Ever have an upstairs neighbor that you could NOT figure out what they were doing up there?
It's bloody worse than you imagined. :)
(Thankfully, I no longer have this problem. With the upstairs loons, I mean.)
Hammered wood splintering, bowling balls, and giant infant footsteps at any time of the day or night -what is going on??? :)
I have always had the same problems with Downstairs neighbors...
an apartment manager who refused to manage..coupled with a police department who got tired of complaints....and resuded to answer anymore pleas for help...in maintaining some semblance of PEACE... left me with nothing to do but to MOVE
I haven’t lived in an apartment since the mid 80s.
Lifes a real challenge in many buildings these days
I could smell the very pungent...WEED this poor puke was smoking..and hear that hideous hacking..cough far too easily
and the the skateboarding...yes skateboarding and the threatening the girlfriend a few times
I’m afraid if I lived in An apartment it would end with gunshots that everyone could hear.
Lefties who want to force everyone into the cities need to think long and hard about it.
In one location, I had a neighbor that was a ‘sports freak’. At the time I was working nights and week-ends to make ends meet. His (and her) habit(s) of yelling and screaming (oftentimes with company) during the Sunday sports games broadcast over the AM radio used to drive a steel spike through this tired brain, especially since I was trying to sleep at the time.
He did not know I was a trained Radio Tech. One day, I had had enough and built a very basic AM transmitter with a broadband dipole antenna. That next Sunday, when he tried to tune into his preferred radio station -or any others- I simply positioned the dipole horizontally so that the transmitted RF would be beamed directly upwards, overriding the local station’s signal.
The small transmitter normally operated on a couple of alkaline AA batteries, but I had modified the design to work off of a small 12V motorcycle battery instead.
He never did realize why his radio would occasionally be unable to receive any signals since whenever he would settle upon a station I would re-tune the transmitter to that frequency and blank it out.
I let him stew while I went back to sleep. After a few times, he simply stopped trying and I had a lot less stress in My life. :)
I love technology. *smile*
LOL!!!

Lol
We had the circuit breaker panel in our unit-it was labeled so well. During a couple of 1:00 am basketball games (at least we assumed that’s what it was) we would flip the appropriate switch and they were completely in the dark for a short time. Ended the noise instantly.
When I saw the headline, I thought you were complaining about Canada...
They're still annoying as Hell, but at least I understand what's going on now.
I thought the bowling balls were the best part -and they acted like they were on-stage about it! *snicker* Mild questioning equates to appreciation for their ‘stagecraft’ in their minds? *laugh*
*grin* Glad you could appreciate it. :)
ahahahaha thats the plan of the day!
I got by in around three hours a night for several months and I mean I JUST got by!
Well, your solution was effective, I admit, but you must admit the one I used was effectively untraceable. I improved upon the design over the years, I should tell you. *grin*
I had an apartment next to a couple retarded people who would beat the heck out of each other all the time. They seemed to be pretty evenly matched so I left them alone. LOL
What, Canada and not Newfoundland? You must not know many Canuks, mate. :)
