Do you close doors when you live by yourself? (lemmy.world)

I've got this horrible neighbour upstairs who might possibly be the loudest person in the western hemisphere. Walking around in heels for hours at a time, phone rings so loud that it's more effective at waking me up than my alarm, constantly screeching furniture around all day everyday, blasting the same annoying movie at random times, and slamming doors every 15 minutes.

The apartment isn't even that bad for noise seperation, I never hear the neighbours beside me or the ones under me. This woman is just annoying and I've gone upstairs before to tell her to stop blasting music at midnight in the middle of the week, she treated me like I was the maniac for having the audacity to knock on her door.

As I'm laying in bed last night after getting woken up and hoping today is the day she drops dead, I was wondering why she even needs to close doors. When I lived alone I don't think I ever closed doors, maybe the bathroom on occasion but this old woman lives by herself with no pets yet she's constantly slamming doors. Do people normally close doors often when they live alone?

Yikes. Have you talked to the building manager or landlord ?

Ya I've talked to the superintendent 4 or 5 times about it. Also had another neighbour across the hall that kept slamming their front door 10+ times a day so hard that my front door would rattle. Both situations he said he talked to them but nothing changed so either he's lying or the 2 tenants dont give af.

I had to confront the neighbour across the hall personally before he stopped. He called me an asshole when I asked if he could stop slamming the door. The mindset and logic that these people operate on is incredible. The majority of the building are pretty considerate, I just got stuck living by 2 of the most miserable pricks.
