Neighbor

Alright yall this is like 2 years in the making. My downstairs neighbor is a guy maybe in his late 50-60s he started off super nice to me, invited me out fishing(i never went), got me some soup when i was sick, we’d say hello etc

I think the first time i heard him bang on his ceiling/my floor is when i was having really loud sex with my bf and that was obviously humiliating but it was what it was(i didnt realize my windows were also open)

He started banging for everything soon enough. So much so that id be like hes got to be hanging a frame cause wtf is he banging about?

Ive honestly been on my couch doing nothing and he’ll bang, and ive had 3 separate friends over and theyll be like wtf is he banging about?

A year ago he knocked on my door and asked “how much longer is all this banging gonna be going on?” I told him how i hear him bang on the ceiling and have no idea what hes hearing. He walked away from me so we didnt have a proper conversation about it

Its got to the point where i dont even look at him to say hello, and its scared me into wondering if he’s schizophrenic or something cause wtf?

Well a few weeks ago my landlord finally got involved and asked me if i was moving furniture at 4am. Of course I said no and finally told them about everything thats been happening.

Well its 230am and i just got up out of bed to use the bathroom, then I walked to the living room to grab my phone charger, and before I could get back in bed he was banging on the ceiling...!!!!!!

I wrote this note on my phone cause im so

annoyed. Should i leave it taped to his wall tomorrow? Is it too harsh? Or should i go to my landlord and let them know that he banged while I simply got up for no more than 2 minutes? I want to tell him to politely fuck off but i dont want him coming to my door as i live alone and i wonder if he may snap on me.

Im honestly petite 120 pounds. How would

he act if a giant guy lived above him? Hes lived in the building longer than anyone else. It is old, and i know that im simply not a bad neighbor. I dont do anything crazy, i sit my ass on my couch 95% of the time.

My note:

Dear neighbor

It is absolutely ridiculous that i cant get out of bed in the middle of the night to use the bathroom or grab something without you immediately knocking on the ceiling.

A few weeks ago you banged on the ceiling at 4am while i was laying in bed. Apparently every downstairs apartment heard “moving furniture” that night. Now how is it possible that three apartments with 3 different upstairs apartments all heard the same thing? When you complained to me a year ago i told you i had no idea what you were hearing. It is obviously a building issue as it it physically impossible for all three downstairs apartments to hear the same “moving furniture” when they all have different neighbors above them.

There have been MANY, MANY times were i am sitting on my couch and you are banging on the ceiling and I wonder what on earth you are banging about. I have had you bang while im standing in place brushing my teeth.

I am NOT a bad neighbor. I do not have wild parties and blast music all day, I am not a giant man stomping around the apartment. I am sorry for whatever noises you may hear, we live in an OLD building, but i have every right to get up in the middle of the night for two minutes without you immediately complaining.
