richjm asked: Hi Sarah. Every single morning, the crazy lady in the flat downstairs screams, bangs things and whistles. It's all very primal and horrific to hear and it sounds like an apocalypse is trying to escape from her head and take over her kitchen. We're talking 6am-ish, lasting for a couple of hours, every... single.. day. Even weekends. What would you do? Talk to her (and risk whatever comes with that), complain, or ring the police every morning like the neighbours do? Bear in mind she covers her front door in tin foil and posts notes through the door written on tissue boxes with apologies for the noise and saying it's simply because she has a lung infection, so a conversation with her won't be the most rational. I feel very sorry for the poor lady but at the same time my patience is wearing thin. Ok.. shoot!
Yours, Richard in London, England.
Assuming that your flat is amazing and you’re not going to move and that the police aren’t helping and that your landlord is ineffective and/or deaf, I think you should start living in your bathtub, under the water, in snorkel gear. With earplugs. 60% of the time it works every time!
