A man has opened up about his difficult neighbours who text him with "ridiculous" noise complaints - even if he makes a sound in the day.
He has lived in his apartment for over 10 years and has never had an issue like this with any previous neighbour so has been surprised by the reaction from his newest cohort.
They text him each week with requests which include getting him not to do washing in the evening or not letting his dog play with toys.
In the Reddit post, he shares how it is getting "ridiculous" and feels they will keep telling him to do things at different times.
The man, who remained anonymous, wrote: "I got a message in the afternoon asking me to stop the dog from bouncing/playing with some of her rubber balls. Granted they were fairly weighted, so I removed them. A few days later, the same thing happened regarding tennis balls (this was during the day).
"A week later I got another message about 'thumping and running about' as a friend had come over for the first time with her new dog and so our dogs were running around a bit. She left around 8pm, which I don't think is very late."
He adds that there was a lull while he was away but now the requests are getting more difficult.
"Last month, the dog woke me up as she barked because she heard something outside, of course the neighbours texted me asking me to stop her from barking," he explained.
"So I kept her in my room to discourage her from doing it which worked. Last week I got a message asking me not to turn the washing machine after 11pm. Fair enough. This week I got a message from the guy this time asking me not to do washing at 10pm. Ironically enough, they also have a dog which has started barking a lot at night and I've said nothing about it.
"Tonight I got a message from him asking me not to do washing at 9.30pm.
"I feel like this is getting a bit ridiculous now."
In response, many sided with him and said he should not pander to their every whim.
One person wrote: "They seem very noise sensitive. But that's essentially their problem. They are entitled to quiet hours but apart from that, just ignore the texts."
While another stated: "You've been accommodating which is what a reasonable person would do. They are starting to push the boundaries of what a reasonable person would ask of you."
A third penned: "You have accommodated them every time they have come to you."
