A disgruntled resident has sparked fierce online discussion after attaching a strongly worded handwritten message to their upstairs neighbours' door, accusing them of hosting parties deep into the night before resuming the revelry at dawn.
The note, which appeared on Reddit, came after what the downstairs tenant described as yet another weekend of pounding music and disruptive noise that had finally driven them to breaking point.
According to the frustrated resident, the upstairs occupants had been throwing loud gatherings every weekend at unusual times, with the latest episode continuing until 2.30am before kicking off again at 7am that same morning.
The music reportedly started up once more at 6am the following day.

"I cannot fathom why people can be as inconsiderate towards their neighbours like you have been," the message stated. "Partying until 2am then taking a four-hour break before starting to party again is diabolical."
The author explained that their fiancé works second shift and desperately requires rest, describing the early-morning disturbances as "not only inconsiderate, it's rude and disrespectful".
"You are NOT the only people who live in this apartment building," the note continued, suggesting the noisy tenants should consider renting or purchasing a house if they wished to maintain such habits.
The resident warned they would be contacting the landlord if the behaviour persisted.

In a particularly uncomfortable revelation, the note mentioned that following a previous "rager", sounds of a partygoer being sick could be heard through the bathroom vents, emphasising that "the walls are very thin" and "we can hear everything".
The post drew mixed reactions from Reddit users, with many cautioning that the approach could backfire spectacularly.
"Don't threaten to go to the landlord - just go to the landlord with documented dates and times," one commenter advised.
Another warned that "that note is just going to encourage them to be even louder", recommending the resident approach building management directly instead.
The local used Reddit to vent their frustration
| GETTYSeveral users expressed concern that written confrontations tend to heighten tensions in shared accommodation settings.
"If I got this note, I'd assume you were nuts," one bluntly remarked.
Others recommended bypassing notes entirely in favour of lodging official complaints or noise reports, arguing that angry written messages frequently provoke retaliation rather than resolution.
The viral discussion has resonated particularly strongly in Australia, where increasing numbers of people find themselves living in closer proximity within flats and townhouses as property prices continue to climb.

Disputes over noise rank among the most frequent conflicts in shared residential settings, especially concerning weekend gatherings and early-morning disturbances.
Australian regulations generally prohibit loud music and party noise between 10pm and 7am on weekdays, with weekend restrictions typically running from midnight until 8am.
Strata by-laws in apartment complexes often enforce stricter quiet periods and may ban excessive noise at any time if it unreasonably disrupts another resident's peace.
Experts advise that whilst frustration following repeated sleep deprivation is understandable, direct confrontation carries risks.
Formal complaints, thorough documentation and allowing building management to intervene typically produces more favourable results.
