Upstairs Fucktard Asshats

Pearl, with her post today, reminded me to tell this story...

But before I begin this story, let me just say that I am really hungover today. If you will look at previous posts and Tweets, you will know that it has been WEEKS since I have been hungover, on a week day of course, and I sure haven't missed them.

Back to the story...

Our upstairs fucking inconsiderate college kid mommy and daddy paying rent loud ass pieces of shit from the bottom of my shoe neighbors are young. Everyone that lives there, and I say everyone, because I am still not quite sure who actually lives there, it is anywhere between 4-6 people...so everyone that lives there is 1) horribly clumsy 2) enjoys moving furniture daily 3) uses the hallway as a bowling ally and 4) enjoys all types of music. Loudly.

Last year we got together with are AWESOME landlords and explained that though HUGE music fans, I would be forced into slaughtering their upstairs tenants if something was not done about the musical instruments. I understood the agreement between landlord and upstairs tenants to say absolutely NO musical instruments. The upstairs tenants took it to say no ELECTRICAL instruments, so it is completely fine to play the acoustic guitar at 3:00 in the morning cause surely that isn't loud.

We have let them know it is.

We had seven (7!!!!) weeks of bliss from the week before Thanksgiving until last Sunday. They all left to be loud at their family's abodes and we enjoyed living in a home where I could sleep, peacefully, at any moment during the day or night!

THEN. SUNDAY. They returned. And returned they did. It was no mystery when they got home. The herd stomped upstairs, dog started barking and then the mother fucking assfucks started playing the god damn...wait for it...bongos. BONGOS!!!!!!!!!!!

Naturally the first visual I got was that they were all doing the Matthew Maconahay, doing a little puff puff give and all sitting around naked.

We let this go on for about ten minutes, in the hopes that they would SURELY realize it was 11:45 at night. On a WORK NIGHT. We give those college kids ENTIRELY too much credit.

I was wearing my typical mismatched pajama get-up, I had on a pink top that had cherry blossoms on it, looks terrible, most comfortable PJ's EVER!


My bottoms were some kind of flannel pants


And on my feet were flip flops...much like that dude above.

My hair was held back with an elastic hair band. I tried to provide as many visuals as possible, but the point was I looked a hot mess.

I walked outside, rang their doorbell, here comes some redheaded dude that I recognize from the house, but still, again, not sure if he lives there. He opens the door and he gives me a once over and I lean forward, stare him directly in the eye and say, "SERIOUSLY?"

"Ummm, sorry, we will put it up."

"NO. DUDE. SERIOUSLY! Do you see these? (I wave my hand over my body) These are pajamas. I SLEEP in them. I would like to USE them to SLEEP in. RIGHT NOW. It is fucking MIDNIGHT!"

How dense do you have to be?

We have knocked on their door countless times asking them to shut up. We have banged on the ceiling with brooms. We have called the cops on them AT LEAST 5 times. We have complained to the landlords. Nothing works. I sure do miss back in the day when I owned my own house. Those were blissful times.

...and an Ohhh emmm geee for good measure. LOL

I used to have an apartment up the street from a college and my next door neighbor's MUST'VE had a band because EVERY night I was screamin' out my window.

And every Monday avoiding puke piles and beer bottles on the way to my car.

Do. Not. Miss. Those. Days.

Dragon said...

That sucks! I have been realy lucky to not have problems like that in my place or the last place i have been in.

NorthboundToLoop said...

Oh man. I'm a college kid... and I live in house of 6... and we all play instruments well into the wee hours of the night. BUT we have our own house. And we're pretty considerate (aka no electrical instruments/radio after 11 so that our neighbors don't wake up).

In their defense -- it's college. Sleep doesn't exist. We're away from parentals = freedom. Music is relaxing (even if loud).

In your defense - they are totally being assholes considering how often you've talked to them. Play equally loud music at 8 AM - they'll be in deep slumber.

Jess said...

Deb - thank you for your undying support.

Tina - that is totally gross...and thankfully we do not have to deal with that.

Dragon - lucky indeed...enjoy it!

Northbound - so happy to hear that you are not keeping the neighbors up. Happy neighbors are awesome!!

I do understand the college thing, but I moved far enough away from the college AND picked what I guessed (incorrectly) would be too much to pay in rent for a college student ($1,200.00/month) so if they want to do all that 1) go live in the dorms or something or 2) go get their own house like you and your peeps have done.

I have considered duct taping a couple of 15" sub woofers to the ceiling and just leaving that on during the day when I am at work.

for this exercise you need:

* a knife
* a magic marker

1. draw a circle once inch in from the outer edge of the offending drums
2. pierce the drum with the knife and cut a neat hole along the corcle
3. make a smiley face on it and hang up on your fridge (or cut eye and nose holes, attach a rubber band, and use it as a mask)

i swear that my word verification was "forsatan".
i wouldnt make that up.

Jess said...

Just Some - I like it...oh, how I do. And as for your word verification...no more proof is needed that it was Satan who sent those little college bastards to live above me.

If you had just said "Bongos, acoustic guitars, and fucktards" I would have gotten the full meaning, same as all you wrote on this post.

Kill 'em, chop 'em up, run 'em down the garbage disposal. Nobody will miss them

Nail a piece of meat to their front door. The bloodier the better.

Pen said...

I once had neighbours like that. Parties all the time, loud music, sing star and screaming girls. I got up one morning t about 8am after they'd been partying all night and went out the back (nearest their bedrooms) and planed hardwood with my electric planer. It makes an unholy noise. You cant block it out. Imagine the noise a cat being tortured would make times 10 and youd be close (Note - i would never torture a cat. Just my neighbors). By the time I was finished, they were all awake and slamming around their house. They were quiet for a few weeks after that.

Note - you will need to issue your flatmates with earplugs before doing this

Monkey Outlaw said...

Dang glad I don't live in an apartment anymore :( so sorry you have to deal with this...

shane rocket said...

get a nasty fish and let it percolate a little bit, the get some of the fluid off of it. then go smear it under their doorjam, using gloves of course. mofo's. drastic stupidity calls for drastic meanness.

Jess said...

Mark - you are correct, I do not think anyone would miss a thing!

Capt - I will have to get the managers special at Kroger next time I am there...

Pen - I have officially become interested in all things wood and carpenter.

Monkey - renting has its perks, but this certainly isn't one of them!

Shane - this. is. GREAT! And they have a dog too, so that dog would be going NUTS at that door...ohhhhhh that is just wonderful...

Pearl said...

Your landlords should be ashamed. Big Willie and I (landlords) don't take kindly to that shit at all. Is there a "peaceful enjoyment" clause in your lease? Maybe not, huh? Can you stay home one day and blast something unforgiving (I'm thinking Ministry, Sex Pistols, something along those loud lines) toward the ceiling from 10:00 to 1:00 while you go out for lunch???

Jess said...

Pearl - the agreement currently reads that if they get the cops called on them again they get a $200 fine for each call.

The landlords are also having their first baby being born in about a month, so I hate to bring more stress on them.

I am hoping they move out upon this next lease renewal. Or graduate. Or all fall ill with the flu for the rest of the year or something. OR go deaf and mute. That would be AWESOME!

Simstone said...

I suppose that you could just shoot them and bury their sorry asses but I'd hate to see you take it that far ... unless you happen to be so inclined.

Jess said...

Slimstone - I suppose they can live another day.

LilliGirl said...

I think some REALLY LOUD mornings might just be in order...they have to sleep somtime, right?

Jess said...

Lilli - one can only assume...I will have to find out when that is and make sure I have some kind of symphony ready and up to play.

LilliGirl said...

just read your comments and must say that Dumbass & Rocket really are genius!

Jess said...

Lilli - indeed. Just think if all us people lived in a 15 mile radius of each other...the awesomeness would shine for miles!

Jen said...

LMAO...dude seriously!!
