to not leave my flat until my neighbours move out?

[JellyBeansHaveNoAgeLimit]

"Dear Mr & Mrs Jellybean,

I tried knocking on your door as we thought we heard you but there was no answer.

There is no easy way to say this, please move your bed AWAY from the wall. After working all weekend i did not appreciate being woken up by you both last night.

As you know we are moving out soon, this isn't the first time we've heard you both & your new neighbours might not be so understanding.

Your downstairs neighbours. "

I am sooooo embarrassed (and very glad i didn't hear the door!) but also a bit annoyed! Admittedly we were rather loud last night but it wasn't like we were at it for hours! Mr Jellybean & i only dtd about once a week (if that) and its not like its earth shatteringly loud every time! As they are moving out in a few weeks did they really need to create awkwardness now?

I am more embarrassed than annoyed though, what the hell do i say if i see them?! I can't just carry on as normal can i?

Haha! Nothing you can do or say really.

You should be pleased that you now know that the noise travels, your new neighbours might not have been so tactful!

Oh, and move your bed!

Move your bed away from the wall in future, but there's no need to be embarrassed. Having sex with your husband in your own bed in not abnormal behaviour.

I went to my neighbours to get my passport countersigned and we got to talking and half hour later she dropped it in to conversation that she could hear me and my DP having sex. I was shocked however looking back we open the windows and pull the blind down and I'm a loud one and there's always a lot of sex talk...

We're still friends we just try to keep it down don't be embarrassed they're leaving soon lol

Bloody cheek of some people! It's not like they are having to listen all the time!

OMG how rude! They should never have said they heard you unless it really is a problem.

Never living in a flat!

Thanks guys, i am just so . I am a really shy person (not with DH obviously!) and have no idea what I'll say/do if i see them before they leave!

I am so relieved i didn't hear the door, can't believe they would have had the balls to say it to my face! Think i would have died of embarrassment!

You need to install a helipad so you can leave via the roof for the next few weeks.

Whenever anything embarrassing has happened with my neighbors (we've all seen each other in various states of undress at one time or another ) we just pretend that it never happened. Move your bed and then forget about it.

Erm, say you were away? It was your house-sitters...

You've had words, they were mortified. Won't happen again.

says she who had Noise Police come round, ex basically lied, said I was away with work, couldn'ta been us, oh no

Oh.. I'm so sorry OP.. but this is too funny!

go in with some full on drama for a laugh- get down there, burst into tears, ask what they heard, you weren't there, moan that Mr Jb must be having an affair or escorts round, ask them to spy on him for you....
By the end of that drama they will be avoiding you in embarrassment

Haha! Sorry OP I'm cracking up. Mortifying!

I have a couple of pairs of thick socks stuffed behind my headboard to avoid this issue.

ha ha dida i would totally do that if i had the guts!

Just to add to the scandal, i am 6 months pregnant atm, bet they think we're right randy buggers!

the capitals, seriously considering putting safety foam around the headboard. Not sure how much it'll help though tbh as we have an old metal bed frame that really needs replacing!

You need to get Mr Jellybean onto this and pay penance for his share if the shame....
Tell him no more nookie until he has tightened the bolts on the bed frame (reduces creaking and movement) and made sure no parts of the bed can hit the wall.

Ah for a metal framed bed what you need to do is stick foam tennis balls to the back of the headboard bit. With some ones jauntily positioned on the top of any sticky up bits. Allegedly.

That made me laugh! We are currently renting a flat as we just moved cities and we are trying to figure out where the best place to buy will be. Anyway, we were getting down to TTC sex on Saturday evening when suddenly our loud stompy neighbour upstairs decides to have very physical, loud drunken sex with his GF. Bed banging against the wall and floor, shrieking from the GF etc... It was funny but very offputting. The moment was kind of lost for us in the end, had to wait another thirty minutes to start again. Other people having noisy sex is quite the mood killer as it turns out!

Move your bed and turn your volume down, no one wants to hear it. Really.
