I can't believe I didn't share this little nugget of how much I hate party people. I should be ashamed of myself.
I have these neighbors whose apartment is diagonally across from my bedroom wall, and it's all frat-boy types, DEFINITELY party people. Most of the time I ignore them, since it's usually a weekend when they party and the music stops around 1, pretty reasonable for a 24 hour city, right? The obnoxiously loud "dude" and "get me another beer" and "stupid slut" comments can get a bit irksome, so I try to send some loving energy into the universe... you know, "please God, let them inhale their beer and choke on it during the next sip" or "God, if you're listening, please make the STD-infested ho-boys go back inside where their 'sluts" are".
Anyway, a few weekends ago, I'm calmly and deeply sleeping in my bed. Go figure, it's 6:45 in the morning on a Saturday. Suddenly Johnny Cash comes blaring out of the party-people apartment. I don't mean I can hear an occasional twang of a guitar, or the muffled voice of the man in black. Oh no, I can hear it like Johnny just got raised from the dead and is throwing a concert in my fucking bedroom. I waited about 15 mintues, seeing if perhaps the dumbshit partiers would realize all their windows and doors were open, or perhaps realize the time, or maybe, just maybe, realize they were waking up the Governator over in Cali from the volume of this music. No, they didn't.
So what did I do? I opened my window, took a big deep breath and screamed "turn that shit off you stupid fucktards, it's 6:45 in the morning!" A little hatred goes a long way - the music wasn't turned off, but my bellow made it to their ears OVER the Johnny Cash, and the music was promptly turned down and I fell back asleep within 10 minutes.

Re: Neighbors
Thu, January 20, 2005 - 2:17 PMfirst of all. i hate loud obnoxious frat types. I lived next to a fraternity in college for a while. It was funny my balcony looked like right into the fraternity, and I could see them drinking beer and laying on their beds doing nothing most of the time, like the lame-ass losers they are.
Naturally, on the weekends they'd always play that lame music that has got to have the deepest, most obnoxious base lines ever. So yeah, i feel ya with the trying to sleep bit.
Secondly, don' you just LOVE screaming out your window when people overstep a line? it's so cathartic I feel like. It's nothing like being able to express your hatred and anger through some good old fashioned screaming at the top of your lungs so that everyone else can hear too. Public ridicule somehow is a nice revenge I'd say.
So Go Patti Go!! -

Re: Neighbors
Thu, January 20, 2005 - 2:28 PMIt was fun, I'm really gonna try to do it more often... my neighbors downstairs heard me and we laughed about it a few days later, they were glad someone yelled! -

Re: Neighbors
Thu, January 20, 2005 - 2:49 PMthat's so funny, maybe the whole neighborhood will catch on. ha ha ha and it can be one nice party people hating frenzy of screaming out your windows.
I also scream out of my window at dogs that are barking in the middle of the night or early in the morning... I know i probably wake up the whole neighborhood by my screaming, but it feels nice to release the anger that yappy dogs elicit within me with their incessant barking...
hmm...incessant dogs barking/fratboy barking, same thing huh?? -

Re: Neighbors
Thu, January 20, 2005 - 3:11 PMperhaps there's a correlation within the whole "men are dogs" saying?
I get pleasure from yelling at the yappy-dog owners also. I mean, c'mon people, are you DEAF, can you not hear the continual barks coming from your animal??? -

Re: Neighbors
Sat, January 22, 2005 - 3:17 AMha ha ha
i tried not to stare into their windows, since i was grossed out by them.
Contrary to the typical belief that fraternities are full of hot A&F College Athlete-type guys... the majority of frat guys are nasty, fat, beer bellied, crass unkept, meatheady type guys.
The few thin, trim ones that might exist don't usually last long like that cuz of all the beer drinking, and staying up all night...it ages you fast, and builds a belly faster than you can say beerbong and munchies....speaking of which--the munchies that go along with the constant MJ aroma from their house i'm sure don't work to tone their bodies or anything like that...

Re: Neighbors
Sun, March 6, 2005 - 11:59 PMThis world needs more people that have short fuzes and will yell out their windows at 6:45am to call people fucktards. A while back I had this crazy boyfriend who came over to my apartment and started fukken brawling with me just cuz I was dumping him (go figure) Anyways, after he destroyed both my cell phone and my land line so after nearly choking the life out of him I ran out of my apartment to THREE of my neighbors, pounding on the door to call the police. I even tried yelling "FIRE" like they tell you in those self defense classes. Anyhoo, long story short(ened) the ONLY person to call the police was the guy downstairs because he heard a bunch of thumping and he was a surley motherfucker, but he totally saved the day right? Right... cuz the po-po caught that trailer-trash motherfucker as he tried to flee the scene. -

Re: Neighbors
Tue, March 8, 2005 - 9:03 AMDon't you just LOVE the mentality that has pervaded the minds and hearts of people in the new millenium? You're practically dying, and can anyone respond even with a simple 911 call for you? No, 'cause it's all about "I didn't see nothin'". See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil. Fucking monkeys, we've evolved and grown a long fucking way now haven't we? -

Re: Neighbors
Tue, March 8, 2005 - 6:57 PMHey, I <if I could make that bold I would> wasn't dying, but yeah... I feel your point. He he.... I said I feel your point. -

Wed, March 9, 2005 - 8:21 AMShutup Beavis <SMACK> ;)
Oh, update for y'all... the same partying neighbors did it again this last weekend, at about 7:30... not Johnny Cash this time, I'm not sure who it was interrupting my precious beauty sleep Saturday. This time I wasn't the yeller, it was my downstairs neighbors. The music turned down considerably after the shouting included calling the cops. Then the big tough rooster boys started walking around outside with their chests puffed up looking for a fight. "Hey, who was that"... "why don't you come out here and face me"... "I'm a numbnut who has no identity outside of proving my masculinity through feeble attempts at white trash roughnecking". You know, the usual. -

Re: Neighbors
Wed, March 9, 2005 - 10:35 PMThe apartment across from me over in the next building used to house frat fukks and later sorority sukks. I could have done without seeing them walking around drinking beer with their fat bellies wobbling around. I knew I wasn't going to like them from the first time I saw 'em. I was used to no one living over there for a while and one day after my boyfriend and I had sex, I was walking around my living room looking for my PJs (my blinds half open) and loe and behold there were people on that balcony gawking at me!!! Fukkers... they used to play crappy music all the time, and when they played good music, they'd start singing along and well, it was fukking gawdawful. Anyhoo... yeah, neighbors suck. I want a house with a big yard so I don't share walls with strangers. -

Re: Neighbors
Thu, March 10, 2005 - 9:43 AMI probably woulda gawked too if I saw you and your BF having sex, but that's 'cause I'm a voyeur, especially when it comes to guys, LOL. I got lucky (or unlucky, depending on my mood), my windows face a blank wall... not so pretty on the eyes as far as scenery goes, but good for wandering around in various stages of undress. -

Re: Neighbors
Fri, March 11, 2005 - 5:53 PMThey didn't see us having sex, although... they may have heard it lol

Re: Neighbors
Sat, March 12, 2005 - 6:10 AMoh geez! that get's me kinda pissed to hear about these people.
It's so typical of them to play their music really loudly, and to disturb everyone around them, and then to get offended and try to start a fight, if someone actually tells them they're being lame inconsiderate bastards.

Re: Neighbors
Fri, May 27, 2005 - 10:41 AMI lived across fom a bunch of mexicans. No offense to the nationality, they were Nice people in person but, that being said, I really don't want a full blown mariachi band in my frikkin bedroom! Everynight and every mornig and in the afternoon..... Aiyiyiyiyiyiyi!!!!! 24 hours a day!!
Yippee.
And if you go ask these nice people to turn it down,(or scream it at the top of your lungs....) you MIGHT notice a tiny drop in the sound level. I'm not kidding when I say that I could probably sing along to their favorite cd. And they were two houses away! -

Re: Neighbors
Fri, May 27, 2005 - 6:48 PMMariachi music totally fukken sucks
No really, it fukken sucks.
I mean it's like, REALLY bad.
I was in this "latin" club in Vegas and like, they'd play some good salsa music and we'd all be dancing, and then they'd put some fukken mariachi or cumbia crappa, and the dancefloor would clear! Did the DJ get the fukken hint? Hello no! Fukken cocktease DJ motherfucker... Oh yeah, he talked WAY too much too. DJs are supposed to shut the fuck up and play music damnit!
