napoleonherselfMom went and talked to the neighbors about their noisiness (although I asked her not to, because I don't want to risk having one of them glaring at me the next time they happen to see me, or even worse, cornering me and asking me just who the hell I think I am with my whole "wanting to have quiet at night" thing). I vaguely expected that if she did, she'd get a nonstraight answer; I was right. Neighbordude claims that it couldn't be them, because they're always asleep at night. Especially 11 o'clock last night. Never mind that I see their mouths move through their window when "someone" can be heard laughing and talking, never mind that I saw their car pull in last night and them get out at the same time that oddly familiar voices started discussing people with the same names as people who live in that house. It couldn't be them, golly gee, it must be some other neighbors!
The best part is that now I feel both guilty, and doubtful of whether it really is them. Even though I have visual evidence. Well, I could've been half-asleep and seen things wrong, the visual confirmation of their mouths moving doesn't mean anything since they could've been talking quietly at the same time that the mysterious Other Neighbors were talking loudly, I could be imagining that the voices are the same ones that I know DO belong to the individuals in question...
And my head hurts, and my stomach hurts, and I napped too long and wasted my entire evening, and I'm groggy. Whee.

This is also the most branching option, as there are countless ways of death; including but not limited to Lycanthropic Poodles, Fire, Defresntrasion (sp?), and summoning a large demon.

Date: 2002-06-13 10:02 pm (UTC)I believe the step after "talking with the neighbors about it" is "talking with the police about it" (yay)... the third step is soundproofing your room (or, as mentioned, earplugs)...

The police are responsible for at least checking out instances of people disturbing the peace. And I didn't like the idea of earplugs either until I tried them (she never mentioned if she actually tried them or not).

Sure, they may complain a bit as they're covered in noise-absorbing foam or Fiberglass, but you can always reassure them it's a true fashion statement! Besides, it offers great protection should stray walls and stuff get in their way while they're walking. They'd just bounce right off unharmed. It might even offer some protection against injuries sustained during freak accidental defenestrations.
Just be sure not to get that Great Stuff spray foam crap on your hands; it's almost impossible to get off.
