Hi lemmys! My next door neighbour is driving me crazy. They started at 10:30AM and you can hear them through closed doors and windows, and two brick walls. They have enough brain cells to understand “turn it down”. Any ideas to deal/screw with them?
Ideas like frozen pee through letterbox are also appreciated :)
Obligatory “local laws vary”.
If this happens once or rarely, I would ignore it. If it’s every day or every weekend, I would try to have a conversation with them if I felt I could do it safely.
If I were concerned they would react poorly to me talking to them politely, I would look at ways to report them anonymously and weigh that against the power/corruption of whoever I’m reporting to. That might be some city officials or the landlord, not necessarily the cops.
If reporting them is unlikely to help or might still cause unsafe reactions, then yeah, I would turn my own music up or get headphones. It’s better than dealing with a neighbor who has it out for me.
