Neighbour Horror Trilogy
My weekend neighbour trilogy is complete. Like every good horror story mine came in three parts: The grinding and drilling, the humming wall and now the hammer - the worst of all three-.9am, that is the time that this horror story occured. It came suddenly with a couple of hard and well targeted smashes to my area of our shared wall and it ended just as quickly. Like the bludgeoning of a victim in a movie my pain was realised quickly, experienced like a bad headache and then went away just as fast. Fortunately my story does not end in death for anyone... yet.I am now awake and the hammering has stopped. As in a good horror, there is one person left standing at the end with their entire life destroyed and no reason to really move on, so I am left awake with silence and unable to fall asleep.
My wall is humming
You know the neighbours i mentioned almost exactly a week ago on my "8am on a Saturday"? Well they are at it again, this time it's somewhat of a more confusing tactic. My bedroom wall (that shared wall) it is humming, it has been humming for an entire day and night now. I'm not sure if anyone has ever tried falling asleep to a humming wall, but it's kinda like Chinese water torture (you know, with the dripping of the water on to the head). It's not fun, i promise. This is how the conversation in my head went with the wall/neighbours (I hope it was in my head or I'm going a bit mad):
Nic: Is this wall humming?Wall: Yes, yes I am.Nic: Why are you humming you stupid wall?Wall: Because I enjoy seeing and hearing your reaction. And so do your neighbours.Nic: OK. Thats cool, so be it, torture is torture.
And then sleep kind of entered the equation. Then the torture coupled with a crack of light from my curtains and I was up almost every half hour on the half hour from sunrise. Ah the joys of the weekend!
