To politely knock on the floor?

[FuckwitMcGee]

Our downstairs neighbours are having very loud Geriatric Sex, and have been for ages.

I'm pleased they're having fun, but I'm concerned someone might break a bone.

You missed off an R.

God! Don't bang on the floor! The shock might send one of them into spasm and you'd have to go and rescue them!

Its OK, weve finished now

@draughtycatflap

I don't think that knocking on the floor can ever be polite. Would be better to go downstairs and tap on their window.

@WinWinnieTheWay To be fair, having loud geriatric sex in a mutually shared space can't ever really be polite either

Put on a sex scene very loudly on the tv!

@peachpuppy

I was being silly, I don't really think tapping on the window is a good idea!

Shining a torch through it would be the best thing to do...

@WinWinnieTheWay Maybe actually just climbing in through the window? Might as well go the whole hog!

(so to speak)

So many perverts think IABU

@mangomcjango that would probably stop them.

@WinWinnieTheWay or, in a very unfortunate circumstance, encourage them ...

I didn't think of that. Dirty old buggars. Op should report it to the police.

30 years in housing here. There is no way to politely knock on a floor, wall or ceiling.

Please please everyone stop.

The real question is how @FuckwitMcGee can know they're geriatric without being able to see them ... maybe we have a secret dirty bugger in our midst

How do they do it differently to if they were not geriatric? I'm 70 and intrigued.

@jessstan2 I'm guessing the false teeth launching at the ceiling?

No, @mangomcjango, I'm not a filthy beast! Our neighbours have been living downstairs for many years now, I know them very well.

I know them more intimately than I ever wanted to now. They have never made such a racket before.

@FuckwitMcGee Oh you know them, that's so much worse !! Enjoy looking them in the eye tomorrow morning hahaha -- it's like a walk of shame without any of the good parts

I thought the proper response was to clap and cheer when they finish.

On second thoughts this is Mumsnet, better log it with police.

@DaisyYellow bwahahahaha don't forget to also get some legal counsel and sue for emotional distress

Knocking on a floor will never. Ever come across as polight 😅
