The couple upstairs is driving me nuts.
When they seemed to be taking up clog dancing,
I politely knocked on their door and asked them to try to be a little more mindful.
When they bred, I put up uncomplainingly with their squalling infant for months.
Now I need creative solutions.
The banging started at 10:00 last night.
The banging woke me up this morning.
In the miasma of broken dreams, I imagined they were building a gallows for me.
Bashing at the ceiling and yelling only makes them giggle and yell back. And bang.
Complaining to the powers that be is distateful to me.
I'm too sleep-deprived to think of a more suitable approach
and the constant droning of every radio in my apartment is distracting me.
What does one do with noisy neighbors?

HA! We have the same problem.
A couple and 2 kids, one of which rides his big wheel around the apartment, on wooden floors, at all hours.
They keep the little fucks up all night too, I swear they never sleep.
Can we complain to the realtor that owns the building? No, he works for them.

What's a magaphone???
greeneyes
Mar 22 2005, 06:50 AM
A bullhorn full of maggots.
It's not as loud as a standard megaphone,
but it has the advantage of rendering speech garbled
and can be emptied onto a doorstep for ood measure.
Megaphone. My bad.
Rimbaud

Can the maggots be delicately seasoned before entering the bullhorn, for added flavor and excitement?

Silicone earplugs, or headphones, both are hard to sleep in but you get used to it.
Poor Peeps.

Seasoning the maggots is optional.
You may have hit on something.
Perhaps a nice batch of homemade cookies
to guilt them into consideration,
with a strong soporific mixed into the batter.

Invest in a cheap drumbox.
Find a good, annoying, anapestic bass beat.
Crank it up.
Leave for the weekend.

Call the fuzz. They don't do anything anyway 'cept eat donuts and find hiding places to sleep in. Oh and give out tickets to garbage truck drivers for nothing.
Tell them that you pay their salary and that you demand that they tell the neighbors to keep it down.

Oh...they sleep, alright. Til around 9 am.
Whereas, I am up between 6-7 am. Listening to Indian sitar music, VERY loudly.
Hey, I love sitar music - but it's not everyones cuppa

get one of those Stephen Hawking computer generated voice thingies and really loud speakers.
then feed it all of SPAZ-ASS's posts on a a 24 hour loop.
they'll either kill you or themselves, and the problem will be solved.

Just Google George Hayduke for ideas. (I contributed to one of his books)
If that doesn't work leave Trainer out in the hall in front of their door.

He's quite the deviously creative chap.
I had some noisy upstairs neighbors when I found that book.
I can't remember what I did to them now.
But whatever it was, I got the idea from that book.
It might have involved brake fluid on his new truck's paint job...can't quite recall.
