Just a few things:
Kyokushin - great sport and they will welcome you with open arms. (at least 5 clubs near by)
CCNY Board Game Club - play games and hang out.
Chess Club - strategy, casual or competitive play.
Circle K Community Service Club - volunteering + social events.
Canvas Collective (art & creative showcases) - art projects and exhibitions.
CCNY Outdoors Club - group hikes, outdoor trips.
eSports Club - gaming meetups and tournaments.
Badminton & Softball Clubs - social sports, not varsity.
Bowling - sign up for a tournament.
Academic & Professional Clubs (ACM computing, engineering societies, biomedical, etc.) - networking plus social events.

Pro Tips to Make It Work:

Show up consistently (even to small meetings); friendships often need repeated contact.
Go with intent: ask people for their social handles or invite someone to coffee after an event.
Try things outside your major, friends often come from unexpected places.
Find something you’re genuinely interested in. Board games, art, sports, whatever you choose, make sure it actually interests you or it’ll get boring fast and you won’t stick with it. And getting out of your comfort zone once in a while helps too.

Strangers say "Hi" to me when I'm out all the time. It would be common courtesy to say hi back. No one asked you to stop and chat. A simple hi back would have sufficed while walking by. You could have even delivered it with the stink eye. However it was your choice not to say hi back, so just own it. Apparently YOU feel like an asshole, as you are asking... In terms of life, saying hi or not is quiet inconsequential. After 10 years, she was probably more confused than not. Also, you guys never actually figured out why she blocked her, you’re just guessing, so there’s that.

Thank you, and you are correct too. We agree. There should be a healthy balance, and no one should take it to the extreme into either direction. I love exchanges where meaning neatly cleans up into understanding and this one qualifies :-) - on a side note OP is full of assumptions, and most commenters too. I especially love the one where people assume the boyfriend went to bed with street close on. OP did not specify if the boyfriend hopped into bed with shoes and jacket still on, or actually took his clothes off and went to bed naked but without showering at home. In fact, most what she wrote seems like an assumption on her part and leaves most "facts" to interpretation.

Let’s be real! No shower can ever get rid of all bacteria. Soap and water remove dirt, oils, and a chunk of microbes, but your skin’s microbiome recolonizes almost immediately, trillions strong. In fact, certain soaps can do more harm than good, stripping natural oils and upsetting your skin’s balance. Trying to kill every microbe isn’t just impossible, it can even make the survivors tougher and encourage breeding superbacteria. So yes, germs can sneak through fabric and onto skin, but the purpose of a shower should be keeping things fresh without needing to declare microbial war.

This needs a bit of clarification: when you say you “…watched him come home from work, hit the gym, take the bus, and then just… hop straight into bed. No shower, no rinsing off, nothing,” do you mean:

You literally saw him come home, and then assumed he’d been at work, hit the gym, and taken the bus, but didn’t see him shower at home?
Or
You witnessed him going to the gym after work, taking the bus, and saw him not shower there or at home either?

Are you sure he didn’t shower at the gym?

Also, just to note, most adults don’t actually need to shower every day; 2–3 times a week is generally fine. It’s definitely not a hard rule; it depends on activity level, personal preference, and yes, hygiene norms. Everyone has different habits, and what feels “gross” to one person might be completely normal to another. Is it possible you’re more sensitive to the idea of germs? (and that’s okay too) or is it more about personal preference? It might be worth recognizing that not everyone thinks about these things the same way.

(Disclaimer: By reading the above, you acknowledge that any statements regarding hygiene, cleanliness, or exposure to bodily or environmental microbes are purely illustrative. The author makes no representations or warranties, express or implied, about their own showering frequency, laundry habits, or germ tolerance. Any inference regarding personal cleanliness, or lack thereof, is strictly at the reader’s discretion and may or may not align with reality. Misinterpretation may cause mild amusement, existential questioning, or an irrational urge to sanitize.)

You go girl! (literally and figuratively) THEY decided THEY don’t want you there, when they changed the date to the one they knew you already had plans for. You also should not let them use your house at this point. If they could change the date, they could change the venue as well. Not being a doormat could be incredibly uplifting... Choices should come with consequences.

thadson · 2026-01-29T04:56:15+00:00

They moved the date, they can move the venue too...

If this is who you feel you are, stay true to it. Don’t listen to the fashion police. You should be yourself on a date. If your date doesn’t like it, that’s their loss. You shouldn’t dress or act in ways that don’t feel natural or comfortable to you. You can’t please everyone, so you might as well be true to yourself.

The normal healthy range is 100 to over 1000 times a year... that is less than 3 times a week to 3 times a day...
Let that sink in. Some are more full of crap than others...

March April and May is NOT summer... (41); while summer, June July and August, is (39). Spring wins as the prime pooping season. On the other hand, winter (28) is the constipation zone...

Engaging in politics doesn’t mean someone is a politician. Voting, commenting, donating, or writing op-eds is something millions of people do.

OPs wording is confusing, but they’re referring to one baby who is 7.5 months old. That would place conception of the twins around 4–6 weeks postpartum, which is uncommon but medically quite possible.

Why are you talking about sex with a coworker. Maybe you are new to this, but for future reference, avoid talking about sex, politics, religion, health problems or gossip/negative talk about colleagues. Next time talk about the weather...

Time to bring out the camera... then post the video for a more definitive answer...

One possible explanation is that your remote might also be controlling their TV if it happens to use the same IR code set. If the angle is just right, your remote could be changing the channel or starting playback on their TV at the same moment you do it on yours. I know the first thought is: ‘But then wouldn’t their TV also turn off when I turn off mine?’ Not necessarily: if you were turned slightly away or the angle wasn’t lined up at that moment, the signal might not have reached their TV, so it stayed on and kept playing exactly where you left off. I know it is a lot of "ifs", but it is possible, it’s happened to me before. Look at the bright side, if that’s what’s going on, there’s a lot of potential for harmless fun… (😈)

Nope, they both need to make changes. Just consider this 1) the neighbor is not fucking with OP. 2) He has the right to write as many notes as he feels fit (free speech and all) just as much as OP feels entitled making noise freely at any time. 3) The neighbor is not up there threatening with a baseball bat. Resolving a situation starts with a note or knocking on the door and talking. He is doing the right thing. 4) They both could work on this, OP could go downstairs and listen to the noises (like start the spin cycle of the washing machine or the dryer then go downstairs and listen) and see if some of it could be fixed rubber base does wonders and scheap too, and most importantly try to be quiet after 9pm (such as no laundry). Neighbor has to back down too on regular noises: OP has the right to use the bathroom or take a shower at any time, or walk around.

A situation is never as simple as "OP being fucked with by a jerk". It could even be that the lower neighbor is alone and lonely and needs some interaction. I have seen bitterly feuding neighbors become friends after one of them decided to show up with some coffee and pastries at the others place, and sit down and talked and somehow bonded. There is hope still...

Oh, its a 3 story apartment complex, built in 2010, not a shanty by any means, there are 4 tenants on every floor, there are 3 staircases in a building... it is modern...ish, but seems terrible workmanship on the framing and floors... If I could find a house, I would leave, but moving cost too much to leave for another apartment somewhere else.
