The woman who lives above me is an absolute fruitloop. She creeps around the close at all hours of the night fiddling with the communal lights, taping over the lock on the back door (???) and just generally being a busy body. She was the only woman in the building when we moved here (block of 6 flats) and it seems she has taken a particular dislike to having another woman in the building. We have never exchanged more than a hello but it's just the impression I get.
Everything is a competition with her. Not a single occasion passes by where I put my washing out or take my hoover into the close to tidy my doorstep up that she isn't 10 minutes behind me doing the exact same thing. I thought it was just coincidental at first but now it's outright annoying - can't I do anything without having a shadow creeping behind me?
I'm particularly annoyed at her today because of this awful heat we're having and she has put her washing machine on FOUR times. I know this because there is a very distinct bang when she slams the door shut and then a loud kind of gargle(?) noise that flows through the pipes as the machine fills with water, and then an hour later she is outside with the laundry.
Of course she is allowed to do laundry but she appears to be washing 3-4 items at a time, then 2 hours later another load, and another, and another. I should probably mind my own business and I'm prepared to be told to do so but I can't help letting it bother me. We've been advised to try limit water usage in this heat and yet she's completely taking the piss IMO. Her machine when spinning also rattles my entire kitchen and that makes it even more annoying!
Would I be unreasonable to speak to her about limiting her water usage or should I just mind my own? I know it's so trivial but with the constant rumbling noise above my head it's all I can think about!
