Neighbors

I HATE THEM

I hate my neighbors.

I don't know their names, and what I usually call them in my head is not printable, so I will entitle them: Obnoxious and Noisy.

Obnoxious and Noisy seem to believe that we are not in the USA but in their native India, because they are on Indian time and make a ton of noise between the hours of 1 and 5 am. Sometimes it's just a good old fashioned marital disagreement that goes deep into the night. Twice it's been their toilet breaking at 3 in the morning which they seem to think they can fix by opening and closing all their doors and yelling. Usually it's television and loud laughter. Tonight it's a guest who arrived at 1:30 am, a smelly curry they've cooked up using every pot they own and which they have continuously dropped, and the television in the background as they carry on a conversation which seems to revolve around the husband and male guest comparing their Yahoo commercial yodels. I haven't been able to sleep through the night for the past three nights.

And don't think I haven't tried to quiet them. Early on I went over to their apartment and knocked on the door so they would see I wasn't threatening and just very tired. They responded to my knocks by turning their television waaaay up, and then when I didn't go away they turned it off and tried to pretend they weren't there. So, I have resorted to knocking on the wall and pleading "Please be quiet" which only eggs them on.

But tonight, tonight it all changes! Oh yes, I emailed my RA. This will probably do nothing, but it takes the edge off my anger. I will also bitch and moan to you. I hate being passive aggressive.
In 15 minutes it will be 3 am. If they are still noisy I am going over and knocking on the door. Oh yes I am. Grrrrrrrr

P.S.
So roughly 10 minutes later they became extraordinarily loud, and I made my move, which is hard for me. Anyway I went over and knocked and when the wife came to the door I was hardcore "are you aware of the quiet hours?" and "you are begging for an RAing" and she was saying "So sorry, our cousin is staying with us, we're planning a Nepalese party... won't happen again" So firstly, I apologize for saying they were Indian, that was ignorant of me. Secondly, I am going to this Nepalese party you had best believe. Thirdly, I just emailed my RA again to tell him nevermind. And Fourthly, now I can't sleep because of my adrenaline rush from my confrontation. I feel faint.
