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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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

I would definitely have to agree that it's common courtesy, however I'm not sure how much help the police would be when they hear you say it was an elderly man blasting music and beating you up. And seeing as how you have no one to corroborate your story and he has a house full of people to back him up it makes it much harder. Sorry you have such nasty neighbors OP. :/

Let your elderly neighbor have fun! Don't be a party pooper! Join them.

Come on OP, this probably gave him an erection he wanted to have for the past 30 years...

Is your neighbor Ric Flair or Hulk Hogan?

Call the police. You were nice enough to try to talk. You can also file an assault report.

Good job for him. You should be ashamed at trying to spoil people's fun because you don't have anything to do.

this is complete abuse! That is unacceptable behaviour and OP could call the police! And having fun is fine but they said it was very loud - OP actually went round and asked. They didn't just call the police or anything - I think OP did the right thing and the neighbour acted abusively!

I don't remember seeing that scene in "The Seventh Seal." Or was it "Wild Strawberries?"

Usually, elderly neighbors are boring. You should have went over to join the party instead !
