Yet another reason I detest my neighbors..

Published on August 11, 2004 By dharmagrl In Misc

..and I'm glad that we're moving.

My neighbors are away on vacation for a couple of days. Ordinarily I'd have been glad to see the back of them and enjoy the tranquility, but I'm not.

The man of the house had weekend duty this past weekend, which called for him to be at work at 0500. He apparently was getting up at 0330 ...because he's left his alarm clock set for that time. Our bedrooms are on opposite sides of an adjoining wall, and I have been woken at 0330 the past 2 mornings by this fucking clock radio beeping incessantly. It's not the kind that stops after 10 minutes if no-one turns it off....oh no, this one goes on for an hour. A fucking hour. After burying my head under the pillows failed to shut out the noise, I decided to get up. I'm now wide awake, and I can tell you from experience that trying to go back to sleep will be futile.

So, here I am, wandering the halls of JU at oh-dark-hundred (that's a military euphemism for way too fucking early), thanks to my stupid, irresponsible, self centered, materialistic, moronic neighbors.

I'm so glad we're moving.

Oh Dharmagrl, I wholly sympathize you. There are many inconsiderate people in this world. In train, I often had to face people who snore so loudly and incessantly that I could not sleep. Next time you have this kind of problem, why dont you use some ear cotton plugs, it just might help, BTW, where are you these days ?

I have earplugs that I use when I shoot, and I tried that. It doesn't work.

BTW, where are you these days ?

I'm around. My husband comes home tomorrow and our belongings get packed up next week, so I won't be here on JU as much....but I'll be back in early September (I hope) when we move into our new house.

Oh the joys of moron neighbors. I had a similar situation in my freshman year in the dorms. In the middle of the fall semester we had a four day weekend where everyone would typically go home or on vacation somewhere, well this guy down the hall from me forgot to turn his alarm off, and it was set for 6:30am. I was one of *

people left in the entire building for the four day weekend, and maintenance was off too... so for four days the alarm went off... no cut-off after an hour even... it just kept going for four days.... I nearly killed the guy when he got back.

I wanted to yesterday morning. I really did.....

It just amazes me at how ignorant some people can be. They have no respect for anyone else. My neighbors are notorious for this kind of behaviour. I can't tell you how glad I am that I only have a week left to live in this house. I think that I might leave a not in the hosue somewhere for the next occupants to read...warning them about the neighbors!

I still think the best idea was to hide a dead animal under their porch

at 2 am. It makes me want to stick my fingers in my ears and sa "lalalalalalalala not listening!!!"...

An airhorn pushed up to the wall and set off at full volumn would be better.

If you really want to get back at them, stick eggs all over the place and in any little areas of their house that you can access. The smell will attrack rodents but won't happen until you are long gone.

Oh, you will not believe what just happened....

They're back. Apparently, word got back to them that I had called his supervisor, because 'stupid girl' came out of her house as I was walking down the street to get my mail, pointed at me, and yelled across the street to her friend "I am sooo holding my tongue! She'd better be glad I'm doing that, because she wouldn't like what I have to say!"

Like I'm supposed to be scared of THAT.

Perhaps if their ignorance hadn't caused me to lose a couple of night's sleep I wouldn't have had to take action and call 'dumb boy's' supervisor. Perhaps they ought to be a little more considerate.

Perhaps I don't fucking care because I'm leaving. Perhaps....and this is the best idea yet....perhaps I'll send my husband the cop over to brief them should shit like this happen between the time he comes home and the time we leave. He says he's hoping that they're stupid enough to start something.....

Now, this is some juicy stuff right here, Dharmagrl. Ahhh, the drama. It's quite cool that she is getting all persnickety (don't you love that word?) just as your husband the cop and newly minted E6 is about to return home. Good stuff. I think you should go with KarmaGirl's Easter bunny idea.

Oh, there's more. They (stupid girl and her friends) had a gang until a few months ago. The had tags on their cars that read "BEB" - Black Elk Bitches (the street that we live on). They have accused me of being a child molestor, called family advocacy on me because they said I was leaving my children alone in the mornings whilst I went to work (I don't have a job), called the cops on me because they said I left my son home alone all day, called my husband to tell him I was screwing numerous men in our bed (I was recovering from a near-fatal car accident at the time...I couldn't walk, let alone have sex with anyone)...they're just delightful people. Really high quality neighbors.

I'm going to go to her house the day we leave. I'm going to knock on the door, and when she answers it I'm going to say (cover your ears if you're sensitive to cuss words) "I just wanted to tell you that I think you're a fucking cunt and I'm sorry I won't be around to see your bad karma catch up with you. Have a nice fucking life, bitch".

D'ya think that'll piss her off?!

I thought I had bad neighbors, but you have got me beat by miles and miles . . . and miles. The fact that you haven't said those things to her already pretty much qualifies you for sainthood, in my opinion. Wow.

The joys of military life......at least with your hubby home, being used to being up all night will be a plus.

Wahine...I wanted to. I really, really wanted to. It would just have kicked off more bitchiness and backbiting...instead I went the legal route, and complained to Dave's commander, dumb boy's commander, the wing commander...they're on thin ice with the housing office.

SNS: Yeah, I'm ahead of the game as far as that goes. He's going to have to adjust to a 3 hour time difference, darkness and the heat - I'm not expecting much out of him this weekend!

Really Dharma,
What's up with AF guys wearing a stocking cap with "Thug Life" embroidered onit as part of the uniform?

That would be a joking question if I hadn't seen it in Osan. I think you should have turned the main power breaker to their house off so it would get really hot inside and everything in the fridge would go bad for their return. Then you could turn it back on after two days so they would have no clue except the ominous 12:00 blinking at them.
If it was locked on a hacksaw and a new series 200 lock would do the trick.

Sorry I couldn't tell you this but work was giving me a 3 day Migraine.

I dunno, but I see shit like that all the time and it pisses me off. Clowns wearing their uniform ballcaps sideways, like they're freakin' in the hood or something.

You get migraines too, huh? I haven't had one in over a month...I haven't had a 3 day one in ages. I feel for you, I really do. What meds do you take to resolve it?

I would have just turned to her and told her to bring it on, especially since she's the one who always winds up looking stupid!

D'ya think that'll piss her off?!

Do you guys have a video camera? I would so LOVE to see that scene play out!
