There's a loud party upstairs from me: Should I call the cops?

[bluestateguy]

It's still early, but it looks like they are going to have a lot of people over, and they are already making a lot of noise. I don't appreciate not being told about the party as a courtesy, much less not being invited. Where I'm from that's the protocal. Should I call the cops on these fools to break up their obnoxious little shindig?

1. Depends

Are they Republicans?

[bearfan454]

4. Call in on them if they are repukes.

As long as they are violating the noise ordinance.

2. You should just go up

maybe it was an oversight, you not be invited.

[physioex]

3. Ok..just my opinion...

I understand young people need to have fun. As long as they don't destroy things and its on a friday or saturday night, I am willing to overlooks parties. Yes it would have been nice had you been invited or atleast told about the festivities...

5. Go up and crash it.....

Drink their booze. Eat their food. Smoke their weed. Molest their guests. Make a night of it.

[NightTrain]

6. ABSOLUTELY!

Until recently, I had loud, inconsiderate upstairs neighbors myself. Call the cops NOW!!!

7. No start your own party

Put your favorite tunes on crack a cold one & crank it the fuck up.

I'm talkin all the way to 11

[skooooo]

18. ...wait a minute..a Spinal Tap moment!

Why would "11" be louder than "10" on your stereo?

[LibertyorDeath]

19. DUH 11 is more than 10

I typed that in my best Brit accent :)

[skooooo]

21. LOL...good answer...

...but there's something still a little funny about this.

8. I was once a visiting instructor in a college town

where the fraternities used to crank up their music so loud that you literally could not tell which direction it was coming from, because it seemed to fill the whole world. (I can't see how the people inside the houses didn't have blood running from their ears, but anyway...)

There is no excuse for having loud music that is audible outside your own dwelling. None. It is childish and immature to say, "Oh, just ignore it" (When it's that loud?) or "You can sleep in tomorrow." (No, I can't. I have to catch a plane at 9:00 AM) or "We have a right to enjoy ourselves." (And I have a right to do one of the things I enjoy most, which is a good night's sleep.)

Being kept awake by selfish brats is one of the few things that will send me into a rage, and I have felt that way since I was student age myself. I am fortunate to have mostly avoided situations like that in the past couple of decades.

Call the cops. Or get your revenge by playing loud classical music at 7AM tomorrow.

9. Absolutely Not!!

We all have to adjust to each other. A loud party..you give up a nights sleep. Whatever. Work it out tomorrow.

Yes, I have stayed up too many nights with loud parties. Work it out tomorrow.

10. Vacuum the ceiling

makes a really strange noise upstairs.

[Rowdyboy]

11. It's 10:30pm on a Saturday night

Back when I was young, had a life, and went to parties, that was prime time and the evening was just beginning. Crash the party. Or leave the house, and make a party of your own.

[CrownPrinceBandar]

12. I vote for crashing the party..............

slip in unnoticed with some arriving guests, head for the keg/bar and then hit the buffet table. Claim, if caught, you're with them (point wildly at a random group of folks).

[traco]

13. I would call

You have a right to a peaceful existence. You shouldn't have to listen to your neighbors choice of music.

[Bonhomme Richard]

14. Relax and forget about it.

Unless they are destuctive just chill and let them have a good time. We have all been a little rowdy from time to time and I for one am glad no one called the cops.

[TheWizardOfMudd]

15. No, not unless you must sleep and cannot

[1monster]

16. You mean they had the nerve to have a large loud party and they didn't

invite you??!!!

Then have at it and call the cops! The neoive!

They shudda invited you.

[blueraven95]

17. As its Sat.

Wait until 1:00 am and then call.

At least that's what I'd do.

[Mobius]

20. I like the call it in if they are republicans option

go with that.
