My neighbors currently aren't too bad... though they are quite ghetto and their eldest daughter enjoys trying to hit her boyfriend with her beat up Infinity at 1am. However, I digress.
The neighbors I had in my last apartment were HORRIBLE. I was in a house that had been converted into 3 apartments; Basement, ground level (mine) and upstairs. I was sandwiched in between 2 Trinidadian families. The upstairs neighbors liked to fight at all hours of the day and night (because there were like 9 people crammed into a 3 bedroom apartment, I kid you not), and the downstairs neighbors enjoyed playing Soca music VERY LOUDLY at 2am (and later).
This one night I had just gotten home from a very long night bartending... it was about 3:30am and I was so exhausted I literally hit the bed in the clothes I was wearing and fell asleep. Not even 20 minutes later, my floor began vibrating and my whole apartment was filled with the sounds of two different kinds of music: Soca and Hardcore Rap. Apparently the son and the daughter were dueling it out over who's music would win. *sigh* Out of sheer exaustion, if nothing else, I fell asleep.... They paid for that the next day though. It was a Saturday and because they apparently stay up all night partying, were clearly spending the whole day sleeping. Before I left to do my errands, I put Anything Goes, Cabaret, Seussical and The Full Monty in my stereo on the highest volume it could go and on repeat.
Did I mention the stereo system I had in my apartment had Dolby Surround Sound?
Needless to say, we never had a music problem again.
