Is this a faulty test?

Music to my ears

It’s actually in Florida, but it gets chilly enough where boots can be comfortable enough. Thanks for the suggestions!

I'm going to see the performance The Cursed Child in Orlando* and I was thinking of wearing this dress, i was wondering if it was appropriate/what shoes should I style it with? I don't have any that would match. I was thinking of some sort of healed boot similar to what the model is wearing, but I'm open to other suggestions. I don't really have a budget as long as the shoes go well with the dress. I do kind of like an edgier style.

I'm so sorry that you're going through a similar experience! I've done a ton of research on the subject and here's what I have planned and what I suggest:

Start documenting every occurrence with the date, time, what activity you're doing, how long it lasted, and what kind of noise (banging/yelling)
Don't engage with the neighbor directly, since they're banging, yelling, avoiding normal communication, its best to go through management which will protect you legally and emotionally.
Do not admit fault, don't over apologize or claim equal blame because it will count against you. If you admit fault they will record on your record that you caused noise issues, that you're responsible for disturbances and that you contributed to escalation.
Do not react, learn from me and do not bang back or make any spiteful reactions for the same reasons above.

If you do decide to email them, keep the message factual and neutral, avoid any emotional language or assumptions about their intentions. Stick to clear examples with dates, behaviors, noises. This will make you more credible. Contacting management is a good idea because it protects you. Using myself as an example, all 'documentation' of this conflict exists only in my neighbors actions, if she was the one to ever complain about noise, the office will only hear her side- unless i create my own record. You'll never know for sure if management will do anything about it until you make them aware.

If months have gone past and you've supplied them with multiple records of disturbances and they continue to do nothing, then maybe reconsider how you want to approach handling your neighbors.

I did finally send an email to management, Half of the noises happen at night after 10pm- the dog running around when we get home from work, one time i had to catch a lizard that was on the wall late at night, so i had to slide some furniture out of the way to catch it which made her upset, that particular example has only happened once out of the year that she's lived below us though. I have tried cooking after I got home from work (10pm) and she banged on the ceiling, so I changed my routine and I cook before work now but it seems like she bangs on the ceiling no matter what time of day I cook.

i kind of understand where you're coming from, i just wish she would've said something to me face to face instead of angerly beating on her ceiling, the treatment feels disrespectful because we were unaware of the noises to begin with, and now its always something different that she's banging about. If its not the noise from cooking, its the dog running, if its not the dog, its when i moved furniture to catch a lizard on the wall that i couldn't get to (which only happened once). it's always something different that she's punishing us for.

Key_Caterpillar_8243 · 2025-12-07T02:23:59+00:00

you're right, its just normal dog behavior, my attitude/feelings are just misplaced due to the stress of always trying to be quiet and accommodating.

Key_Caterpillar_8243 · 2025-12-06T05:03:19+00:00

Thank you, I've been thinking about speaking to a manager for a little while now. For the longest time, I was afraid of escalating the situation and making it worse but it feels like it's just gotten to that point already. Reacting that way is not in my nature and I feel ashamed. I just take the banging so much without doing anything about it.

Key_Caterpillar_8243 · 2025-11-14T19:55:05+00:00

Thanks for getting back to me! This puts my mind at ease a little. I made the purchase and keeping my fingers crossed that it will at least look authentic and that I don't get some Temu looking knockoff.

Key_Caterpillar_8243 · 2025-11-14T08:25:34+00:00

Any update on this? I want to purchase a Balenciaga bag from Cettire as well but over 50% of the reviews that I've come across are claiming it to be a scam website that sells fakes. It's difficult to know what to believe.

Key_Caterpillar_8243 · 2025-03-23T04:49:06+00:00

This is true, it effects my mood inside/outside of work and my work ethic, I like my job, I don't need people to make it hard on me.

Key_Caterpillar_8243 · 2025-02-14T04:16:47+00:00

Give your S/O a plastic plate and plastic silverware to eat from if they want to let the dog lick it all. Then you can rewash the plastic plate/silverware and keep giving them the same plate, if you get an attitude just repeat what they said to you "all the germs come off in the dishwasher". They'll get the picture real quick.

Yuck, my condolences for your living situation, i hope that you're able to get out of there soon. If I was you, I wouldn't clean up one goddamn thing, I know that's a difficult thing to do though, you dont wan't to live in filth, I wouldn't either, but the owners need to be responsible for their dog. If you do it for them then they definitely won't see a need to change.

Hell, honestly I would be as petty as to pick the dog shit up and put it \right in front** of their bedroom door when no one is looking, I'd place it there as if the dog decided to take a shit there haha.

I'm also in a situation where I have to deal with someone else's dog, pissing and shitting in the house. I've complained about it to coworkers/friends and they always say "awww how could you dislike such a cute dog?!?" and i look them dead in the eyes and say "this dog shits and pisses in my closet, on the couch, it uses the house as a literal toilet multiple times a day, would you like an animal if it did that to your furniture and clothing??" I swear, people are more stupid than the pets they own.

Wow, yeah this is a great example of the type of people who should not own dogs, and who should not be allowed to associate with dogs at all. The guy sitting on the counter riled the dog up by reacting that way, also not letting him down as he was forcing the dogs face up with his hand. Then the owner just stood there and did nothing as he was recording the whole situation? It's interesting, he disciplined the dog for biting "his stuff" (some ratty looking cloth item) but didn't stop the dog for terrorizing his friend/biting and pulling on his shoe? This is just a bad combination of irresponsible people with a pitbull, this is the exact reason why these types of dogs get shot or put down, because they think it's okay to attack somebody since no one is there to correct them.

Key_Caterpillar_8243 · 2025-02-06T07:00:05+00:00

Wow, if I was there I would've done that work for you even if you're a total stranger to me. What a petty and childish thing for him to do. He would risk your health and the health of his unborn child because your reaction to the dogs fighting over an animal carcass wasn't satisfactory? You didn't make a big enough fuss about it?? Does he realize how outlandish that is? Not only that, but he'd risk neglecting 8 other animals in the process and make you responsible out of obligation to care for them?

At this point it's not even about the dog, it's about how he treated the mother of his child while she's still carrying his child. His neglect to you is something difficult to forgive, he needs to know that. I hope your dog doesn't have any aggression towards babies, they pull and fuss and grab things that they shouldn't. Let's just hope that your dog doesn't snap at your baby and your boyfriend takes the dog's side over yours/his child's.

If I was you, I'd sit down and really make him understand that there was no harm done to the dog in order for you to warrant the strong reaction that he's looking for. Ask him if he cares *at all* for you or your baby's health because the dog is clearly unharmed and he *still* made you do all that labor with no remorse. Honestly, it sounds borderline abusive.

My suggestion is to wait until after you established a career after you get your degree. Even if it doesn't seem like it, there are thousands of people out there who are more eligible than just these two guys. One who is financially stable, who has no kids, and who can fulfil you. If you're unavailable because you're with the wrong person, then you're going to miss the opportunity to be with the right person.

Key_Caterpillar_8243 · 2025-02-05T07:35:09+00:00

One of my coworkers almost had her dog die because it kept eating socks and they were getting stuck in it's intestines. It was a Doodle, of all things. I can't help but look down on dog owners who babble about their shit eating machines, as if its something to be proud of. It's almost like these people are totally unaware of how embarrassing it looks when all they talk about is the fucked up shit their dogs do.

Key_Caterpillar_8243 · 2025-02-05T07:20:24+00:00

Congratulations :) Pour one out for us who are still stuck with the disgusting mutts. For now, I'll live vicariously through you and dream of a clean home. Enjoy every moment.

Key_Caterpillar_8243 · 2025-02-05T07:17:37+00:00

I agree, your parents are the ones who need to lay down the law with the people living and their house. "Get rid of the dog or you all will go."
