bending_sickleThere comes a point when everyone - no matter who they are - reaches that point. The point where the hypothetical comes factual, if not ethical**.
At 1:20 am tonight, I reached that point. I ripped restraint's hairy arms off from round my neck, put on my bitch-parka and righteous-indignation-sneakers, and went downstairs.
And rang that doorbell.
"...hello?"
*chirpy smile* "Hi!*** I'm your upstairs neighbour and I think it may be your music that I'm hearing coming in so loud."
"...it's possible."
"Okay, well, the thing is I live just above you - just above the room you're playing the music in, in fact - and it's quite late on a weeknight. So I was wondering if you could please turn the music down, because it's very disrupting and, as I said, it's very late. I'd really appreciate it."
"...okay, cool." *door slam OF DOOM*
"That went well."
And the thing is, it worked. So much better than seething and writing a letter I'd never slip under their door in the morning anyway.
*snuggles into bed for 5:30 hours*
* Set phrase
** No neighbours were harmed in this episode, not that that was a certainty.
*** You'll note I avoided the irony of appologizing for disturbing them at this hour.

Date: 2007-12-19 04:13 am (UTC)you're too nice a person. i'm glad you stuck up for yourself and got them to turn the music down, though. maybe you could complain to the landlord and have them deal with the noise issue for you?
sorry i haven't been commenting recently! i have to skim your posts because i haven't been able to watch the second season of heroes, and i'm trying to avoid all mention of it in my life. plus, i had shitty internet all semester at school that didn't like it when i tried to comment on things.
now i have super sweet home internet and i think i forgot how awesome that can be...
i miss you, my sweet. sometimes i wonder how it is that i still feel close to you, despite being an ocean apart and our terrible communication skills... (ok, ok. MY terrible communication skills. my pile of unsent postcards to you is beyond embarassing.)
*snuggles*
