I think my neighbour needs help...

05-07-12, 10:46 AM

sounds to me like he has that desease that makes people blurt out curse words uncontrolably at times.

he obviously doesnt do it all the time so he must be on medication for it and my guess is the medicine wheres off around that time while hes asleep and he wakes to take his medicine to go back to sleep.

he may not even realise hes doing it in which case telling him can help him inform his doctor to adjust his medication.

just tell him you heard some hollering from his place and ask if he was ok, that way its up to him if he tells you anything or not.

either way he gets the message that he is having "episodes" in his sleep

Tourette's syndrome you mean? Could be.I would say if this guy seems fine in every other way it could be that he has Tourette's You say he lives alone that does in and of its self mean too much some people tend to be loners if he seems to have a regular work schedule he must not be displayed odd behaviors at work and if he goes to work regularly that means he has some control over himself.Without knowing much about him you cant say say for sure that he has issues like I said maybe he has Tourette syndrome or maybe he plays PC games late into the night and you are hearing his fit when he dies or something some folks will sit in front of a PC with little to no lighting.

I am pretty sure that people know that they have Tourette's they just cant control the sounds or little twitches.I have a cousin that has it and he will sometimes just say some random curse word or out of place word usually he says sorry afterwords.

The guy might also suffer from night terrors and he may be yelling in his sleep.

Go to your council they will sort it out. Years ago I had a pain in the rear end of a neighbour who was fined for his noise, once he knew I was not going to take his tripe he moved out not long after being fined.

The laws today I even more tougher on rat bags who just want to make everyone else suffer for their BS.

Go knock on his door ask politely to keep the noise down...
If say tells you to get stuffed or threatens you with violence then do as STEED says and go and see your local council.

Hope you get it sorted either way.

He's a Warcraft gamer and his healer just pulled aggro off the tank at the end of their nightly raid.

If he is having an "episode" - do NOT interject yourself. Catch him during the day sometime and say "hey man, I've been noticing a lot of noise about 2 AM. Everything ok? Sounds like your fussing at some chick and we don't want things to get ugly, so chill a little. If you need to take a walk or something, it might be best."

Yes, he may not have anyone there. Then again, he could be using the services of a local "entertainer". He could have a serious problem. This way, your not "judging", but putting him on notice that its been noticed. That way he can identify it as an issue and work on it or get it addressed.

Since he is stable at other times - it sounds like he is trying to keep himself "straight" - and if so a friendly convo on it is enough to help him do so. If it continues, then you go from there. But don't involved others until you give him the chance to sort it out first.

As far as I know, OLC isn't a pimp from a '70s movie.
