I didn't get a great sleep last night.

danrennt98 · 2012-10-01T17:46:39+00:00

For me: Adrenaline rush of thinking what I would say to them if I was to go out there and tell them to shut up. But I'll just lay in a bed and think about the hypothetical situations until they be quiet.

jayspun · 2012-10-01T16:02:16+00:00

glad i'm not the only pussy lying there psyching up to say something and just waiting for them to quiet

Caegs · 2012-10-01T18:02:46+00:00

I get a rush just thinking of it....

t1ck_t0ck · 2012-10-01T21:24:34+00:00

I just call the police now (The local number, NOT 911). I got new neighbors about a year ago. My previous neighbor was a really nice old lady. My new neighbors are a family that can't do anything quietly. The act of throwing trash into their trash cans requires them to slam the top of the trash cans down as hard as possible AT LEAST 5 times.

They bought a tricked out Yukon Denali with a loud sound system and way too much bass shortly after they moved in. Their drive way is right next to my bedroom. So every time they'd come home, that fucker would be turned all the way up and they'd sit there doing god knows what with it blasting until they finally turned the car off and it would rattle my windows and walls. It was enough to piss the pope off.

Finally, what was enough for me was when I came home from work (I work nights, so I come home at around 2 am) and they were having a loud ass party. They were using the Yukon as the sound system for this thing. They saw me and didn't say a word. The adrenaline rush almost caused me to say something I would regret later to them but I just held it in and got inside. I picked up the phone and calmly called the police. About 2 minutes later there was a squad car in front of their house and that got shut down in a hurry.

The next day at around 2 pm the wife came over to my house, pissed, and asked me why I called "the fucking cops". I just smiled at her and shut the door on her. Now they hate me, but really, who cares? At least I can sleep now. Now, they all avoid looking at me when I'm outside and every time they pull into their driveway you can hear them turn the music down real fast.

iSqueezeBunnies · 2012-10-01T19:16:13+00:00

Exact same situation happened with me last night. I kept giving them mental deadlines of "five more minutes of your loud-assery and then Imma come down there and give you piece of my mind."

Well, five minutes became an hour but they did shut up after that... or else... I was so ready....

THEpipeorgan · 2012-10-01T18:11:03+00:00

i was an RA and still got kinda nervous doing it

TheStarkReality · 2012-10-01T19:35:31+00:00

Is it bad that I will always, without hesitation, lean out the window and yell at them to shut up?

DaRabidMonkey · 2012-10-01T19:29:26+00:00

Considering the last time I asked people to be quiet it led to one of the kids threatening to beat me up, it's not entirely unwarranted. It was fucking ridiculous. Idiot freshmen need to learn this isn't high school, anymore—you don't need to be an over-compensating douche.

frader12 · 2012-10-01T19:35:39+00:00

Honest question here, why don't more people sleep with ear plugs? They've been my life saver for the last 3 years.

bzomesius · 2012-10-01T21:06:29+00:00

The worst part is that many of the people that are inconsiderate enough to be loud at 3am are also the same ones that will become hostile towards you if you ask them to be quiet or go someplace else (even if you ask nicely).

I was vacationing at a resort recently and near the end of my stay the high school spring break/grad trip kids started to come. Unfortunately, I happened to get a group of them as neighbors. These fuckers would sit on the balcony at 6am talking and just making a bunch of noise. Now, I'm 23 and understand that people like to party but it was 6am and I wanted to sleep. They literally could have gone anywhere on the resort and do the same thing. I asked them to please be quiet cuz I was trying to sleep and was greeted with a smirk and an "ok". When I closed the balcony door, one of the guys there remarked, "Pfft, now we're just gonna be louder."

tl:dr People are assholes and when confronted, rather than apologize, will become defensive, even more annoying and/or confrontational

balsamicpork · 2012-10-01T19:21:58+00:00

Last Wednesday night there people were outside a bar just blasting some music from their car. It was loud enough to shake my walls, which, while I'm across the street for the bar, is absolutely absurd.

So I called the bar an told the bartender "Hey, there are people outside the bar blasting their shitty music. Can you tell them in 1:30 in the fucking morning?"

She replied with "yeah, give me a sec. Hear her screaming at them outside, then she gets back on the phone and says "fuck you"

I stayed up due to being pissed.

TheVicarofChrist · 2012-10-01T19:37:09+00:00

Nothing annoys me more than people being incredibly noisy when someone is sleeping near by. So many occasions of blasting out of my room, hair gone crazy, barely keeping my eyes open... "HEY! KEEP IT DOWN PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO SLEEP!!!" Have some fucking decency! Jesus!

drummer7 · 2012-10-01T21:35:08+00:00

Reminds me of a recent incident when I was studying in a library. Guy came in and sat 2 desks down with his ipod earbuds blaring. Like, I could hear everything. So I got up, tapped him on the shoulder and politely asked him to turn it down. He apologized and obliged, and when I got up later he stopped me and apologized again, saying he was in a loud study area and forgot. People generally aren't all bad.

(Of course, I couldn't focus for like 5 minutes after I told him to turn it down because I was so amped up, but still...)

rjnr · 2012-10-01T19:08:54+00:00

I can go one step further by suggesting that the adrenaline rush of THINKING of asking them to be quiet would keep me awake.

DaSasquatch · 2012-10-01T19:51:17+00:00

This happened to me not too long ago. My 22 year old brother had about 13 of his friends getting wasted and loud on the lawn at 3am. Usually I wouldn't do anything but stress myself out all night. Even though I'm a big guy, the anxiety can be overwhelming at times but this time I decided to man up and went out there and told them to get the fuck out and even made them clean up after themselves before they left. I was so proud of myself.

YSCapital · 2012-10-01T19:58:26+00:00

Happened to me a few weeks ago. Loud party outside my apartment at 2 A.M on a Sunday. Opened my door yelled "It's 2'o clock in the morning, STFU" and shut my door. Laid awake trying to fall asleep but full of adrenaline and just laid there till 5.

price-iz-right · 2012-10-01T20:24:07+00:00

Butter the floor...did it to my upstairs neighbour who neglected to shut the fuck up everyday he plowed his cow of a wife after multiple talkings to. I give you 2 chances...if I have to talk to you twice the 3rd time I'm going to start fucking with you. I would also grab a broom and slam he floor every time I heard the cow mooing incessantly. It was always at like 3 AM when I'm trying to sleep. Sex couldn't be that great if the moaning suddenly ceases when I slam the roof 10 times. I also contemplated leaving a dead fish in the hallway but the broom slamming fixed the problem rather quickly.

daveyjonesmcgee · 2012-10-01T21:10:30+00:00

Shit i do not know where your from but where i'm at if i go outside to complain about noise i already have to be pumped and ready to scrap, cuz muthafuckas will straight up get in face and say make em'. And calling the 5-0 is out of the question.

A couple of months ago in Israel, a man was stabbed to death when asking teenage kids (Hebrew: ערסים) to be quiet. This man had a baby girl.

Aaah, when memes become reality. Or the other way around?

Call the cops. If the people are drunk, they probably won't listen to you, not to mention you're just adding to the noise.

Chipzzz · 2012-10-01T19:40:31+00:00

I lived in a noisy building at one point and found earplugs to be an ideal solution. I got a good night's sleep and my neighbors enjoyed their parties. Everybody won.

Doofe_N7 · 2012-10-01T19:56:16+00:00

I guess I'm not that socially awkward then, since when this happens in my dorm building, I just stay in bed and yell "Shut the fuck up!" in the direction of my door. Zero fucks given on my part.

Pheylan · 2012-10-01T20:10:02+00:00

I do the same, but with my sister. She's often on her phone at like 2am, and she's much louder than she thinks. One night it got so bad that I fucking lost it, burst into her room, grabbed her phone, threw it at a concrete wall and went back to bed without saying a word. Felt fucking amazing.

"Fuck it... I'm staying up..."

themichelinman · 2012-10-01T20:17:20+00:00

Adrenaline rush of screaming "shut the fuck up!" also kept me awake. There, I fixed it.

Oh my god. The same thing happened to me on Friday Night. The next door neighbours cousin came over and rang and banged on his door for over an hour and a half. Its a god damn townhouse you think I can't hear that? It started shortly after 1am! But I didn't want to interfere because I always seem to get mixed up in that neighbours stuff. One day I found a senile old woman with no shoes and a purse full of food sitting on his steps. Another time the police came to our house and said someone in that house called 911 and no one was answering the door and have we heard or seen anything.
Finally got the nerve to poke my head out the door but instead of saying "SHUT THE FUCK UP" I said, "Is there something I can help you with? Do you need me to call the police?"

TheOneArmedBandit · 2012-10-01T20:19:56+00:00

I live downtown, close to the pubs and nightclubs so I'm used to it being somewhat loud outside over the weekends. But one night it was really bad. There were people standing right by my door having a conversation.

I listened and waited for them to leave but after a few minutes I've had enough. I could identify three different voices, two male and one female. I just couldn't ignore it so I decided to ask them to leave, I got dressed up and took out my pocked knife, just in case something would go south - I've had some shady people turn up at my doorstep in the dead of night. I opened the door slowly and surprised the heck out the people.. turns out they had just scored some coke and were in the process of snorting it when I opened.

It startled me also that they were doing coke, I just though they were talking and probably smoking. But I remained calm and told them I was trying to get some sleep and if they would mind just going someplace else other than standing outside the door, that it was none of my business what they were doing - I just wanted to get some sleep. One of the dudes just flips at me and starts shouting and threatening me, that I should just fuck off. But the luck was on my side because the other people held him back, calmed him down and apologized. They finally left after a brief conversation, I shook hands with the calm dude and wished them a good night.

I couldn't go to bed for two hours because of the adrenaline. I was terrified that the angry guy would show up again and do something.

imprettyflyforawifi · 2012-10-01T20:46:14+00:00

I had this with my noisy flatmate. I'd even write irate text messages to her and then just delete them and continue to stew in bed. The few times I did say/shout something the adrenaline afterwards would just keep me awake for even longer...

Bryguy100 · 2012-10-01T20:51:10+00:00

I was with my g/f in bed and there was a noisy couple literally right outside the window at 2:00 a.m., I had to open the window and tell a guy in the process of getting a blowjob to please go away. They ran off embarassed as shit and I have to live with the guilt of pulling the most un-bro move ever.

Orchidomegaly · 2012-10-01T21:39:11+00:00

When I was younger my roommates were always texting me from bed to ask me to be quite in the other room, or sometimes they would even dare to venture out of their bedroom to tell me a sob story about how they had to get up early the next day. In the end we reached a compromise. They started to wear ear plugs.

Now that I have school, work, and responsibility, I usually have a pair ear plugs next to my bed. I know how the fight runs its course and I would rather just jump to the end.

AwkwardAsHell · 2012-10-01T21:39:49+00:00

I used to live next to a bar. When I moved in it was quiet. Then a new ass hole bought the bar and started having live bands. I called the police several times and they did nothing. I eventually contacted my state, they have a noise ordinance. They sent someone out and they fined him. I don't know how much. He continued with the noise. We moved and he eventually went out of business, but it still bothers me. I hope he burns in hell.

One time, there were assholes who were above me who used to keep me awake at night. They were daysleepers. So when I was awake during the day, I got a boombox and blasted King Diamond. It was like the scene in Clerks II.

This is me. <rant> Continually. I bought a house in a nice neighborhood. All my neighbors were awesome. My next door neighbor, Steve, was an alcoholic. He came home at 2am, drunk, and passed out quiet. Then he moved to Texas and let his daughter use the house, sans rent. I'm an insomniac, anything wakes me up, it's hard enough to fall asleep without her and her loser friends talking right outside my bedroom window where I can hear every word. White trash to the max too.

I've talked with them. I've yelled at them. I've negotiated with them. I've made peace with them. I've given them alternatives (I can't hear or smell anything if they're on their back porch, and nobody else in the neighborhood can either). I've threatened to call the cops. Nothing has stopped them. It's gotten better from what it was, but I had to walk out the front porch friday night and yelled, "Hey, what the **** ever happened to the back porch?" The response? "Was that really necessary?" "YES! ITS FUCKING 11:30 AND I HAVE TO GET UP IN 5 HOURS! Slam the door" No sleep for me 'til 1am. Sheesh.

They've also managed to piss off just about every other neighbor in the area, who are now calling the cops on them. I doubt they've paid the $3600 (yes, thirtysix hundred dollars) fine they got when they were lighting off fireworks in the middle of august and started a grass fire.

Freaking redneck retards. Now just waiting for the right opportunity to call the cops.
