The things you hate about living in a flat

[JohnKettleyIsAWeathermanAndSoIsMichaelFish]

My upstairs neighbour has just got home, slammed her front door which makes my windows rattle and gone for a pee. Yep. I heard her having a pee. It feels very intrusive. But I have IBS and I'm sure she hears that too. So embarrassing. I could hear my previous upstairs neighbours having sex while I was trying to get to sleep. And the neighbour before that had his daughter over at weekends who was learning to play the cello. She wasn't very good. My next door neighbour is slightly hard of hearing and when we're watching the same TV show it's like an echo, I can hear my TV first then hers. Maybe one day I'll be able to live in a detached house.

The lack of storage and not being allowed to have an EV Chsrgepoint, oh and no garden

I'm on the top floor. The fact it is south facing and a literal sauna in the summer. And extortionate service charge. Sometimes the fuses trip or blow. Can't control the hallway heating so that often is like stepping into a furnace. Couldn't afford to buy in a decent town but there is a nice supermarket.

Other than that I quite like it here. Has good size balcony and storage. People often say 'it's quite spacious' when they walk in, so I assume they were expecting a box. Underground carpark and bike storage. Coffee shops downstairs. Quite like sounds of neighbours as it can feel lonely when it's deadly silent.

The cow on the 5th floor who runs her a/c 24/7 and doesn't have a proper drip tray. It drips water from her balcony and onto my courtyard day and night. Its a form of torture. Ignores all requests to sort it out.
She's a renter and I'm desperate for the day she moves on.

I live on the ground floor of a 4 in a block flat so I have a front and back door and decent sized garden.

What I hate is the heroin addicts next door and their shouting and arguing and dealing to cars which draw up outside. I have phoned the police on them before when the man is being abusive and then they are quiet for a couple of weeks. I've also told them about the dealing but I suspect small dealers like them are not high priority to investigate.

I do hear some noise from upstairs, things like washing machines and hoovers but luckily that neighbour is generally quiet.

Next door fail to use their "indoor voices" and shout at each other all the time.

Downstairs' music. Upstairs music and dancing.

When DD was small it was getting the buggy up and down the stairs.

Drying your clothes on a rack because there's no space for a dryer in the kitchen.

I don't live in a flat but in a a back to back terrace so have neighbours on three sides. I hate the fact that when the people in the house behind go up their stairs it sounds like someone is coming up mine and it freaks me out, every single time.

My immediate upstairs neighbours who slam the street door and their own front door and then stomp around in their flat. Pleas for them to please close doors quietly resulted in even more door slamming and stomping. Also the couple who moved into the top floor flat (fourth floor) with a large dog which barks its head off if they leave it alone. What idiot buys a top floor flat when they already own a large dog which needs to go out about 8 times every 24 hours?

I live in a semi and when the idiots next door slam their front door my house shakes, they don’t know what a handle is for. You get idiot noise in most places
