Today, my elderly neighbour was having some kind of house party. It was incredibly loud, so I went and asked if he could tone it down a little. He responded by grabbing a deck chair, smacking me with it, then chasing me back to my house, all while his guests cheered him on. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, to make my dorm neighbours think I'm popular, I blasted music and screamed at the top of my lungs so it sounded like I was having a party. My residence manager slapped me with a noise violation, and demanded to come in to make sure we weren't drinking. I had to explain why I was by myself. FML
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, some cops came to my house saying that the neighbors thought the party I was having was too loud and obnoxious. It was my grandmother's 86 birthday party. FML
Today, I decided to sit on the back porch for a while to enjoy the nice weather and relax. Unfortunately, one of my neighbors was outside too, having a very loud argument with his wife for about 45 minutes. FML
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
Today, my neighbours had an extremely loud party, which began at midnight and didn't end until 6. I know this because I had a 15 minute sleep, seeing as I had to wake up at quarter past. FML
Today, while I was walking home, I noticed an elderly man in a wheel chair trying to paint his garage so I went over to help. His response was verbal abuse and a slap to the face with a wet paint brush. FML
Today, my grandpa was visiting. My neighbors started blasting out rap music, as they've done nearly 24/7 for months, telling me to fuck off when I complain. He went over and screamed he'd gut them like fish if they didn't pipe down. They did. He's 68 and still more intimidating than me. FML
Today, my house caught fire and almost burned down. My neighbour, who has always hated me, came up, patted me on the back, and said, "That sucks for you." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

If it's too loud, you are too old!

I love the fact that it's your elderly neighbor having this kickass party. I bet you wouldn't be complaining if you had been invited =P

Don't forgot that you can always contact your local PD and get them to charge that guy's old ass with assault and battery. If someone physically harms you, don't take it lightly!

Did you never see the Taco Bell Super Bowl commercial? Old people can get wild

Call the cops...for more than one reason...abuse and noise...

People usually don't like being told to do something, especially if it's negative in context or shows rebellion against something the instigator was doing. In this case - yes, you should file a police report. As for the guests, some, if not most were probably drunk and knowing drunk people, as long as the alcohol keeps flowing, they'll be willing to cheer on any unlawful act. Also, you did deserve it a little bit for not bringing someone with you. It's a loud, rowdy house party and if challenged as they were, things were bound to get somewhat out of control, no matter if you rang the doorbell, or the average joe down the street. If you had someone with you, the events probably would have gone down differently, but nevertheless, FYL.

Ya know I'm going to have to side with the elderly on this one, I think it's great to see them full of life and still having fun. Just because you reach a certain age doesn't mean you can't have fun!!!

It does mean you can still show some respect when someone asks you to quiet down. What if OP had a sleeping child that they JUST put down? What if they had a big presentation the next day and needed sleep? What if OP now resents the person so much that when they fall and can't get up OP refuses to help and just leaves them there to die because **** them? Common courtesy. It's not like OP asked them to gtfo and go lay down.
