When our saga begins, our anonymous submitter’s girlfriend was living in a tiny apartment in Sydney, Australia. Due to space constraints, she was temporarily sleeping on what our submitter admits was “possibly one of the world’s shittiest sofabeds.”
But while the mailbox notes were presumably written first (based on the tone) they weren’t actually discovered until after a third note was slipped under the apartment door…
Mortified, our loving couple did, in fact, move their mattress to the floor. But that didn’t seem to placate their dear nameless neighb, who pinned this note to the the building’s common noticeboard…
“Ironically,” our submitter says, “it was found when we were moving out the horrible couch.”

Holy Mother of God.
This absolutely reeks of crazy. Small consolation: at least it looks like the pen is running out by the last note so maybe there won’t be any more.
I can’t believe these asswads put the last note on the PUBLIC BOARD! Surely there has to be some way to take them to court for this?
Also, I used to think the official language of Australia was ENGLISH. Now I really have no idea what it is!
Thanks, Terry! That Ecstasy was glarble fitxmrl whee!

Kudos to the Aussie educational system, if this is a product o Australian education, the whole of the public school system needs to be dragged into the street and shot.

Oh, I love these notes. I want to clutch them to my face and shed a tear of gratitude.
So many angles to think of! Let’s see…
First, me thinkee writer from other part of Pacific Rim– Thailand maybe?
Second, Australian parlance– so jokey and friendly, even when deadly. It sounds as if they’re all having a pint while saying, well, anything at all! It’s fantastic.
Third, ThaiAussie sounds like a complete nutjob. I’m enjoying all the drug recommendations and condemnations mentioned in these notes- viagra, ecstacy. Perhaps some thorazine should be employed as well; for the notewriter, that is.

This one time in band camp i had a room mate with a good sex life and a vocal partner, then one night while i am listening to the moany part of my life’s soundtrack crash! pitter patter pitter patter. There is my room mate with in a towel asking me if i can help him fix his bed. Upstairs i go and see that he had kicked the toe board off his water bed. Trying to ignore the toweled nekid lady patiently waiting for us he pushed the bladder up so i could screw on the toe board again. Then i went back downstairs and continued to enjoy the moany soundtrack of my life.

i feel bad for the poor couple who now have been publicaly humiliated by this asshat.
being the way that i am, i would continue having loud, noisy, raunchy, ecstacy sex, but add in disturbing sound effects (you can find them online!)…like, shattering glass, car horns, bleating goats, sizzling frying food, the popping of bubble wrap, the sound of duct tape ripping off the roll…oh wait, that last one could be fun.

So let’s see, the girl lives in a crappy apartment with junky furniture and stud muffin doesn’t have the presence of mind to invite her to his place or spring for a motel.
I guess everybody in this melee leaves a lot to be desired.
The note writes is clearly insane. I thought the education system in the States was bad but this series of notes reveals some pretty frightening shortcomings in Australia.
As for sex noises, there are some people who are much louder than they need to be. I think this is because they are overcompensating.

I think I’m on team ‘get it up and done with’ only b/c I used to live in a duplex and almost every night at 2am you could hear the neighbors moaning/shrieking and the bed springs squeaking and banging against the wall. It was annoying to be woken up to that. (It almost sounded fake)

What is wrong with shower sex when you KNOW that you have a crappy noisy sofa bed? Or do it in the kitchen or anywhere except in a room above or below where people are sleeping? I know it’s just easier to wake up and do it REALLY loud in bed, but make it interesting.
One set of neighbors next to us would fight one day and make up the next. They did both loud enough that the cops were called frequently by the neighbor who lived beneath them(I think). I was so happy to move out of there.

If somebody is making too much noise while their having sex just knock on their door and ask them if you can join in. If you really want to have an impact do it in the nude so they think you’re serious.

2. We don’t care when U have sex..
3. We don’t care how many times/day U have sex…
4. If you sleep often get disturb (not so glad) especially like last night between 1-3 am (do care when) caused by sex marathon 6 times/2 hrs (do care how many times/day).

You all are totally missing the poetry here. Clearly during the writing of notes 1 and 2, the author was struggling with how best to express certain key themes (the oldness of the bed; general disturbingness). S/he had resolved the first one by the end of the second note by seizing on perfection of the phrase “Old spring bed”, which would then be repeated twice in note 3 to great effect. If you squint, the third note even seems to be titled, “Your old spring bed.” As for the disturbingness, the author in a flash of inspiration abruptly switches from free verse to rap in note 3–”Get disturb with the noise”–and a catchphrase for the ages is born.
As for Note 4, it’s just plain crazy.

One of the hardest parts of learning a foreign language is learning how to choose the different levels of formality & that type of thing. I don’t think any ESLs think “you” is spelled “u”, but many probably have no idea when it’s appropriate to use which. Most certainly this person is from an East Asian background, & I vote “real, real, real, real, real”. And what’s this fake folds business? If you wanted to fake a note for PAN, what the hell would be easier than using real paper? The folds may not look real too you, but maybe they were read by a low-quality scanner. (Low-quality scanner … maybe I’ll use that nickname next time I write a limerick….)

It might even be from the same person. You just get used to reading it—I try not to focus on individual words, & the meaning eventually jumps out, like in a Magic Eye.

Boggy Woggy: the notes are scanned, that’s why they look flat – they’re not photographed in situ as half of them were *in the mailbox* and the others were found under the door and pinned to the communal noticeboard in the complex. Given that I was moving a Bastard Couch at the time, I was more interested in removing it from neighbourly view than attempting some kind of photographic masterpiece.
Neighb is, as far as we could tell, an ESL individual; there were also lots of exchange students in the place where this all took place, which is what made it a little difficult to pick which neighb was Neighb.

My now-wife and I were sitting down to a movie, when we heard this strange thumping noise. We muted the movie, revealing the telling squeaker squeaker from upstiars. As loud as I could, I moaned “oh yeah, OH YEAH!” Silence. Footsteps.
I’m sure what’s happening is that Neighb’s wife is bitching at him for not doing her or anything about the noise. He’s just pissed because it’s getting him in trouble.

I didn’t get a chance to check on Friday! I missed out big time with this one, but my brain hurts from trying to read it.
If you have to live in an apartment, you have to expect these kinds of things to happen. These notes are so terrible I might have entertained the idea of ignoring them completely.
Neighb definitely needs to get some.

My boyfriend has the most horribly old spring-y bed too. I’m not worried about anyone hearing the noise though… I’m worried about getting a damn spring in my back/knee/what-have-you.
Plus, the note-writer should be giving this couple kudos for their sex marathon. I always appreciate a good sex-marathon kudos.

Sue Do Nim, I dunno … when I write Chinese characters, even I can see that my handwriting’s spectacularly inconsistent. What’s your alternative theory, anyway? That really it’s someone with great handwriting & grammar, who wanted to complain about, shall we say, Sex in the Vicinity, but was so paranoid or embarrassed, that s/he decided to disguise the note’s origin by pretending to be ESL?
This is really a recurring theme, isn’t it? Why not go the whole hog? When you think about it, the universe it pretty amazing, isn’t it? Almost … too amazing?

BoggyWoggy is right.
Fake, fake, fake, fake, fake…
These were not faxed! Duh! Look at the fake turned corners! I have that background on Vista! Also, I’d be pretty amazed to see faxed red Sharpie.
Stop taking it so personally. It’s so sad to be duped.

Oh, and I’m an ESL teacher. No students I’ve ever had, nor families I’ve ever known, would write like this! Dur. It’s written by some dumb folks who text-message all the time. Probably didn’t even know how to write well to begin with. Also, the fact that the series simply repeats itself, with no new variations or information is a DEAD giveaway. If you’d like a copy of the frickin’ background fake paper, it’s easy to get.

BW, they may be faked but I wanted to point out they didn’t say they were “faxed” they said the notes were “scanned” so they easily could still have transmitted the red ink to this site.

Boggy: I’ve scanned an item or three, and those do look like artifacts from scanning. As for the handwriting, it looks consistent from post to post. We’ve had truly faked notes before where the “paper” was crumpled up, but the text was floating on top, all pristine.
I actually don’t care if it’s fake or real (at this point). I just like doing the CSI-style analysis.
Is posting a faked PA note a PA act in itself? If so, that’s so self-referential, like a show within a show.

speaking of CSI
i just noticed that the 6 in 6 times/2 hours looks like it was a 5.
i can see them sitting up during that 2 hrs of screeking, writing the note, and just as they ask for /our peace at all times, apt. 20 starts up again and they have to write a 6 over the 5.

I can assert with authority and surety that these aren’t fake, as I’ve seen the originals. I’ve also seen the notes’ recipients try to keep their hands off each other in public, so I’m certain their nocturnal activities would be joyously audible.
It’s amusing to read the “reasons” for believing they are fakes, though. Go, you pedantic detectives, you!

I love how convinced you are that it’s fake, Boggy. Don’t quite know where you’re getting the faxed bit from; these were all scanned on my office scanner (a Umax Astra 2400X) – you can see bits of it in the shots.
Andy’s spot on for the rest of it.
I’d like to be able to say that we didn’t have a psycho Neighb, but unfortunately it’s all true.
I doubt, however, that Neighb will show up here to vouch for their authenticity. Am planning, though, to print out this entry and stick it in their mailbox next time I’m in the area, so you never know.

You know, I was going provide the scanner info in my analysis, but didn’t want to sound like a smarty-pants.
Actually, if this WAS an episode of CSI, they could’ve gotten the model name, as well as DNA images from the scanner parts peeking out in the scans.
Hey, all the best to Neighb. Good luck with the shock treatments and all that.

I actually did write a note just like this in college. The girl above me was dating a football player and it was a division 1 school, so he was a big boy.
We had these horrible dorm room beds that were really like army cots.
So I wrote her a note and slipped it under her door after the third night, when the ceiling banging didn’t work.
I just told her to put the mattress on the floor to avoid the noise.
Anyway, found out later that it was someone I knew from high school and that she got pregnant.
I don’t feel bad about the note. If you’re doing the nasty, good for you! Just don’t make the rest of us listen to it!

Hasn’t anyone else had to deal with disgustingly loud neighbors? The neighbors that live below me have very loud sex every Tues, Friday, and sometimes Saturdays either in the afternoon or about 11pm. Then Sundays they do it at about 3am. It is so loud it sounds like they are trying to be loud because they saw it in a porno. I can’t have guests over sometimes (like my grandparents) because I know that if my neighbs start goin’ at it that my guests will be embarrassed and offended. I dread being woken up to that or trying to study for finals and hearing them scream and moan. It isn’t okay when you live in such close proximity to be so inconsiderate of your noise levels. That doesn’t change because the author of this note is illiterate! I finally got fed up at midterms last semester and when they were near the height of their frenzy I went downstairs and rang their bell. They were so shocked at the interruption that they didn’t even know what to say. I did- I told them that I could hear everything, as in everyTHING. They’ve been a lot quieter since.

I’m aussie, and I reckon the notes are genuine, and written by someone in their 20s as few of the “older generation” use grammar like yr, and cos. “dear” – well that’s what a female would say, isn’t it? I definitely agree that playing some interesting sound effects would be great!
