To wish that my housemate would stop...

[ShowMeYourTARDIS]

Having vigorous sex?

He has a new friend. That's great. We also happen to share a wall. They're quite loud. Headphones don't help because my bed starts to shake! They've woken me up 2 or 3 times this past week.

I don't really like waking up to THUMPTHUMPTHUMPTHUMP shriEEEEEK moaaaaan THUMPTHUMPTHUMPTHUMPTHUMPTHUMPTHUMPTHUMPTHUMPTHUMPTHUMP

I'm going to have to ask him to move his bed, aren't I?

Op maybe change it for this to 'Dontshow....

Just to be on the safe side

do a "when Harry met Sally" back at them, they will get the message!

Thump back on the wall morse code style

Ah I feel your pain - our upstairs neighbours do this - 10pm, 4am and 6am a couple of times a week. Can also hear their alarm clocks, stamping around, taps turning on and off!!! It's so disruptive, I feel for you!

How old are you all? How long have you been living together? Does he own the house? I would arrange a meeting and ask them to be respectful of you and others and to find times when they will have the house to themselves

Slip some bromide in his tea joking.

I had to ask the person in the room above me in uni halls to move their bed as some weird arrangement of beams and walls meant that my bed shook when they were shagging. We'd only been there a couple of weeks!

BuzzardBird what message should OP Morse-code?

Jeepers. All these people having all this sex! jealous

Offer a hand?

Oh god, they're at it again.

Pity you can't post recordings to MN . . . or can you?

The shagging. STOP. The constant, noisy shagging. STOP. I wish you would. STOP

Or stop the beep beep beep ...

Hahah. I know this is bad, but seriously, just talk to him!

OR, wait until he has one night in when he's tired from all the shagging and invite a friend over so he knows how it feels ;)

But seriously, just talk. I've had to have them, it's embarrassing but so much easier than listening to AC/DC every night to avoid the noise...

A few years ago we rented a flat above a woman who was, I'd say, in her late 50s/early 60s - attractive in a mature way I guess, not that that has anything to do with it. She had a gentleman caller who looked like Captain Birdseye. They used to regularly wake us up in the small hours with their noisy couplings. FFS we used to think, we're the ones in our early 30s - shouldn't it be the other way round? We had the consideration, not to mention the modesty, to shag quietly. Honestly, it was toe curling!

UH UH UH UH UH UUUUHHHH UHHHHH OH GOD UH UH UH and so on :o

I had to warn people when they stayed.

And there was a girl in university halls who regularly used to scream and howl her way through Sunday afternoons in bed with her boyfriend. Everyone used to snigger about it. Eventually one of her mates took her aside and told her to tone it down a bit, and the poor girl was mortified that no one had told her before. She couldn't look anyone in the eye for ages and was upset none of her friends had said anything sooner.

Tell him!

When my flatmate did this, my then boyfriend and I gave them a loud round of applause at the end

Start calling him thumper?

Seriously I would just casually say "um, housemate, when you shag the bed hits my wall and it makes my bed shake and it feels like I'm right in there in the same bed as you two! Please could you move your bed away from the wall/shag quietly? Thanks v much"

Get a little bell not referring to another thread at all

Ring a bell?

X post!

Rate him on noise, and tell him his score each time.... The fun you can have. My friend at uni used once clapped after one of his housemates was very noisy. He had a lot of friends around at the time and beer was involved. From what i hear they never heard that guy again. Tbh i think you politely mention it as i suspect he doesnt know.
