I've got this horrible neighbour upstairs who might possibly be the loudest person in the western hemisphere. Walking around in heels for hours at a time, phone rings so loud that it's more effective at waking me up than my alarm, constantly screeching furniture around all day everyday, blasting the same annoying movie at random times, and slamming doors every 15 minutes.

The apartment isn't even that bad for noise seperation, I never hear the neighbours beside me or the ones under me. This woman is just annoying and I've gone upstairs before to tell her to stop blasting music at midnight in the middle of the week, she treated me like I was the maniac for having the audacity to knock on her door.

As I'm laying in bed last night after getting woken up and hoping today is the day she drops dead, I was wondering why she even needs to close doors. When I lived alone I don't think I ever closed doors, maybe the bathroom on occasion but this old woman lives by herself with no pets yet she's constantly slamming doors. Do people normally close doors often when they live alone?

This is the most rational take by far. If the person you're working with is reasonable, this is my go-to.

Worth noting you need an ounce of charisma to make it work.

If they aren't reasonable though....yeah sometimes the only thing left to do is move.

Op says they also talked to the property owner and they aren't getting anywhere.
