I was completely fed up with my neighbour and his noisy antics most of the time. I had been living beside this neighbour for almost two years now, and his noise had been driving me crazy.
I had tried to be understanding, but it was really getting to me.
Always jams to music
My neighbour was a musician, and he would spend most of his days in his home playing his guitar. On top of that, he would have friends over for jam sessions, and it always made the walls shake.
It didn’t help that my neighbour lived directly above me, so the sound of the music was amplified.
I had tried to talk to my neighbour about it several times, but he would always brush it off, saying that he was just having fun.
Told me to stay at LCK cemetery if I wanted peace and quiet
I had finally had enough, and I confronted my neighbour again. I asked him to keep it down, but he just laughed and said that if I wanted peace and quiet, I should go and stay at LCK cemetery.
I was so angry that I wanted to punch my neighbour in the face. How dare he suggest that I go and live in a cemetery?
It was insulting and demeaning. I was about to yell at my neighbour, when I suddenly stopped myself.
I realized that I was about to get into a fight with my neighbour, and that was not going to solve anything.
Started to use my mop to hit my ceiling
I came up with an idea to pay my neighbour back in his own coin.
Every night while my neighbour finally quietens down and goes to sleep, I would take my mop and use the handle to hit my ceiling.
My motive was to irritate and annoy my neighbour as much as possible so that he knows how irritating it is to be disturbed constantly.
I did this nightly for almost two weeks, before my neighbour finally understood and started to quieten his jamming sessions down.
Well, I am glad that this solution worked.
