Neighbors

Thursday, October 21st 2010

Last weekend we had a few friends over to watch a football game. We weren't very loud and everyone was gone by 10:30ish, so it wasn't like we were throwing an all night party or anything.

But, unfortunately, our neighbor came over Monday to let us know we might be getting a call from the property manager. He said, "I think there is something wrong with the insulation but only in this one spot. I can't hear anything throughout the whole unit, except this one place where the noise travels through the walls in particularly. They might send out an engineer or someone to see what the problem is."

Is that a polite way of saying- Don't have any friends over because you are too loud and disrupt us at 7-10pm on a Saturday? Hmmm. I'm not sure. We haven't received a call yet, but we'll see what happens.

So, this morning on my way out, our neighbor was leaving at the same time. Should I hurry and close the elevator door before he sees me? No. I held the elevator open for him and I waited an extra 30 seconds for him to hop on. He was carrying a bouquet of balloons which I complimented him on too.

I hope they realize that we are nice people and we rarely have parties ever! And they've all be during the day or ended before 10:30 at night to be sure we weren't breaking any quiet hours rules (even though there aren't any that I'm aware of).

Hopefully it all works out. They are our neighbors and it would be much better if we could have a good relationship with them.

Peace :)
