My neighbor has turned into an annoying...

...little b**ch!

I am sitting here in my dorm listening to music at a ridiculously moderate volume and she keeps banging on the wall trying to shut me up like a little child. Quiet hours on this floor aren't in effect til 1am on a Friday night. I could damn well be blaring it right now if I wanted and there's nothing she could do, but I'm being nice and playing it at a low volume. She still keeps banging on the wall. What's worse, she blares her music to the high heavens during the day and I live with that and never complain. If she wanted pure silence she could've signed up for a farking quiet floor. So anyway, what I've been doing is turning it up a few notches after each bang on the wall. If she wants to discuss it, she can damn well knock on my door and talk to me like an adult. Did I also mention she leaves her bed against the wall when she's having sex? the bang-bang-bang gets annoying but I don't complain! I at least have the decency to pull my bed away from the wall. :|

Maybe I should bang back on the wall next time? ANyone else ever have party-pooping neighbors? I don't even care if we become worst enemies anymore. 🙂
 
Next time the bed starts banging during "happy hour" just yell back:

"Hey! You were louder with me last night!"

😉

LOL! Nice 😀
 
Haha, that's a great idea. Well, I think that since you have every right to turn it up loud, listen to it at a volume that you think would be 'suitable'.

By suitable, I mean eardrum-shattering and mind numbingly give you a headache loud. That, or just wait till she comes to talk to you.

Anybody good w/ pranks should be posting here 🙂 Help this man solve his situation!

Hehe, pranks...now that sounds like a fun idea 🙂 bring em on!
 
This only works if you have an early class or are willing to make the sacrifice of getting up early, but it tends to work well:

As soon as quiet hours are no longer in effect in the morning (8:30 where I go to school) crank your music. Nothing they can do about it and after a couple of times they will get the picture.

This worked very well for me when dealing with a very annoying guy who insisted on having loud parties well past midnight on weeknights. (Awake past midnight is very late for me, I generally try to be asleep by 11:30, but I get up early.)

sorry kami, I feel for ya, but your're Milton!

"I was told that I could listen to the radio at a reasonable volume between 9 and 11. I told Bill that if Sandra's going to listen to her headphones while she's filing, then I should be able to listen to the radio while I'm collating...?

That sucks though... I remember those days well. Except for me it was this girl that lived below me in my apt complex. Apparently my subwoofer was disturbing her. The thing is though, it was on at the lowest possible volume and it would be in the middle of the day.

Thank god I moved away from her... no problems so far. I've got cool neighbors now and we're all tolerant of each others' noise.

P.S. Maybe go talk to her and tell her to call you or come over when she has a problem with your noise. The girl below me used to pound on her ceiling (my floor) and it was annoying as hell. This is after me and my roommate had made a point of going down there and giving her our number and saying if it was too loud to just call. In this day and age, pounding on the walls is a little neanderthalish methinks.

More than likely these social misfits just don't know how to talk to people so they knock on the walls to avoid confrontation. That's my theory anyway.

Good luck with it. At least it's only one more semester.

"I at least have the decency to pull my bed away from the wall."



Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha................I don't know why but this statement strikes me as very funny...................
 
l2c, I used to be on fairly friendly terms with her. I'd smile and greet her when I saw her in the halls or in the school, but lately she's been giving me dirty looks. But I think you're right, next time I see her I will tell her to knock on my door or call me when she has a problem. I'll also bring up the well known phrase "you give a little, you get a little!"
 
the walls in this dorm building are like 1 foot thick and made of brick. The beds dont squeak or rattle or anything, either. 🙂
 
Damn i had a neighbor like that. It got to the point where managment had to laugh about it.
 
buy a nice, big subwoofer, aim it at her wall, and crank up something with heavy bass. that'll give her something to complain about 😉

i have the same problem with my parents, my stereo sits under the ventilation ducts in the basement, and they have such heavy bass that it travels through the house, so i constantly have them banging on the floor to tell me to turn it down(even if it's on the second lowest volume setting)


when it comes to pranks, especially noisy ones, make sure you don't bother the people above and below you as well, one enemy in a dorm can be dealt with, but 4 becomes a problem 😉
 
toph, i have a 10" Paradigm subwoofer...it can put out bass when needed 🙂 when she started banging it wasn't putting out much though...now its a different story. i believe she's gotten the picture since she has stopped for now. quiet hours start in 30mins so i'll stop then of course.
 
haha i was playing CS not even loud on a saturday night around 11 and my neighbor banged the wall. I just banged back like "wuh, u want summa this biatch??" 😀
 


<< Hehe, pranks...now that sounds like a fun idea 🙂 bring em on! >>



When she's not home, drill a hole through the wall under her bed, then when she knocks on the wall, light a firecracker and throw it into her room.
 
I always hit the wall back if anyone hit the wall 😀 we got in wall banging arguments, it was HALARIOUS!!
 
You could:

If the doors open into the rooms, penny her in her room. If thet open out, leave a garbage can half full of water directly outside her door.
Lube her doorknob.
Wait until she has her windows open, then paintball her. The paintballs break on the screen and (some) paint continues on into the room.
Get some sick pr0n, burn it to CD, and slip it under her door.
 


<< Hell, I say record the noise when she is having sex and put that on your stereo LOUD! >>




haha. good idea. of course ill have to approve it first.. so host it and ill sample the noise u speak of.. 😉

We only trashed a party once. That was when some college dudes in a house across the street from mine had twelve or so guests and were having a really loud party at 1AM Saturday morning. The noise level is even too loud during the day. My parents and our next door neighbor were both having problem with this extreme noise level. After they talked it over my parents called the police.

They dismissed the guests and party was quickly dissolved.
