Neighbors should think twice before calling the police over noise complaints.

The following story involves a woman who was asleep upstairs when her neighbors accused her of banging on the ceiling.

Despite being the one constantly disturbed by their noise and behavior, she was the one questioned by the police.

Read the full story below for all the details.

Neighbors called the cops on me while I was sleeping

My neighbors called the cops on me for “banging on the ceiling.”

Funny enough, I live upstairs. I was asleep when the cop came to my door.

They bang on the ceiling at all hours of the day. They smoke endless amounts of weed.

They also use who knows what other substances.

This woman got woken up by the cops.

A cop showed up at my door at 11:45 p.m.

They woke me up. They asked if I was banging on the ceiling.

I explained no. I had been asleep since 9 p.m.

The cop told my neighbor that these types of issues were not handled by the police.

She said to take it up with the leasing office.

Now, she’s clueless about what to do with her neighbors.

They rent. I own. There is no leasing office.

What would you do in this situation? I am tired of being harassed.

For them to call the cops on me is absurd.

They said I was banging on the ceiling. They are the ones who are doing the banging.
