What would YOU do?

I live in an apt in Northern Kenfucky. Now...I know all too well how living anywhere but the top floor is a gamble and, ending up on the second floor this time, BOY did the dice not fall in my favor this go 'round. For the first month or so we were here, there was nobody above us so I thought we lucked out. Then some stupid fucks that let their dumb ass kids run around and jump off the furniture and who KNOWS what else ALL DAY moved in and it's driving my fiancee and I INSANE! I plan on leaving for the Marine Corps in January so we probably won't be here ALL that much longer anyway but my GOD it is annoying as hell. What would YOU do!?

I've talked to them 3 times and gotten A) not ONE apology, B) the LAMEST excuses ("Well...I have kids" was my favorite..."SO DO I!!" was my reply) in the history of apartment living and C) no change what so ever.

I've called the office to see if they can tell them to shut the fuck up and they said that, if it's not after 10 pm, there's nothing they can do!

As I sit here in my living room for hours on end listening to the olympics and refrigerator juggling taking place upstairs, I find myself fantasizing about the evil, violent courses of action I'd love to employ against them...but I don't...

What would YOU do to an annoying, inconsiderate, obnoxious upstairs neighbor? Few of my thoughts:

1) Blare Meshuggah or something similar to my heart's content. That would probably piss everyone in the BUILDING off though...it gets pretty damn loud...but it's not my goal to piss EVERYONE off.

2) If #1 doesn't get their attention, I can always crank up my Behringer 2x12. It's 120 watts and gets FAR louder than my stereo. This would surely lead to meeting some of N. Ky's finest quite quickly cuz it gets WAY loud. Not very effective.

3) Do like I used to do in an old, shitty apt and, everytime they're being noisy, I grab a ball or something and slam it as hard as I can into the ceiling until they shut up. This is a variation of the good ol' broom stick approach I guess.

Any suggestions?

Move out of Kentucky. That's your first problem.

If that's unfeasible, go with option 3. I had the same problem at my old apartment, nothing worked though.

Good luck.

Move out of Kentucky. That's your first problem.

lol...working on it...believe me. I'm from SoCal and I'm looking VERY forward to joining the Marines and getting the hell out of here. My fiancee is not. Here inlies the problem. We'll see what happens.

If that's unfeasible, go with option 3. I had the same problem at my old apartment, nothing worked though.

I would do this but I highly doubt they'd even notice. I don't know WHAT they do up there, but I can't imagine them hearing me punching holes in my ceiling with a broom...lol

Thanks!

Large subwoofer. Place it firmly on the ceiling and let it vibrate for an hour or so. Should do the trick quite nicely, and if you are good you can knock the pictures off the walls. If they have any.

Seriously, that's the first thing that came to mind...

I actually thought of that! I have a 4 x 10 bass cab that I have literally knocked pictures off walls, things off shelves and the like with and it would work reaaaaaaaally well...if it didn't weigh a hundred friggin pounds and/or I had a way to sling the bastard to the ceiling, it'd be on. I'm tempted to just crank the thing up anyway but it'd be a far better police-magnet than the guitar amp...

flamingbagofdogp00wns > noisy kids upstairs

True, true. I actually hadn't thought of that yet. Very well put, too. Will definately consider this. Especially since someone has been leaving bags of trash by my door like I put it there to take it out when I leave or whatever...which I'm guessing was them. I took it to the dumpster a couple times but I'm done with it now. The stupid office dykes put a note on our door about it threatening to charge us if we do it again. I called them and kindly informed them that it wasn't me and whoever complained about it was probably the one doing it. If anything else weird happens to my door, I'm going to get a small webcam and hide it in the hallway. Found one at the store for 15 bucks that I could hang out the top of my door and no one would ever notice it.

Wait till they leave to go to the store or something, then superglue their lock shut....(think "comming back with frozen foods")

Womens tennis with the volume cranked....("mommy, whats that?" :uhoh: )

Doormat with some carefully placed anti-seize coating....("I'll never get that out of the carpet" :evillol: )

Door knob with contact cement....(dayum kids :evillol: )

Anti-seize the backside of their car door handle...

or just a good old "If your trying to piss me off, we can just duke it out in the parking lot".....(they'll back off if they are conviced your psycho. :uhoh: )

Simple, drill a small hole through the ceiling and gas them while they are asleep. Then just pray that the cops don't catch you and that the next tenants are better.

That's awesome! :lol: It took me a second then I started thinking about it. :lol2:

You've been watching too many CSI shows :lol::headshake:

Is the unit above yours the same? You could consider asking the management if you could switch with your upstairs neighbors or change apartment units entirely. Usually people don't mean to be loud, but kids don't think about it and if the parents are not very responsible you won't get any relief by starting a fued.

Try other avenues... if you aren't going to be there much longer, you may just want to deal - but I know that can really suck.

Then again, I like the flaming poo idea :biggrin:

Good shit, man. The "Women's Tennis" one rocks.

I'm not going to be here too much longer but my girlfriend will be here probably till april or so so I'd like that 6 or so months to be as painless for her as I can. She already had to deal with the thought of me leaving for the longest military boot camp in the United States...lol

There's no way I'm going to move again before I leave for good. I HATE moving and, when I moved in here, I said that the next time I move I'm paying someone else to do it for me. Looks like I'm not even going to have to pay! The military will move us when it's time to go. :iceslolan

But, since I'm not going to move before I leave, I'd like to either get them to shut the fuck up (sounded like they just body slammed someone up there a few min ago...) till I leave or make their lives as miserable as they make ours while I'm here.

On my shopping list so far:

Superglue
brown paper bags with dog shit
a new Meshuggah or Lamb of God CD
tiny little web cam to watch my door

Oh...and, if I wanted to scare the bejesus out of them, it'd be easy...I own a gun...:naughty: I wouldn't do anything like that though...despite how much I'd LOVE to go make them poop their pants and walk on egg shells for the next 6 months, that's a bit over the line. Kinda like if I went up there with the intentions of getting violent or yelling or whatever, I gaurantee that'd end badly.

However...on the intimidation side of the coin, this does give me an idea...maybe my recruiter would be able to help me out: maybe a few Marines in full uniform pounding on their door in the middle of the night would make them a bit more considerate...hmm...

Get some heavy duty wire ties. Wrap one around a driveshaft or cv shaft (if they even have a car) and leave the remainder long enough to hit other parts of the car. Does no harm but will drive them batshit until they figure it out. Or loosen the bolts on the starter and shim it a bit. 1/4 inch should do, teeth will not engage with the flywheel.

Yup, I'm evil.:evillol:

Loosen the u-bolt. Always fun to do.

You don't like moving yet you're joining the military? Ya know they make ya move right?

Option 1 sounds good, but I am an asshole and have no problem in making my problem everyones problem when it's something that is avoidable and all other options fail, especially when they refuse to apologize.

My neighbour from next door came over shouted us beer and warned us that he's bringing his dog up and the dog barks. The dog is annoying yes, but he did the right thing.

The parents are not doing the right thing, and need the justice of Swedish heavy metal as their PUNISHMENT. muahahahaha.

Get a bigger stereo. My friend had the same issue with his old apartment. It shuts people up pretty quick when they get a taste of their own medicine.

Screw the Women's tennis - hardcore porn at full volume.

Or better than that, if your gf is home....encourage her vocal side and get a squeaky bed. And leave the window/door open so the sound travels.

:naughty:

^That might upset more people. the idea is just the upstairs. Not get kicked out because everyone wants ya gone, but it would be funny.

Oh this sound like fun.

Frankly the reason that managment wont do anything about it is because they are making noise durring normal hours. You do the same and make it unbarable for them.

I liked the idea of the porno tape. That will get their attention quick, but a much more anoying within the lines of war cause there are childeren around and there are rules against loud tv's and music would be to mount a sub to the ceiling. Dont play music but find a lower tone that makes your apartment resonate, this same tone sould make their apartment resonate as well. give it a little volume and everything in their apartment will start to rattle. The constant tone will also drive them mad very quickly. You can use a computer to create the constant sound. If managment says anything just say that your understanding was that it was ok to make noise as long as it all stopped at 10PM. Tell them your running a sound experiment for work and that it is part of your job but your within the guidlines of the apartment contract. If they say anything kindly remind them of the problem upstairs that they wouldn't take care of.

Just get a nice set of headphones for when your home...

skibum1111, good shit! I think they have a car but I'm not sure what it is.

The parents are not doing the right thing, and need the justice of Swedish heavy metal as their PUNISHMENT. muahahahaha.

I agree!! This is going to be my course of action next time they are up there being stupid.

I dunno man...mine is pretty damn loud...lol Plus, if that doesn't work, I can crank up the guitar amp, too. And if THAT doesn't work, I'll turn the bass half stack on and knock things off their walls...

Oh...and Damien, I worded that kinda wrong. I like going to different places and all that. The actual relocation part isn't bad. It's the physical moving of all that shit that I despise. From what I understand, if the military moves you, all you do is pack up and they load everything into a truck, drive it/fly it wherever and unload it for you. I can deal with this...lol

Do you remember a few years ago Scientists' came up with a tone that only those aged under 20 could hear?

You want to find that online and play it FULL BLAST. It won't bother any adults, management or anyone else, but should drive the kids nuts! Just find an MP3 of the tone online and loop it for a whole CD on repeat.

i recommend heavy ordinance. several well placed plastic explosives on your ceiling will bring their ego's diving down, all the while adding an extra 15 feet or so of extra ceiling height. It's key to have correct timing, try and calculate their daily schedules so that your strike occurs around dinner time when the husband is grumpy from filing taxes and the wife is complaining about their current status as a married couple will damn them both to an eternity of boredom. Its then that C4's ignite new and spontaneous emotions in dried out lives.

PS, do not under any circumstance turn off Meshuggah during the operation.

A johnny rebel cd works too but most find that offensive go the above choice of music. Or stink bomb them then go for a walk, as not to contaminate your apartment how to do this? Taco hell and cheap crappy beer.

PS, do not under any circumstance turn off Meshuggah during the operation.

ROFL!!!

I was blaring TOOL today and having such a grand ol' time playing Eulogy and reminiscing of the days of old in my highschool band that they probably could have fallen through my ceiling (through the giant C4 induced crater perhaps?) and I wouldn't have immediately noticed it...lol

For now, this is the gameplan my girlfriend and I have adopted: if they're loud, we're going to be louder. If someone comes to the door complaining, the first words out of my mouth will be "whice apartment are you in?" If it's anywhere other than right above me, there will be profuse apologizing and an explanation as to why I was blasting __________ *insert band here*...but, if it happens to be those inconsiderate cock suckers above me, there will be loads of laughter followed by my door slamming in their face and an increase in volume.

I wish I had a PA...I'd sing the yet-to-be-written song "Shut the Fuck Up You Loud Inconsiderate Cock Suckers" at full volume whenever they were annoying. It'll be a hit...keep an eye on your iTunes store...lol

Get some bass shakers and mount them to the ceiling, and crank them up. The best part about using them you can do it late at night just connect the bass shakers to your receiver, and nothing else.

The ear naturally declines in sensitivity in high frequencies, children may be able to hear 19-20kHz, whereas adults can hear 17kHz and under.

All that tone is the exploitation of that, and it's not hard to recreate. Just need a sine generator :p

Just go an beat them up. Screw loud music or flaming bags of dog shit. Nothing works quite like kicking the shit out of someone. I forsee me doing this to someone at work in the near future.

Never mind beating them up. Less hassle if you don't. Instead, superglue the door locks on their car, pull one lug nut off each wheel, put some liquid weld inside and put it back on. Then randomly let the air out of a different tire. If you really want to be evil, get the spare and weld a nickle over one of the lug holes in the rim. Then let the air out of a tire.

As a matter of fact, the Meshuggah, Tool, Pantera and Chimaira at rediculous levels pretty much all day for almost a week seems to have worked. They're moving!!! My buddy said, according to the neighborhood's website, that apt is going to be available in oct!

I also haven't heard the fuckers in a while so all is well here in 8128!

:-D

What's goin on, everyone?

So...today is more of the same. They're up there running laps in their living room or splitting logs or whatever they do so I turn on the radio.

After 10-15 min, the maint. guy comes by and says to turn it down. As soon as he leaves, I call the office. I didn't want to bug him...none of it has anything to do with him.

"You guys are going to come tell me to turn down the radio (which at that point wasn't even very loud) but you won't say anything to them making endless hours of racket? They are rattling my ceiling fan for God's sake."

"Well...we don't want to get in the middle of a neighbor dispute...blah blah blah..." Basically they said "yea, we'll tell you to turn the radio down but won't say anything to them."

"Ok...I'll turn the radio back on then." *click*

This is rediculous. I can hear their washing machine whenever they do laundry...I can hear whenever they vaccume...these things are no big deal. There's nothing they can do about it and I know this. It's no problem. But this constant clunking, running, jumping, thumping, etc for hours on end, so bad that it shakes my ceiling fan at times, is just intolerable and apparently there's nothing I can do about it.

This endless annoyance and the fact that my Sept rent check didn't go through (and I have no clue why...the money's gone and I don't know to where yet they say they didn't get it...) and they decided to let late fees rack up for over 3 weeks before telling me has made me just want out.

An annoyance is one thing, but that along with management that doesn't care and shady fee practices makes me want out of this place. Short of just leaving, is there any way out?

--Brent

Submit them to Nanny 911 saying it seems that can't control their children. Maybe they'll like the idea.

lol...that'd be awesome!

LOL, this sounds like an awesome idea. There's nothing that stresses me out more than parents that can't handle their kids. Seriously peeps, if you are gonna let your kids walk all over you, rather don't have kids!

It sounds like the kids have add. Need to be put on some meds to control there hyper activity.

become the hulk and rage at them

I would personally move out, hell, I'd move out of Kentucky.

I would personally move out, hell, I'd move out of Kentucky.

What's up, Poly? Used to chat with ya in the Turbo forum...been a while, though.

Check and check. Moving out of this apt in the next week or so. I got behind on rent (not even 2 months!) while I was out for surgery. I thought I had actually dodged the bullet and gotten the rent paid at the sake of my bank account, so I didn't think anything else of it until I I got a letter giving me ~10 days to give them a little over $1,800. I called them to try to work something out and they wouldn't do anything. I have no idea why they'd rather lose a resident rather than taking a partial payment and setting up a payment plan to get the people caught up. The ladies in the office are complete bitches, as they proved already with the upstairs issues, so I wasn't too surprised when all the bitch would say on the phone was "I'm not going to take partial payments" over and over again.

So now we get to move again. Which sucks. Oh well I guess. We're moving somewhere nicer and we'll be on the top floor so we won't have to listen to any olympics (as I am as I type this...) and we have friends in the new complex so that'll be nice for my wife while I'm at boot.

Move most of your stuff out and stay until the Sheriff forces you out. Don't forget to change the locks. :)

I've gotta see when we can actually get into the new place. The sooner the better but we may have to wait a few days or so. Then we'll be out. We haven't even gotten a letter about it or anything like that. The office bitch came by and pounded on our door "to see if we left yet" this morning. What kinda shady bullshit is that? Luckily my wife answered the door and not me or that bitch would have gotten chewed out...or worse. If someone comes pounding on my door, I'm not afraid to answer the door with my .380 in my hand. I won't let someone come barreling into my house...I don't care who it is.

become the hulk and rage at them

Hahahahahahahaha, this is hilarious, imagine doing that to your kids! I think my dad should try it with my borhter, lol

No What I would do is super glue the screws for the locks and put epoxy on the screw heads and also on the inside of the door handles. Will make it a biatch to replace the lock. Also squirt the super glue in to the key tumbler. I bet with the way the management bitch is acting, you will probably not see any of your security deposit back.

Top floor...hmmm. I can see it now. Some other member comes on here and posts," These people just moved in above us and boy are they loud! It sounds as if they are practicing for the Olympics or something. What can I do about that??" :lol:

lol...no way...if I'm being too loud it's because I didn't know I was. All someone has to do it come say something and I'll be quiet. I tried this multiple times with my ass hat neighbors to no avail. They just haven't adjusted to life somewhere other than their single wide yet.

:lol: You sound like an illegal immigrant... you stay in a place for free, and then cause trouble, and complain about the people that pay to be there.

You're fucking kidding me, right?

Screw the Women's tennis - hardcore porn at full volume.

I agree. That and a bananna in their tailpipe.

We're moving. I talked to a lawyer and he confirmed that the way they're handling this is nuts. Not only in their complete unwillingness to work something out but in their handling of paperwork. We got a few papers with our court dates and stuff on them...

A) The big shaded box that says "confirmation of delivery" or something like that is completely blank!

B) They said they delivered our initial contact...we never got it..."where did you guys put it?" "In your door." Real reliable means of delivery, huh? ROFL

C) No eviction notice has been posted as is required by law.

So I'm going to go to court on the 28th, tell them what happened with my surgery and how I tried to pay them and all and how we just want to leave now.

The papers should have been delivered with a proof of delivery, signature required to prove that you got the papers. It shows that the management bitches have no clue.

Wait till they leave to go to the store or something, then superglue their lock shut....(think "comming back with frozen foods")

Womens tennis with the volume cranked....("mommy, whats that?" :uhoh: )

Door knob with contact cement....(dayum kids :evillol: )

Anti-seize the backside of their car door handle...

or just a good old "If your trying to piss me off, we can just duke it out in the parking lot".....(they'll back off if they are conviced your psycho. :uhoh: )


I was going to suggest the lock one, but first you put a key in it, jam one in there then snap it off, THEN glue it shut.

Yea...the ladies "in charge" of this place are a complete joke.
