I live in an apartment complex, 2 flats below, 2 above. Below are vacant, upstairs is me and the other flat is this young couple.

Now our flats have heavy doors, and since they moved in a month ago, they constantly slammed their door, during the day, even coming home at 4-5am, and since our front doors are less than 5 meters from the others front door, you can imagine how easy one will jump from their sleep when the doors are slammed.

so about a week after they moved in, I thought I'd nip it in the bud and go talk to them. I spoke to the husband and asked him to kindly not slam his door since it's very loud and wakes me up. He acted like he wasn't aware it was that disturbing but said ok no problem. I also don't believe they do it on purpose, it's just how they are, they don't realize that living in apartments, is different to houses, and you have to have a little consideration for your neighbours.

Anyway a week passed since the talk and now they are doing it again, every now and then I am woken up at midnight onwards by their constant door slams.

Now before they moved in, I used to play my music loud since I had no neighbour below me and no one upstairs next to me. Since they moved in, I listened to my music on my headphones at night since I didn't wanna disturb them.

Anyway, seeing that they really don't give a ****, a couple of days ago I started listening to my music loud on my 6 speaker pioneer home theater sytem, and I'm the bass literally vibrates the whole place. I thought if they don't want to compromise and be considerate, **** it, I'll play the noisy neighbour game too till they understand.

I decided that whenever they slam their door and wake me up, I'm going to turn my **** up and keep them up too, and if they come to my door, I'll simply say you stop slamming your door and waking me up and we won't have this problem.

So my question is, how would you deal with this situation?

I could complain to the leasing office but I mean what can they do? They can't enforce a no-door-slamming rule on these idiots.

Thoughts?
