I really dislike this kind of domestic commons confrontation. Back when people knew their apartment neighbors this would likely not happen to begin with, and if it did it would be a deliberate provocation. Now apartment renters mostly don’t know what it means to be neighbors.

Maybe it’s both ways? To be neighbours should include being able to have an ongoing neighbourly relationship as a context for these difficult convos, but good luck finding that in a city. And it’s harder to bring stuff up when you’re in emotionally distant proximity.

Had the upstairs neighbors playing a game of tag around 1 am shortly after our first born showed up. When I banged on their door, swear to God, they tried to pretend they weren't there
