Angry resident leaves note asking neighbour to stop using washing machine at 4am

A resident left a furious note for a neighbour begging them to stop using their washing machine at 4am. The letter was revealed by another man who lives in the block, who has found himself in the middle of a row between his neighbours and torn over whose side he's on, the Mirror r eports.

The conflicted resident took to Reddit to share a note from the raging neighbour who asked that whoever in their apartment complex was using their washing machine in the middle of the night to stop it as it's ''unacceptable'' behaviour.

He came across the pleading note which was pinned to the front door of the block of flats. The sender claimed they had been left sleep deprived due to the noise being created by the machine.

The individual who wrote the note said: "It's very unfair when people are working". Captioning the post as he discussed the row, the man said: "This was on the front door to our block of flats - can't decide whose side I am on. (I am neither the neighbour nor the note leaver)."

The note, which had clearly been written out of frustration, read: "Dear neighbours, 4AM is not an acceptable time to use a washing machine. I have been woken up several times with your washing machine.

"Please stop! Refrain from using the washing machine before 7AM.

"I have been woken up on too many occasions. This is very unfair when people are working."

Reddit users fled to the comments to back up the neighbour who was using the washing machine and suggested they may have their reasons for doing so. One person asked: "Do you have a day rate and a night rate for electricity?

The sender of the note stated that her neighbour's washing machine was keeping up her at night and it was an 'unacceptable' time to use it (Getty Images/iStockphoto)

"If her night rate starts at midnight like mine does, she's probably setting the washing machine to start then to save some money on the electric (like I do)." Another agreed: "Some energy companies charge less for out of hours usage, so might be a factor.

"Probably an easy fix by adjusting the washing machine feet so the damn thing doesn't rattle." A third wrote: "I was going to say this. I've seen a few companies recently encouraging people to use their machines at night."

Although it's not been confirmed whether the person commenting is the next-door neighbour in question, a different user wrote: "You might be my neighbour, I'm sorry. I just need fresh uniform for tomorrow morning.

"Your son wakes me up swearing at his TV so I think we're even. xox"
