The Neighbours

This big city is gruelling. Shift work. Bouncing flat to flat. Expensive. Strange people approaching you on your walk home. I thought after 2 years I finally found the nice flat. Great flatmate. Lovely area. A home. But.. fucking Awful nasty downstairs neighbours. Shirtless fat gruff man telling me my job is meaningless and his busy body cousin. They can hear every noise. And even banged down my door to tell me off for going to the loo at 2300'. I have no privacy. They heard my long distance boyfriend and I the one time in a year he's visited and she reminds it every time I see her "I might as well as been in bed with you"-. Death stares. Hogging the shared corridor. Hasn't even paid my flatmate for their shared insurance costs. It's like they hate young people.This dream flat now feels icky. I will try to keep 0700 to 22:30 quiet hours - easy to forget when you're a shift worker and your sleep is always fucked. But they are such nasty people, I don't feel like I want to. FUCK
