I tend to get to bed late on a pretty regular basis but I’m talking midnight tops.
Last night I got into bed and watched a little of the boob tube before dozing off somewhere before midnight. I had the window open since it was so nice outside and inside was hot. I could hear the new neighbors and if I had the blinds open more I could see them due to the shape of this building.
Despite the neighbors I fell asleep until 1am when they decided to get a bit more rowdy. Ugggh what are they thinking? I’m irritated and shut my window.
I was able to fall back asleep but was woken again at 2am. I’m so tired, it’s getting hot in here and they don’t look like they are slowing down anytime soon. So I decide to take a hint from Mr. FBI Guy.
I walk out on my balcony and I can see one person is on the balcony with the door open and the others are playing some game inside. I refuse to get louder than them so I get my flashlight to attempt to get Mr. Drunk Ass’s attention. No luck until a dude and this chick walk out on the balcony. The dude says, “ARE WE BEING TOO LOUD?”
In a hushed yell I say, “You all need to SHUT UP! Most people have to work around here!” Along with a few other mumbles from me.
They got quiet real fast after that.
Normally, I would just seethe and try to get back to sleep. I’m tired of suffering due to stoopid people. I guess old age changes you and I think I like this change… So far.

Did you shake your fist and yell at the pesky kids to get off the lawn, too?
ReplyDeleteTake heart, with the nose dive in the temperature, you won't need to worry about open windows for a few months or so (ugh)... -- Joe
In a way, that sucks, but it's also good that they listened to you and quieted down. It means they have considerate tendencies and may think twice the next time.
ReplyDeleteNext time I'm feeling irritated at my heavy-footed neighbor upstairs, I'll remember that it could be worse...
I agree with Alex. It definitely showed that they do have consideration for others. Maybe they didn't realize they were being so loud. Hopefully they will be more considerate in the future.
ReplyDeleteOne of those 2 million candle power flash lights could come in handy here too. They now run about 20 bucks, and are annoying as hell if you're on the receiving end. Way more annoying than being lit up by the old cops strobe lamps back in the day. Most of them did not have the power of the modern variants. Cheers & Good Luck, 'VJ'
ReplyDeleteI would excuse the noisy behavior on Friday or Saturday night (not every weekend, of course) but middle of the week is out of the question.
ReplyDeleteJoe: I did shake my fists. How did you know? I was really hoping for these temps just to quiet them down.
ReplyDeleteAlex:Too true! I was kinda suprised they did quiet down. It could be worse but when your woken out your sleep it hard to be too rational.
Tish: I hope so too! I get the impression it's their first apartment. This is why I didn't tell management.
VJ: Ooohhhh I need to get me one of those.
Kilgorsky: I so agree and even said this to friends of mine but this was a Monday night.
I embrace my curmudgeonhood. I like to yell out my window, "You consarned kids stop that dadburned sidewalk surfing and read a book why don't you!"
