Getting back at noisy fuckers downstairs
I live above another house who are the most noisy bunch of dickheads I have ever lived with. I've put up with people running up and down hallways, playing music really loud etc but these people slam doors and scream until 5am.
I've tried speaking to Security as the people in that house are impossible to even talk to. Sometimes I end up stamping my feet every time they slam a door, just so they know I can hear, and now I get a response. I was just thinking what do do as that doesn't work (which I didn't expect to to be honest).
Next to shooting them with my air pistol when they go outside, egging their windows, blowing smoke into their postbox to set the fire alarm off etc I have no idea what to do.
Assuming they go to bed at 5am, they will be asleep during the day, so I can play some loud-ass Drum n Bass, but they may not be asleep so I've no idea.
So, I know they could tell it was me who complained, but my entire house can tell, so what the fuck do I do to shut them up. It's doing my fucking head in. Just want to knock on their door and stab the cunts.

Stamping on the floor is just rising to their bait, so to speak.
If this persists you need to make sure all revenge is completely anonymous.
Speak to your landlord and say you refuse to pay rent until this problem is sorted out as you are paying for liveable accommodation, which has been disrupted due to the noise affecting your state of mind.
Maybe even go to a doctor and feint illness because of it. (in the uk you are entitled to be in 8 weeks of arrears before legal action)
I'm presuming you have been there longer than them so you are more of a priority to your landlord.
Even police involvement might help.
Speak to your other neighbours and get them on your side.
Go to your local CAB office, and call your local authority to ask advice, in the meantime write down everything that happens.
Find out who their landlord is and write to them.
If your perception that it is too loud the time of day matters not. It is better to call when it is a bit later at night though. So call the cops often as even the cops will tire of coming and you will have a basis for a case. As another said everytime the police come write down the time of day, what was said, action that was taken and who responded. This is valid in court.
Go to the police station and request to speak to someone who can tell you your rights. Write this down and it will also show that you attempted to resolve it.
Do you have other neighbors? If so they may be bothered by it. If some other neighbor calls and complains you will be golden in making it stop.
Once you have enough of a log of this then you can get into restraining orders, threatening to sue, etc. And if you really want to get to it there are a million other things to do before it gets to all of that. Cars pulling in and out often? Teenagers coming in and out often? Tell the cops that you are not sure but you think maybe they are dealing drugs. This will bump it up a whole lot and it can be anonymous.
revenge tactics include:
1= wait till they go out
2= go to the electricity box , open it, and remove the black main fuse
3= no power to play music, no light or heat, and best of all, its very hard to replace the main fuse, unless you contact the supplier, who then charges to put a new one in
1- Next time he's outside decide to "water" your plants with a hose and shower the bugger. Accidentally of course.
2- Take all your junk mail and post it through his letter box and claim the postman made a mistake.
3- Next time your child is out of the house put on really rubbish Music really loudly. If he plays music at night play it in the day and get him when he's napping.
Break his utilities
Shit on Doorstep
Throw your garbage on his doorstep
Play your own music rediculously loud
Pop their tires and break there windows
Fuck their kids.
put their hose through their letterbox and
turn the water on.
fireworks through their letterbox.
paint through their letterbox.
piss through their letterbox.
shit through their letterbox.
semen through their letterbox.
verbal abuse through their letterbox.
insects through their letterbox.
frogs through their letterbox.
small mammals through their letterbox.
porn subscriptions through their letterbox.
tazer through their letterbox.
blocking up their letterbox.
birds through their letterbox.
but the best method:

It's not just me, either. All my housemates get pissed off at them, so I know to try and keep anonymity high if doing anything. the shit thing is, right outside my window, and therefore above their kitchen, is a CCTV setup. Maybe I can bribe Security to ignore anything. I can't do any landlord-related stuff as it's University Halls, so they can get Disciplinaries (which they already have as can be seen here) and invites to meetings which do dick all.
If they had bikes I'd go for their tyres. No kids or the like. Could try and fuck with their utilities as their phone/boiler box is on the outside of the house. Will need to do some recon. I was seriously thinking of lying across the open grass outside my room.their kitchen and plinking at their windows with an air pistol but if any pellets are recovered or a window smashes, then I am fucked. I'll be number 1 suspect.
Tonight I am going out, so can try something to get back at them. Might gaffa tape their doorbell down at 5am as they are ridiculously loud in halls, or have a serious word with Security as it is starting to wake me up on an almost nightly basis.
Either go through the proper legal procedure or just commit some vulgar revenge tactics, both could see you homeless.
imho, a lit rag through the letterbox would be the most fun.
Too bad the letter box is the extent of your imagination for the most part.

The letterbox is the most vulnerable part of a residential building you must agree?
The amount of people who leave their keys in the door is unbelievable, which leads to theft.
So yeah, the most fun thing to do would be lit rag through letterbox.
Sorry, I repeated the same thing I've said before again.:p
RemadE, if you are in student provided accommodation, if the situation was bad enough and with enough evidence, wouldn't you be able to be rehoused/compensated somehow?
*From the link TheDarkRodent posted, THIS^
Unfortunately, there is no simple way of solving this problem, unless you just man up, knock on their door and have a cup of tea with them or better yet, bake something or get a cake for them and just talk to them. Some times, being kind to assholes might actually work, plus it's a lot safer and better than risking your neck and it just might make them behave a little.
If that doesn't work, then I am sure the Universe will be on your side and will help you fuck them over, but again, consider trying to nice guy approach, cookies + a wide smile and a simple request.
the new tennants are worse!!
But then you would have to leave aswell, regardless whether you were caught or not because the building will be ruined.
Most "letter boxes" are not part of the house. :facepalm:
TheDarkRodent, why so argumentative? I see you have took a disliking to me.
Bowel problems?

Any news OP?
he simple said most houses have a letter box on the road. not just a slit in the door lol.
Blowing smoke through it would be a good idea, but I don't think it would stop them from playing music and being noisy. Why don't you get one of those rape-alarms, pull the pin out and set it down somewhere near to their room (or inside the place, if you can get in). That'll keep them awake all night, for sure.
Stomping around helps. I mean, it's 5am now
Plus if it did - and my mates were on Security that night, they wouldn't care. Been chatting to them lately :cool:
I did have this problem whilst I was at university, but I rented privatly and the next door neighbours rented from a different landlord. I do have the benefit of being from the North (I was in the midlands at the time) and everyone who is not in the North / Yorkshire seems to think we are all violent mad men up here. Which we are to an extent.
Make friends with a Geordie or some one from West Yorkshire and ask them to go an have a chat. You will find your noise problems end.
Dont piss around with kidiot revenge schemes, you will end up with broken legs / criminal charges / homeless.
The last thing I did was almost turn into the Hulk (as I said to my Counsellor once when I talk about how my mood switches) and I lay under my bed.
After they stopped making noises I felt like a sniper...waiting until they were in bed, right below me. That's when I began to use my hands and feet to bang my bed up and down onto the floor for 5 minutes straight. A great workout and there weren't any noises for the last few nights of Semester 1.
Next time it will involve more intimate stuff. I found out I set the fire alarm off by accident as I flicked my fag butt (cigarette, Yanks, not a gay guy) into the wind and it blew back into one of the windows below where I live.
You can imagine how that went down. PISS ME OFF AND I'LL BURN YOUR PLACE DOWN!
Sort of.
We actually have family flats on the campus where I live, not too far away. In fact one of my blazing mates is a Daddy who lives there (he only smokes once a fortnight and his wife is chill with it, once the baby's in bed and all has settled).
That could work, actually.
First post and its a destructive/constructive one ^ ..... Nice! :thumbsup:
