Is it okay if I put this note into the mailbox of a very loud neighbour, or can I get into trouble for that?

  2. r/aberBitteLaminiert Is handling that.
    Seems like youre ready for your citizenship.

  3. Yeah welcome to Germany you have assimilated well. Why do people these days not just talk to each other like grown ups ?

  4. It‘s not okay to put this in their mailbox but putting this on reddit was definitely the right decision because it will make people laugh 😂😂

  5. Define trouble. It’s not illegal, but it’s also not the first step towards harmony in the neighborhood. 

  6. lol, this needs a a crosspost to r/aberbittelaminiert

    That is, make sure you laminate it, or else it won’t be valid

  7. Haha I love it, I hope your neighbours have a great humour 😂

  8. I think it’s somehow funny, but throwing it in the mailbox is really passiv aggressive. Just talk to them. In the long run it will be better for your relationship to them.

  10. I mean it’s kinda funny and very creative but I think it would be more effective to have a conversation with them. Stay friendly and respectful, ask them to keep it down a bit.

    Putting this in their mailbox could cause trouble because they might be even louder.

  11. damn thats a cute note, please deliver it. Can you guve us an update about their looks when you meet next time?

  12. lmao omg

    eta: tbh it’s a lot cuter and friendlier than a typical german passive aggressive note

  13. What happened to hello? How are you? My name is…?

    Jokes aside, old-school direct way of communication works way more effective. Most likely it’s your building problem and they don’t even do it on purpose and just live their lives…

  16. I would hang this masterpeace on my fridge and invite you over for a beer. 

  17. Have you already tried just talking to them? If not, do that first. If you have and they just haven’t paid any attention to your concerns, then go for it. Sure it’s passive-aggressive, but it’s not as much of an escalation as calling the police, and at least you’re addressing the situation with humour.

    In any case, thanks for posting it here, because it gave me a much-needed laugh. 😅

  18. 10/10 on drawings
    I’d laugh my butt off

    But I’m not German, so you need to sprinkle passive aggressiveness

  19. Please laminate this. Otherwise it isn’t valid.

    Of course you can’t get in trouble for it, because a real german would press charges/make an Anzeige.

  21. Would I get that, I would frame it and hang it close to the entrance door

  22. You are doing this wrong. Why haven’t you lawyered up yet? Threatening with court is the right way. Simultaneously tell your landlord you won’t pay the rent because of the noise.

  24. When I Had a similar neighbour upstairs, I’ve switch my WiFi Name To “Macht beim S*x die Fenster zu!”

    Took them under a week to get the message. 😂

    I regret it now in hindsight. They Made fun noises that Made for brilliant conversations.

  25. Haha this is awesome! Definately put it in the mailbox!! Will avoid an uncomfortable conversation for you both.. as someone with the same problem, however with no artistic talent + I’m all for it!!

  26. Proper comedy. I can tell this shit drove you insane to the point that you crafted, from an absolutely irritating invasive piece of sand, up to a polished fucking pearl. I love you!

  27. Love this! Very creative

    I personally got tormented by the last one for a year. I had to discuss it with another neighbour who told me to go right ahead and inform the lady upstairs.

    She felt so sorry and said I should have told her earlier.
    Now I’m never living downstairs again.

  29. Cute comic, but I’d save it for your personal journal.

    Have you tried playing horror movies really really loud?

  30. This definitely seems passive aggressive. I would prefer a short note over this drawing.

  31. That’s a passive aggressive masterpiece that definitely should be seen by the masses!

  32. Amazing. I love it. Are you sure they are tenants and not owners? You could anonymously send it to the Eignetümerversammlung.

  33. While it’s a cute note and I can totally relate from past experience I really don’t think it will help solve your problem. For one it’s only funny if you are not the recipient 😉 And also if you can hear your neighbors that well – not just their trampling but also their bed squeaking – you are living in some badly built place and only moving to somewhere better will help.

    Try earplugs to stay sane.

  34. Take it and put it on your door with some correction/info sticky notes.

    * “she is not on top – this would be even more squeaky”
    * “our sandbag shoes are at the cobbler”
    * “we never drop our favourite bowling ball, it’s just the kid but he is fine, i think”

  35. Actually I’d really appreciate being told that way if I was too loud. I’d instantly know it’s seriously important, why else would anyone else take time to draw it like that? Plus my neighbour is still nice about it and can joke about it. I’d talk to them the next day, apologise and maybe try to befriend them, as they seem like a kind and funny person to me.

    Aaaand who knows, maybe they’d care to be bowling together some time? 😅

  36. This is way too artful to convey the appropriate meanness 😊 You won’t get into trouble for that.

  37. “was darf Satiere? Alles.!” it is humorous with a hint to realism, good thing you posted it here first, i needed the laugh.

    I would say it is good way to the next step, that should be an eye to eye conversation.

  38. For the night activities, just ring the bell and ask if you (or both of you) can join in. Wearing a horse head and bringing your whips helps of course.

  39. I think we might share neighbors. That’s exactly what I hear daily. Plus some rearranging of the interior.

  40. Du könntest im Sommer auch am Abend dein Fenster öffnen und die beiden anfeuern beim “censored”. Ruf ihnen zu “Ja gib’s ihr. Ordentlich. ” untermauert mit Klatschen und Pfiffen. Vielleicht merken sie dann mal was.

  43. Send me a copy bitte for my wg Mitbewohnerin 🙌🏻😂

  45. Don’t forget to laminier it to make it official r/aberbittelaminiert

  46. You should hang it in the stairwell, so maybe everybody will be a bit quieter. Also, nobody should miss seeing this hilarious note!

  47. Congratulations you are now fully integrated in German society!
