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.

        First, it won’t stop the problem.

        Second, you stupidly posted about it online meaning it’s a planned thing. He might be accidentally loud. You’re planning harassment. Guess who the cops will arrest.

        He’s a person. Talk to him nicely. He may have no idea at all that he’s bothering people, so don’t come in hot like a crazy person.

          I had no idea our 40lb Boston Terrier/Beagle mix walking around was so loud for our downstairs neighbors. After they told us, we invested in some rugs to try and dampen the sound.

          Of course, they would get into screaming matches at 3am with each other until the cops were called - then the cops would ring our buzzer because they refused to answer.

          I do not miss apartment living.

          No because it’s obvious he’s harassing me. Any time I make the smallest noise he bangs on the wall

    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 retaliate, it will only escalate. Use your grown up voice and mention the slamming wakes you up.

      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.

    If he is below put your phone alarm really loud and on vibrate and under a bowl and or pot and let it ring.

    Do it every time hes an asshole. Also do it at 4am so if he wakes at 5 he’s losing that hour of sleep.

    That or the ol frozen piss disc under the door 😄

          I will pee in a plate and freeze it. thank you for the excellent idea.

          Also I would like to purchase some fart spray. He is a dumb idiot and leaves his crap in the common area which is a fire hazard. I want to disfigure it.

    Call the police and make a noise complaint every single morning. Let the owners know you’re doing the same. Give the police the owners contact info.

    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
