To not want to listen to my house mate shagging!

[SomethingProfound]

So my house-mate (who I get along with very well) has a new girlfriend (who is also lovely) but I'm sick to hear them boink!

I have raised this in a jokey way but this has had no effect and I am getting really annoyed. I'm currently doing my years work placement for uni, and don't spend that much time at home AIBU to expect a bit of respect that on the few evenings (I spend about four nights a week away due to my placement) that I am in they exercise some self control, or at least wait till I have finished my dinner!

Pop your ipod on and stop being so jealous

Make score cards and hold them up with marks out of ten when they emerge from the bedroom. Even if housemate doesn't care, the new girlfriend might...

That reminded me of an immortal occasion from my house-sharing days when one of us had A Visitor round and had Gone Upstairs For Private Time.

Other housemates and I were drinking tea and chatting downstairs. But all we could hear echoing down the stairs was

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHH!

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHH!!!!

and so on. For about half an hour. We nearly pissed ourselves laughing.

Said housemate was VERY when we told her

I'd go with the scorecards!

Buy him a copy of world of warcraft or similar, that should knock things on the head.

Clapping in 'time' with the rhythm?

Give it another couple of weeks. It'll wear off.

The passion, I mean!

I'm loving the score card idea! Now to come up with a scoring system!

Get the loudest, shoutiest opera music you can find (Wagner is good for this). Place the speakers close to the wall of the offending room. If you can put them in a room that you can lock even the better. Wait for the noises to start, turn the stero up to 11. Lock the door and walk out.

Stand outside the door, and in a really creepy singsong voice chant "I can seeeeeeeeeee yooooooou"

[unhelpful]

Or yell "FOR GOD'S SAKE SHAG QUIETLY, I'M TRYING TO STUDY"

[deeply unhelpful]

Have you ever seen The Big Bang Theory?

Three words for you. Room. Mate. Agreement.

One of mine used to shout "Oh God Jamie" at her climax!

Her bloke's name was Ian, which was always good for a laugh

This is what CD players/Radios are for.

As others have said the novelty will wear off and the shagathons will be a thing of the past. Soon they'll be on the once in a blue moon/high day or holiday regime like the rest of us.

Q. What do you get after you've had sex from Monday to Friday?

A. A weak end.

Tell them.

I would tell them outright. Hopefully it'll shame them into exercising some restraint.

TheSecondComing, that is not good.
(how are you, btw?)

I'm with the second coming. At least they are not doing it discreetly under a blanket while you all watch a film.

Achy Breaky Heart at full volume should be him off his stride

I'm such a prude

i used to be able to hear my old flatmate shagging, but he made no noise, you could just hear the bed creaking in an eery way. Shudder.

Record the noises and upload them to a website.
