Was anyone else 'sentenced' to door bangs by the government?

Whether it's garages, cars, or front doors, there hasn't been a single week, if not day in my life which was free of bangs, I'm so fed up. For all the reasons people suicide for, they never seem to mention society's noise, which builds up and destroys the mind really steadily...

Are you implying that the Government is behind a plot to slam doors just to annoy you?

I find the concept of this hilarious.

It must be difficult to have issues like this.

Paranoia and the belief that everyone is actively out to get you and collaborating towards that goal is a rather difficult issue to deal with.

No.

I've never lived in council accommodation even though my parents were under the poverty line when I was very little. We lived in a house that the landlord charged more rent for & did less maintenance on than the government would.

I've lived in flats once which were like this if you were paranoid enough to think it was deliberate. I knew one neighbour who made it deliberate. He wasn't very nice and was drunk all the time. Even then, it was his fault, not the government hatching a plot.

I feel bad for you that you can't move anywhere else but it's not a plot.

You need to talk to a therapist about this feeling or your GP. It's not based in reality. It's taking slight facts from reality (you have noise sensitivity, live in a council flat and have noisy neighbours) and creating the worst possible outcome (government deliberately put you in the noisiest place and neighbours slam doors on purpose).

I never said it was intentional... people just couldn't give a s**t about anyone else and if they can save a second by banging doors they'll do it, and apparently there's many people who want to save seconds... I only mentioned 'sentenced' because of the forced move (which, as it happens, was due to retaliation back at the other place to other noise issues, but clearly they couldn't give a damn about it and they're just hoping they can 'punish' me enough through random moves until I stop retaliating, but if a noise is destroying my mind the least I could do is throw bottles at it (though this doesn't work for bangs as it's not a continuous noise)).

Have you tried listening to music to drown out the unpleasant noise?

In my case?
More likely the other way around.



It reminded me of a memory:
There was a time I had an errand to go to some auditor's office...

I end up knocking too loud.
It took them a while to answer, but little did I know...

Occupants in the office had a mini attack.
With officemates rushing and hushing.
And one of them is armed, with a gun under his table.

They thought it was some corrupt with a death threat.
Nope! It's just an errand girl who knocks too loud. :lol:

Next few visits later, they replaced the wooden brown door with a glass and metal door so they can see who's looking for them.
And that I don't have to knock. :oops: :lol:

It was a real problem for me when I lived in terraced houses in poorer areas, for which successive governments are responsible for building and neglecting. It's been much better since I moved to a nicer area where people tend to be more considerate. I don't believe humans were ever meant to live so close to strangers in such cramped conditions as you see in cities. It's a failure of town planning and the system in general and it has to impact on people's mental health.

I trained myself to become oblivious to door slamming, the same as I trained myself to become oblivious the the tinnitus ringing in my ears. It's not really the sound that's the problem, the problem is that it triggers the fight or flight response.

Exactly. It's called habituation. Used to be when a door suddenly slammed I wanted to put my fist through a wall. Now it doesn't really register.

Same.

And my neighbour is really horrible about it.

It's an expensive area. She's a home owner. She's retired. Noise constantly 'bothers' her. She should go to a cheaper area and buy a detached house.

Instead, she chooses to make enemies out of every single next door neighbour she ever had.

I have a bit of sympathy for people who live in council flats or who are like me & renting/living at home and who are noise sensitive. But still, there's no point in anger over things that can't be helped.

The very least she should do is go move somewhere where dogs are banned cos my mum's dog occasionally barks and she thinks that's 'noise pollution' :roll:

With my neighbour I found that she is quiet about it if she knows that she can't bully the other person into shutting up and not existing. Which is how walking on eggshells tiptoeing around her feels.
