Parents Who Think the World Revolves Around Their Child’s Nap Schedule Relentlessly Text Neighbors

Picture this: a man named Jake shares his frustrations about his neighbors on Imgur, and the story is a wild ride. “On March 19th, we welcomed new neighbors,” Jake explains. He took the initiative to introduce himself, offering his phone number in case they needed anything. He even mentioned his electronic drum kit, which he only plays a couple of times a week, around 4 PM after work. A friendly gesture, right?

But here’s where it gets interesting. He kindly asked them to let him know if the drumming ever disrupted their baby’s nap. Despite having done this with previous tenants without issue, the very next morning, he received a text complaining about the noise—ironically, an autocorrect mishap turned “drumming” into “drinking.”

And it only spiraled from there. Every little sound seemed to set off the neighbor’s complaints. “My friend came over around 4:30 PM, and we didn’t settle down until 6:30 PM. It was a Friday, and our complex was buzzing with activity,” he notes. Not long after, Mr. Whiny-Pants (as we’ll call him) came banging on the door, demanding silence. Seriously, you can’t expect absolute quiet at 6:45 PM in a city apartment!

To top it off, Jake uses headphones while drumming! The neighbors were upset about the sound made by the sticks hitting the drum pads—talk about a stretch. Despite his patience, Jake eventually stopped replying to their incessant texts, but the drama didn’t end there.

This saga took a toll not only on Jake’s peace of mind but also on his mental health, as drumming had been his coping mechanism through tough times. The apartment management, swayed by the neighbors’ complaints, even sent him a notice banning drumming altogether. Now, he’s stuck dealing with their relentless texts about any noise he dares make.

Here’s the kicker: trying to control your environment and everyone else’s is the ultimate display of entitlement. Babies can learn to nap through noise, and perhaps the neighbors should consider soundproofing their own apartment instead.
