Yep. Regardless of which era the world would always be divided into the very good and the very bad, those in between only play loud music or shoplift.

My advice, get out of downtown/east-side/riverwest/third ward, wherever it is that is hip that you live. Move west, but stay in Milwaukee if possible, and rent a flat -- upper in duplex, or something similar. Have many fewer neighbours, hopefully an owner-occupied downstairs (or upstairs), & not have to deal with any of this.

"If we didn't turn it down for the cops, we're not going to do it for you?"

My upstairs neighbor must work late night, cause for a while he/she would come home every night around 1:30am-2am, and proceed to walk 'heavily' in what must be steel toe boots. I swear, spackle from my ceiling would come off....and it would be pacing and pacing.

i let my doorman know, and he said something to the tenant and it never happened again!

my neighbors are still at it. I've been down there twice to knock on their door when the music has been really loud (with two fans a humidifier, the window open (on a downtown milwaukee street in front of a bus stop) and all doors shut (music is coming from directly below our front door) it shakes the pictures on our walls (it's all bass). When i've been down there they give me some shit and then go completely overboard and scream to their party that the neighbors upstairs are complaining and they complete shut everything down. When i go down there i merely ask that they turn it down a bit (typically because my wife has to work the next day)...or at least turn the bass down. Since the last time i've been down there they've continued to blare the music.

Other than call the cops (our apartment people don't care)...what sort of things can i do to annoy the piss out of them?

What would you do?

by the way....i'm their only neighbor near their stereo, so they'll know it's me if the cops show up.

i plan on getting up early tomorrow to knock on their door and thank them for the bass. we'll see.

I can't stand noisy neighbors. It sucks.

I've had a similar problem with my downstairs neighbors. They moved in a couple months ago, a mother and her 19 year old son.

For a few weeks in a row, apparantly when the mom's been out, he's had a bunch of his boys over drinking heavily, shouting, wrestling, and blasting music late at night. Usually on weekdays when I had to work.

I ignored it for a few weeks, and when it was on appropriate days (like the weekend, not fucking Wednesday). But it became a constant annoyance for a few weeks in a row.

I sure as shit wasn't going to go downstairs at 2 in the morning to "politely" ask a bunch of drunk teenagers to turn it down. I put up for it as long as possible, and then finally at another 2 a.m. occurrence (on a Wednesday) I just snapped and called the fuzz.

There hasn't been a peep since. If I knew there were adults partying down there nonstop for weeks on end, I would've been more inclined to talk to them. But the fact that it was a buncha young fucks who weren't even paying the rent disturbing me, the cops were the best solution.

Wait. I just noticed the bloody knife fight. WTF?

I just noticed it too, I wasn't sure if it was just added or not. So...WTF?

don't read anything into the title.


the bass has increased and i've pulled out my dad's old hunting knife.

i keep drinking.

Well, relax and come chat with us in my I'm Not Going Out Thread.

Hmm, I seem to recall myself also drinking and getting more and more pissed as the night went on. I finally decided on calling the cops! Seriously, there's only so long you can put up with it.

In my opinion, it's either that, or waking up super early in the morning and making sure they don't get any sleep. And all that's gonna do is cause more trouble.

no one is chatting....yet i keep drinking.....

i do have my softball bat as well. i could take a few fuckers out with that

Matt, if you think it might escalate to violence, you really should call the cops.

Matt's too nice, he'd never stab anyone.

i'm moving out at the end of Feb and i'm so sick of it that i don't care if i cause more trouble......but i'm also not that stupid and i'm good and drunk....i'm just going to let myself stew about this and go apeshit on the apartment mgmt tomorrow.

this is the closest i've been to causing a major disturbance. i've walked by their apartment 4 times in the last hour.

So are you gonna play Fantasy Baseball this year?

has anyone started the league yet?

i'll always play.

i think i'm the only back-to-back champion still

No, but I'm sure either Nacho or myself will start one as soon as Yahoo gets the baseball leagues going.

You win because you cheat and try to make trades with simpletons like Timmy.

fu opa. i didn't initiate the trade.


i got hosed.

oh jesus...

since this is a thread about asshole neighbors, you should talk about the tards who live above you.

i was offered a trade and i accepted. the league freaked out.

nothing to do with me.

f. u .

Personally, I believe any trade that Timmy is involved in should be reviewed by the commisioner before completed.
