[quote=Anonymous]I feel like you should be able to flush the toilet whenever you need to.  That part of the request is unreasonable.

I do feel like laundry is something you can realistically wait to do - there's no reason to run the wash at 11:00 if you know it bugs your neighbors.  I think it's fair to ask that in general, you try not to shower after hours if you know the noise bothers people.  When you live in shared housing, there are certain things you need to do to keep the people around you happy.

I had a roommate for awhile who would come in very, very late from work and go in and out of her room and the bathroom, shutting the door loudly each time.  One night I counted 19 door slams in a 30-minute period.  Between that and the late night frying in oil without using the exhaust fan (so I'd wake up to what smelled like the house burning down), plus a bunch of other reasons, she didn't live with me for long.

I had renter neighbors who made all kinds of random noise at night, including hammering something into the wall next to my bed at 2:00 a.m.  I'm sorry, but really?  Who the F hammers into a shared wall at 2:00 a.m.?[/quote]
