He wakes me at 5am every day because he slams stuff really loud. He doesn’t even have work early he just wake up at 5am and stays home all day.

Should I do revenge on him and slamm stuff at 12 am when I go to sleep

    Invest in a $2 pair of ear plugs, apartments tend to be like that. Most likely the person is not doing it intentionally, or if they are then the best revenge you can get is to tell them how well you selpt in spite of their futile efforts to annoy you.

      that’s a cool solution you just made up and posted on the internet for fun because you’re pretending to be a person

      try sleeping in ear plugs and see how your ear holes feel

        I dont use plugs any more but i used to, i found a sleep mask that has headphone speakers built in playing an audiobook or white noise is ideal for me.

        They make different kinds, some might be more comfortable than others. I am indeed a real person, who has experience sleeping in very loud environments.

    What’s your relationship with your neighbor? I’d say try to communicate with them before turning this into one of those stereotypical neighbor feuds.

    What type of neighbor? House, townhouse, apartment?

    What exactly is he banging? Garbage bins, Kitchen Cabinets, Dresser, Closet?

    There are solutions that don’t involve being an asshole back to them in some of those situations.

    Don’t escalate, he is home all day and has more time to escalate.

    Talk nicely, make a friend, move are all good options.

    Definitely don’t do any revenge before just asking him nicely, and then maybe not so nicely; if that fails, go for it.

    If you rent, get your landlord to talk with them. It’s likely that they simply don’t know how loud they are. Otherwise you could write a nicely worded letter.

    If all diplomatic options are exhausted, then I would hang up some speakers so they’re facing into the wall; then go ham with the heaviest, bassiest songs I have at all times that your local by-laws allow that also overlap with the times they would be sleeping.

    I did this with a particularly shitty neighbour and it apparently solved the issue (though maybe they were finally evicted). They would be up until 3-4 am (sometimes later) literally blasting music and I have to leave for work by 830am; so, I started blasting some dubstep into walls at 8am.

      My speakers broke because I am in a third world country and I got jbl speakers from some Romanian website which just broke for some reason and they had a 2 year warranty but apparently they just don’t want to fix them so now I’m poor and can’t buy speakers again why is life so sad

    I would ask nicely first before becoming aggressive. What’s going on in your head and how you perceive events might totally be different than him. I used to get up at 3am because I liked it. Tried to be quiet but people are imperfect.

      I’m a woman and he is already a deadbeat dad and kind of attractive so I don’t want to take any risks , meaning he’s a POS but I’ve seen him be charming and manipulative so I want to avoid interacting with him as much as possible

        I just suggest not escalating before you have a chance to just send an anonymous note or something. If you’re worried about him thinking it is you. Polite and concise wordage. Mail it from a drop box if you want to.

    Best bet is police reports. Stack enough of them, someone has to do something. if this is apartment related.

    Go to bed early ( only psychopaths go to bed late, prowling the streets for their victims ) and wake up at 5am. It is the most peaceful time to get things done.

    Who tf wants to stay up late and be miserable when it’s dark outside

      Waking up at 5am is so fucking miserable and psychotic , especially when you’re not forced to
