Today, my neighbor installed a large radio that loudly plays Christmas music 24/7. When I called in a complaint to the police department they told me to, "get in the Christmas spirit." 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, 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, my neighbors coated their house in flashing Christmas lights and blared out "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" all day long. Only 29 days left until Christmas. 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 boss insisted that we get in the holiday mood by putting up lights, playing Christmas music, and wearing bells on our uniforms. It's not even Thanksgiving yet and I can't even have a tinkle without full-blown jingling. FML
Today, I came home to find my parents wearing Santa hats and blasting Christmas music at full volume. So begins three months of hell. 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, at my four-year-old daughter's insistence, I looked for - and found - a radio station that plays "Santa music" all year round. She's ecstatic and I can't turn it off without upsetting her. FML
Today, my neighbors put up their Christmas lights. They blink red and green on and off. Ever since they put them up, my dog hasn't stopped barking. It's 2:00AM. FML
Today, my new neighbor just put up really loud wind chimes. I just got a ton of letters under my door, stating if I don't take them down, they're going to file a noise complaint with the building management. She owns her condo, I don't. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Revenge. Loudly play gangnum style. That might eventually stop them

Simple Solution: Blast Gangnam Style back at your neighbors 24/7. They'll lose their Christmas spirit in a hurry. Edit: Damn you 4 and your wizardry

Well, Christmas is coming quite soon anyway so ride it out for the next week. Make yourself a hot cocoa, kick back, and enjoy some loud Christmas tunes courtesy of next door. :)

Politely chat with your neighbor about turning down the volume.If that neighbor refuses play your own music or call the police again and hope a different operator answers or patrol officer comes by and see what can be done about it. Best of Luck OP

Very good solution! Chatting is the best way to solve problems!

Yes, chat first. But that doesn't work and the police won't enforce the law, call the mayor and your local government representative. Your taxes are paying their salaries. They work for you.

I wonder if you egged their house in october then told them to get in the halloween spirit if they'd have been as nonchalant?

Just install a bigger one.

Sounds like a good excuse to upgrade your stereo, OP ;] Edit: #15 beat me to it

Instill loud speakers and play funeral music, also make some kids to cry and scream at the microphone. Say it's funeral anniversary of your old pet.

Play some Death Metal music 4 decibals higher. Maybe that will hint them that music all day round can be annoying

Install an equally loud system and play Wham - Last X-mas on repeat until he shuts off his music. You could toss in Paul McCartney's Wonderful Christmas time every so often to mix things up a bit.

Now that's just evil. No one should be subjected to that horrid McCartney song for any length of time.

I got Negative votes for that? I thought it was pretty clever.
