Bad Neighbour

I decided to start this thread a couple of days ago when I felt I couldn't take it any more. Take what? The noise my neighbor makes; I live in a block of flats like many of you I suspect. Living here isn't all that bad but every once in a while some of the neighbors start giving me hell; it's not something personal or anything, it's just that some family just bought the apartment next to mine and before moving in they decided it needed some improvements... can't blame him for wanting to improve his living conditions now can I? The thing is that this guy (or the workers that are doing the job) just loves to use a drilling machine and has been doing so for the last month or so on a regular basis. Around 8 AM I get a real rude awakening, the start work and for about a week the worked in the room that is next to my bedroom. Now picture this: there you are catching some zees and dreaming of some hawt babe and her girlfriend fighting over who should go down on you first... in other words bliss; then, all of a sudden the drilling starts and you jump out of bed (literally) and the next thing you know is that you're in the bathroom wondering what awful sin you have committed in order to deserve such a cruel and unusual punishment. This became pretty much standard in the last month and I can't take it any more! FOr the love of God who needs that many holes anyway? what is this guy doing, tearing the walls down with just a drill and perseverance? :wall: :violent:
I mean I respect the right to make repairs or improvements to one's flat but enough is too much! Luckily I'm not home during the morning and afternoon but fear not for the second helping starts at 18:00 almost on the dot and lasts for about two hours... And to make things better the "show" goes on even in the week end, same rude awakening in the morning and it goes on and on during most of the afternoon. This weekend The noise was so great I swear I could have fired a shotgun in my room without anybody noticing. Now for the cherry on top of the cake: yesterday a pipe came out through the bathroom wall just above the crapper. It only came through about half and inch but it made quite a hole and it got plaster all over the bathroom. Good thing I wasn't on the john when it happened... Now if that doesn't just beat all I don't know what does! Having a neighbor like this just makes me want to own a gun... :evil:
So this was one of my stories involving bad neighbors. If you feel the urge to bitch about the shit your neighbors do to you this the thread so let it pour! :lol:
 
Have you ever thought of, you know, asking the fellow not to start so early? Sheesh, man, they may actually respect that wish.
 
Buy a gun, force your way into his apartment, knock the mofo unconscious and tie him up.
Then rape his wife and daughter, making sure that you don't cum before he regains consciousness, so he can see how you spray paint his daughters cute little face with your man juice.
Then let his facialized daughter shoot his wife in the tits.
Then force him to shoot his daughter in her titties.
Then leave the state, change your name and get a new haircut.

No, seriously: violence doesn't solve stuff like this, it only makes it worse. If you say he makes noise from 8.00 in the morning till 8.00 in the evening, you should start making noise from 8.00 in the evening till 8.00 in the morning. Do your own improvements, knock some nice metal pipes through his bathroom wall as well, and see if he likes it.

Third option? Ask him if maybe a blowjob will make the horrible noises stop. Say 'Please, mister, pretty pretty please...' and go all puppydog-eyes on him whilst you lick your upperlip with the tip of your tongue.
That should work. :roll:
 
I feel your pain. I have undergone similar experiences on a daily basis ten years ago, when I moved into the apartment I currently reside in.

It pains me to say this, but there is nothing you can do. Buy good ear plugs or take alec's advice and do some redecorating of your own.
 
I tried to talk to the guy Sunday but there were only some workers there and they weren't all that willing to cooperate, well they sort of told me to stuff it but in a nice way :roll: . Can't argue with construction workers. They also said it should be done soon... then again there is no telling what *soon* means... and there are always other neighbors who might also want to play the construction site game :( . Sometimes I think the nightmare is never going to end...
 
then again there is no telling what *soon* means

Mate, I had similar circumstances with the people across the road. 7am on Sunday after a big night out with a killer headache, whilst jackhammers demolish an outhouse about 100m away.

Fuck it I thought one day, after a big party they had one night and kept me up AGAIN. So around 6am on Sunday morning, I got my airhorn and blasted into the front windows where I could see people asleep/passed out...

They didn't know who it was but it was funny just to see thier faces as the airhorn went off...

Childish I know... :wink:

But so sweet....
They are still redecorating but just during the afternoon; I guess it's as good as it gets.

Yeah, just make the most of it while it lasts, but hopefully for your sanity it stops now and forever...
 
When I felt my sanity slipping away I duck-taped it to a chair and put it in a closet! It's not going anywhere now! :crazy: There's nothing wrong with me! It's the leprechauns, they make me do bad things! :look:

That's awesome. I almost wish someone would do that around me so I have an excuse to whip out the air horn and go to town.

Tell you what: we exchange homes for the duration of the redecoration. Nice scenery, exotic atmosphere, meet new people, have noisy neighbors on wich you can use your air horn at your leisure... What say you? :lol:
 
with such unusual working times, they are probably working illegally, report them to whatever authority you think suits the issue.
But starting eight in the morning on weekdays is not early, seven is a normal time to start work, and if you're still in bed by eight you deserve a brutal awakening.

Kahgan, that post made no sense whatsoever.

No, I'm feeling it. I had nothing but contempt for people that went to work at normal times when I was getting up at 4 AM every morn.

I share your pain, I had early mornings, nearly as early as that (430) and it wasn't cool.

But after a week of going to college for my apprenticeship, it is so much harder to get up of a morning (around 6am), than 430, must be something to do with being further into some sleep pattern or something...

I dunno...
 
Yeah, I know what you're saying... last summer I worked at a supermarket and I alternated between the morning shift (6 AM to 2 PM) and the afternoon one (2 PM to 10 PM). The first metro leaves at 5 AM so I had to be up by 4:30... that sucked big time... I was in the clean up and I had to take a lot of shit from from the guys from security.... shit they have themselves a stick and a mace and they think they own the world... Plus I worked in the grocery department wich means sugar, flour and that sort of stuff, not to mention honey. You try washing a floor stained with honey while the customers walk all over it... Then the head of security comes by to ask you why the floor is dirty... He gives you a speech about the store's image and shit, as if care about his god damn store then he goes and tell my boss (the guy who supervises the shift, all he doas is walk around the store with a walkie talkie in his hand giving out orders) and the my boss comes down to give another lecture... that was pretty much the daily routine... after two months I felt like beating the shit out of the first guy who has something to say about the floor with a mop. Glad I got out of there in time....
Oh and ever try switching from the afternoon shift (you get out at 10 pm) to the morning one (you start at 6 am) so you have eight hours to go home eat, sleep and come back to work. Fucking A!
So I feel your pain brothers!
