"However, when very sleep deprived I came back from work at 10pm to a note: A smiley face with its tongue poking out on my door. "At 5am the next morning, to around 12pm, they started hammering on their walls above the bedroom, jumping on the floor and slamming doors."Īt first he tried to convince himself they were doing something important and there must be a good reason for the noise.īut when he got back home from work one night he was in for a shock. The next day, they left a note on my door saying that they were sorry and everything was fine. ![]() In the post, the man, who remained anonymous, wrote: "Four days ago I had kindly asked the upstairs neighbours if everything was ok after I had heard continuous stomping and banging late at night, two nights in a row (from around 10:00 - 11:30pm).
