A note from my neighbor's girlfriend...your thoughts

[Loppfessor]

“Hi- Can you please turn down your music late at night and early in the morning. It has been going on for a while & the bass keeps or wakes me up. Thank you so much =)”

This was left under my door yesterday when I got home. At first it didn't really bother me but the more I thought about it the more it did. First off I've lived there over a year and half with 4 different sets of downstairs neighbors and never had anyone complain once. Plus it is in a female's handwriting so I know it was the dude's girl who wrote it and not him. He's lived there for almost a year now and never said anything about my music, and I've even told him "Hey let me know if I"m ever being too loud or anything" So basically this bitch that he's dating now stays over at his place all the time (parks in my spot a lot) and doesn't work so she is bitching about getting woken up in the morning. I dunno I'm normally a pretty reasonable person but the way I see it she doesn't even pay rent there so her opinion doesn't matter. If she's having trouble sleeping then she should go stay at her house.

[mikizee]

hmmm... an interesting one. the fact that she parks in your spot all the time, (ive lived in complexes and it really fucked me off when that happened) pretty much means she can't say shit. what time are you playing the offending music? she doesnt really have a leg to stand on. on the other hand, you dont really have to turn it down, but u could lower the bass a teeny bit using the EQ, and that will be every bit effective as turning it down. but i woild probably leave a note under the door, telling her not to park in your spot, and get a job, and start paying rent, and then you will turn it down. wipe a bit of snot or other bodily substance on the paper for good measure.

"Hi- stop parking in my spot and I'll turn down the music =)"

[Loppfessor]

Well I am only using some older Logitech speakers from my computer to listen to music. There are 2 like 4 inch speakers and an 8 inch sub. I had the bass set to like 4 on the little dial but today turned it all the way down. I wake up at like 6:30 in the morning to start getting ready for work which is the same time both neighbors downstairs are up. Now here is the problem or at least a slight monkey wrench thrown in the mix. All three of us tenants are in the military. The problem is that that I'm a lowly E-5 and he's a Captain. In personal matters such as this that really doesn't hold a lot of validity technically but realistically I have to use a certain amount of tact when handling this. The girlfriend is just some local German whore who is probably only with him cus he’s her ticket to a life of not doing shit

[miss_bhaven]

Hmmm.. Hard one! This chiq sounds like a killah snob... I'd try work something out with the dude, ask why it's any of the chix business whether u have ur music turned up or not, since she obviously isn't paying rent. But then he might ark up at u for dissing his girl. If that doesn't work, yeh...maybe turn down the bass just a tad, which will suck...but at least u won't have some complaining little bitch leave notes at your door every few days.

[Loppfessor]

I dunno I really don't want to be a dick about this cus the guy is actually pretty cool and has been a decent neighbor, but it pisses me off that SHE left the note. I mean why couldn't he?

[Kid Presentable]

Once again, a military man is driven to murder.

"Hi- stop parking in my spot and I'll turn down the music =)"
yeah really. everyone is saying this is complicated, why? Seems very simple to me.

I don't see why you want to act like such a dick about this, Lopp. It's a very straqightforward situation. You drop by and say, "Hi, sorry if you were bothered. What times do you think are too early or too late? Let's come to some agreement. Oh and by the way, I also find it bothersome when you're parked in my spot, so let's sort that out too."

Seriously, why can't you just deal with this like a grown-up, instead of some sort of petulant child?

The clue's in the question...

that's all you gotta say, man.

[Freebasser]

Punch her in her ovaries.

[jabumbo]

german whores don't have ovaries

[enree erzweglle]

I'd turn the music down. Her opinion matters.

Chances are that if you're disturbing her, you're probably disturbing others too.

It wouldn't matter to me who left the note. Someone's bothered by the music and that's what I'd deal with.

[ericlee]

Stereotypical JAR-HEAD with no respect for women...keep perpetuating that. (y)

hey dumbass, a jarhead is a Marine. He's a wing nut and there is a big difference. Fuckin noobs man..

Anyway Lopp, I'd turn it down because I know how difficult military housing matters can get. All it takes is one complaint even if you don't have your music loud and the shit will start hitting the fan.

[Sarky Devotchka]

nothing's more annoying than a noisey neighbor, just turn the music down. or do what peachy said.

[Monsieur Decuts]

I got a nice letter on my car the other day when I went to my underground..it said "move this peace of shit Jeep you asshole, you only get one spot fucker". Well I'm in a rather large area, but its only ONE spot cause its not big enough for two..but bigger than one. I didn't get a ticket for partking like i did, and they ticket everything (shout out to republic parking you dicks).

I wish this idiot had have left their name or had the balls to ask the front desk who I was. Not that i'd fight him, i'd just simply discuss the fact that its one space. People need to get out from under their ghey notes and talk like real people.

[Funky Pepp]

I think it's nice she just left a note and didn't call the police right away.
We are in Germany and you have no right at all to turn the music louder
than "Zimmerlautstärke" at any time ;)

P.S.: You have your own parkingspot? Snob!

[Chad the Lad]

maybe she aint told the captain at all, and is acting off her own back. maybe she fancies you and wants an aggresive argument, followed by rushed semi-passionate sex.

jus a thought

Thanks man...anyway we don't live in on base housing it's off base in a privately owned building. Anyway I don't listen to my music that loud or that late, that's what the problem is. Like I said before lots of other people have lived down there and no one has ever complianed. It's not like I don't hear his surround sound or them having sex, but I don't say anything cus it's not a huge deal. I'm pretty cool with that guy and if I did have a problem I'd tell him in person.

[TAL]

When I moved out of my last apartment the old lady who lived next door got surprised. I had lived there for 4 years and she thought it was empty. So I'm trying to be louder since I moved.

[hitmonlee]

just don't turn it down and wait for her to actually come and speak to you, or for the guy to leave a note or speak to you.

[ms.peachy]

What exactly would the point of that be? Other than just being a general douchebag?

[jeepgirl]

Tell her that you have a hearing problem, and you can't hear the music at a lower volume.

[marsdaddy]

My neighbor is a bore.

[buddylee]

turn it down , by not you look like a american a-hole . No wonder everyone hates the USA

[miss_bhaven]

I've had recently new neighbours move in and there is always cops rolling up at strange times of the night :confused: Kinda scares me in a way, but then maybe they're just mates with some coppers? Yet, some weird shit has happened since they moved in too. Loud, clattering noises around 2am in the morning that wake me up, and the sounds of footsteps running down the side of their house (since my room is right next to the fence that borders our house from theirs) Half the time I wake up shitting myself and running down to my parents room like a little frightened grrl :p

Read the whole thread there buddy....everyone who lives in the building is an American....and probably an a-hole too

[hitmonlee]

the point is that she comes and speaks to him about it so that he can say well you don;t pay rent, you park in my spot, and yet you want me to turn my music down??!?! and then he can explain how he likes to listen to music as he gets ready for work (don't we all) and she'll go ok, i can bear the sound of music for half an hour while you get ready, and i'll go back to sleep once you go to work.

or something like that :)

She has already made the opening gambit and initiated conversation by sending the note. Refusing to take any action until she comes to see him would be, as I said, just plain being a douchebag; standing on ceremony just tp prove some kind of pointless point about what a hard bastard he is. It's just fucking juvenile and namby-pamby bullshit.

[Ace42X]

Bingo, we have a winner.

[Loppfessor]

I talked to the dude today actually. He stopped by my table at lunch to invite me to his place for the Superbowl and to mention it might be kind of loud cus he was having people over. I told him it wasn't a big deal and asked how come he didn't just talk to me about the music thing? He said he didn't know anything about it and would check with his woman to see what the deal was.
