They aired ‘What lies beneath’ last night, starring Michelle Pfeifer and Harrison Ford. I watched most of it before sleeping and guess what?
In the middle of the night I heard our upstairs neighbours fighting, I heard a woman screaming and yelling in their own language and a male voice saying stuff and they seemed to be jumping around their whole appartment as I heard bonking noices from my ceiling on different parts.
First I thought it was a dream because of that movie I watched before sleeping. But it kept going and when I fully woke up, they really were arguing upstairs, big time! Huge yelling and screaming noices!
What a coincidence, I see that stupid movie and the next thing I know, upstairs they’re arguing. How odd is that?Maybe they watched that movie too and got inspired by it. 
No, seriously, it’s not funny actually.
It stopped after a while and I went finally back to sleep. Then their annoying noices woke me up again about five in the morning. I was just having a nice dream that I fitted back in my old clothes and I was happily telling my children who were dressed like clowns when the screams woke me up. This time it was even worse! More female screaming and booms and bonk noices coming down and more male voices sounding more harsh.
I told the police on them. Then after a while it was silent again. Guess the police must have called them and asked them to keep quiet. I sure hope they didn’t tell them it was me, I don’t feel like having a fight with neighbours!
What a night. I kept wondering wether or not I should call the police. I want to stay out of such things. On the other hand, if you see something bad happening it’s more or less your duty to do something at least, or not?
What’s your take? What would you have done? I almost felt like going upstairs and ringing their door bell and do… what? Who the hell am I to say anything and what if they hit me too in their anger? So as a coward I stayed inside listening to all those noices until they finally stopped.
Would you have gone upstairs? Would you have told on them? Or is it better to do nothing at all? I don’t have the energy for other people right now. Even if Idid, I don’t feel like getting involved in this stuff.
Was my behaviour chicken and selfish? How would you have handled it?
I don’t think so. It sounded more like someone being beaten or something. And the yells were crying yells. Everyone in the flat heard them.
