Sarah in London found this note — and the cheeky response — posted in the lobby of her former apartment building.
“Entry to the flats is by way of a concrete outside walkway,” she explains. “Unfortunately, if someone has noisy heels, the sound tends to reverberate throughout the building.”
Of course, the above complainer isn’t the only person who has a problem with stilettos…a.k.a. “fucking shoes”?

How glad I am to no longer live in an apartment….
23 Bramber residents are probably stone drunk when they come home, and have no comprehension whatsoever of how loud they’re being. Writing a polite note was a nice effort (though it would’ve been good to slip it under their door rather than post it for everyone to see), but clearly they have no grasp of the concept of taking off one’s shoes and shutting the door quietly. I suggest setting the hounds on them.

Ladies,
Please bring your escape goat with you if you’re planning a night out. You should ride across the balcony on your goats instead of walking in very noisy heels.
Sincerely,
Your neighbour

I believe that the appropriate response to the second note would be for the early-to-bed/early-to-rise people to stomp around quite loudly outside of the stiletto wearers’ apartment at around 6:30 am.

i empathize with the original note writer. it is possible to walk quietly, but some women have lead feet or something. I used to have upstairs neighbors that would stomp up and down the stairs and slam the front door all the time. Made the windows rattle. >:(

Who is the slacker that added numbers 9 and 37 to the bottom of the note? What kind of lazy PA person are they, thinking that they can just coast on someone else’s prewritten PAN instead of
compostingcomposing their own note? At least Complainer actually got off their butt and wrote something!Dec 9, 2009 at 8:44 pm rating: 90

I don’t see what’s PA about these “PANs”. The first one is legit. Don’t be a twat and make a ton of noise and slam your door when you come home late. The second one is just agressive, but if people don’t like it why the fuck are going to his house. In fact, the response note to the first note is really the passive aggressive one. I like how they put up a picture from the Devil Wears Prada. Maybe they’re trying to say they’re the devil.

You really have to be a heel to not know your stilettos are making a clogging sound.
Can’t they wear flats on their way to their flat?
Those people would surely be my arch enemies!

Hey, what’s with all the hostility toward note-writer #2? I for one would not tolerate the fucking of shoes or heels in any form in my house, that’s just disrespectful!
I love that smiley face at the bottom, by the way. If I could manage it I would read that paragraph above out loud with such a smile on my face too.

Note number 2 is quite an extreme response to the typical awkward question of “so … ah … do you want me to take my shoes off, or what?”
Methinks someone’s mummy didn’t pay them enough attention.

I love the apostrophe-happy ‘there’s an S at the end…so there must be an apostrophe somewhere’ flavour of both notes – stilleto’s and stilletos’?

CB, I got this one, but join in if you’re innarested…be done in a jif…
If such a tragedy were ever to occur, I only hope that the bus in question is the short yellow one that takes you to school and back.
Oh, maybe a couple more hopes, audacious ones even:
1) The collision is glancing and PG is able to trot away to get help for
2) You, who aren’t wearing your seat belt because you were yakking inanely at the driver while standing in front of the white line…which,
when the driver slams on her brakes, causes you to go right through
the windshield (or windscreen if you’re somewhere ‘over there’)
face first, resulting in a mega-pocked phiz that will eventually
heal up to more closely resemble your soul.
P.S. I ‘spect the only bus PG is likely to get smacked by is the kind with a double ‘s’.
P.P.S. Here’s a referral to the Principal’s office. On your way, cf. #18.9

When I was a child, my grandmother was fanatical about not wearing shoes in the house. We had to take them off outside and sometimes, leave them outside (which sucked, because we lived in an apartment complex). This was traumatic for me, as I had to deal with it on a daily basis. And if you were afraid of losing your shoes outside and wanted to take them in, well … you had to clean them off and stuff.
So as an adult, as long as it’s not super wet and muddy out I don’t care if you wear shoes in the house. There is a nice rug in the front and back (actually, they are huge, cheap rugs from Big Lots) for wiping feet. I always considered people that want you to take your shoes off ALL the time to be neurotic, petty, and to have something wrong with them.
Team wear your shoes indoors if the weather is dry.

I just love how, in the first note, stilettos is written stiletto’s, and when the reply note was written she had to have thought something like, “That moron doesn’t even know how to make a word plural!”, and wrote Stiletos’. Ah ha ha! Now can I please have a ticket to another, better, world?

Is it just me or does the second note look like it was written by a nine-year-old? The penmanship, the random bolding and coloring (and color-changing), the horrible spacing….
Aside from the fact that I hope nine-year-olds don’t call stilettos “fucking shoes,” I also hope this note wasn’t written by an adult because of the childish way it was written.

My favorite part about the first complaint is that they seemed to feel that comic sans would be the most effective font with which to convey their message.

Why do they come back at 2:44 AM in the first place? If people are going to come back so late they should take off the shoes and be quiet!
