My New Neighbors Are Driving Me Crazy

[TN_Vixen]

I live in a duplex and just recently acquired new neighbors. First, they chose last Sat. Night at 10pm to move in, then proceeded to have a knock down drag out fight early Sunday morning. The hysterics were very entertaining, even if they did wake me up. heh. Now, they have a dog who shits in my front yard.. they play their music so loudly that I can FEEL the thumping in the back bedroom and currently.. they are outside on the patio assembling something that requires a drill. I still have yet to figure out how many people are living next door. There's always 5 or 6 cars in the parking lot... and one guy last weekend introduced himself to me as "their manager" wtf? I was afraid to ask.

Sounds like I'm in for a humdinger of a Spring. yehaw.

 

[LukkyKnight]

humdinger?

Y'all are sort of into understatement, aincha?

 

[Phoenyx]

You could complain to the cops about the noise.

 

[MissTaken]

Duplexes are a sick, evil joke!


My neighbors are nice enough, but they eat a lot of chinese food, teh odor of which pervades my half of the house.

"Hey! Did you hear me? THIS is MY half! Keep your fucking smells to yourself!"

And they take up the entire driveway.

Oh well.....

 

[scylis]

i would give you advice, but that sounds too much like the crew in our house.

~ See if you can record a small cassette of their arguing. Play it back around five a.m. half way through the work week.

Now, they have a dog who shits in my front yard..
~Collect it, and leave it in a little pile on their front porch, with a sincere note, if possible.

they play their music so loudly that I can FEEL the thumping in the back bedroom and currently..
~Do you have an office to complain to? If not, call the cops. They'll have them turn it down.

~I'd ask, you probably have a new band next door. Do you really want to deal with drums and electric guitars?

*Just thought I'd add in my evil thoughts, take what you like from it.

I could lend you my Right Said Fred CD- all you have to do is put it on the highest volume, hit repeat, and leave for the day.

 

[Pixie]

Oh my...

Right Said Fred....
That's so cruel...

My only consolation is that my landlord came over the other day and told me he'll get rid of 'em if I ask.. that he'd rather have me here than them anytime. In the meantime, I'm just going to suffer until I can't handle the disruption anymore. I can turn up my music just as loud... throw just as many parties, baby. heh.

The dog shit does bother me, though.

 

[Phoenyx]

TN_vixen if you do what they do then not only are you sinking to their level but yuo will give them amunition to use against you.

 

[TN_Vixen]

yeah Phoenix, you're right. I can't really do it anyway, having an almost 9 yr old. These guys are just kids. MAYBE 20 yrs old. I won't do anything that will be just as obnoxious. Maybe I'll just smile pretty at them and tell them the next time their music or fighting wakes me up, I'll quit leaving my blinds up? hehe

I can't speak for those dudes, but it would sure as hell keep me quiet and watchful. RF

 

[freakygirl]

Tn Vixen is there a doggy doo doo law in your city?

Tell them you would appreciate them cleaning it up after the dog does it. If they don't tell them again (in writing). If this doesn't help call the police.

Not exactly the best way to deal with new neighbors. But maybe.. just maybe you won't have to go as far as calling the police.

 

[TN_Vixen]

oh I just don't want to go to the extent

of calling the police. Really. I remember being that young and married to the jerk I was, we had fights allllll the time. Ugly ones, ones where the police came to the door from time to time. One time the police knocked on the door and asked... "We had a call about public disturbance?" And my ex said.. "Why hell yeah, it's a damn domestic dispute.. come on in.." heh (ok, I was married to the redneck from hell - sue me) but everytime I think of that I laugh. I was locked up in the bathroom at the time, and would only come out when I realized the police weren't going to go away until they saw I wasn't hurt in anyway. God, I'm so glad all that shit is behind me.


Perky.. as for the dog-doo laws, I don't think so. We don't even have leash laws here.

I have an extra bedroom and promise to be a gentleman.

 

[TN_Vixen]

ah Saturday night and the neighbors are restless

of course I couldn't just have this experience on my own. I thought to myself.. I must.. MUST share it with my fellow Lit-ers. They are now slamming doors, screaming and hollering. Ah, so nice to be a part of it all.

 

[LukkyKnight]

Good fences make good neighbors, they say, but it's tricky when you share walls. I still remember in college enjoying listening to the couple in the next apartment when they'd been drinking... they got loud and um... entertaining.

Vixen, I can't promise that gentleman thing, not with the series of avs you've had, but I can find room to put you up for a decade or two...

 

[TN_Vixen]

Lukky... flattery works with me

heh.

Speaking of having neighbors where you can hear every little thing.. I spent 4 yrs. in university housing and the walls were paper thin. This couple next to me had their bedroom smack dab up against mine. I could even hear her panting as he fucked her. It was unreal!

 

[roxie]

This brought back memories of running a motel, lol, My SO and I lived in the manager's apartment, really small, but hey it was free rent and I absolutely hated renting the room next to our apartment out, I always tried to be careful of who was staying in there, because the walls were fairly thin. I had a family who had been burned out of their home staying there for about a month or so and I swear I thought I was gonna have to kill them all, they were loud all day and night. With absolutely no respect for the working.
I do remember one incident that really freaked me out tho, I rented the very same room to 2 women that I assumed were sisters since they looked almost identical, I was outside smoking a cigarette and they started unloading their car and walked into the room with a car battery, a set of jumper cables and a saddle, I didn't ask any questions, I just went inside, of course my SO just stood and stared with his mouth hanging open. I finally had to yell at him cuz I thought he was gonna pass out!

 

[LukkyKnight]

~laugh~

Yeah, Vixen, we had mirror image apartments, so my bedroom and bathroom were back to back with theirs. I can still hear her hollering at him, she called him "Wiener" a LOT when they'd had one too many... and my lord the things they did in that bathroom.

Did I mention what nice posts you make? And those avs - so eye-catching. Why, you must be the best Vixen in the entire state of TN, and I'm sure you are well beyond what the MN Vixen's have to offer... shall I sing you Bryan Adams songs?

I live on the first floor of a three family house. New neighbors had moved in so I offered to help them move, they had a lot of stuff with them. I figured that by helping them, they may be nicer than the last person that lived there (BITCH FROM HELL). So I helped them unload a large moving truck and made three trips with my van, a total of 10 hours of help. The very next day, they had the stereo so loud , I could not even hear my self think. So i went upstairs to ask them to turn it down at least a little. After 12 knocks on the door, they were getting progressively louder, they answered the door. They said "FUCK YOU " , went back inside and turned it up louder. But , I have gotten the last laugh. Now when they really piss me off, I crank up my wifes Yanni CD's on the Five cd changer and go for a drive. Chewey
