A Neighbor’s Open Door Turned the Hallway Into a Playroom—and One Resident Has Had Enough

Hey, let’s be honest…
Kids are great an all, but if you’re a person who doesn’t have children, there’s a time and a place when you want them around.
Like, for example, you probably wouldn’t want them outside your apartment door all day yelling and screaming.
Does that sound like you?
Because I know I wouldn’t enjoy that…not for one second!
The guy who wrote this story is having a seriously hard time dealing with his neighbor’s kiddos and he’s not sure what to do…
Check out what he had to say about this.
Opposite flat neighbour’s door constantly open, young kids playing in the corridor with barking dog every time you try to enter your flat.
“Honestly, I’m at a loss of what I can do.
It’s a couple and they have a crawling toddler and a young kid and they live in a one-bedroom flat with their dog opposite my door.
This is giving me a headache…
They started leaving their flat door open to get the air circulating during the heatwave but now they’ve turned the corridor into a playground.
Not only can I hear their whole life through the doors but also screaming crying kids, them shouting at them and sometimes the dog barking. Random times of the day and I can hear it in my flat.
Lots of toys scattered everywhere.
We have 2 more neighbours on our floor but they’re not in most of the time so unfortunately I’m alone in this. I tried to speak with my housing association but they straight up said there’s nothing they can do.
What are these parents doing?!?!
One Sunday morning the kid was sat in the corridor banging something metal on something and I came out and said something and there’s was no apology or remorse and just told the kid to go back in.
I’m just so frustrated now the atmosphere in my flat is just so bad because of the mood.
I don’t get how people can be this selfish.”
