Neighbors – Epic Facepalm
I have this neighbor who doesn’t understand that this building we live in has thin walls, that blasting music late at night thin walls or not is not acceptable. I’ve tried diplomacy, calling the cops, ringing doorbells that went unanswered and tonight again BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Last time I called the cop only to have her daughter’s boyfriend pull the same deal on me the next when not even a light was on in my apartment because I had just gotten home from dinner with friends. Really funny. Before it escalated I tried one last time to talk to the mom. Things looked ok. She admitted to her daughter and her boyfriend trying to get back at me. It’s enough that I have to hear her daughter scream like a litter of puppies when she’s fucking her boyfriend and this wakes me up all the time. But the music is simply beyond annoying because I can’t read, watch TV or just rest. It resonates everywhere.
After my last discussion with the mom I thought the problem was fixed, until tonight that is. I thumped the floor, the music stopped, only to start up again. I decided to be nice and go ring the bell. Well this was unexpected, some douchebag with his shirt unbuttoned to low even by the 1970’s standards with an unlit cigarette opens the door and tries to intimidate me with all of his 5 feet and 7 inches (that’s WITH the hair) I felt like laughing.
Here we go again, some macho moron is gonna go all out full salvo testosterone overload and try to prove what a man he is. Can I start yawning now? I don’t even bother with small fries, I just look at the mom and ask her to please lower the volume and she says no problem. Meanwhile shortstack wants some attention and is insistent.
Shortstack: “Who are you?”
ME:”The dude upstairs, I just want you guys to take it down a few notches thanks”
Shortstack:”And what time is it?”
ME:”Time to take down the volume”
Shortstack:”It’s not even eleven yet…”
ME:”Dude that’s a myth, ok?”
The Mom:”It’s OK we’ll take it down”
Shortstack:”So you’re the guy who called the cops?”
ME:”Yeah yeah that’s me”
Shortstack:”I just want to know who I’m dealing with”
ME:”The guy upstairs, see ya”
Shortstack obviously has a temper because this all happened at 10pm and it’s now 11pm and I can still hear him screaming downstairs, which only makes me laugh. Come on dude it’s all about respecting your neighbors, I’m not asking you to sacrifice your firstborn. More thumping and screaming as I write.
I just know he’s gonna try to pull something, because macho pricks like him always have to have the last word. I can’t wait to see what he comes up with.
PRE-POST UPDATE: Shorstack came to see me. We tested the sound and they will keep it low. Weird. Weird…. Just fucking Weird. I don’t get people.
Well hopefully now he understands and they cooperate!!!
I also had a neighbour come to my house once and let her see how loud I could hear her music. Then she was better, and told me even to call her if it was ever too loud! But I’m glad living in Blanc-Sablon in my own little house that’s one thing I don’t have to bother me anymore!
We’ll have to wait and see.
Definitely looking to see how it turns out for you with the warm weather coming. I have the same problem.
Reminds me of my retard neighbor, to whom I’ve been telling about what…500 times so far, not to put his music to the max at 2 o’clock at night.
What’s wrong with those people? Don’t they know they don’t live alone on an island, and that other people are just trying to sleep???
And well, needless to say, he’s still doing it, anytime, of any day….
Fucker….
Thanks for letting me blow off some steam!!!
