Update on the neighbour from hell downstairs.

Page may contain affiliate links. Please see terms for details.
my understanding, (from previous postings) is that she works nights and expects the world to be quiet during the day, IIRC.
It does seem to me like someone who is asking for help but is coming out all wrong. When things become completely unreasonable to the point of farcicle I think something else is at work. I would still take advice.

Ok ok ok sorry to be boring.

It does sound a little like this neighbour is having some behaviour issues. I'm not excusing and it would be horrid to put up with her complaints. She could be having a breakdown or is becoming depressed and this is manifesting itself in their actions abd is possibly a cry for help.

I would suggest you delicately approach this with the HA? I'm sure there's people here who work in the NHS who could advise better than me.

She should be moved but possibly offered help.
Possibly but Saluki should wait until after she's B*ggered off.:biggrin:
Some of us have followed this for a while.

Yeah, I'm sure there's plenty of stuff I've missed and sounds likes she's well shot of her...but she still may need help else this could be a cycle.

Pleased for you @Saluki, but I can not help but feel sorry for her. It sounds as though she has problems and life must be hell for her if she feels the need to complain about such trivia. She needs help.

We actually think that she is (trying to put this nicely) under educated. She is very black and white in everything. It's OK for her to make noise at 1am as she is getting ready for work but not ok for me to flush the loo while she is asleep at 5pm. It's been a long while since someone has said 'no' to her I think. She drove the previous tenant in our flat out with her mithering.

She's off to a 1 bed bungalow elsewhere in town. She does work stupid hours 2am to 2pm 5 days a week and 2 am to noon on Saturdays, all for minimum wage. She's a cleaner in a school but cleans dorms in the daytime. Saturday nights she get kaylied and comes home and sings loudly and slams the doors. We are used to it. It's only once a week until she passes out. She probably does need help. We wish that she'd dump her BF as he snores for England and stops us sleeping. She plays the radio at night so she can sleep as it drowns out his snoring. Happily he's only there on Saturday nights, sometimes a long weekend.

She told me that she was on anti-depressants but that she doesn't have the time or energy to go to actually talk to someone. She's much happier now that it's the summer hols and that she's not working at night but doing some day work.

The HA is aware that we think that she needs a bit of assistance. They were aware when the previous tenant suggested the same, and the one before her apparently. I'm sure that she does need help but I am not a therapist so not qualified to comment but her depression manifests itself in bullying behaviour and making everyone around her utterly miserable. I'll just be glad when she's no longer making my life hell and when she's no longer my problem. Harsh, possibly. True though.
 
Not for one second suggesting anything is down to you. I'd just bring it up with the HA and leave it to them to do something or not. It's a shame as she clearly needs help but that's for them to do, not you. I hope they bother to do smoething about it for her sake and the people she has to deal with in life.

Is your neighbourhood like where Josh had to stay in the movie Big? I'm not certainly coming for tea
No, just near to a main road. The street itself is shown on some satnavs as a through street, when in fact its a dead end. One way in, one way out.
The cocks crowing at 3am I'm still not used to. And they're a quarter mile away.

Its Seagulls round our way and we couldn't get much further away from the coast if we tried (Leicester FFS)

Seagulls are quiet around here. The owls would have them otherwise.

We don't have seagulls around here, they wouldn't dare. One of our neighbours is a professional falconer and has a fair few birds that he exercises and trains in our close. We love watching him of an evening. Even the starlings keep out of the way when he's out. We have a fair few owls about too.

We feel for them too but not enough to not do little 'happy dances' ever hour or so. We are so looking forward to her going. We are going to flush the loo after 6pm in celebration.
Take those headphones out of your new amp Saluki & crank the MF up to 10, then make sure to add overdoses of pinched harmonics until her ears burst, or, miraculously she jumps up & shouts METAAAAAAAL !! :thumbsup:
