You have to knock. I know. It’s the worst step. Feels like walking into a spiderweb. But you can do it with charm. Don’t go in with a scowl. Bring a baked good or a funny face. “Hey, I’m trying to get my toddler to sleep, and I think your subwoofer is giving him a career in headbanging. Could we drop the bass just a tad?”
This works because you blame a third party—the toddler, the cat, your insomnia. It’s not you being a jerk; it’s life being life. Most people are not monsters. They just forgot the walls are made of paper. Nine times out of ten, they’ll be mortified and apologize. You’ll feel like a diplomatic superhero.
