Neighbours are a punishment. At least the kind of neighbour I have now. I am hoping to be let off a good deal of Purgatory after I die, on her account.
After experiencing college dorm life, I completely sympathize with you. My last neighbor was a young woman with a very active "social" life, which she made quite obvious, no notion of appropriate indoor volume (she would open her door shout across the hallway), and a smoker with a chronic, wheezing cough. It made literal obedience to "love thy neighbor" extremely difficult.*
*Ironically, the other neighbor was a delight. She was a soft-spoken Buddhist whose boyfriend practically lived with her (though it was prohibited), and I rarely heard a peep from either of them.
