thats something i've been dealing for a fuckin MONTH now.
I live in a condo-like community (basically they're rentable condos, really nice area in the country, expensive to live here). Anyways, the older couple downstairs are retired, they're really nice!! Well, their asshole of a son, recently married to the biggest bitch I've ever met in my life, MOVED IN with them...yes...they're are newly married and moved in cuz the house they were gonna get was won by someone else who outbidded them. So, heres two grown ass people (theyre in the early 30's) with an 8 yr old son i never see, living with his parents...oh did i mention that they have PET RATS!?!!
anyways, for the past month, i've been woken up at 7am'ish by the guy playing a video game with the volume up really loud...accompined by a "GOD DAMNITT!!" and "MOTHER FUCKER!!" every 3-5 mins lol Oh then he throws something (maybe the controller?)
It took about 7 calls to the landlord and still no change....so last saturday, i called and BITCHED (im normally a nice gal)..i said ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!! So they sent out a letter and i think they finally got it yesterday cuz i've had a peaceful evening and morning for the first time in a month. NEVER underestimate how important sleep is to you!!!! I would cry at the drop of a hat, i was irritated and that started to test my relationship with my man of 7 yrs, then i gained weight a lil cuz my sleeping schedule was SOOO fucked up (i was getting up at 5pm sometimes) so i didnt feel like cooking so i went and ate fast food...) didnt feel like working..it was a LIVING HELL!!!
We are in the very begining stages of house hunting (we're signing a 1 yr lease this saturday)...i'd rather live in a not-so-nice house that is fixable rather than neighbors that are loud and such. So location is gonna be the #1 factor for me!!!! Neighbors can impact someones life dramatically. I'll never let it happen again as long as i can help it.
as far as your problem, wake up an hour before they do and start blastin your shit LOL
