am i an asshole? dorm etiquette....

so i was in bed, relaxed, just on the brink of sleep. and all of a sudden i'm jolted back into full consciousness by people going at it like rabbits in the room above me. now unless someone is outside my door, the walls aren't unreasonably thin or anything. but moaning, rickety old bed springs and all were VERY loud and continuous.

at one thirty in the morning.


mind you its a sunday night, and so-called "quiet hours" begin at ten.

i'm sorry, but i gotta get up in the morning at some point and i was so close to sleep...i tapped something (not too loudly, but enough i am sure i was heard) on my ceiling like two or three times and the noise stopped shortly after.

now i dont care what they're doing, i dont care who is or isnt up there, and them having sex is none of my fucking business. but them being so loud about it so late at night that i can't sleep IS.

i figured tapping a few times would be more polite and less embarassing than me going upstairs to knock on the door and asking them to fuck more quietly.


was this a dick move? i dont feel like it. i think they were being really inconsiderate. but i could understand them being a little irritated. still though, theres fairly good soundproofing....i've never before heard voices through anything but my door. huh.

 

nah, that would piss me off. I would throw shit at my ceiling.

 

Its just part of living in dorms... A couple of months more and you'll be able to sleep through anything.

 

you definately should have knocked down their door and taught them a lesson.

 

..

 

I would have probably gotten over it and gone to sleep. But, you have the right to be pissy about it...

 

But yeah, etiquette would be to let it go... Hopefully they'd return the favour someday.

 

i dont know man it was like this last night, too

 

nah, you did the right thing. on one hand, it's the end of the weekend and they want to make the most of it. on the other hand, it's the end of the weekend and you have class in the morning. they understand and so do you. no one's the asshole.

 

You're ok doing that.
Glad they were having fun, but sorry they kept you up.

 

now i can't sleep though

might as well read for class

 

You could jerk off really loudly...

 

the broom stick thing is cool.

i think the most legit thing you can do is talk to them about it and tell them hey you're being loud as fuck please be more considerate.

edit: nevermind anything after that i suck at reading

 

HUGE dick move.

you're in a dorm. buy some fricken earplugs.

 

it was quiter than a broomstick...a camping folding chair in its cloth bag, so it was much more dampened than a broomstick would be.

next time its so late at an inconvenient time, i will probably talk to them instead, but i figured going up and knocking on their door might be embarassing to them, getting interrupted and all. but if the problem carries on, i'll talk to them about it.

an RA would certainly be a last resort

 

uh... that is super lame.....

 

:smilielol5::smilielol5:I was thinking the same thing

At one of my old apartments there was a couple living on the other side of the wall my bed was against. They were constantly blasting shitty, loud music at 9 am on sundays, yelling, drunk all the time. So anytime they were fucking and I was trying to sleep (worked at 7), and I could hear it, Id bang on the wall. Idiots.

 

for some reason i didn't register the bed springs part of the post, hahaha.

yeah, i would personally stick to the broomstick (well sorta) all-together, and if it came down to it confronting them the next day alltogether or something.

This is why I can not live in an apartment...

One, i get pissed off too easily.
Two, i piss people off every day.

Apartments SUCK. Dorms suck too, but if you're going to college there's not much you can do about it.
