I'm Going To Kill The People Upstairs

[Trinique_Fire]

goddammit no one needs to bang around that fucking much all goddamn day. when i come home from work at 3 in the morning i don't want to hear what sounds like your whole fucking bodies slamming against the floor. it's getting fucking out of control and for all the times i asked you to please tone it down it's gotten worse. i hope i can get your stupid asses evicted just on the basis of disturbing MY peace.



don't fux with me today.

Hmmm - a pretty problem: Do you use a revolver or an automatic? Then, plead temporary insanity or justifiable homicide?

(Maybe a chain saw? Nah - too noisy.)

Play loud polka music - direct the speakers their way.

Hell, that would put ME out of the mood.

lol it's not that they're having sex, but it sounds like they move furniture around all day every day. there's two little boys up there too, no older than 7 or 8. you would think, at eleven o clock at night on a weekday, those kids would be in bed. not so. at one point since we've been here, we watched paint chip off our ceiling because of the thumping around. see, it wouldn't be me. my kids would NOT be running around like that inside the house.

ps. those are the neighbors in the next house over that have the sex. hell, i don't mind. they sound good, and anyway they play sexy music too. lucky for me it provides the perfect oppotunity to pull out my toy and have playtime.

Don't do it baby. I'm looking forward to seeing you and don't want to have to visit you in stripes.

Yeah, stripes don't look good on me.

Baby, huh?

I have pretty much the same problem. Now, I get along with the woman who lives next door. We share food, she keeps me stocked in gallons of milk because she has awesome welfare that gives her like 30 gallons a month and she doesn't use half as much as they give her, we stay up late and smoke, drink; we have a good time together; I even watch her kids at times, which is awesome because I love having the little buggers around.

Now, her husband on the other hand, fuckin' hate him! He has come on to me countless times, one of the times I had to send the boy over there to threaten his life; but the chick won't leave him. That isn't the point, though.

The music they play all fucking day drives me nuts! The man is Jamaican and she's Puerto Rican - Do you know what kind of music that means I am forced to listen to through paper thin walls from 10am - 3am? I get viciously angry and have asked her to stop, and even though she has toned it down, he'll do it just because he knows I go fuckin' nuts over here because of it. I sleep during the day and now, I hardly sleep at all. Thank you, ghetto hip hop and rap music. So when I leave the house, I play hardcore metal music to the capacity my speakers can handle and when I actually have sex, which is very few and far between anymore, believe me, I am a screamer - always have been. She hasn't said a word to me about it yet.

Same here - got a chap living above me, who is an alcoholic and certified nut - friendly chap though, unless he is really out of it, however he has lost the concept of time somewhere along that road - so he is helping the entire house to free radio-music at any given time, be that 4 o'clock in the morning, or during my scarce ventures to watch some TV (then I can't understand a bloody word without putting the volume up to ridiculous levels myself) in the evening.
Calling the police isn't really an option, because his volume excesses come in fits and spurs, and he calmed down most of the time when they arrive (like an hour later) - if that's in the middle of the night, they actually buzz you out of bed, if it was you who called them....
Knocking at his door isn't such a great idea either, as he can be pretty aggressive and has been known to shower some of my complaining neighbours (and two policemen) with urine he keeps handy in his living-room... Since there are loud bumping noises from all the bottles dropping on his wooden floor as well, I just hope that none of his receptacles he is using for "collection" ever drop and procure a "wet" night for me.

I wouldn't mind as much, if it was at least good music, but his taste gets progressively worse with his level of inebriation - sometimes it does serve a purpose though, as he and his girlfriend have a leaning towards dirty talk - which could even be interesting at times, if their vocabulary actually exceeded 5 words.

Well, guys like him have to live somewhere I guess and although I wish it wasn't in the flat above me, there is nothing I can do about it. I get angry at times, especially if I have to get up really early in the morning, or can sleep in, and he thinks that 6 o'clock in the morning is when everyone should get up, but what can you do?

SOLUTION: Go over with a very worried expression. Tell the parents that a gigantic crack has appeared in your ceiling. Also tell them that the landlord has been over with a surveyor to check the scale of the damage, and it's not looking good... In fact, if that crack widens by as much as a millimetre, it means that both you and they will have to find somewhere else to live while major repair work is being done. Therefore, it's imperative that everyone moves around as softly as possible, and doesn't move any furniture around.

Try it.

LMAO Thanks everyone for your stories and suggestions. At 6:15 this morning, my roommate and I decided the hour was wonderful for listening to the Rent soundtrack VERY LOUDLY.

He's got one of those great big stereos with an amazing sound system. So we played Rent and then my personal screecy favorite, Annie.

The noise hasn't stopped. I am seriously getting mad, and I think we're at war. Thats not right. I should say the noise paused for about five minutes, as though in disbelief. It started up again, louder than ever.

This means war.

Talk to the landlord, I'm sure they would be able to do something about it... Or call the police for noise problems

are you an alt? i'm not being facetious, your name just looks like someone elses.

People like this are truly annoying. Sometimes you have to bite the bullet.

Make a Tape recording of it, with a voice over stating the time and date. Do this for a couple of days/nights and hand it to your landlord while commenting that you have another copy for the local newspapers.

Also hand off a copy of this to your upstairs neighbors with the same comment.

I'm sure the local newspaper would find it of interest, as would your local housing commision.

You as a tenant have rights.

Now if for some reason you have access to their apartment or their utilities there are other ways in which you can torture them.

Personally I would go with the noise ordinance route, which tends to go into effect 9 or 10 pm in most locales. Heck you can even crank it up a notch by calling the police indicating that you fear there is domestic violence going on upstairs. Having neighbors you hate sucks! so hopefully you can avoid that.
