B/T Noisy Hip Kids like you've described, and Buddhist Monk Like Hip Kids that make no noise and call the cops on me every time I watch a movie....THIS IS WHY I can't wait to buy a house.

Not just a house....LAND with a house in the MIDDLE. No other humans within 100 feet, at least. I will have a fence...a big, strong fence....and a dog...a very big, angry dog that patrolls the DMZ b/t the fence and the house.

And I will watch movies...no, I will EXPERIENCE movies at top-level volume at whatever time I want to.

Excuse me...I have to go touch myself now.

I share your sentiment, except expand the "100 feet" to "100 miles" for me, please :D Realistically though, I'd be happy with 1/2 mile. 100 feet may sound good to the apartment dweller, but in reality it's not much. Especially when the kids living in the house 100 feet behind you routinely have screaming contests... while running past your house to the kids' house down the street, said kids who have an endless supply of fireworks and a nonexistent supply of parents... argh, ok now I'm getting all unhappy and stuff :( Find a happy place, find a happy place...

You guys still talking about this? Oh well. I'm not going to shoot anyone, and how would they know its me? I'm pretty sure the guy isn't going to be in the same position after I peg him.

Yea, its a college town, I should move because I don't want to continue my education and can't afford to buy a house on my massive educational loans.

I let plenty of things slide, parties till 1, 2, 3, whatever. Its the weekend, but stay in your own place. After being shoved out of your friends apartment, maybe go back to your place or find another place to hang out, not the parking lot.

lol I've said it before, you're my hero.

That being said, the appropriate reaction for this case would have been to call the police, or failing that, file a complaint with your landlord. Your recourse depends in part upon the nature of the apartment complex in which you live and the contract you all signed when you moved in. If you can give us more info about that it would help us determine the appropriate action.
