What kind of freak starts a load of laundry at 1am? On a weeknight. When they have the noisiest washing machine in the known universe (sounds like a 747 taking off) located in a room right below my bedroom window.
Really. Any clues?
I'd just like to know what I'm going to have to face when I pitch up at their door in my dressing gown having gone utterly bat-shit postal from lack of sleep.
You poor creature.
Try the Jack Nicholson approach, axe through the door. That'll teach them to run on Economy 7
Would you like to borrow my Senior Hoover bought second hand in 1972 for £10.00. The brushes are a bit worn and the metal bars thump the floor. Should be good for a quick going over at 3 a.m. and every 10 minutes thereafter while you see imaginary bits of fluff on the carpet that it missed earlier.
It could well be an unthinking shift worker.
Me, I'm used to sleeping through the day when my washing machine is working.
A, economy 7! I remember those days.. putting a timer on the washing machine to use cheap electricty!! But then, I was living in a house with no one below to annoy (and no one to the left, and the noisest neighbour ever to my right!)
perhaps it really was a 747 taking off...in their laundry?
or maybe they were tryin to cover for 'other' noises ;)
tho i must say i do like the Jack Nicholson approach as suggested above :) mehehehe
hi, i found your site via photographytips.com

We have an upstairs neighbour who for a period of about 3 months, used to make an incredible racket at 4am. It was weird, you could almost set your watch by it. Imagine if you will, how it sound if you threw a cubic metre of solid concrete from one side of the room to the other in the middle of the night: thats what it seemed like. He denied it when i finally challenged him about it. Later another neighbour told me he was throwing telephone directories at mice... little imaginary talking mice probably..
On the what to expect its hard to say, since i challenged said neighbour over another matter and had a proper shouting match with him, he now thinks i am his best mate... eeek.
Which is quite different to a friends experience. When he knocked on his nutty neighbours door, final straw broken ready for a show down, the guy came to the door semi naked with baked beans all over his face.. my friend said nothing and moved house.
Only just read this one... I know exactly how you feel. We moved into this flat 18 months ago and had noone in the flat upstairs for about 10 months of that while the owners tried to sell. A few months ago new people moved in upstairs. They have a tumble drier in the room above our bedroom and have had it on at ridiculous times of the morning and proceed to play music when they get up early in the morning. Have also had people ringing our doorbell at 4am when they wanted upstairs. We've asked them to be a little more considerate, to little avail. I'm just happy that we're moving out soon!
