I Hate My Neighbors And I Want Them To Die

[Subnuts]

Hey, anybody mind if I vent a little?

I have the upstairs neighbors from Hell. And if I can't keep myself away from sharp objects, they'll be experiencing the real thing in a couple of weeks.

Who are these people, anyway? A bunch of shrieking, obnoxious, hateful, despicable white trash who do nothing but exhale carbon dioxide. Their dogs crap in our yard (can't wait to have a malaria outbreak right outside my window this summer!) and bark hysterically at everything, they rearrange furniture at one in the morning, and they have horrendous screaming fits that go on for half an hour (how many times can one person tell another to F&^k themselves in one minute). They're all so freakin' nuts that none of them have jobs and are currently living off welfare, but obviously aren't getting enough of since they're always bellowing at each about paying the rent, live off of McDonalds, don't bathe, and won't turn off their goddamned ghetto blaster until 3 in the morning. Yes, I'm trying to sleep, and all I can hear is DUM DUM DUM DUM DUM DUM for hours on end while I'm trying to recuperate and hold a paying job. Yeah, these folks are DUM all right! Not to mention that they're all so grotesquely overweight that every step they take sounds like a hydraulic ram going off.

Not only are they "DUM," but they're completely oblivious to the fact the ENTIRE neighborhood can hear them when their windows are open. My landlord has been trying to evict them, but to no avail. I was so royally pissed off at them last night that at one point I considered coating one of the steps leading to their apartment with cooking oil, or slashing one of their tires, or just SOMETHING to cause grievious physical harm to one of them! I know I'm supposed to take sympathy on these folks because they're from Michigan, which has been hard hit recently, and one of the sons is autistic. Whatever - they can all die in a fire for all I care. It's not like they've ever experienced even the smallest bit of joy in their lives, anyway.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to take some tranquilizers.

So...... have you spoken to them?

[GoldenRivet]

well ill vent with you

several years ago shortly after becoming married to a lovely young lady we moved into our first one bed room apt together on the second floor.

We had a crabby, bitchy downstairs neighbor couple probably 15 years our seniors.

One day, i was playing Splinter cell on the Xbox on one lazy, sunny afternoon.

There i sat, indian style in the floor, home alone in almost complete peace and silence, doing nothing in particular except sneaking the splinter cell guy stealthily and silently through a building when all of the sudden there was a very vigerous and emergency like knock at the door.

as we had only just lived there a few days i assumed some of my ass hole friends were the culprits of the intrusive knock so i answered the door.

much to my surprise, a woman i had never seen before, rather plump... perhaps 5'6" with short lesbianesque hair and overall drab appearance got nose to nose with me shouting obscenities about the noise coming from my dwelling which disturbed her as she lived right beneath me.

I explained to her that there must be some mistake, as i have been sitting there almost motionless for the better part of an hour enjoying a rather lazy sunday afternoon.

she wasnt buying it.

this exchange occurred several more times throughout my time there.

On two occasions she rushed to the managers office and brought them to my apartment complaining of noise and complained that i was not answering the door... GOOD REASON FOR NOT ANSWERING THE DOOR WAS THAT WE WERE NOT EVEN IN TOWN THAT WEEKEND.

i thought it odd that the manager left me a note on my door which asked me to stop by the office.

I did so, and was asked "so you had quite a super bowl party this wekend i'm told"

a bit confused i said "Sure... it wasnt bad i guess"

the manager then went on about how noise was not tolerated and neither was refusing to asnwer the door about noise complaints.

i explained that my super bowl party was being conducted "over 90 miles East of here, nobody was home in my unit all weekend."

when asked if i had proof, i produced several receipts which placed me purchasing party supplies (soft drinks, chips, ice, gas, food etc) over a 3 day period in Shreveport Louisiana.

the manager looked the receipts over and said "nobody was in your unit all weekend?" to which i replied "not unless i was being robbed... and nothing is missing or out of place... so no, the place was divoid of activity for the past 36 hours minimum."

i was told to disregard the complaint and try to appease the downstairs neighbor in the future.

however a few days later the neighbor came up to my unit again complaining of noise. "it sounds like you guys are up here doing @#&^ jumping jacks!!!" she screamed at my face.

"Ma'am we were in a dead sleep... i cant imagine what sound it is you are possibly hearing but i can promise you my snoring doesnt sound like jumping jacks... you probably shouldnt come running up here beating my GD MF'n door down every single time your dumb ass hear a little bump."

i proceeded to slam the door in her face knowing i was moving out in a week anyway.

i never saw or heard from her again.

neighbors in apartment areas are a real pain

[Task Force]

.... ok...

Ive had neigbors worse than that...

1 distroyed my pool with trash/soda/ect

2 distroyed my trampoline (isnt that how ya spelled it.) by launching a small fireworks in the middle of it (putting a hole in it.)

3 Jumping are fence to get the sh*t they throw in are yard back.

4 Turning every kid in the neigborhood against me...

5 Always bi**hing and complaining.

6 Distroying are fence, by means of jumping,kicking and hitting it.

7 Me and older brother getting in a fight. Me kicking his a** and makeing him cry on the floor. (He damaged my wrist though.)

But they moved... thank god...:DL

muh to my surprise, a woman i had never seen before, rather plump... perhaps 5'6" with short lesbianesque hair and overall drab appearance got nose to nose with me shouting obscenities about the noise coming from my dwelling which disturbed her as she lived right beneath me.

Sounds like the WOMAN THING!!! that use to live nextdoor.

Btw. they still havent sold there house. They are over priceing it like crazy.

[XabbaRus]

Living in apartments is a byach.

When I lived in Houston we had some neightbours seemed ok. Mid 20's twop girls, both extremely hot...and as a 15 year old guy well that was cool. BF seemed a decent guy. Anyway one night there was screaming and shouting and the BF hammering at the door (their door not ours). she was **** scared and I think she had locked him out. Anyway we called teh cops but she had left. Heard the BF say something how she was high or something. I think what happened was that he had been donking her room mate. Guy should have tried donking both...

[Platapus]

I sincerely feel for you all. I remember one time I had apartment neighbours from the black lagoon.

I really think that unless you have lived through impossible neighbors like this, you can't really appreciate the stress it causes.

I do hope you can get them to be a little more considerate. :cry:

Aye, what Mr.S said. Dont you have a law or something that forbids louds noises etc. at certain times? Also, I find it weird that the landlord cant evict them?? What's with that? :o

I was thinking the same thing! In Australia there are limits till what time you can have music and such going.

Maybe you could join the landlords fight to get them out???:hmmm:

[AVGWarhawk]

Been there and done that Subnuts. Our first house was a condo. The floors were designed in such a way that my neighbors living room was above my living room ceiling. We had a nice old lady who lived there. She moved out and that is when it hit. Parties until 0400. His balcony was over my patio. Spilt beer and puke after every part. Called the cops on every occassion. They would show and it would get quiet. After the tail lights went around the corner up went the stereo...these go to 11 Nigel:88) The party would spill out into the street and I probably heard more Tupac than I care to tell you about. Meanwhile my daughter who was 1 at the time could not sleep. The neighbor basically did not care. But you know, if there is a will, there is a way.....muahhhhaaaaa.... Nothing like firing up your Skil saw at 0700...just after my neighbor went to sleep off the nights activity:D Chainsaws sound great at 0800 and playing 80's music at 0900 at 100 decibles worked just dandy:D We would make noise all day. If I have to pay, he is getting to have to pay also. Eventually we moved out to a single family home and ended that crap. I feel for you man. You are really caught because you can not do a thing but ask and that often gets a door slammed in your face. I suggest finding another place.

I don't know about your tenant \ landlord laws where you all live.

Here when you can't enjoy normal liveing in your abode you can, legally withhold your rent till, the problem is taken care of.

The landlord and Property Owner work a little faster fixing the problem.

Firewall do not speak with forked tongue! My brother-in -law did that. His appartment was just over the the 'fix it shop' for the community. Old refrigerators and crap dumped there. The friendly rats show up of course. He withheld his rent until it was cleaned up and rats gone.

My situation was different. These condos were purchased homes. The owner rented his condo after he moved. So, I was kind of stuck with any a-hole that might move in and not really care about anything.

[SUBMAN1]

First thing - there is something called a noise ordinance. Call the cops enough times and they will be arrested and eventually evicted.

There is something called a nuisance animal ordinance for every area. I suggest you read up on it for your area. Basically you can have the animals forceably removed from the premises. Something as simple as excessive barking (more than a couple times) qualifies.

The point being - you have a lot more power in this area than you seem to know about.

WHich is why I said you need to read up on your own. Sitting out in the country with neighbors every 20 miles spaced apart probably lacks a noise ordinance. In city or rural areas, they all pretty much end up the same.

The entire state of Connecticut seems to have one though. Here is recommendation on how to win one in Connecticut:

NOISE LITIGATION DOCUMENTATION



Police reports. In order to prevail in any noise case it is absolutely essential to present independent witnesses at trial who can confirm that the noise was excessive and that occurred on a regular basis. While it is often frustrating to routinely call the local police department because they can not provide any long-term relief, it is nevertheless important to get the police involved and to keep track of every incident report number so that we can gather all of the police reports for use at trial.
Keeping a diary. The average wait for a trial in Connecticut is usually eighteen months or more. Memories fade, and it is very helpful for us in preparing the case for trial to have exact dates and times of when the noise takes place. A diary can be very helpful to us in this regard.
Enlist the help of friends and family. The defendants in noise cases usually claim the noise was not that severe, or was infrequent. The way to overcome this defense is to present many credible witnesses at trial, who can testify first hand before the jury about their own observations. Keep track of friends and family members who have witnessed the noise, and ask them to come forward if we need them at trial.
Check with your local officials about noise ordinance enforcement. Many towns have enacted noise ordinances which prohibit noise over a certain decibel level. If your town has such an ordinance they should have some enforcement mechanism, and maybe even an enforcement officer who can take recorded sound meter readings at no cost to you. These readings are extremely helpful to us in litigation as well, so ask for copies.
Take pictures of where the noise is emanating from. If the noise is coming from something that can be photographed, photos can be helpful in explaining the situation to the jury. Gathering as much evidence as possible is essential to prevailing in this type of litigation. Pictures can really be helpful.

Here is the Connecticut state law in regards to nuisance animals:

http://www.animallaw.info/statutes/stusctst22_327_367.htm#s363

§ 22-363. Nuisance No person shall own or harbor a dog or dogs which is or are a nuisance by reason of vicious disposition or excessive barking or other disturbance, or, by such barking or other disturbance, is or are a source of annoyance to any sick person residing in the immediate vicinity. Violation of any provision of this section shall be an infraction for the first offense and such person shall be fined not more than one hundred dollars or imprisoned not more than thirty days or both for each subsequent offense and the court or judge may make such order concerning the restraint or disposal of such dog or dogs as may be deemed necessary.
Not much in there about crapping on ones lawn. Good luck with that. Only thing you got on them is if they bark a lot.

By that much time I would've either moved or murdered all of them. :p2:

[Blacklight]

I had a similar experience. Me and a roomate moved into a downstairs apartment under a nice quiet old lady. My roomate and I valued our quiet and so did the lady upstairs. About a month later, she moved out and in moved HELLSPAWN.
This young woman, she looked high school age, had four children all by different men. Now the children liked to run. A LOT. Till 4AM in the morning ! It was like living under a constant elephant stampede that never ended. Oh.. but it gets better.
My roomate and I used to work the EARLY morning shift on weekends. Guess who would have a LOUD pot smoking, beer spilling, non-stop two day party starting Friday night and ending Monday morning ? EVERY weekend. Oh.. and she had the cliche'd requisite GIANT sterio system as well with the bass turned all the way up and they LOVED their rap and hip hop.
But... it gets better !
Every once in a while (maybe once every month or so), whatever guy she's dating (and it would be a new one each month) would show up at the apartment upstairs and catch her with some other guy. Then... there would be the fight... the shouting... the throwing things... police called.... etc...
During one of the parties, I went upstairs to complain. I knocked on the door and was immediately verbally assaulted by a bunch of guys who looked like they just stepped out of the bad side of a Spike Lee movie. Oh.. and this is great... We called the cops on them durring one party. After the cops made them shut the music off, they were stomping around angerly up there yelling "It was those DAMN WHITE BOYS downstairs !!" They also accused us of being racist because we were pestering them. The only reason we called the cops on them was because they were black and not because of their crazy pot smoking loud music party with the kids running around at till 4AM.
Heck... there was a fight at one of her parties and one of the guys stabbed another one and we had a fight between two "rival" gangs between her boyfriend/party people and a rial street gang out in our parking lot right near my car.
Even telling the landlord about it didn't do much good. No one was willing to do anything.
Because my roomate and I had blown our life savings on that apartment, we couldn't afford to move out till five years later. :damn:
Last I saw her, she was pregnant with another kid and the father was in jail. This was a pattern that her boyfriends tended to repeat a lot. 1. She'd have a boyfriend. 2. Boyfriend goes to jail 3. She starts sleeping with new guy while boyfriend is in jail and doesn't tell boyfriend in jail or the new guy. 4. Boyfriend gets out of jail and comes home and finds her in bed with other guy (They always tended to show up at 3-4AM too for some reason) 5. Screaming fight 6. Cops show up 7. Old boyfriend is taken away by cops. New boyfriend becomes main one. Go back to 1. and repeat.
The thing that killed us was when she constantly accused us of being racist. Yeah. Apparently we would have not noticed ANY of the above if we weren't racist. Yeah...:DL
Thankfully, I got married and LOVE my current apartment ON THE TOP FLOOR. :DL

[Tchocky]

Ah, last apartment I lived in was great, the girl underneath always had the Rolling Stones playing from midnight to 8am, great for going to sleep to. Always up for a beer or a smoke, too.

For the most part Schroeder, the cops where I lived did not want to be bothered with it. They were called on several occassion and not just by me. They would arrive say their stupid schpeal and leave. Once gone the party would start again. In short, they did not give a crap and did not want to be bothered.

Ah the joys of apartment living. Now you guys see why i'm looking to buy a house with some acreage.

[Onkel Neal]

Indeed, a house is a must. These days you can get a house cheap with low financing, too.

After my divorce, I moved into an apartment as a sort of self-induced punishment. After about 14 months, the apartment life succeeded in eclipsing the agony of divorce and I bought another house.

[Jimbuna]

Here in the UK we have the offence: A breach of the Peace. You must be caught in the act and refuse a reasonable instruction to conform. The penalties are small fines and of little deterrence.

Or you can call in the local Council (for Council house tenants) who will set up noise measuring equipment. An often long drawn out task, but the ultimate penalty can lead to eviction.

I think in the scheme of things and after considering all the pros and cons you have two simple choices.....have somebody 'sort it' for you or move.

[OneToughHerring]

You're like the Estonian version of Leon the assassin. :)

Subnuts & Blacklight, nice stories, kinda funny too although probably wasn't funny at the time. I have to say I've had some difficult neighbours but usually they haven't been due to the neighbours misbehaving as to poor buildings. If the walls dividing apartments are made of cardboard-like material they will not hold out sounds. If one has to live in a flat in a big building then the ones with proper stone walls, built in the 40's or 50's are best. At least around here.

Btw, I noticed you're both from Connecticut, neigbours by any chance? :)

[jpm1]

here in France in 2006 a minister asked for a report about the rest and the health the report's edifying about the importance of a good rest on the health . in fact it appears the rest is the basis of the health i won't come into details but it seems that the human body is biologically made to rest at night . concerning your problem don't know where you live but here we have the right to live normally , there's no particular law but you should live normally at home including , if you want , to watch TV or play internet games at night without problems , however if you live normally and still cause disagrement to your neighborhood it's up to the disturbed neighbour to turn against you or your owner and force him to make the works . if you have problems with a noisy neighbour you make an official (police officer don't know..) observe the annoyance then you force the neighbour or his owner to make the necessary works . normally there should be associations which take care of helping people concerning the logement , ask your working assistant she'll tell you who should be seen . You can try to talk to your owner too to see if you can reach an amicable settlement . Another thing i want to point out i'm sure you know it already but the main danger with such situation is to enter in hateful conflict with the person you have problems with you have rights just implement them

Man, if you're in an apartment, I would just move! That's terrible :cry:

absolutly agree but as Blacklight said sometimes you can't before monthes if not years

if you have any other questions don't hesitate to post :03:

I had worked as a security guard at my old apt. complex for 10 months. I have seen, cars stolen, bullets flying past my head, neighbors fist fighting, people having intercourse behind the dumpsters, people having intercourse in there cars, people having intercourse in there apt. with the blinds open. and one guy hacked up with a Samurai sword after him and his roomates had been on a meth binge for seven days and somebody thought he was the devil so they chased him slashing his legs, neck, arms for 300 feet before the guy dropped and was stabbed 10 times with the sword. Blood was everywhere and we had to use a pressure washer the next day to clean up the mess. I thought that there was no way the guy lived but 2 months later I met him. He will never be the same and will be on crutches the rest of his life. To hell with APTS!

Really, that is a side effect of being deep in the city, where most apartments are. I'm sure that if they made a suburb made up completely of apartments, there would be significantly less of that.

[kiwi_2005]

I have this solo mum move next door to me recently one night she turns up on my doorstep asking if i would mind coming over to kill the mice thats behind her couch she was practically half naked had a dressing gown on and i could tell she was naked apart from that. I do not find her attractive one little bit not even beer would help, in fact any woman that turns up half naked shouldn't be taken to serious more they're just easy sluts. Anyways i refused to go over and kill the mice and told her to harden up then shut the door :har: I kidd you not. Everytime i walk outside there she is :damn: starts up a conversation and just rants of about a lot of crap even when i walk away and go inside I can still hear her talking as if im still there outside! :damn::damn::damn:

Think that's strange few yrs back i had a professional prostitute move in next door and i must say she was a very nice person, not once did she try to turn up half naked as such and she treated me like a gentleman :DL I had a lot of respect for her and still do even though she was a high class prostitute she was very nice person. And no i never bonked her either! :DL

To #1 post, Sit it out thats what im doing with this solo mum sooner or later she will leave or get kicked out. If you can't sit it out can you complain to the landlord about them? He/She should have rights to kick them out. Here landlords can kick ppl out for any reason. They own the flats next door they can do what ever they want with their renters.

Edit:
I should add the landlord next door is that good with bad tenants that the last one before this solo mum he totally ruin their day. They refused to pay the rent right, he was pretty much patient with them too, it was always yeah sorry mate will pay next week i promise. It was into the 7th week of no rent he comes over to tell me don't be alarm tomorrow if you hear some yelling next door I knew what he was about to do but did not expect the way he did it. Next morning he turns up with two furniture removers big guys that looked like ex bouncers opens the door wakes them all up and gets the remover guys to move all their belongings out onto the road just dump it there. Few hours later their they were stranded on the road with all their furniture next to them. Lost and nowhere to go. One landlord that dont take any sh*t. :D

[Digital_Trucker]

You'd be wrong about that, sorry. You don't have to be anywhere near a city to find these kinds of activities in apartments. I'd as soon shoot myself in the head as move back into an apartment no matter where it is.

[rubenandthejets]

I haven't had any problems here in Japan. When you move in you go and take a little present to the neighbours, (almost) everyone respects their neighbours' rights to privacy and silence-except the non Japanese renters, who often think they are back home and have loud parties, play loud music etc.

Which is why it's really hard to find an apartment if you're a foriegner.

I have the upstairs neighbors from Hell. And if I can't keep myself away from sharp objects, they'll be experiencing the real thing in a couple of weeks.

Who are these people, anyway? A bunch of shrieking, obnoxious, hateful, despicable white trash who do nothing but exhale carbon dioxide. Their dogs crap in our yard (can't wait to have a malaria outbreak right outside my window this summer!) and bark hysterically at everything, they rearrange furniture at one in the morning, and they have horrendous screaming fits that go on for half an hour (how many times can one person tell another to F&^k themselves in one minute). They're all so freakin' nuts that none of them have jobs and are currently living off welfare, but obviously aren't getting enough of since they're always bellowing at each about paying the rent, live off of McDonalds, don't bathe, and won't turn off their goddamned ghetto blaster until 3 in the morning. Yes, I'm trying to sleep, and all I can hear is DUM DUM DUM DUM DUM DUM for hours on end while I'm trying to recuperate and hold a paying job. Yeah, these folks are DUM all right! Not to mention that they're all so grotesquely overweight that every step they take sounds like a hydraulic ram going off.

Not only are they "DUM," but they're completely oblivious to the fact the ENTIRE neighborhood can hear them when their windows are open. My landlord has been trying to evict them, but to no avail. It's not like they've ever experienced even the smallest bit of joy in their lives, anyway.

Their dogs crap in our yard (can't wait to have a malaria outbreak right outside my window this summer!) and bark hysterically at everything, they rearrange furniture at one in the morning, and they have horrendous screaming fits that go on for half an hour (how many times can one person tell another to F&^k themselves in one minute). They're all so freakin' nuts that none of them have jobs and are currently living off welfare, but obviously aren't getting enough of since they're always bellowing at each about paying the rent, live off of McDonalds, don't bathe, and won't turn off their goddamned ghetto blaster until 3 in the morning. Yes, I'm trying to sleep, and all I can hear is DUM DUM DUM DUM DUM DUM for hours on end while I'm trying to recuperate and hold a paying job. Yeah, these folks are DUM all right! Not to mention that they're all so grotesquely overweight that every step they take sounds like a hydraulic ram going off.

Not only are they "DUM," but they're completely oblivious to the fact the ENTIRE neighborhood can hear them when their windows are open. My landlord has been trying to evict them, but to no avail. I was so royally pissed off at them last night that at one point I considered coating one of the steps leading to their apartment with cooking oil, or slashing one of their tires, or just SOMETHING to cause grievious physical harm to one of them! I know I'm supposed to take sympathy on these folks because they're from Michigan, which has been hard hit recently, and one of the sons is autistic. Whatever - they can all die in a fire for all I care. It's not like they've ever experienced even the smallest bit of joy in their lives, anyway.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to take some tranquilizers.


Racism here not nice keep that for you man: despicable white trash who do nothing but exhale carbon dioxide

[Freiwillige]

Thats not racism since he is not targeting a race but targeting a certain cultural aspect of a race. White trash is a stereotype of lower class european decendants who usually but not always partake in one of the following.

Illegal drug usage, Crime, Gang activity, Rejection of ones European culture for some third world cultural influance. Lack of respect for authority figures.

I say lets stereotype, It saves time and is usually correct!:D

[Platapus]

A nice story of revenge.

When I was living in Utah I had these most inconsiderate neighbours. Music blasting at all hours. When I asked them to turn it down, they replied that it was their apartment and they had a right to do what they wanted. Great :(
Most of the time they just ignored my knocking. :damn:

My evil brain started assimilating pieces of data.

1. My inconsiderate neighbours loved football and often invited their friends over to watch football games -- rather loudly I might add

2. I lived in an old house that was divided up into apartments. My "apartment" was actually a hallway under the staircase. So my apartment was long and narrow (hey it cost only $140.00 per month). The wiring in the house was not all that great

3. Super Bowl in 1983 was between two teams I did not care for.

hmmmm how can I make these data work for me. :hmmm:

Seconds before the kick-off, I decided to vacuum my apartment, thereby scrambling the TV reception in the building. Despite the fact that my apartment probably was under 200 Sq Feet, you know, it took me about 3 hours to vacuum my apartment. I am a very careful cleaner.

I think I heard banging and yelling at my front door, but with the vacuum cleaner making all that noise I did not notice. :|\\

One has a responsibility to keep one's apartment clean and that includes the carpet.

This did not alter the behavour of my neighbours but I got some satisfaction.....out of having a very clean carpet. :rock:

[HunterICX]

:haha: way to go Platapus, I can imagine them pointing at the screen and going nuts:har:

[FIREWALL]

Sub standard wireing huh ? Wait till important play in game and turn on multiple microwave ovens with all lights and appliances going. :yeah:

[Platapus]

:haha: way to go Platapus, I can imagine them pointing at the screen and going nuts:har:

HunterICX

Gosh I hope I did not spoil their TV entertainment, I was *just* cleaning up my apartment. I would never want to be inconsiderate to my inconsiderate neighbours. Revenge is a childish and immature act. And would be wrong.

<innocent look>

[Kapitan_Phillips]

There is this house at the end of my street with a crummy dog kennel at the end of it; like a shack. Anyway this jerk keeps about 6 dogs in there, 24/7.

So anyway I usually sleep with the window open (I much prefer the room being cold) and I was merrily away dreaming about cakes and whatnot, when I was awoken from my slumber by incessant barking and whining.

"Not really a problem" I thought "They'll shut up in a minute".

Half an hour later, bark bark bark whine bark.

":stare:"

bark bark bark whine bark

So I leaned out of the window and bellowed at the top of my voice "SHUT UP!!" which earned me about a 20 minute reprieve, but again, bark bark bark whine bark

So up I get, I throw on the clothes nearest me, a pair of jeans and an old shirt. On go my shoes and I stomp out of the front door in the bitter cold and right down to this assclown's house.

<KNOCK KNOCK>

Nothing.

<KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK>

The door opens to reveal a middle aged scruffy looking git who was evidently blissfully unaware of the infuriating cacophany outside.

"Are those your dogs?"
"Yeah."
"They've been barking and whining constantly for just over an hour. Cant you hear them?"
"Oh have they?" he replied flippantly, giving me a look like he had just had an especially large pineapple forceably inserted into his rectum.
"Yes. How you havent heard them is beyond my comprehension at this hour, but rest assured that nobody on this street appreciates that <beep>ing noise, and your failure to do anything about it"

He then started to close the door, flipping me off in the process. I wrapped up by saying

"I have an air rifle in my attic, and if I get kept awake for an hour again, I'll go get it. And I wont be shooting the <bleep>ing dogs."

Anyway, long story short; people can be real ignorant jerks.

[Zachstar]

Strange I have to admit Subman is right but he is in this case.

You HAVE to call the police. If you don't because you smoke pot or something then don't bellyache here about it.

And frankly the talk of violence here is WAY out of line. Are you ****ing insane folks? Do you WANT the FBI knocking on Neals door?

Get the police involved. Get them to take reports and call them each and every time they violate local and state law. Eventually they will be arrested.

[antikristuseke]

Speaking of electrics and revenge.
I had ******* neighbours for a few months living bellow me, by that I mean even worse than me, if any of you can belive that. Anyway, long story short they had loud parties at random days while i was constantly working overtime and thus apreaciated sleep more than usual, had my work schedule been easier I probably wouldnt have minded. am quite a sound sleeper. After repeated atempts at reasoning with these dillweeds had failed I decided to **** with them a bit. Having one of the two keys needed to access the stairwell fuse boxes and a large suply of burned through 16amp fuses all 3 of theirs got inexplicably changed for burn out ones when they were away from their apartment. When they got back with another crowd of *****s wanting to party they found the apartment had no power so called an electrician. When that guy arrived, I had inexplicably lost the key to the fuse box and the only locksmith in town was at my place having a beer with me so didnt want to work that evening. :)

But being the complete dick that I am, it did not end there, for some reason, their fuses kept burning out on a regular basis after that, one of the three every other day or so. For two weeks. After that people did not want to party there all that much.

[Task Force]

:rotfl:Apparently they needed electricity to party.:rotfl:

[Blacklight]

Btw, I noticed you're both from Connecticut, neigbours by any chance? :)

I dunno. I live in Farmington now, but that evil apartment was in Meriden.

Anyway, long story short; people can be real ignorant jerks.

An hour later you are woken from a sound sleep by the noise of a forcible entry as your front door is literally turned into a few useless planks then the noise of half a dozen pairs of heavy boots racing up your stairs.

Before you can reach for your bedside light you are faced with the sight of your bedroom door coming crashing in nearly landing on top of you whilst lying in your bed.

Before your eyes can fully focus and accustom you with your immediate surroundings you are blinded by flashlight beams that have been intentionally pointed at your eyes.

Your next recollection is the feel of a cold metal object being pressed against your head and a loud voice shouting "Armed Police.......lie still and do not move".

You are then flipped over on your stomach and are totally helpless as a knee is forced against the back of your neck whilst at the same time you feel a heavy body lying across your legs and both of your arms are pulled tightly up your back and the icy feel of handcuffs caress your wrists.

An hour or so later at the local nick you are sitting in an interview room in only your underwear (or whatever you may or may not wear in bed) having learnt the salutary lesson of "never give an idiot the opportunity and reason to ring the Police claiming the guy at number whatever is claiming he has a firearm and is threatening to shoot me with it".

*************************************

You are almost asleep when you hear it. The insessant barking....barking...barking...

Dogs: "Bark...bark...whine..bark !!"


>Wait for dogs to stop barking.

A half hour later, the barking continues.

Dogs: "Bark...bark...whine..bark !!"


>Pull pillow over my head.

You pull the pillow over your head but the barking still penetrates.

Dogs: "Bark...bark...whine..bark !!"

>Yell for the dogs to shut up.

You yell but the window is closed making your voice only audible within the confines of your room.

Dogs: "Bark...bark...whine..bark !!"

>Open window

You can't reach the window from the bed

Dogs: "Bark...bark...whine..bark !!"

>Get out of bed

It's difficult but you struggle out of your nice comfy bed. The floor dips and sways a little. You are still feeling the leftovers of that party last night.

Dogs: "Bark...bark...whine..bark !!"

>Open window

The window is now open.

Dogs: "BARK...BARK...WHINE..BARK !!"

>Yell "SHUT UP !!!" at the dogs.

Dogs: "..."

>Go back to bed.

You lay in the bed and almost instantly, the dogs start barking again.

Dogs: "BARK...BARK...WHINE..BARK !!"

>Get out of bed

It's difficult but you struggle out of your nice comfy bed. The floor dips and sways a little. You are still feeling the leftovers of that party last night. You now have a raging headache.

Dogs: "BARK...BARK...WHINE..BARK !!"

>go south.

You are now in your living room. It is covered in beer cans and pizza boxes. There is a pizza slice stuck to the cieling. Exits: South, North

Dogs: "BARK...BARK...WHINE..BARK !!"

>Go south

You are now in the street. Exits: South, North
Dogs: "BARK...BARK...WHINE..BARK !!"

>Go South

You are on the doorstep of your neighbor who owns the dogs.

Dogs: "BARK...BARK...WHINE..BARK !!"

> knock on door

There is no answer.

Dogs: "BARK...BARK...WHINE..BARK !!"

>Kick door

The door opens to reveal a middle aged scruffy looking git who was evidently blissfully unaware of the infuriating cacophany outside.

Dogs: "BARK...BARK...WHINE..BARK !!"

>Talk to git about the dogs

You: "Are those your dogs?"
The git: "Yeah."
You: "They've been barking and whining constantly for just over an hour. Cant you hear them?"
The git: "Oh have they?"
You: "Yes. How you havent heard them is beyond my comprehension at this hour, but rest assured that nobody on this street appreciates that <beep>ing noise, and your failure to do anything about it"

The git flips you off and slams the door in your face.

Dogs: "BARK...BARK...WHINE..BARK !!"

>Threaten to get my gun

You: "I have an air rifle in my attic, and if I get kept awake for an hour again, I'll go get it. And I wont be shooting the <bleep>ing dogs."


>Go North

You are on the street in front of your house: Exits: North, South

You are now in your living room. It is covered in beer cans and pizza boxes. There is a pizza slice stuck to the cieling. Exits: South, North

>Go North

You are in your bedroom

>Scream

Before your eyes can fully focus and accustom you with your immediate surroundings you are blinded by flashlight beams that have been intentionally pointed at your eyes.

Your next recollection is the feel of a cold metal object being pressed against your head and a loud voice shouting "Armed Police.......lie still and do not move".
