I found creepy note from my neighbour taped to my door & I have no clue what to do… some people think it’s MY fault
A NEIGHBOUR has been left baffled after finding a strange note from her neighbour taped to her door.
Jennifer posted the peculiar note on Reddit last week – with many calling the message creepy.
It read: “Hi what are you doing always after 11pm?”
The note was posted to the sub Reddit thread “Casual UK”, where Britons post about various topics.
Jennifer lives on the top floor of a flat block in West London, and usually prepares for her next day at work in the evening.
She said: “After 11pm I do nothing but walk around preparing my clothes for the following day, pack my bag and watch surgical videos.”
Jennifer is a trainee surgeon, so she often watches videos before bed to practice for work.
She posted the note on Casual UK and enquired on how to respond without “making things weird”.
Reddit users were quick to chime in on the issue, with many asking if she was noisy after 11pm.
One said: “If it’s a wooden floor, then there’s very little noise insulation.”
Another said: “I’ve lived in flats and thought it was well known that you can REALLY hear people walking about above you.”
Many users suggested buying area rugs to minimise noise in the evening.
Others commented how it was impossible to be completely quiet with wooden floors.
One user defended Jennifer: “You’re allowed to walk around in your flat.
“I think everyone who lives below someone thinks that they have the worst people above them but it’s completely notorious and unavoidable and they’ll just have to get over it.”
Last year it was discovered that more than a third of Brits believe their neighbour spies on them.
As many as 13 per cent of people have actually moved homes to escape their prying neighbours.
In 2018, a couple received a weird note from their neighbour asking them to stop walking around nude in their own home.
“Would you please close your blinds when getting dressed or undressing?
“We are sick of seeing big bum big boobs and little willy [sic] and we will report you both for indecent exposure.”
Couple Karin and Jay found the note amusing, albeit a bit invasive.
Karin said: “I’m considering putting a note over both my windows saying ‘stop looking!”
“Really it’s just a bit excessive – if they’d just knocked on my door and said there was an issue with privacy, that would have been fine.”
