Dealing with upstairs neighbor

DanGarion · 07-15-2006, 02:28 PM

I live in an apartment complex and I was wondering if anyone had some advice on how to handle a situation with my upstairs neighbor.

Basically we are pretty sure that our upstairs neighbors a jealous we bought a washing maching. And they seem to think we aren't allowed to have one in our apartment complex and we typically wouldn't give a damn but in the past week the following two things have happened:

a) the other day when we did a load that needed hot water they had just taken a shower and there was no hot water
b) whenever they flush their toilet we lose water pressue in our machine

Our kids were playing in a huge cardboard box recently, and we saw them glare at us in jealousy.

Now obviously I am not willing to put up with this. These are the two situations I see possible:

1) I could try to talk to our upstairs neighbor and explain that they can use our washer if it has no negative impact on us.
Pros: Handle the situation without having to get our neighbor in trouble with the apartment complex
Cons: Neighbor is a hothead, they bought the washer and will be angry if they can't use it

2) We could call the supervisor and tell them we have suddenly lost water pressure in our apartment and we have no idea why. Let the supervisor investigate and deal with the situation.
Pros: The stress of dealing with the situation is out of our hands
Cons: The complex wants to throw our neighbors out anyway and this could be 1 more strike against them. We would rather not have them thrown out of the complex. Also, the supervisor might never figure out that they are jealous of washing unit and the situation might not get resolved.

Call the supervisor. Why do you care if they get thrown out?

I'd stick a trout up their rectum.

What.. this isn't a poll?

You should rip his internet out so he can't post on FOFC.

Have you considered that the lack of water pressure and hot water might be due to the fact that you installed a washing machine and it's overburderning the water heater?

Schmidty · 07-15-2006, 03:57 PM

Seems like you might be more than a little paranoid about this Dan. I bet there's a good chance that they don't even know that their doing the things you mentioned.

And Desnudo's comment about the water heater makes sense too.

People actually glare jealously when they see a washing machine box?

molson · 07-15-2006, 03:59 PM

So they flushed their toilet, took a hot shower, and glared at you? The bastards!

Schmidty · 07-15-2006, 04:03 PM

Maybe you can make them an outhouse out of the box so that they can actually take a shit without pissing you off.

DanGarion · 07-15-2006, 04:04 PM

Hehe. I was bored.

It's one of those tricky cross-thread jokes.

DanGarion · 07-15-2006, 04:14 PM

I bumped the other one just to make sure it's not lost because of mine.

CraigSca · 07-15-2006, 04:25 PM

Oh. I didn't see the other thread. Nm.

I give him credit for making a parody thread that's actually funny and reasonable, unlike the other 437 of them.

Schmidty · 07-15-2006, 04:28 PM

Ah, I didn't even see the other thread.

JonInMiddleGA · 07-15-2006, 04:31 PM

The parody thread currently has more views than the original, so I suspect there'll be more than a few people confused by this one.

I know it's great isn't it? I got back from picking up lunch (I'm at work) and I saw his post, and then I started thinking how could I pretend I was his neighbor...

Franklinnoble · 07-15-2006, 07:10 PM

Yeah... I thought the other one was the parody thread.
