It'll be manned by grumpy aunties.

see no logic here as to why it should be manned by grumpy aunties.....

doubt so that's how most singaporeans deal with it....havent u read the increased in such cases were on the rise in recent years????

We are a first world country but with seemingly third world grace, and it is surprising that we can be banning chewing gum, creating smoking corners and catching vehicles with modified exhausts because they are deemed 'dangerous' but we cannot protect ourselves from inconsiderate neighbours in our ...

Of course, middle aged Aunties in the void decks at 0600 in the morning cackling like a bunch of hyperactive chooks is a different story. But they are locals so we cannot complain about them. :wink: whether locals or foreigners, as long as they are inconsiderate, complaints should be made! Why disc...

Fuuuh... I can sense the intense rage in twister king's posts. Poor thing, whatever noise his neighbours make, it certainly broke the camel's back (and sanity). On an extreme note, if you have a solid case against such inconsiderate neighbours and police seems to be unable to help you, you can actu...

quote Did you ever try to interact with your neighbours before you had a problem? You should try it. It makes ironing out differences a lot easier and for that matter, as "neighbours" one tends to be more mindful of others. [/quote] YES, done that.....!!

The only problem then was not so much the noise .... Twister_king, you have a seemingly short memory.[/quote] I did not have a short memory that years back we did NOT have so much noise problems compared to now. I can see u agreed too. I'll be enlightened if u can cite some newspapers report about i...

There are less gross ways to stoop so low... a passive-aggressive note, for example. Or just simply talk to them. And why did the police NOT help? We had a passive-aggressive neighbor who, instead of walking five steps to our door to ask us (we were having a party) to tone it down, called the cops o...

Try imagining when one has to deal with a constantly inconsiderate noisy neighbour to having your hairwash at a salon to have the service staff suddenly spray water onto your face to choke you through your nose, just because she's CARELESS??? Yes, u can forgive her once, twice, thrice.....(some peop...

How classy, not!

most condos, especially the expensive ones are generally better built than HDB flats. HDB flats built in the decade of 2000-2010 were very bad (according to some sources). And I happen to live in one of these. I think it's true older HDB flats do not face such noise nuisance from neighbours above. ...

Those of us who have to deal with neighbours from HELL know how agonising, frustrating and upsetting it can be. Noises from INCONSIDERATE neighbours (mostly directly above you) is not simply a volume noise. Just imagine losing sleep night after night for weeks, months....: u're soundly asleep to be ...

Check out the yellow pages for windows ... you can call them first to check if they charge for site measurement and getting a quote. Usually, they shouldnt charge for quotation. Doesnt make sense to quote without first measurement on site, right? So, how can they charge? However, please do not just ...
