I need sleep!!!

[peterh]

[Censored]ing hell!! Tuesday was the last day of school for some people, including my upstairs neighbour! They've been celebrating since 10 pm and are playing damn loud music! It's now almost 2 am and they keeping the whole building awake. Of course their main room is right above me so I'm getting the vast amount of the noise.

I've tried going up to talk to them but no one answered. I suspect they either can't hear me or purposly ignore me. I think there's been other people complaining before me, as there was a sudden decline in volume for about 20 minutes (when I actually thought they were heading downtown and I could get some sleep) and then suddenly they started playing louder.

I then decided to call the police because everyone here is awake due to the music. Unfortunatly, there's nothing to do as those upstairs are only upsetting people officially if their windows are open. So, it looks like I won't be getting much sleep tonight. I could try and go talk to them again, but I'm sure they won't answer me this time either.

I totally understand people being happy and wanting to celebrate but at the same time tomorrows a work day and people actually have to attend to things. Right now I'm in the middle of my very final assignment at school - a two month project, I'll be telling about later - and it's due in 2½ weeks. So we're very busy atm, and Tuesday I met in at 9 am, got home at 8.30 pm and had to work a few hours after that. So, I desperatly need my sleep if I am to do my best and I just ain't getting it. Luckily tomorrows a very short day (9am - 3 pm) but I'll have trouble focusing tomorrow anyway. This week is going to be hard enough already, as Thursday and Friday are Danish holidays but not for my group. We're going to work at the least the same 12 hour shift and I just need rest!

So, sorry to vent - I have a massive migraine and I just had to get some frustrations out. Man, I hope they'll quiet down soon...

wish i can help u out, Pete. u sure there is such a lame excuse as 'the window is not open so it's not a disturbance'? the police can be so lazy.

[peterh]

That's what the guy told me - if the windows not open, it's not public disturbance and something I need to take up with my landlord. I don't know if it's the normal procedure but since this is the final day on many schools, I suspect I'm far from the only one making a cal. This might just be standard procedure on days like these...

Anyway, it's quieted down a bit so I'm hoping they might be headed downtown very soon. as it is now, I might be able to catch 4½ hour of sleep - but I don't suspect it'd be good sleep since I have a migraine and the tinnitus is acting up

[janggut]

have a good, sleep, Pete. sorry it had to be like this. u take care, ok?

[peterh]

heh, I¨'ll manage....I'm just stressed and damn tired of that party! But...I think I heard them yelling about ordering a cab so It'll probably be quiet around 3 am !!!!

[Venom65437]

Wow, cops being worthless. I'm so shocked.

[Elliot Kane]

Aw that sucks!

I hope your wretched neighbours learn some manners, fast. And good luck with the dreaded project

[Galadriel]

Sorry to hear about that Pete, I hope they became quiet finally. I know how much that project is demanding of you. I wish you a good night of sleep tonight

[peterh]

heh, thanks people.

I finally went to sleep around 3.30 am and managed all of four hours sleep. I'm damn exhausted today but it's not as bad as I expected. I'm heading home in about 45 minutes and then I need some sleep!

And the project is going good. We've been doing some good work today and will hopefully get a lot done the next two days. So things are looking good !

[Alrik]

Get to sleep really EARLY today !

[Ubereil]

Call the landlord next time . Oh, and call the landlord about it today too. They shouldn't be allowed to do that, so complaining about it afterwards should rent them a warning that will get them thrown out next time something like that happens (if it happens. They might decide loseing their appartment just isn't worth it ).

And I'm glad to hear your project is doing fine .

Try another approach. Bring them some cookies or a fruit smoothie or something and make friends with them. Then ask them to keep the noise down.

If that doesn't work, hire a couple of actors who look like thugs.

Buy some yellow--police line --do not cross-- tape.

Break their windows with a rock. Then they won't be able to play their music without having the windows open.

Play out of tune music at full blast when they are home and you are not until they capitulate--keep your windows closed.

Place a hidden siren right outside their door.

Buy them tickets to some event that occurs until your exams are over.

Call their mother.

Put warpaint on and chant and play drums outside their door.

I don't know if this will help, because I live in Canada. And although our country has a tendency to do stupid things. Somethings they do right.

So they don't have their windows open, and therefore they aren't doing anything wrong. (disturbing the peace)

How about disturbing the normal functioning of the environment. (I have no idea what I just said, but it looks good so I'm leaving it in)

And if the above makes no sense, could you not band together with your neighbours and voice your concern. With the landlord and the police, and make sure the police right up a report.
(incident report) So that if it happens again, you can have that incident report and remind the landlord about his agreement. I don't think it's going to happen further, because they were just celebrating and it's probably out of their system now. But it could happen again, only this time it will be someone different.

Why I say this is because I know what it's like to work or go to school, only to have a neighbour keep you awake at hours you wish to be sleeping at. And not only that, I wanted to have you get to the root of the problem in the first place. (the landlord not the noisy people upstairs)

[LaFille]

Sorry about that, Peter; it sucks.

Poor you, if I had been there, I would have made you sleep; you maybe would have had a some pain and a new excrescence to the head when you'd have awakened, but you wouldn't have had that trouble at least... ;D

No need for violence there, Fille.

Your mere company would've been enough to make me fall fast asleep ;D

Just what are you trying to say here, Mea?

I can think of other stuff to do with a pretty girl in my bedroom, but I'm not sure Fille qualifies in that regard ;D!

Of course she wants me, thugh. All the girls do....*sniff* It's just that I... I... don't want them....*sob*

Yeah, that's it...*cries* .. I'm so lonely...
