Well, yeah, I have, doof.

Let me give you a reason you fail to walk and chew gum simultaneously. People in cheap apartments realize that they are living in cheap apartments. Noise is a constant; cops more than occasionally; alcoholics and parolees are not unheard of; etc. Therefore, the give a little/get a little axiom is a rule of life. You…

Been out of my parents’ house for three decades, chief. You are a perfect example of people who cannot comprehend the reality of cheap apartments with thin walls, only the point you wish to bitch on about incessantly. There are apartments I’ve lived in where one could hear a good breeze blow outside, much less can…

No, fuck you. Some people realize the reality of the situation - that no noise of any type is blocked - and deal with it. BIG CAPS TYPERS like you rant about it and pout. Get this through your thick skull - go fuck yourself and die slowly.

Once again, moron, no one said ‘thumping stereo system’ except for you. Since you are arguing with some part of your own imagination, please continue. Mental illness has never been so fascinating ...

Once again, since you keep stretching this into ‘bumping stereo”-land, I am referring to living in a place where a transistor radio at a reasonable volume - even an extremely reasonable volume - is heard through the walls, which have the sound-muffling capabilities of Charmin. I never said anything about “bass-heavy…

No, I’m someone rational enough to realize that there will be everyday noise in apartments with thin walls. Move into an igloo if you want absolute quiet. Noise is part of that many people living that close together, for Christ’s sake.

No, you didn’t address that, because if you had, you would see that any noise is heard through such walls. Music is just another background noise. You motherfuckers that want to live in some noiseless vacuum should join a monastic order. You would be the guys banging on the wall and I , as well as the property…

Oh, bullshit. A certain level of noise - when evertything is audible - is to be expected. Otherwise, find an elderly apt. complex where everyone goes to bed at 7 P.M., share some tapioca, and shut the fuck up.

Should one not cough, use a coffee grinder, flush their toilet, take a shower, talk, etc.? I can hear all my neighbors do that - unamplified, imagine. I don’t think you understand what some of the posters here mean when they say “thin walls”.

Yeah, you really are an asshole. Thins walls/no insulatiion = I can hear my neighbors fart. You just deal with it.

Nice snide dig at baseball. Classy.

Hallelujah! There IS a God and he loves us all, except for Ryne Sandberg.

I’m late to the dance but let me make this at least a troika of Brussels sprouts hate. Considering the emergent genetic angtle on why some hate them, I feel utterly justified in never violating my palate with these little abominations ever again.

First, fuck IPAs. Second, I can eat three sandwiches in one sitting, no sweat, as can my dad and my brother and ain’t nobody disowning nothing.

Shiity grammar on purpose and I can’t wait for the bitchery.

This? Again?

It's called right to work; it's the law in 25 states; and, as I live in one of those 25 hellholes, it is beyond a dystopia - it is hell on earth.

Nah we won't be doing that.

I cannot remember the last time a ghost story held my attention, and I have been reading all kinds of horror/dark fantasy/whatever this decade's term for it is for forty+ years.

+1 Could not agree more.
