set timer to start at 3 probly means can take shit out for drying when she gets up without it hanging around in the dryer, starting to think you are a terrible man for interrupting this flawless system
― . (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 5 November 2013 15:44 (ten years ago) link
i'm pretty sure all those tariffs have a cut-off around 9pm-ish so if saving money IS what they're doing then they are... waiting til 3am because otherwise the noise would disturb them ~>:(

Spanish prosecutors are seeking a 20-month prison sentence for a professional pianist whose former neighbour is suing over alleged noise pollution.
Musician Laia Martin is on trial in Girona after her family's downstairs neighbour, Sonia Bosom, accused her of causing psychological harm.
Prosecutors are also demanding that the 27-year-old be banned from professional piano playing for six months.
A verdict is expected within two weeks.

― iateeogenic illness (Nilmar Honorato da Silva), Thursday, 21 November 2013 12:26 (ten years ago) link
someone just needs to invent something that gets rid of sound from between walls. i've seen something that apparently you can stick to a window that uses noise-cancellation technology and blocks out sound from outside. whoever manages to do this for wall-to-wall will be a zillionaire.

He showers after getting up so the water pump can be noisy enough but nothing else
Some alchemy or other in the logic centre ive been lumbered with accepts showering as reasonable and washing machine as not and ive been sleeping through- tho the noise is prob not significantly less, idk.

It took us an entire year to get our noisy neighbor thrown out, which is amazing, considering that he was a squatter.
― Freeland Avenue (I M Losted), Sunday, 31 May 2015 16:51 (eight years ago) link
Can you sue local government if they won't evict a squatter who is making your life hell? Shouldn't the county evict him if he doesn't belong on a vacant property? Can we sue the owner for aiding and abetting a nuisance?

there is a particularly violent in-law, who when he visits my neighbours they manage to keep him outside the house. But the loud chatter always continues into the early hours - no matter how cold the outdoor conditions are. And they seem powerless to ban him, because he keeps returning and he is abysmal. I'm not a curtain twitching type, but my bedroom window is almost adjacent with their back door because of the hill our house was built on, and this show never seems to end:(

My neighbors aren't noisy but they leave a black and white pit mix outside 24/7 that can be. She's also started breaking out from the lack of attention into my backyard or into the front yards and tearing up my trash.
Talking to them has been pointless and it seemingly never happens when I can call animal control, so I've started just throwing the trash in their yard.

moved again since, note taken thus far tonight:
night sun 29th July
door being slammed in what can only be described as intentionally violent manner such that sound carried loudly through to other apartments loudly enough to prevent any chance of sleep.
repeated at intervals of c.5 mins from approx 23.50 through 01.00
i can only surmise intentional and vexatious due to frequency, the regular intervals between and the violence of the slamming (you could literally hear the run-up on each occasion).
unsure whether they were seeking to aggravate or provoke an adjacent neighbour, ourselves or genuinely undergoing a traumatic personal event (no noise of conversation or of any other kind throughout period save for the doors, no signs of others in apt, etc)

Upstairs has a plumbing problem. Everyone she flushes the toilet the pipes make a sound like the horns of Jericho for as long as the cistern takes to fill up, a couple of minutes. She must know this and yet still flushes every single time, even at 10 to midnight, 3am, whatever.

i don't care about noise so much because there is so much of it you have to learn to live with it. But this morning I got up and the arseholes next door had thrown loads of bottle tops, cigarette butts over the wall. They'd launched a plant pot at my bird table, breaking a corner off it whilst probably coked out of their heads at 2am. I went into shouty red mist mode and banged on the door this morning and dumped all the rubbish onto their doorstep when they didn't answer. Then totally lost the moral high ground by threatening to beat the shit out of the little twat that finally came out of the house. I know this type of behaviour isn't big and clever and often has very unsatisfactory outcomes. But it is a part of council estate life that usually ruins my mood for the day and is sadly necessary at times. But I hate turning into fucking Travis Bicke over stupid little thoughtless thugs. what a shit life it can be at times, and I'm not a strong enough person to rise above it all:(

it didn't feel like that tbh. I got that horrible feeling when you know you aren't being good and could do much better and you feel like you are adding to shittiness of your own world. But on the other hand fuck these arseholes!
Some cunt threatened me from a flat window the other week and I just calmly took my glasses off as they came running down for me, and then they totally shit out and backed off when they got near me. I think I'm a developing a misguided sense of badassness from that, that will probably be the end of me tbh :p

no look i spend most of my time in these interactions furiously imagining what im definitely gonna do to the cunts next time definitely and too much of that gets into your gut too.
think its riskier but maybe better to step up every now and again unless you do actually get killed which obv isnt an ideal outcome
