In our understanding
A person who teaches others how to do things
At the very least, one must be able to set a good example through one's words and actions.
Only then can one be qualified to persuade others.
But the reality is that double standards exist everywhere...
In noise handling cases
I've encountered many cases of home noise.
In my understanding, I also assume that:
In the hearts of those who suffer from severe noise from upstairs
There is also a measuring scale.
They know all too well the suffering caused by noise pollution.
This will also make people consciously pay attention to their words and actions.
Avoid becoming the villain you criticize in your own words.
But... people only want the flowers to bloom for them.
The following two short stories
This is something I encountered in a real case.
"Double standard person"
Life is about mutual understanding
Story 1
The following dialogue comes from a real telephone case:
Customer: Hello, my house is currently being renovated. I would like to ask if you do soundproofing?
Editor: Hello, our company is located in Hangzhou and we specialize in soundproofing.
Client: I just want to install ceilings, including those in the living room and both bedrooms.
Editor: Okay, could you tell me the approximate area?
Customer: I'd like to ask if your products are environmentally friendly enough? I need all your products to be environmentally friendly before I buy them, because we have children at home and we are quite particular about environmental protection.
Editor: All products have environmental testing reports, so please rest assured. By the way, besides the ceiling, are you also getting the floor installed? This will help prevent children from disturbing the downstairs neighbors.
Customer: I can't control what's downstairs (responds quickly)...
Story 2:
Previous WeChat conversations:
The following voice call:
Customer: I live on the 2nd floor. I've tried talking to the 3rd floor residents and even called the police, but when the police came, the 3rd floor residents wouldn't open the door. As far as I know, the 3rd and 4th floor residents also have a conflict; the 4th floor residents say that the 3rd floor residents used a vibration device on their home.
Editor: Do you mean the third floor is also bothered by the noise from the fourth floor?
Customer: Yes, that's right.
Editor: Logically, people who are bothered by noise from upstairs should generally be empathetic and know that the noise can seriously affect others. By the way, is she the only one on the third floor? When do you usually hear noise from the third floor?
Client: Yes, she's a woman around 40 years old, lives alone, and seems to run an online shop from home. I go to bed early, around 9 or 10 pm, but the upstairs neighbor is still walking around at midnight, sometimes throwing things, and the noise is incredibly loud. I've tried in all three bedrooms, and I can hear the noise from upstairs in almost every one of them. I can't take it anymore, so I searched online for soundproofing solutions and that's how I found you.
Editor: That shouldn't be the case. I don't understand why she would do that. Besides, you've already communicated with her, explaining that she knows your noise is seriously bothering you. It's impossible for her to suffer herself while her downstairs neighbor suffers too.
Customer: That's why I said she's not normal, sigh... I only thought of doing soundproofing because I had no other choice.
Editor: Hmm, I understand. Could you go to the 3rd floor with the lady on the 4th floor to talk to her? Perhaps she is not good at communicating, which is why she resorted to such an extreme way to vent her anger.
Customer: Forget it, I don't want to communicate anymore. I don't want to see her again.
Editor: Okay, then tell me again if you really want to do soundproofing.
Customer: Okay, okay, thank you so much. Sorry to bother you so late.
Of course
I believe this is only a minority of cases.
It is not a common phenomenon.
I still firmly believe:
