I Hate My Neighbor

I don't agree with your behavior @threefirefour, but Omelettin this slide.

I'm glad you didn't do that.

You and me both!

Back when I was cutting down my neighbours' wind chimes in their backyard, my pulse must have been over 200 beats per minute. I wish I didn't have to do it, but I felt like I had no choice.

Had a neighbour across the valley who would play loud 80s female Country & Western full of cheap sounding synth-violins and lost loves who done her wrong. Its probably as well that Australia went with over-strict gun laws a while back.

How long had that person been tormenting you? A long time ago, I used to have loud neighbours. It lasted for about five years...

That's where I require either blow horn and loud barking dog, and I start playing the violin and I don't play anything.

I would advise you to buy a set of the biggest speakers you can afford, and an extremely powerful stereo amplifier.

I started pointing my speakers at the ceiling, turning my subwoofer all the way up, getting into my car and driving away, not returning for hours...

I am worried that people like us are more likely to lose any feuds that involve a competition over who can annoy the other person with the loudest noise.

I played ACDC back across the valley at her while she was outside. Haven't heard much since.

Wish that I could throw eggs at my neighbours door, but I live in an apartment and I'm guessing it wouldn't go well.
He's been away for a few days and the silence has been amazing (well, the T is there, but not much to do about that). Five minutes since he came home, and once again my apartment could as well be a jazz club. I've never had anything against jazz before, but that was before I had to listen to it all. the. bloody. time. Tried to shut myself in my bedroom but nope, his bloody music can still be heard.

Turn on the CD or turntable, crank up the amp, put on your ear protection, and get the hell out of there.

It would be so funny to do all that, and then just stand there on top of a hill and stare from the distance and wonder why nothing is happening... Don't forget to press Play! Find a way to do it remotely.

 

[Samir]

That's an innovative way to deal with noisy neighbours: make them busy doing things other than listening to music.

My thought exactly!

Cover your face. Also don't walk out of your house and walk directly to their house. Leave your home using the backyard door, and then circle back to pay a visit to your neighbour. Retrace your steps on the way home.

Wow, you are one pro bro Bill!

In certain light, I am a lot like the protagonist in the movie Death Wish!

This is an update on my original post.

Last thursday I made a post about my neighbor, who plays his awful music extremely loudly to the dismay of the other neighbors. A lot of people commented giving me advice on how to handle him, and what I should do about him. It was very helpful but I didn't have to use any of it thankfully.

So on Friday, he did it again, and he did it for an hour. I decided I've had enough of his music, and went shopping for eggs. That night I egged the hell out of his house. 24 eggs in total and was able to get most of them on the roof, with a couple on the sides of the house for good measure.

I decided to wait a few days before I wrote an update, to see if I would have to talk to the homeowners association. Luckily he spent all Saturday cleaning his house and I haven't heard him blare his music since, so I think he got the message.

It sucks that I had to go that far to get him to shut up, but he finally stopped. Goes to show that some people just won't learn until you deal with them the hard way. Either way I'm glad he stopped, the neighborhood is quiet, and I can put this whole ordeal behind me.

@threefirefour - you know - sometimes I'm inordinately proud of you !!
...hate to admit it though.....
(only kidding)
