When my roommate moved out a month and a half ago, I took his room because it’s bigger. For the past three years I was stuck in small rooms including sharing a small room in the board & care for more than a year. I’ve been in this room for almost three weeks and every day I jiust look around it and appreciate it. But then sh*t-for-brains, crazy, 300 lb bully started in again with his sick games and now arbitrarily does his sick control games.
I was thinking of my dad. He told me a story about how a guy came to fix his air conditioner and the guy was very disrespectful and acting like an ass so my dad picked up a 2 X 4 and was walking over to brain the guy but my step-mom saw what he was doing and stopped him. I have no doubt that if my step-mom hadn’t intervened my dad would have hit the guy. My dad was only 5’9" and he was 60 at the time but you didn’t want to mess with him.
So that’s what I’m thinking but I don’t want to go to jail. I’ve spent one day in jail my whole life, I think at age 57 I would not want to be in jail for an assault. But I’m thinking about it. I finally got some space which I’ve been craving for three years and now the psycho twins upstairs are ruining it for me.
Hoo boy. Whenever you get upset with roomies/neighbours, it means you’re going downhill. Is there a crisis line you can call before you take any direct physical action?
No, I meant the neighbors upstairs. Everybody do me a favor and don’t tell me that you can’t bug someone through a ceiling. It’s been at least three times already that I was up at 2:00 or 3:00 am and discovered the guy had been playing me like a damn puppet. I ran into this in the board & care. My first week there I told my roommate how nice everyone is there. He told me to wait a couple of weeks and then they would start up. He told me since no one there is obligated to have a daytime activity that they sit around all day smoking and thinking up ways to get over on people.
My wife lives in an apartment in another town where her job is right now (I’ll be moving there next year once we sell some property). Her upstairs neighbor is a mentally ill woman who is either shouting or crying loudly at night. Landlord says they can’t do much because she’s mentally ill. Currently trying to find my wife a different place where she’ll get some sleep.
I know what you mean but I’m not driving myself crazy with this situation like I have in the past. I nearly had a relapse dealing with my last roommate so I’m stopping myself from going that far. I’m not putting myself in the hospital.
Maybe consider requesting an upstairs apartment if one becomes available. If you’re sensitive to noise, it may be better to not have someone living above you.
Man, I agree with @shutterbug. You have been getting steadily more and more aggressive and fantasizing about violence. Major warning signs. Please talk to your doctor about this.
My unit is on the floor above the ground level. I noticed “first floor” means different things in UK vs American English. No one is above me. I like being on the top floor. I don’t make any noise though.
Sorry you’re dealing with this @77nick77. It sounds like your neighbors are a bunch of a-holes. I have never really had to deal with that much. Worst one was where i used to live the people next door were party central and had people in their yard drinking and smoking weed every day. They would occasionally be loud but i would just ask them to take it down a notch and they would. Hope you get some relief from this soon. Take care of yourself, man. You’ve been doing well for quite some time.
