Neighbors: The Good, The Bad, and the OH MY GOD WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM HELLO

[BarTopDancer]

In my place in HB the walls were paper thin. My next door neighbor would play his music so loud the walls would shake until all hours of the night. After futile efforts by the complex security to get him to stop (or document properly) I started calling the non-emergency police number. The police came, knocked on his door, then pounded because the music was so loud (walls vibrating). He opened the door after a few minutes and said to them "what music, I was sleeping". Thankfully the officer told him he was full of it and said if he had to come back he would be fined. He was.

Guy below me would blast his TV. I asked him nicely once if he could turn it down just a little and was really nice about it and did for months. Then one day he moved his TV by the shared vent and started blasting it at 5:30am. After a few weeks I left him a nice note asking if anything was wrong and could he turn it down. That night he blasted his music, security came (I didn't call) and he came up pounding on my door about it. I ignored him and he left me a note that he spent money that he didn't have on ear phones so I could have silence. Never asked for silence, asked for a bit of respect.

Place in Laguna was fine as was the place in RSM. We had an odd neighbor at my other place in Irvine who asked us if the TV was to loud and then turned it up more.

Love my current place.

Some noise is to be expected in apartment living. Shaking walls from music is not.
