FYI I’m not trying to start a struggle session or anything

My college-aged neighbors had a big party once on a Thursday night and my roommate, who had to work in the morning, couldn’t sleep since her bedroom wall was like right against their apartment. It was the first time it had happened, and I sort of thought it’s a very difficult situation to try and force them to tone it down while something like that is already in progress, so we ended up waiting until the next day. I was home so at like noon or so when I was sure they were awake I knocked on their door and was just sorta like wtf guys. They apologized, agreed to notify us and the other neighbors if they were throwing another party (especially on a weekday). They never did, at least not a huge loud one like that. I think that’s the way to deal with something like that. Of course if it’s a constant issue and you’ve talked to the neighbors and they really just won’t stop, that’s another story. But this was the first time it had happened and I didn’t want to get into a whole big thing with them while they were likely drunk and the party had likely spiraled out of their control anyway.
I’m glad it worked out for you but you have to understand there really are people that will, continually, blast music past midnight on all days of the week when they are your neighbor in an apartment building. That these people exist and are seemingly immune to all good faith attempts to come to an understanding with their neighbors is just an undeniable fact. Ultimately it just ends with you or them moving away but they continue to plague humanity wherever they exist in proximity to it.
oh yeah that’s why I said if you have problematic neighbors who are seemingly immune to reason that’s another story. But I think the first step is reaching out and trying to come to an understanding.
