The old dude upstairs is in some kind of scottish bagpipe band or something, and he practices for a few hours a day. Oddly, he doesn't play bagpipe music. Instead, he practices his marching.

In boots.

Back and forth.

Right above me.

My most creative idea for how to get him to stop so far is to call up Interpol and tell them some SS guy is goose-stepping around trying to relive his glory days.

Anyone have any other creative ideas? Perhaps something you've used in the past? Keep in mind that going up there and knocking on his door to ask him to stop is not at all creative.

(It's not really that bad. He practices during the early afternoon when my wife and I are both out. It's only because I'm off this week that I notice it).

borrow someone's baby and put it in front of his door and ring the door bell.

another one is to fill up a 13 gal trash can 3/4 full of water and lean it on his door - and then knock.

Ha, that one's pretty good.

There's the obvious "play porn really loud during the day" thing which might be fun for a day or two.

I just bought the 2.0 version :D

Oh,
+33 (0)4 72 44 71 63

That's a fax number, but you could always draw a pic of an annoying bagpipe player.

Follow him around downstairs banging a broom handle into the ceiling. Follow his footsteps.

This is great when he goes to bed. Just stand there banging the ceiling next to his bed until he gets pissed and confronts you. Then be all like oh sorry should I have been playing bagpipes too?

That's a good one too.

This guy is fairly new in the building (a few months), and I think I saw him in the laundry room yesterday. I wasn't sure it was him until he began using the dryer. I didn't *see* what he put in there, but it sure as hell sounded like a pair of boots.

I was like, what the hell? Motherfucker's always this loud?

Who puts boots in the drier anyway?

I've had trouble with loud neighbors in the past. There used to be a mexican family living in the apartment above and they'd chase their 2 year old around the house. I started following them with a broom but they didn't get the picture. I knocked on their door and asked them to stop but they said they have a 2 year old that they have to entertain and can't control. I gave them the what-for and told them to take their little shit OUTSIDE to play instead of locking him up in a crammed apartment full of 10,000 other smelly bastards. She didn't take too kindly to that, hehe.

They continued doing so and it became more frequent so I made a few phone calls to the property manager and they were gone in a month. The manager had to actually come down to my apt and listen to their noise and I'd been calling him for a month, but it paid off.

I can't say for sure that it was boots in the dryer, but it sure sounded like it.

I remembered thinking that I was going to get peace and quiet for the afternoon because of it. I noticed the loud dryer at about the time he usually starts, but sure enough, about 90 minutes later he started up.
