Today, I've suffered 3 months of my neighbor blasting his music so loud, it shakes my apartment floor. None of my noise complaints are ever followed up, but the moment I give him a piece of my mind, he calls the cops, and they threaten me with jail time over a few curse words. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my neighbor yelled “Fuck you!” at me through his window. My crime? Closing my front door “too loud.” This man lets his children beat on the walls and slam doors but apparently I’m the problem. FML
Today, my neighbor got a ridiculous surround sound system that sounds like Jurassic fucking Park come to life. My walls are literally shaking. I tried asking nicely for them to turn it down. They told me to fuck off, and that if I call the cops with a noise complaint, well… they know where I live. FML
Today, I called the cops on my elderly neighbor for blaring loud war music yet again. They chatted and laughed with him on his lawn for a good half hour. As they left, he slapped the female officer's ass, only for her to just giggle about it. After they drove off, he fired up his music again. FML
Today, I found out my upstairs neighbors filed a noise complaint against me for banging on the ceiling every night. They conveniently left out the part where they constantly stomp, shout, and do stuff that sounds like they're dropping bricks to the floor every night. FML
Today, I finally had some alone time to relax and watch a movie. As soon as I pressed play, my neighbor started blasting their music so loud I could feel the bass in my chest. I tried calling the landlord, but they didn't answer. I ended up watching the movie with subtitles while listening to my neighbor's music. FML
Today, I finally got tired of my neighbors constantly blaring their obnoxious rap music all hours of the day and night. Trying to be funny, I put Baby Shark on a loop and turned my speakers all the way up. They called the cops on me. FML
Today, we have an asshole neighbor who owns a loud muscle car. Another neighbor called the cops on him for constantly revving the engine and breaking the noise ordinance. He now purposefully drives by their house at odd hours of the night to blare his horn and wake everybody up. I live across the road from them. FML
Today, I have to wear earplugs in my own apartment because my neighbor won't turn down his music. My landlord doesn't believe me because "people with disabilities can't be rude." FML
Today, a man next door has been coughing constantly for past 3 months and I can hear him despite closing my windows. During the day there's construction noise and at night this asshole. I asked him many times to close his windows but he won't. Now I play coughing on a speaker at the same time he starts, just to piss him off. FML
Today, my neighbors in the apartment above me yet again had a loud fight, well past midnight while I was trying to sleep. I stood on my bed and pounded on the ceiling to shut them up. And now I'll have to explain the two fist-shaped holes in the ceiling to my landlord. FML

time to record your environment and then file a noise complaint. if they don't follow up inform them that they'll be hearing from your lawyer

That sucks OP, maybe you should blast your own music and wait until the cops show up. then Turn your radio off and catch your neighbors in the act. or make them cookies and ask to them to turn it down nicely

This is why you avoid cursing when threatening or complaining. They're like trigger words to people. It's all they hear and it just makes them even more irate and unreasonable. Make your complaints or frustrated comments in a calm manner and you're much better off....

He did call the police you ******* idiots. He said none of his noise complaints were not followed up, as the police obviously never came.

You deserved it, because of you have noise complaints, you automatically call the cops

try having to be up for work at 5 in the morning with neighbors partying until 1 a.m., lighting fireworks and shooting guns. at all times of the year not just independence day.

Irrelevant, you call the cops. By taking it into your own hands, instead of having the guy stop his partying, you're now defending yourself to the cops at 2am when you have to get up for work.

It's a civil issue. They wouldn't "threaten you with prison" for that bs. You must've left somethings out OP.

So stop cursing at him? I mean I get you get angry, but you'd think the first time he called the cops on you for swearing at him you would learn to not **** with a crazy person. Is it actually impossible for you to have a confrontation with someone without swearing at them?

Did you even read what you just said. --"So stop cursing at him? I mean I get you get angry, but you'd think the first time he called the cops on you for swearing at him you would learn to not **** with a crazy person. Is it actually impossible for you to have a confrontation with someone without swearing at them?:-- What makes you think he went back to curse at him more? Really because you are innocent of NEVER cursing someone out at all or using any profane words while angry? Piss off. Regardless of if someone is crazy or not i'd have given them a piece of my mind as well if the cops did not do their jobs. Then i'd have gone and filed a formal complaint against the PD as well for not dong what they are supposed to do. You asked if it's "impossible" to confront someone and not swear? Get a life. You don't know this person. No i don't either but you are certainly in no position to ASSUME they can't not curse someone out. I'm more surprised that it took him 3 months to go down there and say something to him. I would have the very first night. And no i'd have not been polite.
