Help me be the better person and NOT play Slipknot through the wall this morning!! Partying neighbours

[SaltedCaramelWithEverything]

Hi,

I just need to release some rage, so bear with me.

Our joining (new) neighbours have had two consecutive parties and last night went on until 6 this morning 😠 Loud isn't the word. There was no way we could sleep, so by about 3.30-4am, we put up the rock hard sofa bed in the spare room. Reduced the noise slightly, but it was still impossible to sleep.

I'm so angry! Why are people so inconsiderate?! I would never do this. Not as an adult anyway, which they are. 40 something I'd say.

The sheer volume of everything to me was a big f* you. They clearly don't give a shit if anyone is disturbed.

I know they'll be sleeping it off today and I can't tell you how tempted I am to interfere with that and make lots of noise. Not a good idea, I know.

We had a child free weekend and had plans today and this evening, but on 20 minutes MAX sleep, I don't think either of us have the energy to do anything, so will probably end up cancelling.

Rant over. As you were.

Fuck being the better person, even the score.

Fuck being the bigger person. Make as much noise as you can, have a nap, go have a fun evening and next time it happens call the council noise team out. I used to do this for a bar under my flat and they prosecuted them.

Haha 100 percent for fuck being the bigger person

@Baguetteaboutit, you are a bad influence 😬

Slipknot's new album is VERY good, to be fair. I think you'd be well within your right to play it loudly. Do you have any DIY you might like to get done today perhaps?

I would not be trying to be the bigger person and would be positioning my biggest speakers right against their wall in your position.

Oh this is bit how I thought this would go....

*not

Time to drill a few holes in the wall to hang Christmas decorations.

I'd put it on, turn up the volume, turn the speakers to the wall and go out for a few hours.

Definitely need to do some drilling and hoovering.

Do it! And download your local council noise recording app and send them over every single time they do it.

I’d be up at 6am every weekend day hoovering/mowing/drilling all with loud music on.

Slip knot followed by hoovering up against the walls, followed by a few accidental fire alarm set offs, perhaps enjoy some nice crispy bacon sandwiches for breakfast then set the alarm clocks to ring 5 minutes after you leave the house for a few hours maybe

Think that's a good start

Yeah I'm with the others, fuck it!

I would have put it on maybe an hour after they had finished, just to, you know, make sure they are away to sleep before waking them up . May make them think twice in future. Also maybe mix it up a bit; slipknot, rage against the machines, sex pistols. Anything that they weren't playing last night. Then shove some ear plugs in, have a cuppa and chill

I wasn't the bigger person when this happened to us regularly - my music of choice was Linkin Park, Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden on repeat with the speakers turned to the walls, I went out for the day. They never said anything to us but also didn't make so much noise in future.

I would be making as much noise as possible- as already suggested turn the music up load and go out for a few hours!

Use the alarm on your phone, set it at random times throughout the night after a big party,, turn up the volume and leave near their bedroom.

Go for a walk.

Have a screaming argument where it sounds like someone has been murdered and you could also terrify them

Hmmm I think you need some black metal not slipknot. Or maybe some cradle of filth :)

Or Celine Dion on repeat though the day. Loud.

I'd wait till they stop - probably all asleep - then put slipknot on - and start the drilling and hoovering, hammering. Nothing they can say at 7 in the morning after all 🤷‍♀️

Christmas songs on repeat. Especially Cliff Richard.
And hoover.
And sing along.
They will be trying to sleep now.
You must prevent that happening at all costs.

I do like slipknot.
Do you have hardwood floors that you can drop things on or a new bouncy workout you would like to try?

Sounds like a good day for some loud DIY alongside Slipknot but only in short bursts every fifteen minutes or half hour...just enough time for them to drift off to sleep before I wake them up again.

Slipknots new album is fantastic but for punishing obnoxious neighbours you can never go wrong with a bit of Lamb of God on full blast (and then pop out to the shops)
