Man Embarrassed After Neighbour 'Hears Him Crying In The Bath Listening To Adele'

An NHS worker was left red-faced after a neighbour left him a message asking him if he wanted to hang out following a 'mopey' karaoke session in the bath.

Harry Joe, from Leeds, received the letter while he was in the tub, belting out some of Adele's greatest hits.

After reading it, he shared a photo, asking his followers whether it was brought about after hearing him 'crying' to the singer's tunes.

The 25-year-old posted the snap to his Twitter account. The caption read: "Do you think my neighbour heard me crying to Adele in the bath? Yes or Yes?"

The sweet note was from a neighbour who had recently moved in

It said: "Hey, I hope this doesn't come across weird but if you ever want to hang out, give me a knock.

"It would be nice to know someone in the building and I think it would be good for my dog to meet new people too."

Harry, who is currently based in Aberdeen working as a student operating department practitioner with the NHS, added: "How sweet is that?"

Expanding on his bath time sing-alongs, Harry said he was actually enjoying a nice soak in the tub when he heard the note drop through his letter box on 3 May.

He said: "I thought it was going to be a noise complaint at first! But once I read it I was a bit embarrassed.

"But also thought how nice it was, people don't usually interact in that way anymore, especially in their early 20s.

"Crying to Adele was a semi-joke. I often have a bath with a bottle of wine and a mopey Spotify playlist - but I do love Adele and I'm ready for the new album."

Harry, who has lived in his flat for a year, said he hadn't ever really spoken to his neighbour, save for a few polite exchanges when he moved in about a month ago.

But now they're finally starting to get to know each other.

"We've never stopped for an actual chat so I think he genuinely wanted to meet his new neighbours," he said.

"We're going for a coffee and a walk into town today, we've messaged a fair bit."

After seeing Harry's viral post, the neighbour, who has since been revealed as 24-year-old Bradly, said he thought it was hilarious.

Harry said: "I had to break it to him that the tweet went viral but he found it funny and said his friends had already seen it but didn't realise it was him.

"I thought my follower base would find it entertaining but I didn't think it would go viral - let's hope the queen of pop Adele sees it!"
