I’ll try to be as vague about this as possible, to protect the innocent …
… but have any of you lived in an apartment with noisy neighbours?
Some years ago we had a first-floor apartment. The couple above us liked to recreate. A lot. They also had a squeaky bed, which meant their moans and groans were accompanied by rhythmic mattresses.
My wife came up with a great solution. She would go into our bedroom and call out loudly, “MIKE, THERE’S THAT NOISE AGAIN!” It was funny to hear the squeaking come to an abrupt stop.
Even funnier was the couple across the hall from us. They didn’t recreate as regularly as the couple above us, but they were much more vocal about it. I remember one afternoon when we were entertaining some guests for an early dinner. The moaning and yelling began, and we sat on the couch sipping Chardonnay and listening to the vivid descriptions of what this woman wanted to have done to herself.
The best sex story, though, was back in university. I recall walking across the courtyard at Champlain College (at Trent University), and hearing the sounds of passion coming from an open dorm window. We stopped for a moment to listen to the particularly vivid dialogue, and by the end of the show there was quite a crowd gathered. As the show came to its climax, we broke out in a loud chorus of applause. When the couple realized what had happened, there was a collective “HOLY SHIT” that came from their open window, followed by hysterical laughter from the audience.

Shortly after I graduated from college, I moved into my very first apartment with no roommates. It was, in my mind, a way to get a little peace and quiet. But, things don’t always go as planned, and wouldn’t you know it, I had one mackdaddy as a neighbor. He lived upstairs, and I swear must have had a new girl there EVERY SINGLE NIGHT. But besides that, the guy had stamina. It was quite impressive if you truly thought about it … he could go for hours. Sometimes I wondered if his bed would plunge through my ceiling! In all my years in apartment life, that was the only sextacular experience, thank goodness. It was interesting, to say the least!!

I’ve had recreating neighbors downstairs. I’ve also had angry fighters. And now I have a really bratty toddler and his indulgent parents.

My first thought would be “that could be quite a turn on…” but when it happens more or less every day I suppose it gets more annoying than sexy.
As for the couple getting caught.. that sounded kinda cool. I’m not sure I’d mind someone hearing me have sex.. haven’t had any complaints from my roommates yet
Last week on the balcony was probably the closest I’ve ever come to being noticed by anyone but roommates.

When I read the first line, I was thinking - annoying, noisy neighbours is better than annoying flatmate(s) (which I had a few years ago). However, after reading the post - hahahahahaha!

Why is it that I feel somewhat embarrassed that not only have I had neighbors like these, but I can name at least one instance where I was the noisy neighbor/roommate? Hm…
Fortunately, I can say with some certainty that I was not the young lady in the college story.
