I live in an apartment building and I remember one late night when I heard someone in the hallway banging on one of the doors, angrily screaming for (who I assume was) his (possibly ex-)girlfriend to “OPEN THE FUCKING DOOR, CAROLINE” over and over and I wasn’t sure whether I should call the cops or just let him murder her and get it over with because then he would probably stop and never come back.

At first I read it as “the loud crying motorcycle,” thinking the writer was referring to a crotch rocket. (Is that still a term?)

The one thing missing in this scenario is a hairy Italian Bronx man blaring an ominous Mahler concerto from his record player by the window.

Took me a while, but I believe it’s loud crying/motorcycle. Meaning that the crying is loud and the motorcycle is also loud. Yes?

This reminds me of the time I thought my neighbors were having a drunken argument at midnight & went to call the non-emergency police line only to switch at the last moment to 911 when the male half of this fine heterosexual couple began shrieking “you fucking stabbed me! Are you serious? Are you fucking serious? You fucking stabbed me!” Good times.

I am torn, I may love some of the comments even more than the letter!
But I sure don’t miss apartment living, that’s for sure. Was also my only 911 call in my life, while living in an apartment building, drunk neighbor we buzzed in who couldn’t get in to his place across the hall…I don’t remember now why we thought he’d break in to our place, but we were going to blind him with Windex if he did break in. Cops got there first, though..

Reminds me of the time I lived in a very small apartment building atop a bar. It was definitely shady and I had neighbors, a couple, who were very passionate about their relationship (for better or for worse). The woman once stripped in the hallway as the man, apparently in a drugged daze, told me my apartment “did not exist” anymore. My favorite memory of them was when they had a blow out fight at 4 am that ended in her running down the hallway as he followed, shouting sadly, “Why do you always make me chase you? Why?”
Team note writer. But good for Kayla on finding true love.

Memories, misty water-colored memories…
In grad school I lived in a small, quiet apartment building on a residential street that had only one other apartment building on it, right across the street. Everything was kosher and QUIET until this one couple moved in. Coming to my house one day, a friend commented that she saw them outside and knew them, the man worked for her cousin’s restaurant, and that was him (nearly 30) and his 19-year-old girlfriend. I commented that they were prone to getting in loud fights in the yard at insane hours and she just rolled her eyes and said “well, you just have to wait for them to get evicted.”
Due to their propensity for these kinds of fights, many of our respectable neighbors called the police on them. During one of these lights-and-sirens responses, they apparently spied me peeking out of my blinds to see what in tarnation was going on. That made me a marked woman. The very next night I woke up to loud thumping against the side of my house and peeked out the blinds to see them throwing pinecones at my window at 3 AM. That time, I did call the police (I had not been the caller on any previous occasions). I suffered about a month of them blocking my driveway, blasting music, throwing (even more) pinecones, and otherwise being dicks to me because they thought I was the one who called the police on them that one time (out of many). Fortunately, as my friend predicted, they were summarily evicted in short order.

Okay,
I’m confused about this note. Can someone explain what’s going on here?
My impression is that there’s been a lot of drama because Kayla is dumping her current boyfriend for Josh. Is that accurate?
WTF?
Any help is appreciated.

Back in the day, when I had my first roomie, he and his girlfriend had one of those psychopassionate relationships. One time they were arguing in the bathroom, and he left. She, obviously NOT finished arguing, came out of the bathroom nekkid and dripping and proceeded to continue the argument as if I was not there.
On another occasion, they were arguing before he had to leave for work. She, again nekkid, apparently not willing to let the argument drop, wrapped herself in a towel and followed him down the street for a block, all the time yelling after him.
Nighttime was much more peaceful and only occasionally interrupted by loud (-ish) sex.

The neighbors who saw her in a towel should have written a PA note

I have a landscape neighbor who like to mow his lawn at 7:30am any day of the week, sometimes on Saturday. He doesn’t mind doing it when there it’s drizzling or light rain either.
