Neighbours, Noise, ACAB and Cops: Asshats everywhere

Asshats everywhere

Today, I've suffered 3 months of my neighbor blasting his music so loud, it shakes my apartment floor. None of my noise complaints are ever followed up, but the moment I give him a piece of my mind, he calls the cops, and they threaten me with jail time over a few curse words. FML

Noise annoys

Today, my neighbor got a ridiculous surround sound system that sounds like Jurassic fucking Park come to life. My walls are literally shaking. I tried asking nicely for them to turn it down. They told me to fuck off, and that if I call the cops with a noise complaint, well… they know where I live. FML

Today, I called the cops on my elderly neighbor for blaring loud war music yet again. They chatted and laughed with him on his lawn for a good half hour. As they left, he slapped the female officer's ass, only for her to just giggle about it. After they drove off, he fired up his music again. FML

Today, I found out my upstairs neighbors filed a noise complaint against me for banging on the ceiling every night. They conveniently left out the part where they constantly stomp, shout, and do stuff that sounds like they're dropping bricks to the floor every night. FML

Today, I finally had some alone time to relax and watch a movie. As soon as I pressed play, my neighbor started blasting their music so loud I could feel the bass in my chest. I tried calling the landlord, but they didn't answer. I ended up watching the movie with subtitles while listening to my neighbor's music. FML

Today, I finally got tired of my neighbors constantly blaring their obnoxious rap music all hours of the day and night. Trying to be funny, I put Baby Shark on a loop and turned my speakers all the way up. They called the cops on me. FML

Today, we have an asshole neighbor who owns a loud muscle car. Another neighbor called the cops on him for constantly revving the engine and breaking the noise ordinance. He now purposefully drives by their house at odd hours of the night to blare his horn and wake everybody up. I live across the road from them. FML

Today, I have to wear earplugs in my own apartment because my neighbor won't turn down his music. My landlord doesn't believe me because "people with disabilities can't be rude." FML

Neighbours at war

Today, a man next door has been coughing constantly for past 3 months and I can hear him despite closing my windows. During the day there's construction noise and at night this asshole. I asked him many times to close his windows but he won't. Now I play coughing on a speaker at the same time he starts, just to piss him off. FML

Today, my neighbors in the apartment above me yet again had a loud fight, well past midnight while I was trying to sleep. I stood on my bed and pounded on the ceiling to shut them up. And now I'll have to explain the two fist-shaped holes in the ceiling to my landlord. FML

Today, my downstairs neighbours screamed at me for making so much noise that I woke their children up and made them cry. The noise was the sound of a loose floorboard shifting as I crept to my bathroom, and again on my way back to bed. They've sworn to get me evicted. FML

time to record your environment and then file a noise complaint. if they don't follow up inform them that they'll be hearing from your lawyer

That sucks OP, maybe you should blast your own music and wait until the cops show up. then Turn your radio off and catch your neighbors in the act. or make them cookies and ask to them to turn it down nicely

To the people saying that the OP should of called the police: From the sounds of it OP has previously called the police to complain about the noise but nothing was done.

I was reading something similar to this on petty revenge, and what the person did is that before they went to work or an event they would take their own speakers and play Baby by Justin as loud as possibly with the speakers facing down (since the right was below them).

I saw that one. It was actually Never Gonna Give You Up by Rick Astley.

No no, someone replaced a tv series torrent download with Rick Astley on repeat. It wasn't being played through on speakers.

It was. So, my downstairs neighbor is obnoxious. I live in a shitty old 1970s apartment complex with intolerably thin walls, but I’ve never had a problem with loudness from any neighbors. Until the douche canoe downstairs moved in. He blasts his music until 2-3 am. Not just where I can hear the bass drop loud. But I hear every single word. Over my television. I’ve asked him politely to turn it down to no avail. I’ve called the cops. I’ve complained to management. His drunk friends stumble around the stairwell and harass people. This guy is awful. So now, I place my Bose speaker face down into the floor and play Never Gonna Give You Up loudly on repeat while I go out to the store or leave for a while. But never after hours when it would be a noise violation. But he hears that shit all day. **** him.

Am I the only one that wondered if OP's version of "Give him a piece of my mind" included physical threats that led to the cops reaction?

Why don't you call the cops saying he threatened you just to get them there for the music. You could probably call anonymous and they'd get him for the music.

Don't cast stones at a glass house, by this I mean don't return the favor of blasting your own- rather be civil about it...

Reminds me of when a friend of mine lived in her previous home...they had an obnoxious neighbor who would call the cops on them every time they used the fire pit in their backyard, despite it being safely blocked off so it wouldn't set things on fire. Yet the same neighbors got away with letting their dogs roam free and bite people because they always hid them before the cops showed up. FYL, OP. Hopefully you can bust your jerk of a neighbor. Or at the very least they may move one day.

I've been there a lot. write a detailed record of times that the music is too loud. might help if other people do too so then u can show its not just u who is annoyed by it.
