My neighbor has VERY loud romantic encounters, and the walls are paper-thin. After weeks of enduring it, I slipped a note under their door that read, “Congrats on the cardio!” They left an apology note and said they’d “keep it down,” but the next night, it was louder than ever.
Frustrated, I knocked on their door, ready to confront them. When it opened, I came face-to-face with my landlord, who blurted, “This isn’t what it looks like!” Turns out, the “noisy neighbor” was living there illegally—and I’d just stumbled onto the reason they were always “too busy” to fix my leaky faucet.
