Odd Behaviors
I have a new apartment neighbor who moved in about four months ago. I share a bathroom wall with them and almost every time I turn on my shower and am in it for a minute or so, they turn theirs on. This immediately makes my water colder and the pressure goes way down (this building is super old).
But this is even creepier than it first seems. I don’t take a shower at the same time every day. I work from home, so some days it’ll be 10 am or 6 pm or 11 pm, etc. But if they are home, they do this every time. I have started to turn on my shower and not get in and just let it run and listen.
Sure enough, they turn theirs on too. The walls are thin so you can hear when someone has their shower on. They usually run theirs until right after I turn mine off. This happens even if they have already showered that day.
The only time this doesn’t happen is when they’re not home or if it’s really late, like 2 am, and they’re asleep. Just wanted to vent because it is such odd behavior to me, and seriously ruins every shower I try to take.
I usually take under 10-minute showers so I’m not being excessive or anything that would annoy them. People are so weird and it drives me crazy.
