gravion Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 hiya, i live in an apt here in bkk. i got this female upstairs that keeps on bugging me by banging some thing on her table. some might say this is just everyday noises, such as putting a cup on a wooden table or what not. but i do feel she is making this noise intentionally, while she was banging frquently couple of times, as i retailate by banging the ceiling, she starts banging more repeatedly. firstly, i tried "knocking on her door" with a bang, but she never opens. around 3 days i started kicking on the door... the landlord caught my action on cctv and told me to inform him whenever this happens, hes a nice dude and hardly informs me to contact him to be the buffer, so that i wont be in deep trouble. his intention was to call him whenever theres noise, so that he could visit my room to hear it. but this female upstairs does this at around 6:50am ish and at night, and sometimes in between, most likely to disturb my sleep. i can sense it... it's hard to explain, and u prolly know what i mean. seems to be a single female, may be around 30 ish, maybe working parttime, maybe middle class since she's living alone. i dont know what to do, i tried putting my tv on a cupboard to amplifiy the noise today, but it;s really sad and i dont wanna be like this... so i put it back wheere it was. it is making me depressed, and when i was boxing today, i couldnt get it out of my mind for a while... im scared that i might thump her or even kill her and end of my life in jail... seriously... to be honest... i really want to throw my fists to her... why is maybe ok to exhancge fists at bar with males, yet not with females? i mean u wont get into deep trouble by hitting males comapred to females. some females think they are bullet proof or something? i mean on this border line, when i cross the line, my life will probably end up in jail... please help me and advice me before it's too late... (to be honest, i dont generally like thais, maybe 50/50 im here, cuz cost is cheap.) thanx... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JurgenG Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 to be honest, i dont generally like thais, maybe 50/50 im here, cuz cost is cheap. That's what I always suspected, to be poor sucks. I will save this post for my kids, look what's going to happen to you if you don't work at school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon43 Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 (edited) The general advice with situations like this is not to post when you are completely p*ssed because it makes for very strange reading when you sober up Simon Edited February 24, 2011 by simon43 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neverdie Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 gravion, have you tried medication? Perhaps you should present yourself to the doctors & explain how you are feeling, because it sounds like you are a real threat to the community. As for the woman upstairs, let the landlord handle her, hes already offered. Geeze dude, take it easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2oDunc Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 I don't suppose it has crossed your mind that the banging you here morning and evening is her making some somtam, chilli paste or some other Thai delight with her pestle and mortar. Something which every Thai that I know does at least a few times a day and involves lots of banging ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyL Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Yup, given the times when the noise occurs it does sound like a mortar and pestle. Usually the pounding doesn't last long unless she's cooking for a restaurant. We live two doors down from a restaurant and do hear pounding several times a day. Also, we can hear the mortar and pestles of our across-the-soi neighbors. I like to cook and find myself using my mortar and pestle more and more, especially once I realized it's easier to clean than a food processor and safer than trying to cut up stuff into small pieces with a knife. I don't pound anything for breakfast, though, but Thai ladies do. The OP should ask someone to demonstrate the use of a mortar and pestle and see if that's the sound. There are two kinds of mortar and pestles -- wooden ones used for somtan and gently crushing garlic or peanuts. Then there are the heavy duty models -- they look like they're made of concrete. You use those to totally pulverize peppers, garlic and various other plant materials into paste. They can make some noise. Hubby knows it's time to get up from his late afternoon nap when he hears my mortar and pestle, because it means dinner is coming soon. If the noise is a mortar and pestle, then the OP should just learn to live with it and maybe get to know the lady. My Thai language teacher says there's an old saying in Thailand that in order to find a good wife, a man should listen for a home where the mortar and pestle is used frequently -- it means that a good cook lives there. Continuing on his present course is only going to get the OP tossed out of the building. No Thai manager is going to ask a lady to refrain from using her mortar and pestle a couple times daily (unless tenants aren't allowed to cook in the building). Pounding and kicking the door of a lady living alone is considered harassment in any country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a troll post. The expression "prolly" is some idiot's version of the perfectly good word, "probably" I have no idea what "noice" means. My best guess is someone doesn't know how to spell and is too lazy to check the spelling on WORD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NancyL Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Ian, thank you for suggesting that the OP may be a troll. After reading his profile and previous posts, I think he's a professional troll. In the future, I'm going to spend a few moments checking out an OP's pedigree before I invest 15 minutes in crafting a thoughtful reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After reading his profile and previous posts, I think he's a professional troll. In the future, I'm going to spend a few moments checking out an OP's pedigree before I invest 15 minutes in crafting a thoughtful reply. Because of where I live we have what I call "intermittent-net". I never know when it's going to just stop working. Consequently, if I'm going to write any more than one sentence I save it in WORD before posting. If the internet shuts down in mid paragraph I lose everything. Also, over time you start to know the various posters and their style. It saves time knowing your opponent when making a reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyL Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Thanks, Ian. I've never thought of fellow Thai Visa members as "opponents". However, I do need to get to know more about individual posters before investing time in responding, be it in Word or using the forum directly. This guy is clearly a loser (I was thinking of a stronger adjective initially, one that started with the letter "A"). I hope that if he does try to kick down the door of a Thai lady living alone her neighbors or building security will handle him before he gets to her. I think, though, he'll be too busy dreaming up new troll posts and won't do anything that involves physical activity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metisdead Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 OP should heed the helpful contributions offered and find a solution through a non violent manner. As such this topic is now closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
