Stupid Neighbors


I stayed in bed for almost 24 hours yesterday to today except for bathroom and drink breaks. I also got up for a 2 hour email, twitter, and news check.

I fell so much better but I am still planning on living in bed today. I remembered why I was having so much trouble sleeping.

The downstairs neighbors have evidently installed a ceiling fan in the bedroom under mine. But the ceiling fan sounds like a dryer or an out of balance washing machine just starting to spin.

The nose is very irritating and is not cyclic – it does not repeat itself. It is different every revolution. I can not get use to it and filter it out.

If I have gone to sleep with it off, as soon as they turn it on it wakes me up.

If it is on, I cannot get to sleep, I try sleep on the couch but I am too use to my mattress.

I tried a fan to drown it out. I attempted playing a radio with different genres of music with no luck.

I put in ear plugs but the noisy intruder is anchored (maybe not correctly) right under my bed and the noise and vibration comes right through my bedding.

I cannot understand why the idiots do not hear it but they are of the mindset that just having a ceiling fan is a luxury never mind it makes lots of noise. They are clueless.

Or else they are doing it on purpose.

Whatever the circumstance, I complained to the landlord and while I have not got a response, he sometimes acts and waits for a few days to make sure the problem is solved before following up.

For the last 24 hours I have not heard the fan. Hopefully it is because they were told to shut it off or maybe it broke.

As long as I can get some sleep I do not care why.

Evidently that noisy fan was causing a much bigger problem the I thought.

Many times I just put up with stuff – this time I am glad I have opened my mouth.
