what do you do about loud neighbors??? we've got new neighbors above us in our complex.. they've been there like 2 months maybe...

anyways, they are constantly having parties.. like during the middle of the week... and they are loud as all get out... stomping around loud efing music.. it's ridiculous...



if it's on the weekend i just let it go.. but most of the time its a weeknight....

like tuesday.. they had a party.. they were stomping around so hard it was shaking our light fixtures and our dishes in our cabinets... so i grabbed a broom and mop.. and just started hammering away at our ceiling...

noises stopped... 2 min later two guys (that don't live there) come down... "hey man, was that you makin the noise"... i was like "yeah it was me, it's 1 in the morning and ya'll are stomping around so much it's shaking our whole apt".... they apologize.. say some people are getting out of hand and they'd take care of it....

an hour later all the noises are still going on.. (mind you it's two in the morning) my room mate and i go up.. let them know it's still too loud and we were trying to get some sleep... they again apologize say they will handle it and the noise went to a minimum.. but still you could hear a lot of stumbling...


you'd think that'd be a hint enough for them to calm down a bit... realize they were being disrespectful....

but no... last night all this happens all over again... except i was already in bed when the noises start... me and kelly are woken up numerous times.... with her saying "call the cops" so again at 2 in the morning i get up... i go upstairs and just pound the sh1t out of their door..... the apt grows quiet... dude answers... this time i was not polite with him... i just say... "dude, do you have any idea how loud you guys are being?!?!? it's 2 in the morning!! i'm trying to sleep and you guys are stomping around right above my head!!!! this is the second time this week ya'll have done this, and i've had to come up here!!!! on top of that, this happens all the time and i just haven't come up here to say anything!!! THIS HAS GOT TO STOP! I'M TIRED OF IT!!!"

now, this was a diff guy.. he said he did live there.. he was like, "man, i'm so sorry.. i had no idea i'll make sure it stops" some one else comes to the door.. again someone i've never seen and he apologizes too... i tell them that i've been pretty cool about it.. i haven't made any noise complaints to the office, and i haven't called the cops... but they were pushing me pretty bad.....


so what would you do???? call the cops?? call the office???

i know they are just college kids trying to have fun...

and i know that in the future i may have a get together/party and we may get too loud... so i don't want to be that **** room mate who gets the authorities called out to the complex... because i wouldn't want my neighbors calling them on me...

i plan on trying to catch one of them outside one day and really talk to them as opposed to being in the pissed off state of mind... let them know it happens too much.. and that this isn't summer vacation time for all of the other residents.. some of us work for a living...

end rant...
