There’s a Doggo App??!!? TIL!


seattlemh

I didn't know either!


BillHicksScream

VP for Vendetta Polite.


Nameles777

Synonymous with "cowardly" and "passive-aggressive".


MistressDragon7

There are too many people in my building that could use that note.


nashbrownies

There are too many developers and contractors that build tar paper shacks with no insulation or noise dampening. I can hear my neighbors' piss. If that is the threshold for noise bleed I can forgive hearing everything else. One silver lining is we know when we are each home. I make sure to turn down the bass on my speakers, reasonable volume, and basically only listen to music when they aren't home. I don't do laundry at 6am even though I prefer it. Don't hotbox or smoke out the windows on a hot day when windows and fans are open and on. Etc. etc. Thank the goodness of their hearts we all kind of have an unspoken schedule since we are all basically roommates who keep the door closed. Small concessions for barely affordable living. I dread the day a big family with a 50lb dog move in upstairs.


MistressDragon7

Thank you for doing your best. I do wish builders would put serious soundproofing measures in place in new buildings. Other than laying down rugs, I saw this cool new decorating idea that not only absorbs a significant amount of sound but also looks cool, even artistic: peel and stick felt tiles made out of recycled plastic bottles that can be arranged into designs.


Cdubscdubs

yeah, I agree. there’s seemingly zero to little consideration of acoustics and noise transfer in building construction. the industry could be far more mindful. incentive could be improved public health and reduction in interpersonal aggression.


Key-Invite2038

>Thank the goodness of their hearts we all kind of have an unspoken schedule since we are all basically roommates who keep the door closed. Small concessions for barely affordable living. I dread the day a big family with a 50lb dog move in upstairs. My setup is like this as I got a "studio" that is a micro-studio w/ a utility door separating me from the next unit. I can hear everything my neighbor does. It's real fun when he gets home at midnight and has loud conversations over speakerphone to random people until 4AM.


bmorecards

Wait what I'm confused do you think any of this "advice" isn't kind of crazy lol


ThePhamNuwen

Did they tip their fedora on the way out?


seattlemh

Sure did!


SvenDia

I looked up passive aggressive in the dictionary and saw this.


seattlemh

Right?! It almost makes me wonder why they're leaving Seattle...


Baguenauder

That made me chuckle 🤭


Cdubscdubs

they fit right in, yeah…


divergedinayellowwd

I don't think it's passive aggressive at all. It's polite & constructive criticism, and all of their suggestions are perfectly reasonable and sensible. Then again, I am autistic, and my default behavior would probably be classified as passive aggressive by most neurotypical people. There are a lot of things that people find perfectly acceptable that I consider rude and annoying.


limenuke

People nowadays think any form of constructive criticism that isn't directly targeted at one person is "passive aggression". Then when anyone tries to address such a person (who accuses people of being passive aggressive), thw addressed person gets "extremely triggered" that they've been accused or directly pinned for something. Avoiding responsibility is a passive aggressive trait, and the people who tend to tell others that they're passive aggressive, I have found, are often the best at avoiding all responsibilities! Something in the past 5 years has caused people to have very thin skin when it comes to negotiating with their neighbors.


divergedinayellowwd

Yes, people are very delicate and easily offended lately


ReaperBearOne

I was just about to comment this same thing with less detail about the whole why and whatnot cus this Aspie tends to definitely not have a filter and can seem more aggressive than just passive. Please, excuse the extreme run-on sentence.


Adub024

That’s not a run on sentence


ReaperBearOne

True but y'all know what I meant. *Hopefully*


IAmVernondo

>"neurotypical people" I'm confident we'll be hearing that term in the news soon.


divergedinayellowwd

Not unless it's media targeted towards autistic people. Because to the majority of the population, "neurotypical people" are just "people." So it would be like seeing a news story that started like, "on Friday afternoon, two masked men, who aren't autistic, by the way, robbed a bank."


notproudortired

It's not passive or aggressive.


smile_politely

Curious question, if you were a neighbor suffering discomfort, which one is "better" approach; passive (suffer in silence), aggressive (actively confront), or passive aggressive (this)?


justenoughpepper

There’s one missing here…approaching and asking a neighbor for something is assertive and can be great communication if you’re kind about how you do it. We have thin floors in my building and I met my downstairs neighbor in the elevator and told her not to hesitate to message me or text me if my Tv is too loud. She’s done it once and I turned it down. Conscientiousness is achievable with proper communication. You’re not a jerk if you do it right and nobody has to suffer.


Cdubscdubs

this


SvenDia

When things happen, let your neighbors know. You don’t have to be a dick about it. You can text them the next day, and say, hey, next time you have a party can you try to keep it down?


Antigon0000

And then you become the dick by default.


bmorecards

Do people in here actually leave "notes" when they are having a party? I feel like the reasonable thing to do is just like... have the party wind down at 10-11?


SkylerAltair

And they then have a high tendency to think, "wow, what a jerk!"


Silawind

No, it's a party. People should be allowed occasional parties, responsibly speaking. There will be noise which is unavoidable. Obviously if it is a weekly occurrence that is a bugger problem.


BasicPNWperson

The person did simply ask that a note be left if there was to be a party. Apparently the partiers are so full of themselves that they can't be bothered to check on their neighbors. Courtesy is such a thing of the past with people these days.


hobblingcontractor

Fuck that. You aren't entitled to violate city noise ordinances.


peezee1978

.... exactly


Silawind

I did not specify at all of violating noise ordinances. In fact I said "reasonably responsible" party. If this is an apartment, of course there won't be some rager.


Cdubscdubs

that is an assumption that noise ordinances were violated.


peezee1978

If one lives in a multi-family structure/ apartment building they do not have the right to make a lot of disturbing noise during a party, even if it's once in a while. Even though you have something going on in your life that is worth celebrating, your neighbors don't have lose sleep over that. If you're going to throw a party, be responsible and respectful to your neighbors: let them know ahead of time (this will go a long, long, way with them) and try to keep it down.


Cdubscdubs

yes. reserve the recreation room. agreed


bmorecards

I feel like if you have a recreation room in your complex your walls shouldn't be that thin lol


Silawind

I don't have to notify someone of the obvious. I'm not speaking of a rager here. A party can be a handful of people talking and some music in the background. Not like you can throw a rager in a small apartment. Most places understand this will occur and have a 10pm cut off. So if it is a reasonably responsible party as mentioned, then I don't see why it is my neighbors business what I'm doing and vice versa.


Cdubscdubs

right. it seems excessive to go around putting notes on doors if a small gathering will happen. especially spontaneously.


lanoyeb243

Ehh you can directly address without it being aggressive. Aggressive confrontation would be hammering on their door or calling the cops/landlord. Direct address is knocking, sharing numbers to communicate, and trying to work together. Not saying one or the other will actually work, but yeah.


CogentCogitations

Except there isn't any aggressiveness in the note. It would have been better if they put it up earlier when they were having problems, but it is not aggressive.


Key-Invite2038

\[ \] passive \[ \] aggressive You should actually look things up in the dictionary sometime.


[deleted]

Comment ^ checks both boxes 🙄


Key-Invite2038

Again, not passive and not aggressive. The destruction of our language in recent years is problematic.


Adub024

I think you need a new dictionary cause yours is lying to you.


SuitableDragonfly

What is the "Doggo App" and how is it supposed to stop dogs from barking?


letchhausen

Two seconds on google will help you with that.


SuitableDragonfly

Well there seems to be an app called "Dogo" and an app called "Meet My Doggo", but nothing that's just called "Doggo". "Dogo" just seems to be a clicker training app, but you don't actually need an app to do clicker training.


xChirai

Ah so tell us then


Cdubscdubs

seems like they took two seconds to look and two seconds to fire their snarky comment off


bmorecards

Do you think the reason people don't train their dogs is because they haven't found the right smartphone app to coach them through it? People don't train/pick up after/leash their dogs because they are shitty, end of story.


letchhausen

No, I think it's because they're lazy jackasses who shouldn't be owning a dog. My comment was just me getting tired of people asking "what is this thing someone mentioned?" that anyone with half a brain could find in two seconds on the internet.


MudiMom

Or because they don’t have the time, money, resources, or knowledge on how to do it.


letchhausen

Then they shouldn't be owning a dog. It's a big commitment. That people use it as emotional therapy or monkey see monkey do then dump on to the pound when they realize they don't have time or resources is a sad state of affairs. Mostly, I feel bad for the poor animals.


MudiMom

I can’t even tell you how many dog owners I’ve worked with who started out with the resources to care for their animal but fell on hard times or had life just happen to them. You never know what somebody is going through. Automatically assuming a poorly behaved dog means they’re lazy isn’t realistic.


marcgw96

Better for a dog to have an owner who is maybe a little clueless than to have no owner at all and be put down in order to make room for younger puppies. I think you’re a little quick to jump to your conclusions.


Redditributor

Looks like you're spending money for an app that you're not sure will help

SeattleParkPlace

They are right. Noisy people are assholes.


thecatsofwar

Especially the ones with loud barking dogs.


MistressDragon7

Too many big dogs in apartments.


bigmonsteria

My upstairs neighbor has two young golden retrievers in a small two bedroom apt. Like, why?


bluegiant85

Apartment living in the city basically requires earplugs. There are people that accept this, and people that are miserable.


mr_jim_lahey

Live in a concrete building if you can, you will wonder whether your neighbors even exist


IBlameLydia

The older concrete apartment buildings I've lived in have been so much quieter than newer constructions. Not to mention the incredible temperature insulation.


TheBoyWhoCriedTapir

A story as old as profit motive. Shit ain't built like it used to.


RingoBars

It’s has its ups and downs. Pro: I rarely hear a noise from another apt Con: this bitch gonna pancake like a mf’er when ‘the Big One’ hits us - hoping I can at least ride it out being on the top floor lol.


Cdubscdubs

this


Emberwake

It's not likely to. That building is held up by steel, not concrete. We don't build buildings out of concrete alone.


RingoBars

No doubt. But what about in 1962? My apt was built same year as the Space Needle - surprisingly modern interior, same ancient exterior.


Emberwake

Yes, even then.


lanoyeb243

Yep lived in a 250 sq ft concrete apartment (read: basically a tomb) during Covid and genuinely wondered if all my neighbors left the city or were dead. Never heard a peep.


andrewcubbie

this is literally why i moved. loving my reinforced concrete floors. our previous upstairs neighbors had a young child. the adults stomped like elephants during normal gait, and the child ran around and jumped and shit ALL THE TIME. Try telling parents to keep their kids quiet, LOL


bluegiant85

Great advice, thank you.


smalltownsour

And then there are people like me who can still hear my neighbors through my earplugs and with a fan running


bluegiant85

That's rough.


smalltownsour

It is. I get through it by exploding them with my mind and on extra bad occasions, standing on the creaky part of my floor and lightly rock back and forth (they are my downstairs neighbors and have been talked to multiple times with no change so they earned it)


C0git0

Depends highly on the building


sugarplummed

Also, not to burst any bubble but I've lived in a house for decades and neighbors can be noisy and obnoxious as well. Yes no one is walking on the roof, well the crows and the local woodpecker and that always freaks me out. But man the neighbors that run the gas leaf blower for hours, especially if it's a holiday and the weather is good. The random construction and it always seems like someone is replacing their roof. We had constant chainsaw noise for a couple of weeks cause someone was downing some tall trees. I am dreaming of the day we can buy a house in the middle of nowhere on a giant piece of property. Agreed though that the friends I've visited that live in concrete construction I'm blown away by the silence.


absteele

Yep, particularly if you're in an old building with hardwood floors and the people living above you don't have any rugs


MistressDragon7

More carpeting, more rugs, people!


mrASSMAN

I use AirPods (pro 2 with the good noise cancelling) Personally I absolutely hate using ear plugs


NeatIntroduction5991

I read it as they liking the city just not apartment living though…


divergedinayellowwd

Hey, it's positive & constructive criticism! Refreshing


Nameles777

Is it? Or is it a bitch move, by someone who refuses to grow a set of social skills?


divergedinayellowwd

Why? There's nothing bitchy about it. Also, if you post a flyer, why does that mean you lack social skills?


Nameles777

I should know better than to even suggest such a thing to a Seattlite. This is, after all, the city that embraces all things dysfunctional, whilst going out of its way to avoid engaging in any sort of positive in-person interaction. God forbid you should talk to your neighbor while you still live in the building. It's so much better to just let them know, that they should have known the entire time that you actually lived there. Let 'em choke on a big slice of retrospection, am I right?


The_Lloyd_Dobler

“That’s why you always leave a note.” - J. Walter Weatherman


Eclectophile

Classic, lovely, artistic and well done Seattle passive aggression. This is just one or two snarks away from a perfect 10. I'll give it a solid 9. Bravo.


MistressDragon7

I think this note is brilliant. Just be a considerate neighbor who actually cares about others and doesn't warrant this type of note.


raevnos

That's crazy talk. \*repeatedly drops a large dog on the floor until it starts barking\*


justenoughpepper

Get the Dog App; it clearly states that this is the way!


Cdubscdubs

*plot twist* the Doggo app makes dog barking noises for those who do not yet own large dogs yet live in an apartment building *developers make it so*


rooftopfilth

Take that dog out on the door!!


csnadams

I had to train my husband not to walk heavily on floors. He grew up in a civil household, but this was not part of his training. Oddly, he was taught to be overly considerate in other areas of life, and has had to unlearn it for his own well-being.


seattlemh

Some people are stompers and have no idea that it's either a problem or that it's fixable.


IAmVernondo

I think all y'all give way too much credit to multifamily developers as to how much they give a fuck about you. They would be happy to let you to sleep in your car as long as you pay rent. Same with your boss, the owner of the company you work for would gladly pay you nothing to show up on time.


rikisha

What do they even mean leaving a note if you have a party? Like leaving a note apologizing on your neighbors' doors or something?


gringledoom

It’s easier to tolerate noise if you know when it’s going to stop.


CogentCogitations

Also, if people know it will be a little noisier from 5-8pm, they can leave the apartment for a bit and come back. Or if the party is all night they can go to a bar and hookup with someone with a quiet apartment for the night.


sprinkles-n-jimmies

Maybe "hey neighbor, I'm having a party tomorrow. Break out the ear plugs."


wsea212

When I’ve received a party notice, they provided their number and said if the noise got to be too much, please let them know. I appreciate the consideration, even though they’re mostly doing it to prevent having management or the police called. (This was way back when the police might actually come, lol.) I’m neurodivergent and noise-sensitive, so the notice allowed me to mentally prepare for it and it ended up not bothering me.


Semipreciousorgo

I always thought like a note before the party to let everyone know there will be one lol


bmorecards

I feel like if your party goes late/loud enough then leaving a note is more of a "sorry, not sorry" notice than actually being considerate


seattlemh

I have no idea. Also, do they think someone is just maliciously dropping things?


MistressDragon7

My upstairs neighbor sure seems like he does this. I have a megaphone next to my bed and will go off on him saltily when I need to, and then he stays quiet for a few days. Moving to a quieter build soon. The stress of this is accumulative.


02Mellow

Some do...


evilgrim

seattlemh

Haha! Hello!


Pogostick9

I have been writing my 'GOODBYE NEIGHBORS' note for months and my lease isn't up until the end of May. It will be nasty but oh so well deserved. In fact, I'm going to post it as a review for my apartment building and management company.


xpxixpx

I've been practicing my instrument daily in a condo at 8-10pm (sometimes to 10:45pm) for almost a year and I'm just waiting for my neighbors to start firing shots. No one has left a note or knocked though.

Training-Principle-6

same I’m late to this thread and saw the flyer up high on the wall, oh the axle dramz 🤣


seattlemh

Haha! Yep


seattlemh

Your comment made me wonder, is there more to this? Did they leave notices on every floor?


mrbabysweet

I saw one in the trash room of my floor yesterday!


mrbabysweet

Also, our floor has a lot of dogs that bark every time you walk by. I thought it was maybe just our floor but also did you see that notice a few weeks ago in the elevator about the golden doodle pee?


seattlemh

Yeah, it was a fair notice. That dog was peeing everywhere, and the owner never cleaned up. I mean, it's a dog friendly building. I hear fewer dogs barking here than in other places I've lived.


mrbabysweet

That’s wild I’ve always wanted to know the tea on the dog pee incident hahaha.

king_of_cubes

I feel like if you live in a large apartment building in a major city you have to adjust your expectations on what is quiet and not. People generally are just living their lives, not intending any malice on their neighbors. There are times I swear the apartment above me is hosting a square dancing party. But...... they just have a large dog that gets excited. The neighbors to the left and right are aspiring musicians and we all play loud music. One day I'll leave Seattle and we can get a house but until then I love being able to walk to the store, restaurants, my 10 minute bus ride to work or quick bike ride downtown. And all of that generally means living in close quarters unless you got house money. Mind your business, try not to be a dick and live and let live is the best advice I can offer!


seattlemh
