So my upstairs neighbors are lovely. They create docos in their spare time. They have just sent this text message requiring me to avoid normal saturday things (laundry, vacuuming, an using the bathroom).

Text he sent:
Hey [pumunk] We're having some people around tomorrow afternoon as part of the documentary we're currently filming. You might hear a bit more stomping than usual. Also I would like to ask if it's possible for you to avoid doing any noisy activities such as using the washing machine, hoovering or using the bathroom fan during this time? Sorry to have ask you this but the sound will be picked up in the film due to the lack of sound insulation. We should only be filming from around 2.30-4pm. Hope this is ok. Thanks

My response:
I dont want to be an issue but there needs to be more notice.
I know how film projects go. Do you think it is likely you will be earlier than 230 or later than 4?

So I am left wondering what to say next. Do I just agree?

I do not like the short notice nature of this. I do not want them to make me an after thought. My gut says do not be an ass but I know filming usually goes over what you plan. Maybe they won't but I do not feel like they asked, just informed me I needed to be quiet.

Talk sense to me reddit. I do not want to be an asshole but I also do not like being dictated to.
