My friend had to get up early (reason she’s staying over is so she didn’t have to get up even earlier to get to her work thing in South Yarra) and we stayed up until like 2:30 chatting. I feel for my neighbours because she doesn’t have an “night time apartment” speaking volume lo

Don't want to be rude here, but like... you feel bad ok great, what are you doing to prevent this situation that's 100% in your control? Sorry if that's offensive, but put yourself in your neighbors shoes. You'd be pissed at you.

I was very aware of it and tried a few things to mitigate it but she's not used to having to regulate her volume so she'd ramp up when she got excited about something and I'd have to give her the "keep it down" hand signals. Other than that, just closed the balcony door and window, myself spoke in low volumes to try and set the tone and when it got to midnight I moved us from the lounge into bed hoping that'd quiet her down a bit and it did a little but she's just a loud talker.

Anyway, it's one time I may have (I'm not even sure if I did) disturbed my neighbours in many years of living here so I'm sure they can forgive me for a couple of hours as I've forgiven others for their rare disturbances.
