🔊 Slam the door to awaken me? Prepare to meet my speakers 🚪
Living in a shared house in an expensive city can be challenging, especially when dealing with noisy neighbors. I have had my fair share of struggles with the person living above me, but I found a unique solution to my problem that has completely changed the game.
The Situation: Dealing with a Noisy Neighbor
When I first moved into my shared house, everything seemed perfect. I had a large room with an en suite, and it felt almost like my own studio apartment. However, my peaceful living situation was quickly disrupted by the person living above me. This little Napoleon-like Greek individual seemed to take pleasure in slamming their door every morning at 7am, causing the entire room to rattle. 🕰️
Confronting the Issue
At first, I tried to address the problem politely. I kindly asked my neighbor if they could refrain from slamming the door so early in the morning, especially since it was disturbing my sleep. Instead of respecting my request, the door slamming only became louder and more frequent. It seemed like a lost cause trying to reason with this individual.
Discovering Ear Plugs
Feeling desperate for a solution, I turned to ear plugs as a way to block out the noise. I tried several different brands and found that they were indeed life-changing. For the first time in a long time, I was able to sleep peacefully without being disturbed by the slamming door. 🛌
The Sound of Revenge
Despite my newfound peace and quiet, I couldn’t help feeling a bit resentful towards my inconsiderate neighbor. On the rare occasions when I was awake early enough to hear them leave, I noticed that they still made an effort to awaken me. It became clear that they had no regard for my comfort and well-being.
Embracing the Power of Speakers
With the knowledge that my neighbor was dismissive of my needs and comfort, I decided to take matters into my own hands. I realized that I had 600w speakers that were capable of producing sound that could be heard down the block. I no longer felt the need to restrict myself, as my neighbor’s door slamming no longer had the power to awaken me. 😌
Living Without Boundaries
With the newfound freedom to play my music and movies as loud as I wanted, I began to feel a sense of liberation. I no longer felt constrained by the inconsiderate actions of my neighbor. There were even times when I indulged in late-night activities, such as playing video games or having friends over until the early hours of the morning. It was a feeling of empowerment and liberation that I had not experienced before.
Clarifying Misconceptions
For those curious about the situation, I wanted to address a few important points to provide a clear understanding of my circumstances:
1. Limited Impact: My use of speakers was not a habitual occurrence prior to my neighbor’s disruptive behavior. I had initially relied on using Bluetooth earphones to avoid disturbing others. However, the arrival of my inconsiderate neighbor prompted my shift towards finding a new solution.
2. Isolation: It’s important to note that my living situation is unique. I do not share walls with other neighbors, and the layout of the house means that my room is essentially isolated from the rest of the living spaces. Therefore, the only individual affected by the sound from my speakers is the person living directly above me.
3. Empowerment: Ultimately, my decision to use speakers was a result of feeling empowered in a situation where my needs were disregarded. It was a way for me to reclaim a sense of control over my living environment and to not feel intimidated by the actions of an inconsiderate neighbor.
In conclusion, my experience with a noisy neighbor led me to discover the power of utilizing speakers to regain a sense of peace and control in my living space. What started as a disruptive situation evolved into a newfound sense of liberation and autonomy. So, the next time someone decides to slam the door to awaken me, they’ll be in for a surprise when they come face to face with the power of my speakers. 🎶🔊
What about the other people in the house? You are kinda being a AH to them.
Place about 10 grains of wild rice in a corner of his room. It will look like mouse turds. If he has his own bathroom, put a couple more by his toothbrush.
Then put old-fashioned itching powder in his bed. Not a lot… just a little. Think long and hard where, specifically, that itching powder should go on the sheets.
He’ll be so busy inside his own head he will forget to slam that door for a bit.
Yes THIS ⬆️ I’d suggest getting the dark brown rice, that resembles mouse turds 🤣
Ah yes the classic speakers against the wall/ceiling blasting music.
Had neighbors who used to fight & fuck. When they were fighting I’d play the Star Wars Imperial March, when they were fucking (loudly.) I’d play Ravel’s Boléro. (Hey it was the early 80s.)
Took one of them overhearing me tell another neighbor about my music choices to change their ways, or at least their room.
Napolean was Sicilian. Don’t f**k with Sicilians.
Unless you’re called Horatio or Russian Winter.
when you’re ready for the next step: subwoofer
Go find yourself some really old Cajun French music. Ever seen the Kate Hudson movie The Skeleton Key? Stuff that sounds like that. It will freak Napoleon the fuck out.
😂 good for you….![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|flip_out)![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|flip_out)![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|flip_out)
> I asked him kindly, like as literally kindly as possible if he didnt mind slapping the door shut at 7pm so it rattled my whole room.
So he did what you asked?
I believe you mean compunction. Just guessing! 😉
chicken dance on loop while you are away for a week not even super loud just loud enough you can always hear it
“Fuck you to everyone else in the house not involved in my imaginary pissing contest”
You could just hide a paper bag with rotten fish in his room, in a place very very difficult to find. Specially if he’s a messy person, it’s going to be a while til he finds it
YTA to all the other people in the house right now. So you have to think of what kind of housemate you want to be AH or no AH.
If you can hear it down the block, your other roommates can also hear it. You are just a different Napoleon complexed jerk in the same house.
I feel like the real revenge story is someone doing something to you for playing the speakers at 3am. Big difference between banging a door at 7pm and playing music that can be heard a block away at 3am.
You are both malaka.
Can you and the other housemates vote him off the island? If nobody likes him there, then send him packing!
My trick with bad neighbours was to get a sample of a Chieftain tank firing and use it very late at night. It only lasts seconds, makes a very loud boom and then I’d go to sleep happy in the thought that my neighbours wouldn’t go to sleep for a while. Once a month would do it.
Not quite the same but a work colleague has noise issues with his neighbour mostly screaming kids with the mother shouting at them in the house and in the garden and an overload TV.
He had a word without success so he put his speakers against his bedroom wall pilled blankets and pillows around them and played the alarm clock sequence from dark side of the moon on loop for twenty minutes at high volume
This I believe was at midnight. No response from the neighbour but the noise from them stopped.
That’s great. From what you have said, I would have gone the other way if he does always do the opposite:
Hey neighbour, you saved my job, bruh. I was really bad at getting up in the mornings, but you make sure I am awake at the same time every day by slamming your door so loud. My boss says you saved my job, so please don’t stop. Even better, I don’t even need an alarm.clock anymore, which is such relief to me, knowing I will not have any issues getting up now. Thanks for being such a thoughtful neighbour.
Once he knows he is helping, he will stop.
Heh ur neighbor would hate my 1400W 18″ subs…. Ofcourse i live alone and in the woods to not deal with people.
Waiting for the other thread where a guy is talking about how he keeps slamming his door louder and louder since his housemate keeps blasting music.
Slamming a door for 2 seconds vs blasting music for hours seems like a bit of an unbalanced revenge, plus he probably just puts on headphones and ignores your petty revenge anyways, or he would have done something about it by now.
