Man receives savage note from his neighbour – but it’s his brilliant response that has people really gasping
A MAN has been praised for his ‘legendary’ response to a neighbour’s complaint that he’s too nosy – but there’s one line in particular that has people cracking up.
Shell took to TikTok to share the hilarious interaction between her brother and his neighbour, sparked by a note suggesting her brother was walking too heavily.
But it’s his joke about being unable to float around his apartment that the public are finding hilarious.
Known online as @shellrowe, the content creator regularly shares life updates and entertaining stories with her 770,300 followers.
In a new reel, she said: “I have tears.
“My brother has just been sent a letter by his neighbour, complaining.”
During the one-minute video, Shell first shares the typed-up note her brother received through his door, suggesting that he has been causing too much noise when at home.
It read: “Dear neighbour.
“Please be kind and respect your neighbour room below with your noise. I’m been living here almost a year and I’m always hearing your foot stepping all the times day and night.
“I have enough with this noises all the time. I never report about this and I want you to be kind to us as well. Otherwise, I have to report it.
“Just be kind to walk quietly.
“Sincerly, Flat 19.”
However, it was her brother’s hilarious response that shocked both Shell and others on TikTok, with some even labelling the man a ‘legend’.
His letter read: “Dearest neighbour in flat 19, (Karen).
“Thank you very much for your note.
“Unfortunately, despite several years of hardcore meditation, a very strict diet and many years of patience, I have not yet grasped the ability to fly/float around my apartment.
“Due to this, I have had to walk as the default method of transportation around my premises – I am curious as to what you would have me do otherwise.”
He continued: “I am also curious as to why you have chosen to move into an apartment building with neighbours directly living above and below you if potentially hearing another person’s footsteps was going to be such an issue.
“Furthermore, I’m also not certain as to how you thought you were going to live here for an entire year without the slightest ‘disturbance’.
“I’m also willing to place a wager that if you are this hyper-sensitive to the sound of footsteps, then sure;y the neighbours living below your apartment can also hear your footsteps too.
“Regards, an actual adult.”
The exchange attracted plenty of attention online, with the video gaining more than 145,400 likes and 1.1 million views.
In the comments, TikTokkers shared their reactions, with one writing: “‘An actual adult’ more like an actual legend.”
“That’s amazing,” commented another.
Shell replied: “The floating has me finished.”
A third added: “THE RESPONSE I AM DEAD HE IS HILARIOUS.”
Someone else suggested: “This is iconic… tell him to print off a screenshot of Amazon favourites noise cancelling headphones post it through their door, problem solved.”
