Yes, you heard right, this is a rant by me, my first ever on this board. I'm not sure whether I should be excited about it or not, but I won't worry about that right now.
Anyhoo, here's the setup. I've been going to college for a couple of years now, staying at a place off campus, and everything's been cool. Well, until recently, that is. Lately, a bunch of kids have been making a lot of noise. OK, now you're probably thinking to yourself, but HDX, that's nothing out of the ordinary. Lots of college kids make noise. And you'd be right. But here's the thing: I don't mind it so much during the daytime, but late at night? *chews on apple* Dat's not cool. And how are they making this noise, you ask? With firecrackers. Over the past few nights I've been awaken to the noise of firecrackers. I once checked the clock and saw that it was 3AM. Let me rephrase that: THESE KIDS WERE USING FIRECRACKERS AT FREAKIN' THREE O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING!!! AW HELL TO THE NAW!
Now, I understand that some of these kids will get rowdy late at night (possibly after having a few drinks), but still, being extremely noisy at at time when I and many others are trying to sleep is being damn inconsiderate in my view. I've tried ignoring it, hoping it'd pass, but obviously it isn't. Now I feel like saying to them, "Hey, do you mind? Some people are trying to sleep here. Speaking of which, WHY THE HELL AREN'T YOU IN BED GETTING YOUR REST?" That's how pissed off I am, and it takes a lot- and I mean A LOT- to piss me off.
So yeah, that's my rant. It may not be much, but hey, I'm new at this.

That's nothing. I unfortunatly live on the eastside (whitetrashside) of town and there are constantly idiots who set off fire works. Not to mention, my neighbor who is dirt poor and lives off the government, spends all his money on useless crap including the horn from the "Dukes Of Hazzard" and loves to honk that thing at least 20 times a day. I live next to a parking lot and these damn skatboarders are always out there just acting like they belong in "Jackass". Let's see I can go on and on, but I won't...lets just say I wouldn't mind switching places with you in a second. Also just to clear things up, I'm not poor white trash, I just have to live among it sadly.  |

We have people like that across the yard from me. Apparently one of them was in the driveway the other day with a baseball bat. Let's just say that I have some scissors right by the door to the driveway now.

Yeah, I always feel like the Principal from Breakfast Club when I have to confront these punks. I remember one time my dad, who is 5'3 lost it after this 17 year old kid who was about 6'1 was talking some serious crap to him and then spit on him. My dad just grabbed the dude and beat on him a bit before the kid ran off. Of course my dad immediately called his lawyer in case the kid decided to "play the victim" and sue.

I have a rude-ass, inconsiderate roomate now, that insists on bumping his "dirty south" crunk music at top volume, and has buddies come over at 1130 at night, and they hang out right outside my window, and talk and laugh so loudly that I can hear them plain as day through the CLOSED window.
Yeah, this guy is a real inconsiderate ASS. What happened to respecting others? Asking yourself, "Do I REALLY need my music this blasting loud? Should I really stand beside someone else's window, yelling, laughing and talking, when I KNOW this person is trying to sleep?"
He and I are headed for a showdown, eventually.

I used to live in what had been a nice neighborhood that was going downhill. I had a covered patio on one side of the house, a fence seperated me from the neighbors patio. The kids that lived next door would play basketball on the patio, and they kept throwing the basketball onto my patio roof. Then when the ball would not come down on its own they started climbing up there to get it. They were damaging the roof, and if one of the had fallen I could have been sued. Finally I started getting the balls down myself through a window, and in front of the kids slashing the ball in half. In no time they moved the basketball goal out to the street.
The kids were annoying, but the parents were trash. They would have loud parties all the time during the week (how did their kids sleep). I had to call the cops constantly, and once I had to go out there with a baseball bat to shut them up. Its good I was able to move or one of those ******'* would have ended up dead.

You should just shout out that window one night: "SHUT THE f*** UP BEFORE I COME OVER THERE WITH A BASEBALL BAT AND SHUT ALL OF YOU THE f*** UP!" I bet the next night you'd have a good night's sleep  |

I'd like to solve things through diplomacy, not knocking his dick in the dirt, if I can help it. If he doesn't straighten up, my next step will be talking to the building manager, to see if they can remove him.

I agree with you 100% Hitman, and I'm the same way as you. I live in a condo, and so I share walls with my neighbors. Now my neighbor is a really nice and cool guy, so I don't have a problem with him. But he has a tendency to get loud late at night when I'm in bed.
I don't have a problem with hearing my neighbors making noise during the day, or even in the early evening during prime time. This is when people are supposed to be awake making noise and living their lives. But the thing is, my neighbor has a tendency to be loud at ridiculous hours of the night. Like I'll get woken up at 3AM by his music, because that's when he decides to have all his friends over for booze and music. Fortunately he is a really cool guy, so I felt comfortable knocking on his door at 3AM and saying "Dude, I trying to sleep. I have to work tomorrow". And he apologized and did be quieter. But I can see how if someone's neighbors weren't so nice, how that could start a big "war" or something.
Here's one that takes the cake. I wake up at 3:30AM one Saturday and hear a bunch of people outside my window yelling and shouting. I look out the window, and I find my (very drunk) neighbor and about 5 of his buddies WRESTLING on his front lawn. Again because it's a condo, his front lawn is very close to my bedroom window. I didn't say anything, because I knew that it was a very rare occurance, and I honestly didn't have to work the next day or anything. If he made a habit out of it, I would have said something.

Hitman, your nBo brother, and what do we do when someone pisses us off with firecrackers? We throw some back but BIGGER!
Do you know which one is the leader? If so, walk calmy out and knee him in the crotch or kick the hell out of his shin, that freakin' hurts. I suppose you could always call the cops too.

Luckily I live in a pretty quiet neighborhood. I can only remember one time off the top of my head where someone was being loud at a ridiculous hour. It was about a couple of months ago... about 2 or 3 AM on a MONDAY. Anyway, i''m already half awake and I hear someone playing reggae music ridiculously loud and it lasted for about 2 hours or so.

Though it doesn't relate to illegal firecracking, I have a mood to share with all of you. My sister (the 'bagel') took me (and our older brother Steve tagged along) to Spiderman 2 at Destinta in Newburgh. We were like the only people there until two parents and a bunch of little whippersnapper kids (presumably for a birthday party) show up. These kids were the most annoying cretons ever. Not only did they not shut up, but they were (and get ready for this, keep in mind they were like 5 or 6 years of age) SWEARING LIKE SAILORS!!! For instance, at around the scene where Spidey stops the train, one of the kids used the 'f' bomb and the parents yelled at them. It took all the intensity of that scene away from me, and it pissed me off.
And speaking of illegal firecracking.... I have nothing to add.

Yeah...I work at Toys R Us and I see all sorts of kids swearing in front of their parents and they seem to not mind. Of course, if it were my parents, I'd be taken home and immediately face some asskicking consequences...you just don't act that way in public. |

About a month ago me and my friends went to see Snakes on a Plane when these 10 year olds sat right behind us, with their dad of course, and couldn't shut up. Through out the credits they just yelled and screamed. It was sorta funny when they had that Coca Cola commercial that looked like a GTAesque game and screamed "I LOVE THAT GAME!" and my friend ask what game is that again? It got worse with the Jackass No.2 trailer and another one of them yelled "I LOVE JACKASS!" It was probably worse for my friend next to me cause they were mostly on his side.

I learned from experience that the cops won't do anything about fireworks going off until after 11:30. After that squad cars come through.
I found out that if you just say that you heard a loud bang they come out a lot earlier than that. ;D
