my idiot neighbors

[andriaSRH]

Okay so as most of you know, I moved into a duplex with three other people. We live on the top floor. Both units look the same aside from the fact that the bottom apartment has a huge bookshelf, while we have an attic and bigger counter top in the kitchen..but I digress..

For the longest time we were dreading anyone moving in beneath us. We could be as loud as we wanted, stomp on the floor and be all around rowdy. When potential renters would come by to look at the bottom floor, we would play loud music, scream weird things..and my rommie Elle even went as far as to look out the window at a older couple, with a knife in her hand.

So when my friend Rachel (she is also sister one of my roomates sister) said she was moving, I was excited as hell. She is about the same age as me and is alot of fun. Only downside is that she just had a kid..which was whatever, because she said he would be at her moms most of the time. Her friend Mary and Marys' boyfriend Jamie were also moving in. (Sidenote, Jamie is not on the lease)

Fast forward to now....THESE PEOPLE ARE DRIVING ME NUTS. Apparently Jamies' friend, Skid Row Steve (or whatever) lives down there now. He...(or whoever sleeps in the room beneath mine) plays music like..24/7. I kid you not. Whoever it was started blasting music around 10am today. Mind you, I was already awake..but still. So about everynight now, around midnight , either me or my boyfriend will go knock on their backdoor and tell them to turn the music down. I try and give them the benefit of the doubt since I'm around their age...and I like loud music from time to time...but this is getting to be too much.

No joke, my roomie talked to his sister about kicking out Skid Row Steve, and she seriously replied that there was nothing she could do about it..

I don't know what to do...like at this exact moment there are like 10 people down there, going in and out, letting the door slam, they are running around and bumping hella loud, not to mention their music is loud as fuck. ..

Should I call the cops? Or what? I know they have weed down there and good knows what else...but then again we have weed up here :/. I dont want it to have to come to that..but seriously everynight I should not have to tell these fucking idiots to turn their music down. Oh...and did i mention they are juggalos? Dirty, disrespectful, loud, druggie, juggalos.

Also not to mention that we have been nothing but respectful to them. We only play music on the weekends...if at all. We don't stomp, and we're even letting them use our washer and dryer, since theirs is broken. What tickles my funny bone, is that the other day, my roomie was shuffling, and his sister had the nerve to text me to tell me that we needed to stop stomping because she had a headace. What a fucking joke.

Sorry about the stoned rant, but I am at my wits end. I just want to be relaxed in my own home, instead of living above a party house :/

wow...nothing?

Fail...lol

i think its safe to say you need a gun.

Just tell them to straighten up or you'll kick out whoever isn't on the lease. Put your foot down. If you have to call the cops, call the cops. Do what you have to do. Assert yaself.

see? Ikku agrees. get a gun, wave it around, point it at people casually, eventually theyll leave.

[zERo~Chronic]

i support both ikku and bubbles. Just remember the golden rule: 'never point a gun at anything you're not willing to destroy'

[andriaSRH]

If I get a gun then I will just be stooping to their level..lol. They think they are gangsters, when really they are just lame ass white kids.

Anyways..I really..really..REALLY don't want to call the cops. I hate drama..but it seems like drama is all they are about. Instead of putting two and two together, the same stuff happens everyday.

Also my boyfriend isn't on our lease (mind you, he pays the most rent out of all of us) I'm afraid they are gonna try and play 'he said she said' with our landlord, and try and get my boyfriend kicked out.

This is such a stupid situation to be in....

I went down there today at 11am to tell them to turn their music down. Jaime answered the door and fucking smirked at me while I was talking to him.

Anyone have an like..legal advice? I would hate to get Rachel kicked out, cuz she does have a kid..but then again it's never down there...and it seems like right after she leaves for work, her place is overrun by idiots. Appears to me that her apartment is just a place for her to lay her head and keep her stuff...while at the same time it's a party house/squatters den.

the whole "Its awesome hanging out here, we cant let anyone move in downstairs, oh heres a great idea you move in downstairs, oh shit it sucks having them downstairs" sounds a lot like a sitcom

Andria, I love how you said you guys didn't want anyone down stairs so you can make a ruckus and blare your music whenever you wanted to, yet you are complaining about your new neighbors 1 upping you and doing the same thing haha.

In all seriousness though, go there.. smoke a bowl with them and explain that they need to keep their music down a little bit, maybe not blare it on week nights when you guys need your peace and sleep. Speak your mind to them in a polite but aggressive manner to let them know that it truly makes you mad how disrespectful they are being.

PS. For the most part, Juggalos are pieces of shit scum with no respect, think that they can do whatever they want, don't care at all about other people, and do mad drugs while going crazy listening to bad/loud music while thinking they're hard as fuck.

[andriaSRH]

We figured someone was going to move in eventually, so we got all the loud and crazyness out of system before hand.

Yea.my roomie Stef suggested the same thing..go down there..hang out with them...but yea..I just don't associate myself with those type of people..and I'm damn sure not getting them high.

My boyfriend and I plan on moving on in March anyways..because our chick roomie has already talked to Stef about bailing on us..even though she hasn't said a word to the rest of us.

It's w/e..it was a good time while it lasted. I'd rather live in an apartment, where if someone is loud, I won't feel bad about calling the cops because I won't know them.

Not to sound old..but I'm too old to be making peace with scumbag juggalos just so I can get a good nights sleep.

my best piece of advise is to NOT smoke with them.
if they are as scummy as you say they might get the bright idea to jack your shit one day.

happened to my friend alisa. she was renting a basement apartment with an semi attached bachelor apartment. they shared an entrance and "mud room" but had separate locking front doors. these people were kinda dirty and loud so she decided to make friends so they'd think of her as a real person. not just
"the neighbor".
one weekend when she left town her neighbor and his friends broke into her apartment stealing all her weed and computer stuff. she knows it was his friends at least because the people that lived upstairs saw them running away with her computer shit and called the cops
