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.

If you want to be really evil and you have kids you should crank The Wiggles up to 11 and leave the house. Two hours of 'mashed potato, yummy yummy' will give them pause for thought when their next party rolls over into 3am.

Nah they absolutely deserve slipknot through the walls,

I'd put the speaker right against the wall, turned to face it and with the bass turned right up.

Ass hats.

Wood floors and some line dancing. You could request volunteers here....

Music
Hoovering, where you need to keep banging gainer the joining wall.
Putting pictures up.
Etc
Etc
But keep putting in periods of silence then back to it.
Make it last as long as their party did.

Just go round and knock the door until they answer and give them both barrels!
Also keep a note if the dates and times in case of further disturbance.

I believe Barney the Dinosaur on repeat is the way to go.

I would bloody do it!

Weren’t you planning on doing loads of DIY this morning?

@ChardonnaysDistantCousin but Celine Dion is awesome so that isn't punishment

You need to play some super loud.music to wake tough. Do a.spot of vacuuming. Drill.some holes in adjoining walls.
Do.you have any petrol garden tools. Today is a great day to trim hedges. Harbour your leafvblower and blow those leaves. Marches power washer? Hose down the patio/driveway/wash the car??

There is a barking dog video on You Tube as well. It runs for an hour.

Why not call the police when it's in the middle of the night?

The barking dog video sounds inspired, especially if you could have it playing through their letterbox.

I don’t think you should have suffered in —noisy— silence all night. You should have gone round there and told them to keep it down. 6am is taking the piss, and they’re not even thoughtless teenagers!

Since you’re up already, you should make the most of the day. Some hoovering and DIY, a bit of music to accompany your endeavours, and why not sing along too? It will uplift your neighbours’ spirits too, no doubt they’ll be feeling groggy, but a cheery blast of People = Shit will have them grinning along in no time!

I used to turn the speakers to the wall, put on Manilow Magic or 13 Lucky Shades of Val Doonican, and then go to the shops. Or sometimes dig out my old recorder and have a little practice. I can play Paint It Black but it took a little trial and error (preens).

It’s mild here today. Last grass cut of the year...

Next time (I hope not), pop in an hour or two after the noise stops, for a chat, just as they’ve gone to sleep.

I once had people in the flat above who played The Mavericks' Just Wanna Dance the Night Away on loop.

It drove me insane, to the point where I held a giant speaker up to the ceiling, belting out Rage Against the Machine on loop.

Made me feel better

Slipknot sounds perfect

In halls I actually made a vengance tape mix from my friend's ropier free Kerang CDs. The housemate on the other side of my wall lived loudly and was a spectacularly annoying Mariah Carey fan and liked to loop her music. My vengance tape was the perfect antidote

It's still lurking in a drawer somewhere, and I still have cassette players!

May I suggest a selection of Rammstein, Megadeth (Mustaine's piercing voice really gets through walls) and System of a Down? What they have done is against noise laws so get your revenge today in a legal and enjoyable way.

Christmas songs on full blast non stop

Play Slipknot very loud, I do when my neighbour piss me off. The new album is very good, off to see them in January.

Totally misses point of thread 🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻

Have you spoken to them about it?

Brass band music... something about trumpets and hangovers don't mix

Return the favour. I had a neighbour (Mr Twatty), who used to play music every day from about 6pm to about 1am. Sometimes it was still going on when I left for work in the morning. I could hear it in every room in my house. After complaining repeatedly I had to get Environmental Health involved. This improved things insofar that I only got a 1 hour “punishment “ from them at 10pm - 11pm. They returned to form after a few months. So I thought “fuck this shit” and borrowed some massive speakers. I turned them to face every party wall and when they started their music I blasted cheesy 80s music or classical music at them. Sometimes I just deliberately did it and went out for a few hours. They did not like it at all when done to them. Eventually they moved out. It helped that they upset a few other neighbours with their parking (they had nowhere to park but had an estate car and a VW camper and there’d be at least 2-3 friends cars). They didn’t give a shit and used to park over peoples drives.

Bollocks to being the better person. They need a taste of their own medicine.

Slipknot on loud downstairs, something equally lively and loud upstairs and go out for a few hours.

Then come back and have some very stern words with them.

Yabu. Don’t you know it’s nearly Christmas? Has to be Slade, George Michael, The Pogues, maybe even Bing Crosby (hardcore, me).
