Wow! It’s just now around 9:00 here! Weird. But seriously, have you tried going upstairs and informing them how noisy they are? They may not realise it. Or, they may be racing aarvarks. Never know… ---

Pretty weak rant there **kputt**. ☹ Hell it coulda been some big damned orgy going on and you’re too lazy to find out. Maybe the place has some huge fucking cockroaches or it’s the law and they’re sneaking up on you…think about it. What else could it be? Kids going to bed, naw that’s too easy. The old lady beating her SOB husband for watching porno on the PC…yeah that’s it. She caught him having cybersex w/ some perv downstairs and he’s next in line soon as she cleans up the blood and figures out what to do with both of y’alls (err…their) bodies. 😃 ---

“She caught him having cybersex w/ some perv downstairs” Well, that would be me. I’m the only person downstairs. ---

Perchance, **kputt** , do you happen to live a few doors down from me – I think I have the curse of loud neighbors. At any rate, my sympathies are with you, and sweet dreams! ---

Well, I see you made it through the night and of course it was a joke. 😉 I wonder if she’s a doper too. Hmm, that’d make a nice little jingle I’m a doper, she’s a doper, wouldn’t ya like to be a doper too. Damn, it looks like I could use some sleep myself. Now back to the OP. What’s up? Kids, killers, musicians, dogs and cats, have you determined the origins of your problem and what to do about it. I can assure you it will probably not resolve itself. BTW, How long has this persisted? ---

just last night and sometime last week or the week before in the morning. Last night was horrible. They finally stopped around 11 or so last night. SO, I went to bed (finally could). Well, it took me an hour to fall asleep (which is normal), Then I had to wake up maybe 45 minutes later at 1 in the morning for a emergency bathroom trip. That took 15 or 20 minutes. I just got so lightheaded and stuff. Anyway, after that passed, I went back to bed, and it took me another hour to fall back to sleep. THen, my alarm went off at 5:30 (which was only 3 hours from the time I went back to bed). I reset my alarm to 7:40, and went back to sleep. I woke up around 6:30, but was able to fall back to sleep. At 7:40, I hit the snooze button twice. Suffice it to say, I woke up with the hugest “tired” headache ever. It still hurts. I hate nights like that. I believe the reason it takes me so long to fall asleep is because I have AD"H"D ---

How old are you? Not that it’s a big deal…or anything, just curious. ---

I had these really annoying neighbors once below me, they were constantly complaining about how loud I was being, and generally being a-hats about it. The thing that really got my goat was that I was constantly hearing them, uhm, having relations in the bedroom, yelling, fighting, and arguing. Their son enjoyed playing very violent, racist music (lyrics regarding killing policemen and members of my race) very loud. One time the fuxoring idiot got me out of bed to complain that I was “walking too loud.” (Not a nice way to wake up: some big guy pounding on your door, trying to be intimidating.) ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Guinastasia \* > \*\*Weren’t you the one yelling at us for bitching about ill-behaved kids at buffets? \*\* Yes, he was. He also already complained about his upstairs neighbors in [this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=202504) thread. And in that thread, as in this one, someone told him to go and ask his neighbors to quiet down. He responded by saying he was too tired. :rolleyes: **kputt** , lay off the whining. We’re all getting tired of it. ---
