I had a problem with noisy neighbours from the people who lived above me in my old flat in Leicester. Was starting to get really sick of their loud music, shouting, crashing-about and general kn0bhead-ness, at all hours of the day and night
I wasn't much into the idea of playing them at their own game as no doubt that would have just been a war that would have run on forever , plus I have got more consideration for others than that ( *ahem*)
Doubt that'd have bothered them much anyway , they'd probably have seen it as a license to go even louder themselves.
I certainly didnt want to do that to the other neighbours, they were all sound, and more to the point some of them had kids so I wouldnt dream of doing that to them, its not fair.
I wasnt sure if reasoning with them would work either as they were young volatile arrogant types.
One weekend the noisy ones came back from wherever, blatantly steaming , and then proceeded to kick their own door in , and once in, blaring out music and I mean as in you could make out every word of the songs and when someone told them to turn it down, aggressively threatening "I dont give a F*CK- its my ****ing house, F*** off!" etc.. now for me listening to this was more irritating than anything else but I can imagine to some of the females on their own, or with little kids it could have been pretty intimidating to hear.
I'd be very very unlikely to get the authorities involved either unless it became absolutely necessary do that ~ not my style.
I hoped that they were just going a bit mad in a new place (as they were fairly young ,maybe it was their first taste of freedom away from home, who knows?) they'd only been there a few weeks, so was hoping they'd settle down a bit.
To be fair, we all do it sometimes, I know I did when I first moved in there.. it was party central
but it didnt matter as much as all the neighbours were friends of ours anyway and they were there in my flat with us!
I'm all for people having fun and even keeping people up all night sometimes etc.. im not 'victor meldrew' about it, just wished they'd have been a bit less aggressive about it all. :|
Saving grace was that I was about to move out in the next couple of weeks anyway, so let it slide. Not quite sure how I'd have handled it if i'd have stayed and had to deal with it tbh.
Probably: sit there stewing more and more and eventually erupted in rage and belted round there one day in mentalist mode, yelling and swinging a scaff bar about or something, lol :$
As they were young 20-something lads maybe I should've lured them into bed , tied them up, spread pedigree chum on their nether regions then fetched my mums rottweiler, held it by the collar very close to them and let the 'negotiations' begin........
Seriously... its a toughie.
Also, its awful if your sleep's being disturbed too
Unfortunately the attitude of some people these days its sealing your fate if you dare to say anything, your cards are marked :S
:| :
Good luck, and let us know how you get on
