In a typed letter, which was shared on Reddit’s “Trashy” forum, an anonymous scribe asked a neighbor to do everyone in the building “a favour and dump” her boyfriend.
“We don’t need to be woken up one more time at 2am because he can’t be an adult and hold his shit together,” it said. “Not one more time woken up by slamming doors, stomping feet and the worst part – hearing his whiny ass voice yell ‘what the fuck.”
Posting a photo of the note online, the recipient commented: “When your neighbors are exhausted of your fighting, it’s time to reflect on some things …” The note sparked a serious debate among fellow Redditers, racking up more than 1,300 comments in 24 hours. Many aired their concerns for the woman and her partner, with a number sharing their own experiences of toxic relationships.
“Yeah I’m all for telling someone they should dump their dickhead partner but don’t encourage domestic violence, with or without context assaulting a partner is never a good thing to applaud.”
But another defended the note’s creator, writing: “If it starts disturbing the neighborhood then it becomes everyone’s personal matter.”
Others wrote of hearing “fighting and screaming” and instances of abuse among their own neighbors. Another commented in response to the letter: “Why wait this long, call the police for public disturbance, 2am? Repeatedly? Fuck that, I have a life too. Get it resolved asap.”
