So there's this woman by the name of Nicky, who has lived in my block since I was a child and lately her disgusting smoker's cough has become absolutely insufferable. I have to listen to it several times per day and it's just vile. She sounds like she's on the verge of hurling every time she coughs, you'd think she was about 90 years old the way she sounds. She lives in my block but in a different part of the building yet I can still hear it very clearly as if she was in the next room. I don't want to be a c*nt but it's getting to the point where I'm considering making a complaint. If I'm reading or even watching TV, the last thing I want to hear is this animal spluttering like she's just escaped a fire. Sometimes I'll even hear it 3 in the morning. Is making a complaint my only option? Would that even help? It's obviously something that she cannot control but god damn, it's deeply unpleasant. I wish she would move away or  ing die a bit more quietly. Anyone had a similar issue to this? |

I feel for you, man.
I've had a number of neighbors over the years who have their share of annoying habits. One group of guys would blast (what sounded like) Spanish polka music really loud every Saturday & Sunday from 4PM to midnight. More than one tenant must have complained because they were gone within a year.
Another upstairs neighbor had a 2 year old kid who would run from one side of their hardwood floor apartment to the other. And every other weekend when the kid's father had him, the mother would invite her boyfriend over & rouse all the neighbors with her porn star noises.
The new people upstairs have a kid who likes to dribble basketballs any hour of the day.
But I guess I'm to blame as well. Apparently (and I never knew this), I snore like a chainsaw.
I wish you luck in your situation, though.

Don't think complaining will really help you. I'm sure she can't control how violent her coughing is. Sucks you have to deal with it, but doesn't sound like it'll be easily fixed.

If I had my way we would all live in detached houses so we dont have to put up with neighbors. Their a pain in the ass, mine are really noisy they cant close a door without slamming it, they cant talk without shouting. Terraced houses suck and so do paper thin walls. If its not the humanoids making noise its the damn dogs they leave out in the garden and never think of walking so they just bark all day. Im just a quiet dude who enjoys my silence but its nearly impossible in todays world.
Im going to move out, take my figures and live in a shack in the wild one of these days. Little house on the prairie.

Oh my god yes. I use to work at a 411 operator (do they still even have them??) and it was a great job. You'd be VERY surprised to know that a lot of them were really hot young girls and you'd also be surprised at what happens during the overnights! But that's another story for another time. Of course, many were the overweight, older ladies and there was one, I forgot her name, but she was a hardcore smoker and she would just non-stop be hacking away. It was gross! It sounded just like you said, that she was about to throw up. It made everyone else sick just hearing about it. I don't know what ever happened to her, she's probably dead now since that was 20 years ago, HOLY CRAP! 20 YEARS AGO!! Anyway, I transferred to another place.
It sounded just like this. GROSS!

I feel bad for you. That doesn't sound pleasant at all.. Smokers are just in general nasty.  |

Your best bet is moving far away from her.

You can't really call this a noise complaint since it's a health issue. The only time a health issue warrants a complaint is when a foul odor is involved.
So, you'll have to deal with it.

I think you have the right to complain. She should ing stop smoking. |

Oh my god. I hope some of you never develop health issues. Someone might think you're disgusting and complain.

Im sure if you make a complaint, the police will go to her house and order her to stop coughing.

Glad I live in the country. I don't understand why people wouldn't want to live in the country. |

I definitely agree that I hate the smoker's hack, especially when it is 100% preventable.
However, remember this, we never see ourselves as the bad guys. If you complain, maybe something you don't even realize you're doing is a problem to them. And then they try to dip your ass in hot water. I always keep this in mind when I deliberate tattling on neighbors. It has given me pause and flat our stopped me many a time.
