noisy neighbors

[Stormystarr]

Am I the only person with extremly noisy neighbors? And no, I'm not talking about the ones who play thier music too loud or anything like that.

But my neighbors have a knack for annoying the fuck out of me at every moment of the day!!! They sound like elephants when they go up and down the steps, they pound mercilessly on the floors, they yell constantly, they don't watch thier kids, they are the worst people on the face of this fucking earth. But do they limit thier noises to daytime, or at least stop by ten o'clock? Hell no, they continue on into the morning. I honestly think these people never sleep. I am so damn tired of it.
I have even gone as far as putting my stereo up against the wall and blasting Marilyn Manson as loud as it would go, they are rap assholes (1/4 of the way shakes the walls) And that stoped them for about a total of 3 hours. Must I continue to put up with these inbred losers for the next 2 years???

I'm about to go over and break some necks. Anyone else have this problem?

ewww sorry 'bout your bad luck

I have never really had 'close' neighbors but my walking partner lives in staff housing and the neighbors there are in your back and front yard lol

a couple of nights ago we were walking. we came around this corner and i just stopped dead where i stood. It sounded as if someone was murdering a cat. then i thought i heard a man's 'voice' (if you could call it that) and figured there was a fight going on. About that time I heard somethin thumpin against the wall and some more 'screams' and it dawned on me what was going on... i couldn't believe it! I turned to grab my friend and drag her down the road. she was still standing there trying to figure out what that noise was when we heard the last "ohhhhh oh oh" and she burst out laughing.

the funniest part is that it was coming from the lady's house who puts off the appearance of being so 'prim n proper, better than you' and her hubby is always talking about how she is not into sex and doesn't enjoy it much haha

i did have to ask him at work last night if he has a habit of killin kitties on a regular basis hehehe

Start calling the landlord or the police, move or start acting like a deranged " serial killer next door" type.

Carry large bundles in and out of your car at all hours. Ask them if they know how to sharpen an axe or if they have any chain saw lubricant. Go and tell them that if they smell anything "funny" to tell you first. Play Gregorian Chants on your stereo and yell your praises to the "Dark Master" loud enough that they can hear them. After every sentance spoken to them add "according to the prophecy".

It may work, but even if it does't at least you'll be entertained.

They already think I'm evil. I always wear all black, my hair is waist length and black, I look evil most of the time. I know this because a lot of people in my town think I worship satan. and i even sound evil when I laugh. so I don't think thats gonna work. although how did you know about those bodies...er...big bags?

Even better...you are already half way there. Rent some power tools, laugh maniacly while revving them late at night... that should push em over the edge.

Speak to your landlord first. You can't be the only one who complains if they're that loud. Then start calling the police if they make noise past a certain hour, most towns have noise ordinances, mine is from 2200-0500, you don't play music loud, run screaming down the streets, throw wild parties, or use compression brakes after 2200. If neither of these things work, you could contact a local lawyer concerning your rights in the matter.

Barring that, do what Expertise says. :~) Only add the Hannibal Lecter twist, squeeze biceps and tell them the need more meat on their bones, then discuss mystery meat parmigana in the same breath.

Seriously, though. If you live in an apartment complex, talk to the management and complain about them. Maybe they'll stop. Yeah, right. Maybe you can move to another apartment without paying another deposit. Some complexes will let you do that. Other than those suggestions, I don't know.

Oh I have completely been there. Twice. Once was when I first moved out on my own, and I lived in a little efficiency apartment. Decent enough place, but kinda old (read: really thin walls). The first girl downstairs was a fucking terror. Stereo, TV, friends over ALL the fucking time, not giving a shit what hour of the day or night it was, and I never said anything. Hey, I was 18, what did I know? The landlord lived in Florida, so what was I gonna do? Anyway, little ol' introverted me had a few close friends who would come over once in a while. No parties, no nothing. I kept my music down to reasonable levels when she was home. Well, one night I ended up having an impromptu party, and she had the audacity to get in my face about it. I completely amped out and lost it.

New place, same thing, only this guy had a subwoofer on his stereo I would die to have....in any other place. It was just not cool to have it in a duplex. The walls and floors would literally vibrate. And no, I didn't enjoy it. I talked to the landlord, and he snuck around here a few weekends to check it out. Warned them 3 times, no dice, so he evicted them. So I'm with everyone else...give it a shot. You have nothing to lose and a few hours sleep to gain.

I know you don't mean this kind of noisy neighbor, but you reminded me of a story Frank told me. He was in a motel room in Cincinnati (on a business trip) in his early 20s when he was awakened in the middle of the night because the man in the next room was yelling "Yes! SUCK it, baby!"

I find this story VERY funny! Thought I'd share it.

That, and his neighbors complained about all the AAAAWWWWOOOOing.



I've been there too, stormy. Talked to the management office several times before calling the cops. Where we lived, after a certain hour, it was an arrestable offence. They got sick of the cops showing up and moved.

Here's what you do... I have never tried it, but I know that it would piss me off... Get a copy of any typically annoying album, such as something from Barbara Streisand, Neil Diamond, Michael Jackson...I am sure you can see where I am going with this... When you notice it is quiet upstairs, turn it on real loud.. not too loud, just loud enough for them to hear it. Leave it play and leave the house.. go have fun, to work, what have you. And when thety bitch, either confront them with your problem.. or say something like "oops...sorry, your mom was here all day..."
