Bringing this up since crazy neighbors and condo issues are becoming a trend on /k again.

New PRC neighbors just moved in next to me and they love keeping their living room door open and slamming their doors all the time, be it the front door, the bathroom door and bedroom door (they’re pretty light doors). I’ve caught them in the act as well, just swinging the door against the frame with a push.

Now I thought it was ignorance but after confronting them and asking them to close the doors gently since the doors were light, they stopped for a few days and continued their weird behavior again.

I had to deal with slamming doors for the past year at my condo and it’s usually foreigners who love to do this.

Is it ignorance, a lack of civic mindedness or they just don’t give a damn?

People's habit die hard, especially when it's not important to them.
Just be thankful that they're not stomping or blasting music, those lasts much longer.
Maybe one day when their door spoils and they have to pay for repairs, they might change their ways. Nothing teaches better than having to use personal funds to fix things.

MM2H?

Young or old man?

1. ninja break in
2. unscrew the doors.
3......

I’ve been asking Management to install a closer or fix the doors but they’re useless bastards.

Middle-aged man and middle-aged woman working in the KLCC area. Oh, and they like to keep their living room door open so the whole corridor can see what they’re doing. Apparently it’s quite common in China.

Biasalah all no need to work can slam doors, shouting, talking loud, constantly knocking something till 12am.

This is a pretty expensive condo too…guess shitty attitude is prevalent everywhere.

China people are known to be uncouth. So I would say it's attitude problem.
Unfortunately management and you can't do much since it's their home after all.
You're probably going to have to learn to live with it.

guess it's a social/cultural norm among PRCs

i've seen PRC hotel guests leaving their hotels doors open

i've seen it happening in Malaysia and also in a foreign country.

Probably inherit the habit from their shared communal living era (the failed great leap forward era) where everyone live together in the same building.

Speak very loudly some more

Kek encountered this in SG as well. Dont know why they like leaving their door open with just the grill shut

If it was some hot girl / milf then thats fine. But usually its some middle age couple

Yes, lived next to football team of banggala before, either u burn their hse down or move out

last time in sampeng, the triad there just watch porn while open door.
a pair of young kids watch and follow the doggie action

i stayed in china before so i can share some outlook on this.
they open the door so the airflow is better (yes there's a huge difference). security is not really a concern since there are always people in the house when they do that (very rare to have armed robbery, usually just small theft, and still be caught because there's cctv everywhere)
so yes, it's quite common.

most of the time they prefer natural airflow over aircond

as for door slamming, also yes. it's quite a norm. not like purposely slamming it hard, but just enough to let it close automatically. my place a bit more civilized so the door slamming doesnt occur that much.

try be passive aggressive about it by sending tukang installing dampener for free.

PRCs are really one kind

really jakun betul (though I understand that's not a P.C. term nowadays...)

because of the destruction and poverty caused by Communist rule, their concept of acceptable behaviour is completely out of whack with more civilised countries

(then again, don't be too harsh - Japs would think we're terribly barbaric as well)

nothing you can do I'm afraid, other than give constant reminders

PRC... biasala

brainless and uncivilized (not all, but at least 70% of them)

in msia , they even spit in condo lifts and common areas, just saw a PRC spitting in KLIA few months ago

this is their normal practice in their mainland... in genting, there are "no spitting" signboards just for PRC...

CCP brainwashed them to be loyal like a dog , and didn't educate them proper manners

they think they are the biggest top race/country who owns the whole world

now you know why civilized people/countries hate China and PRC

All

slam yo neighbour

Slamming door normal kot...my place you cant just close the door like that after you press the lock knob...everybody from upstairs till down will slam...below me there is one couple open their main door, can hear children screaming, mother scolding, their pet bird chirping...and their kids feet stomping when playing...every other neighbour also slam door...and those that didnt wd-40 their grill when open kreeeeeekkkkkk...bising sialll....but living here 5 years i guess i got used to it...

Above me got one makcik when walk causing earthquake, ...so loud the stomp...but i did talk to her nicely saying this is an old structure, gave recommendation to wear slipper or put carpet and she did. So lesser now during night time. When she play with her cat with the kunci i also can hear.

Overall living with dirty retard neighbors also an issue...feed cat at the bottom and put food infront her door...cat eat shit, pee infront everyone house...next door neighbor ikat rubbish by their front door and see rubbish water flowing out...always when they bring rubbish out from their house it will drip with all the marinated rotten food water..

one day i will just buy a land far away and build a house underground

One solution that kinda works is use the door rubber seal for cars, do it on all you door frame, use those blackout anti sound curtains and it kinda reduce those sounds. But door slamming and mortar poundings and bone chopping still cant dampen that sound.

PPR ke?
