I live in an apartment block and directly above my bedroom lives a teenager.
My bedroom has 2 windows; one of them is next to my bed.
6 months ago I was sleeping with the window open, when I woke up to some weird noise as if someone above me was puking, there was “water” coming down hitting my window sill. There was also a gross smell, like some alcohol mixed with apples.
I have a history with this kid; he used to throw his school sandwiches from his window. Some of them got stuck on my window sill. I told his parents (the neighbors above) and the sandwiches stopped.
Long story short, knowing this kid and his window=garbage bin behavior I realized he probably came home late from a party and didn’t want to wake his parents so he puked outside from the window.
I woke up the next day, cleaned the window and let it go thinking it was a onetime thing.
Yesterday it happened again, this time my window was closed. Today I went to tell his parents and they promised me it won’t happen again.
Now where is the problem?
After the first incident 6 months ago I developed this fear, I can’t sleep with the window next to my bed open. It’s always closed. (I use the other window).
It’s like a phobia I can’t explain; when I’m in my bedroom I always fear that something will hit the window from above. Every noise outside freaks me a little.
When he was throwing sandwiches I didn’t care one bit but the puking freaks me out, maybe because it’s more personal or just gross.
I realized it might be an evolution thing, my bedroom that is supposed to be the most secure place on earth is not safe anymore and my brain is freaking out.
Maybe my brain is seeing it as if I’m sleeping at night and a stranger enters my bedroom, the fear mechanism is triggered, the bedroom is not safe anymore.
So my question is what should I do if it happens again, should I talk to his parents again or something else? I’m pretty freaked out at the possibility of it happening again, the smell, having to clean it again, and the mental trauma, I can’t use this window.
I was thinking about going full Heisenberg; fill a bucket of water with mud, throw it on their family car and put a threatening note on the windshield. Maybe it’s too much, what do you think?
I’m not trolling, I’m dead serious.
