Have any of you ever lived in a dorm or an apartment?
If you have, have you ever experienced rude behavior?
I currently live at Woodview Commons, which is right by
ICC. I was so excited to live there and I worked all summer
to afford it! The rooms are great and my roommate is nice too!
Unfortunately, I live under the most foul, rude beings I have
ever encountered in my life!
These creatures that live above me wear boots all day and
stomp around all day and night. I have insomnia, by the time
I'm about to fall asleep I'm awoken by a damn Sasquatch above!
Not only do they stomp around, they blare rap music at all hours
of the night! It's so loud, it shakes my walls and items in my room.
It's so rude, to not only me, but to everyone else in the building.
Another wonderful thing they do is watch the Nascar channel at
3 in the morning. I just love hearing vrooming and rednecks while
trying to sleep.
So, after two weeks of residents here having to deal with their
bull crap, I decided to take action. When they blared rap, I would
cuss at them to shut up, bang on the ceiling, yell, sing, and just
be crazy. After they would turn up their music, I turned on some
great 80's music, Cyndi Lauper "Girl's Just Wanna Have Fun" to
Europe's "The Final Countdown". Oh, I sang along too. :):).
For future apartment/dorm owners, please be respectful of
the other people around you. NOT EVERYONE LIKES WHAT YOU LIKE!

What u rly need is some earplugs. I've lived in many apartment complexes throughout my life. It's not gonna stop. But you should NOT report the people to the landlord. IF you do that then everyone will hate you. You just have to learn to push back and eventually they'll get the idea. Next time I suggest you try and crank something a little heavier like slipknot, disturberd, KoRn, etc...
ReplyDeleteI have to say I disagree with Joe. If these people really are a problem, report it. Who cares what everyone else thinks. And you probably don't even know half the people in your dorm building, so it wouldn't really matter if they were angry with you or not. They are in college now and need to act like adults. If they want to act dumb they can find somewhere else to do it, not in other people's homes.
ReplyDeleteOoh. Tough dilemna. I would have to say that you don't really want to tick off your neighbors, but since first off: they didn't have the same consideration for you, and secondly: it's already not very much of a secret that you're not too happy with them, reporting's probably your best bet. Just be careful- you never know what level of jerk they might try to be afterwards. Keeping your dorm locked when you're not there is always a good habit no matter the situation. From there, you should be set.=] Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI kind of agree with Joe. I also live on campus and have the same problem. My room mates called the RA and it never seemed to help at all. To me the best approach would be to make as much noise as possible to bug them.
ReplyDeleteWell to tell you the truth, this is something your just gonna have to deal with. This is college were talking about. Students are finally getting the freedom that they have waiting so long for, and they are going to take advantage of it. So all in all, you had it coming when you decided to live there. So good luck lol
ReplyDeleteMoe,
ReplyDeleteThe best part of your solution involved your 80s tunes. Great choice with Cyndi Lauper.
I'm gonna suggest "99 Red Balloons" and "Hey Mickey" for ultimate annoyance.
