I had horrible neighbours once, they were loud disgusting and dirty. We lived in the ground flat of a converted house and use to get cockroaches constantly coming down from their flat. They were all men early 20s ad would play video games and watch sports through the night screaming and shouting, getting drunk. One day while cleaning up, I decided to put some music on, for some reason I decided I fancied a bit of rage against the machine, not sure why as I’m very much a pop Princess. Anyway within minutes there was thumping coming from upstairs, I’m guessing they were all dealing with hangovers after being up all night screaming at the tv. I was really pleased, even more so as my sound system, talking early 00s here was massive, id not even scratched the surface of what it could do, mainly as we lived in a 1 bed apartment we didn’t need to hook all the speakers up, that was until I finally had a reason. I spend the next hour getting ready to go out and hooked all the speakers up, turned the volume up and left with rage against the machine blasting on repeat until we got home later that night, about 8 hours in total.
Before anyone says about the neighbours, it wasnt the uk, houses were fairly spread out, our closest neighbours were a house full of stoners my ex got on with, they thought it was funny, apparently they sat outside watching our upstairs neighbours going nuts and storming out of their flat all day.
It didn’t stop them but it did make me feel good for a while. I did it a couple more times after they had been up all night, my ex was really into death metal so I chucked a few of his cds I couldn’t stand on and left them running.
