Does anyone have manners anymore?

Hey OP, I bet your neighbors don't complain when you're running your vacum....ummm, I mean blender at night

Nah, the snow cone maker isn't loud.

Come to think of it, before my ex moved out, my neighbors probably hated me, too. We'd have awful fights, screaming matches, swearing, he'd hit me and I'd hit the wall...anyway, we had a fight one night and I said something about what he'd done to me in the past (long story), not realizing that someone was standing right outside. I wasn't sorry for what I'd said to my ex, but the next morning, I caught up with that neighbor and I apologized for him having to hear it. He claimed he didn't really hear anything, but then he said, "Little argument, huh? Don't worry, I've done it, too."

I still feel bad when I think about that.

My neighbors woke me up Wed morning blaring their new thump thump system at 6:30am. What kind of music do you ask?? Why Michael Jackson of course. Who else wouldn't want to wake up to hearing Beat It first thing.

I also have a similar problem to apirateslifeforme as the wall we share is the bedroom/bath wall and they umm are active in the shower quite a bit. Well umm you know it's a long deployment and one night I also banged on the wall and yelled "quit dropping the d@mn soap and go to sleep" I guess paybacks are coming

I live in an apartment and my upstairs neighbor is a nightmare. I finally resorted to wearing earplugs so I can get some sleep.

I mind it less when people are noisy on the weekends, but it would be nice to have some consideration during the work week.

There are renters directly cross from our house. This morning at 4am one of the couples decide to have their domestic dispute outside. It was a cool night so we had our windows open. The girl was ripping the guy a new one and they were both content on sharing their problems with the rest of the neighborhood. So I closed the bedroom window and slept on the couch.
The other neighbor, loves to smoke on her deck and let her little dog yap all night. Forget manners, its common courtesy!
We just have rude neighbors too.

Let's add loan officers to the list.

Manners what are those. I live in the Napa Valley. We have people driving 80 down a 25 mph road, people passing you in a turn lane, people cutting you off just to save a minute, people flipping you off when it is your turn to go. They teach you nothing anymore. It is really bad and I think it is getting worse by the day. Even the CHP can't figure out how to fly their helicopter over our house at 2am.

We live in a townhouse. I never hear a peep out of the neighbors on the right. On the left is a different story. 4 guys in their early to mid 20's share the place along with various girlfriends. Our 2nd night here they had the patio door wide open and were blaring the music. The bass was so loud it rattled the pictures on the shared wall. At 12:15am Dh went over and knocked on the door. The music was so loud they couldn't hear him. So he went around back. We each have a fenced patio area. He opened the gate and knocked on the sliding glass door. Finally caught their attention. One guy threatened to beat him up for trespassing. Good lord, the guy is twice your age and is just asking you to turn the music down! Luckily one of the guys was sober enough to be the voice of reason and got the other to chill out. How can you not realize that the music is too loud? If it's rattling my wall it's rattling yours. Here I worry constantly about whether Petey is barking or if they can smell the fish I cooked for dinner. We all have to live together, why can't we just get along??

I used to live on the top floor of a condo. building. The people under me used to fight and slam their doors ALL the time.

They also had 3 young boys whose ages ranged between 3-10. The boys were always running and screaming!

BTW, the condo. was only a two bedroom. I don't know how they survived all squished in that condominium. I guess they didn't. They later got divorced.

This was after the 2 older boys set fire to the trash dumpster.

So, I guess many people don't have manners anymore. Like someone else posted, people only care about themselves anymore.
