rhetoricfemme Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 This is in the lame board cause it's just me whining. But really?! I've gone over there on numerous occasions to let them know that their surround sound and whatnot is way too loud. And that whoever has the bedroom that backs up against my 10 month-old's bedroom needs to turn down the 3 a.m. television. Because I can hear the stinkin' dialogue half of the time. At the moment, Hubs is blaring the World Cup (which is fine, his version of blaring is still modest), the washing machine is going, and the neighbor's multimedia system is still winning in terms of loudness. I call shenanigans and believe it may be time to tell management. I don't want to be [i]that neighbor[/i], but they are being [i]those neighbors[/i]. So yeah. It's time.

rhetoricfemme Posted June 13, 2010 Author Share Posted June 13, 2010 ...I do have a violin that I happen to be out of practice on. And the strings need to be replaced. This could work out nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatherineM Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 I had trouble with a neighbor once. I got an old scratchy recording of Bill Monroe, and played it really loud, then went shopping. Their stereo was never too loud again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MIKolbe Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 there was this one 4th of july, in CA. The next door neighbors were partying into the street and into the night... lighting M80's, cherry bombs and the like... Peyton got so scared, she was crying. I went through the crowd, grabbed a beer out of one random guys hand...drank it on my way to the main renter of the house, and advised him the outside party was over. I finished the beer, handed him the empty, reminded him to recycle, and left. everyone went inside, and no more m80's were lit. Peyton spent the night in our room.
