Someone sounds a little bitter they didn’t get morning sex.

Given the subject matter, isn’t the “XOXO”, heart drawing, valentine’s day reference, and “with love” just a little over the top? The neighbor is probably already satisfied from this morning. She doesn’t need any more loving. Give her a bit to recover.

not much incentive to keep it down if everyone already knows….

See, this isn’t a very convincing threat because I’m pretty sure I would feel more repulsed by the neighbour blabbing to all and sundry about someone else’s bedroom habits than I would the neighbour who did the groaning.

It would have been funnier, if it had said, “Love Mom”

I think I am missing something here. How “continue telling” supposed to be threat?
A threat would be if she started telling the neighbors. But they already know since she’s been blabbing to everyone. So clearly, the couple has to step up their game and have even noisier sex or just ignore her and continue as they were before.

I have a feeling the neighbors already know about the groaning in bed.

Would this person rather have late-night sex waking them up? I think the groaner and their partner should start groaning the note-writer’s name.

I guess a greater frequency of morning sex is in order.
Do tell the neighbors that I have a great sex life!

Go ahead & tell my neighbors I’m a groaner, I’ll wait.

I have the exact same crappy counter top! I wonder if I can guess which building this is in Calgary?

I read that as “groomer” and thought that maybe he was kind of like a monkey picking bugs out of his partner’s hair or something.

I don’t think the notewriter realizes that this note is basically giving the two lovers the go-ahead to have sex on her welcome mat at 5 am. That’s what I would do, at least.

I read “groomer” as well and figured she could hear the sound of buzzing (not bees) from an electric shaver. Loud sex and some man-scaping – I’m in!
Hell, I think I would even enjoy just listening – ha!

I can get a bit loud, myself. If it’s not quiet hours in the apartment complex, I’ll be as loud as I like, tyvm. I’d rather hear a happy couple having sex than a Domestic Abuse Duo having a knock-down drag-out police-action fight at 3am.

Wonder what’s worse – hearing loud sex next door, below you, or above you?

I know it’s horrid but my boyfriend and I have decided we’re doing well if we get either a standing ovation from his neighbors or a note on his front door. Nothing yet though…

Wow I really must have lucked out finding a building as sex crazed as mine! Once one apartment starts up it’s not long before others do too! On a summer day with the windows open you can hear it all thru the alley

I wouldn’t care if anyone heard me, and seeing this ‘threat’ would just make me want to keep it up, and moan LOUDER.
JUST to be obnoxious.
That’ll learn ‘em.

I would be so mortified that someone heard me I wouldn’t be able to do it at all except on a futon and muffled, LOL. Before I had a single unit home I would pay attention to the comings and goings of my neighbors and only voice my pleasure when I was sure I had privacy. I always felt very embarassed when overhearing others too.

They woke you up? One of them is a groaner? You don’t say. Could you be more specific? What words did she use? How long did it last…

I think the outrage is more directed at the fact that the stated morning activities did not include inviting her in. I haz durty mind.

Dear Neighbor,
Don’t bother, it was an orgy and you weren’t invited.
Groaningly,
The whole complex

1. Did anyone else point out that she says “continue to let all your neighbors know…” Like, she has been telling people for weeks already.
2. My neighbor is a about 300lb person who likes to have a lot of sex with her boyfriend. All the time this was happening, day and night. I let this go on for awhile, but a person can only live in this fashion for so long. I had to call the landlord, who laughed and took care of it for me.

oh god, gotta love the “then move” or “use earplugs” statements. I have really loud neighbors and hear these two a lot. I’m pretty laid back, but the neighbors are REALLY LOUD. They usually start at 11 pm on weeknights, and go to 4 am.
1. I can’t quit my job, lose my deposit on my apartment, walk out on a lease and move b/c my neighbors are asses sometimes. Thanks for the reasonable response to my wanting common courtesy.
2. Earplugs aren’t magic. I actually wear them, and they don’t block out all noise ever. What they can block out? Your alarm clock, waking you up for work.
Is it too much to expect for people to not be assholes? ‘Cause if it’s okay to be an ass, there aren’t many safe places to move to.

Just like she’s allowed to have morning sex, I’m allowed to have quiet. Not hating, just allowed what I’m allowed.
