the top floor of my apartment. So far I'm lucky: no noise complaints and no super noisy neighbors.
When I was stationed in Korea (Air Force): my pissmate (we shared a connecting bathroom). Every night I heard that guy "beating it up" for literally a minute each time. It was like clockwork... the same time at every night he had the same girl over. I paid him back one day... when my ex GF came over haha. He was jealous when he saw her...

Ah yes, the joys of adjoining bathrooms in the bricks. I remember this one time, I had met this chick, and we locked the other room out of the shower literally the entire time between PT and 0900 formation one morning. She was a total barracks whore, though. That was back at Hood, the Army's armpit. Or possibly taint.
For these types of people I come to no other conclusion other than they must have been dropped on their head 10x too many as a baby and just have lost a significant portion of the knowledge that should be common sense.

Ah, so the majority of people in traffic also make 1PM noise complaints?
Meh, they probably would if there was supposed they could actually hold an individual responsible for it.
Speaking of traffic....
On the way to work today I was stuck on a red at a left turn signal in an intersection for about 10 minutes as a train was passing by where I was going to turn in to. The guard was lowered, the train warning lights were on, etc. I'm unable to go because: 1) my left turn would not turn green as it knew that I wouldn't be able to move forward after crossing the intersection. My light literally stayed red 100% of the time and all other traffic lights in the intersection followed their pattern over and over and over again. 2) even if my light DID turn green for whatever magical reason, I would have been stuck in the intersection if I tried to turn as there was already a pile of 3-4 cars sitting around the corner clusterfucked already.
So I waited. I waited about 10 minutes for the train to pass and the cars around the corner to clear so that I could actually pass through. 5 minutes in, someone in the lineup of dumb fucks behinds me decides that blaring his horn is going to make the train move faster and light turn green. Whether the other dumb fucks behind me are think either honking at me or honking at him is going to change anything, they start honking as well.
The next 5 minutes people proceed to keep honking at me until I can actually go. I was waiting for some idiot to get out of his car and come up to my window to yell at me so I can tell him how much of a stupid cunt he is and point him to the train and light.

It's astounding, really.
That reminds me of a fun one recently, where cops decided to direct traffic during a nasty thunderstorm at an intersection, and stood there, holding back two huge, long lines of backed up traffic, literally trying to wave through cars that weren't coming from another direction at a freeway overpass.
Wow OP, this thread is perfectly relevant to my current life. We got a dog recently, he's honestly one of the most quiet dogs I've ever seen in my life. The only time he barks is when someone walks up the stairs to their apartment. And someone complained to management and told them he barks "ALL DAY" which just about made me snap because it's an outright lie, and I went to management and told them off for putting some threatening legal notice about how they can remove the dog if he becomes a "nuisance." I seriously hate these passive aggressive douche-bags and I'm half tempted to pound on every single one of my neighbors doors to ask them who complained about this dog and tell them off.

Pounding on doors will get you nowhere, and might cause legal troubles. Gives room for people to call the cops and say you're being intimidating or whatever. Just wait for casual opportunities to snark.
Well, after reading this... I should be thankful my neighbours never called on me when I run laundry on weekends near midnight. I personally have no problem with my neighbours either and I'm a rather heavy sleeper so even if they did stupid shit at night I wouldn't hear it.
