Ok, so my friendly neighbours upstairs are starting to piss me the fuck off! They've been clamping around their apartment for hours.. ive already responded with the obvious broom slamming into the ceiling but its not helping.

murder

digi · 11-28-2003, 08:20 PM

actually, they stopped as soon as I posted on GFY

Spunky · 11-28-2003, 08:20 PM

Put your speakers about 6 inches from the roof...tie them up with a harness...and crank the Luca song or anything from Madonna full blast for about a hour...either that will drive them out or they will get the hint.

Years ago I had noisy neighbors upstairs who would party into the wee hours of the morning when I had to get up early. So after complaining to the apartment mngt, and getting nowhere, I started calling the cops on them.

Turns out if the cops show up three times, the apartment can evict them wil little notice. I sure hope, after my third call to the cops and their eviction, that they are doing ok today

Demolish the stairs, board up their windows, cut the phone wires, set fire to the building

Get some powerful speakers with a min 500w sub (I recommend Klipsch) and put it on the wall then play some DJ Magic Mike (Feel the Bass) all night long...

DomBuyer · 11-28-2003, 08:26 PM

The answer is to remind yourself to never rent apartments that have humans above.

Years and yearsa go a roommate and I had that problem... we went out and bought about 20 lbs of incense and burnt it for several days in every room... about 4 sticks in each and kept it going. lol They moved within a month. It bothered us too but we weren't home much after we loaded up the apartment with the smell.

Nysus · 11-28-2003, 08:41 PM

My girlfriend's neighbours above her place have an obsession with "DDR" ... Some dance "revolution" game for Playstation (?) ... Anyways... After a polite letter to them they stopped because they didn't realize they were shaking the whole house... Moral of story, sometimes just letting people know you can hear them and it's bothersome is the best thing to do.

Cheers,
Matt

Get some raw hamburger meat and spike it with battery acid or rat poison, then throw it over the fence.

Why would my neighbours go outside, over the fence and eat raw meat at 11pm?

I think im gonna try this one, I got some incense laying around I think

"Dear Upstairs Neighbors,

As you may or may not know, I own a Giant Silverback Gorilla named BoBo that I rescued from being put down because he broke through 6 inch iron bars and attacked and killed 12 zookeepers with stun rods because they disturbed his sleep by making too much noise while repairing a broken fence nearby.

Lately it has come to my attention that you continually make a rather disturbing amount of noise and BoBo is becoming increasingly upset and grumpy. I fear for my personal health and for the other tenants in the building. You see, BoBo has a sleep disorder that causes him to get terrible headaches when his sleep is disturbed and that causes him to lash out at anything nearby that might be causing the disturbance.

This letter serves as my official notice that I cannot and will not be held legally responsible for your safety or for the safety of your personal property if you continue to persist in this noise-making. BoBo is highly sensitive to noise and for your own safety (and MINE!) I humbly request that you KNOCK IT OFF!

Thank you,
Your Downstairs Neighbor"

Man, I'd rather have the noise I think.

This idea appeals to me. I can envision loud people partying up above, and their eyes blasting open in terror as they bear witness to giant screws twisting up out of their carpet.

ooyeah I like that.

Hell, I don't know. They're your neighbors- why are you asking me?

Jon · 11-28-2003, 08:58 PM

You don't need to write letters or call the police..

Just take out those shotguns you've been saving for a rainy day, and practice firing some warning shots. Also, be sure to stand underneath the noisiest room. I'm sure after 5 or 10 mins, when the screaming (or tenants) die down, you will be left with nothing but peace and tranquility. Of course, it would be best if you swung by your local hardware store the next morning for some ceiling repair kits.

Murderous · 11-28-2003, 09:01 PM

10 guage shotty...

the only clamperin' around they will be doing is dodging those lead slugs coming up through the floor...

CDSmith · 11-28-2003, 09:01 PM

No seriously, the screw idea is sounding more and more like the one. What else says "there's a psycho living below us" than having one of your guest's get his foot pinned to the floor by 18 inches of stainless steel?

Turn your speakers up as fucking loud as they'll go and play Drama's "Left Right Left". That's what I used to do! There's so much bass in that song that they can't help but here you!

digi · 11-28-2003, 09:54 PM

hahha.. I just had a heart to heart talk with my friendly neighbour upstairs... I told him I'd stop slamming my broom into the ceiling if he stopped clamping around like a fucking elephant.

it helped

... for tonight anyway..

Only in Canada.

I remember the thread where someone from GFY spotted Dildozer outside on the balcony smoking - in his GFY shirt.

muchmoreporn · 11-29-2003, 12:13 AM

Ive nevered had a problem with my neighbours, once lived in china town and i would party outside every other night the kids in the hood would just dance to the music, cops drove by and never gave a shit, and everywhere i moved since never had a problem, thou all it would take would be a knock on my door and someone ask to politly turn it down, a broom at my ceiling, i would laugh at you and turn it up to a point where i couldnt hear the banging.
a couple stupid picks

just need to talk with the ppl, usually works best.. I gave the speakers to my brother for awhile, he has a lady upstairs that bangs to movies and when we talk to loud, i went upstairs to bitch at her and she wont answer the door, so she will get a taste of her shit falling off the walls for a few days. haha
he has 2 police warnings to uses up
