You Can Go to Jail For Having Very Noisy Sex
A British woman just learned the hard way: Your neighbors don’t share your happiness.
Today in cringe-worthy headlines: The Guardian reports that a Birmingham woman will spend two weeks in jail, having violated her court order to stop making sex sounds loud enough to disturb her neighbors.
A civil court judge concluded that, in addition to screaming and shouting during a early-morning lovemaking session in January, Gemma Wale (are names destiny, after all?) had “breached the order by arguing with her boyfriend, swearing at a neighbour, ‘banging around the house’ and ‘running around in the property’,” according to The Guardian.
