Airline Attendants Complaint
I, unfortunately, live above a flight attendant's apartment. I was told it was dead quiet here - even when she was here. But, NOT. The few days that she is here a week, she feels I should go without sleep at all hours of the night while she crashes and bangs downstairs doing whoknowswhat. I still have not figured it out. The owner doesn't even want to deal with her. Please note - I know that her job is not easy but she chose it. And, it is not right in any realm for her to take out her anger on me. Last week, she screamed at me for 15 minutes in MY apartment because the owner suggested I leave a polite, short, kind note about the noise. I even mentioned in the note that if there was anything I could do to help her, to let me know. She was a crazy person. I thought I was going to have to call the police. Last night when she was here - as usual - there was a huge crash downstairs out of nowhere. It does get horribly nervewracking. I can feel her anger and I know it has to do with her life and not mine. I was not brought up to be like this so it is very difficult to deal with such outright rudeness. There were complaints about her before I moved in but the owner did not inform me of this. So, she thinks I am the only one who has "complained". I am not good at conflict at all and run away from it - and I may move again to deal with this. She told me to move or take sleeping pills and told me she wanted to never hear from me again and didn't need my help and on and on. I was so shell shocked, I didn't dare say anything and started crying in front of her. She is one hard bully in my opinion. If she doesn't like what she is doing, she should get out. It is obvious I fed her ego when I tried to turn the conversation to a positive note saying how lucky she was to have the job she does. She seemed to "puff up". Honestly, people, she is ruining my life here. I just heard another crash from downstairs and have no idea what is going on. This is a really nice place but I feel as though I am living in a ghetto with her behavior. Last week, before she harassed me, she turned up her stereo to full blast and then came over here and told me I would have to live with it. I spent the entire weekend in tears. The owner must have told here quiet hours of 12 AM to 8 AM - but how long will it last? I have tried everything and it has been five months of hell. It is beyond me why she would live in New England when her base is in North Carolina. Her excuse is that she has to watch over her son who is 21. It is beyond my understanding. Bottom line is the owner lied to me. However, she waits until he is gone to make the most noise. He gets nervous every time I email and ask for his help. Well, he will have to now. She told me to never leave her another note. And, I let him know everything in order to document what happened. I had and have every right to call the police and get a restraining order. She threatened me. If I had "given it back", I know she would have physically harmed me. I never knew that flight attendants were like this. I have been fortunate when I have flown to have decent service. However, I can say that it is a rare thing that I ever saw anyone smile. And, this woman who harassed me - she is 53 years old behaving as a 2 year old. I know I need to learn to deal with conflict but the behavior I am having to deal with is completely unacceptable. I am only flying Virgin from now on - Richard Branson only has the best and I am sure you don't experience bad flight service on his flights.
