I hate December

[milleniumgypsy]

Well, not really. But I've had some crummy Decembers recently, and the fact that Gramma died a few days before Christmas a few years ago always makes me sad around the holidays.

Something that is really annoying me right at this moment is the fact that I live in an apartment building. My neighbor is generally pretty quiet. Last December for most of the month she had friends over. They blasted club music every day. Usually starting at 10 pm, which is when quiet hours start. -_- This would go until the wee hours of the morning. At least the fact that she was keeping me awake all month didn't effect my work because I wasn't able to start work until January, but now I have a full time job with early morning hours so I will not be able to afford being kept up all night, like at all.

I talked to her about it, and her friends (who she usually hid behind) were just assholes about the whole thing. I wanted to kill her by the end of the month. We eventually talked to the apartment manager and that's when the club music finally tapered off. I'm not sure if they were spoken to or if the friends left.

Yesterday there was club music thumping thru my wall when I got home from work. It didn't last for too long, so I'm hoping she doesn't have her douchebag friends visiting again. Though right now there is REALLY LOUD THUMPING (boomboomboomboomBOOMBOOMBOOMboomboomboomboomboomBOOMBOOMBOOM....) of clubby music going. If she does the same thing that she did last year I swear I am going to kill her.

And if December is going to start meaning that I'm going to be driven insane by my stupid inconsiderate neighbor and her friends, then I'm really going to start hating this time of year.

Oh man, your neighbor SUCKS. I can't believe how rude people can be, especially during the holidays. Club music isn't even appropriate for December, ffs. I live in a condo building, and it's mostly old ladies and families with young kids, so there's very little loud music, but if someone did that, heads would roll.

At my boyfriend's apartment (he lived where there were a lot of college students) the people below him would do this until 3AM. It sounded like they were playing Dance Dance Revolution on crack.

Ugh, I hope this is not a preview of the whole month. I don't get how club music can be enjoyable in a small apartment.

I can't even stand when my parents listen to a TV loud. I'd probably hurt those neighbors. x_x

We had an insane neighbor in our former apartment building, so I can sympathize. He blasted music (composed by the guy himself, so it wasn't exactly an enjoyment in that regard, either) and movies (which I could actually recognize even through a wall) in the middle of the night every single weekend. He usually started around 10 PM, then stopped around midnight to go to the neighborhood bar with his friends, and then turned it on again around 2 AM and kept going until 8 in the morning. At first we tried to be polite and just simply went to his door and asked him to turn it down a notch.

Well, after we'd done that for several weeks and it never had any impact (even if we did it twice or three times per night), we started calling the police. That helped a little at first, but we figured that calling the police several times every weekend wasn't a long-term solution. So we wrote a letter to the organization who's renting out the student apartments in that complex. They told us that we should try to contact some of our other neighbors and ask if they were bothered by the music, too. We happened to meet the couple living upstairs to this lunatic and they agreed to file an official complaint with us. After three of these complaints (and after receiving three warnings), the idiot was finally evicted. But before that he remembered to spread out all his garbage on our doorstep, LOL.
