Mr nature,
I have to spell bad news for you. Your situation is not good. If
you don't get along with co-workers or friends, you can easily
avoid them but if you have bad conflict with neighbours, it can be
very bad, because you see them everyday !
I hope you spoke politely to your upstair neighbour. However,
judging from their reaction, I think you scolded them? I understand
your frustration but if you don't use diplomacy on your neighbour,
if you make them hate you, it can get very messy.
At least if you spoke politely to them, tell them not to play
ball, if they don't listen, it happen again, they don't take you as
a threat. But now, they are angry, I am afraid that your upstair
neighbour may try to take revenge. My cousin once have problem like
you, after he got into argument with neighbour and tried HDB and
police, the neighbour purposely cause more trouble to provoke him
by making even more noise upstair. So be ready, if your neighbour
is hot temper only - ok, but if they are revengeful - you may have
to tolerate this.
Also you effectively involve your parents into the conflict. Did
you ask them for permission before you lodge complain or spoke to
the neighbour?
PS: YOU better stock up on bamboo brooms. You may get ball noise
or upstair noise attack like 2 am. So you better be ready for
retaliation. If your parents stay at home during day, ask them to
use bamboo attack !
You don't sound like you have any nasty encounters with
neighbours. However polite or diplomatic people are to
nasty neighbours, they don't give a damn la. Most make even
more noise after the polite and diplomatic treatment.
Wake up !!!!!!!!
You are contradicting yourself in your reply to TS.
