So... got these two sisters that live above me. Essentially, a split level house. I have the lower floor, they have the upper floor. Access to the basement from outside or through my bedroom. Their livingroom and bedroom are right above my bedroom.

I can hear EVERYTHING and they can't hear a sound that I make. Every footstep, every word, every stupid Christian song they play on the radio.

Anyways, tonight - NYE - around 12:45AM they started jumping. I literally saw my drop ceiling moving. I was on the cusp of a beer induced coma. Now I'm wide awake.

I need passive aggressive solutions to dealing with this problem.

FWIW - I talked to the landlord about it. When I moved in no one lived above. Had no idea it would be so loud. She says there's nothing she can do about it. I'm s.o.l. So I'm going to start looking for new residence, but in the meanwhile I want some revenge.

I'll be buying louder speakers, booby-trapping the basement door so one of their boyfriends stops putting his bike down there and waking me at whatever hour he decides to arrive or leave... I've also considered arson, but would rather stay out of jail.

I have no suggestions, but you inspired an entertaining YouTube search.

Not quite epic. But great effort in the first hour of 2014...

No matter how hard you try you can't escape Jesus.

Without knowing the particulars:
  • Remember, unless you and the other tenant can work it out it won't end well even if the landlord, police, or courts rule in your favor
  • Ask tenants again...if they won't cooperate document and provide to them in writing with a certified letter and/or mail a copy to yourself and don't open just retain
  • Ask landlord again for help in writing with a certified letter and/or mail a copy to yourself and don't open just retain
  • Document every issue, every occurrence, all details
  • Present again to landlord with the caveat that if not addressed you will be forced to move and will expect him to cover reasonable costs )I'm not an attorney but former wife is and I own rental property)
  • MOVE...take it from someone who hasn't shared a place with anyone other than a former wife and daughter but can vividly recall that an unhappy upstairs neighbor can make your life a living hell.....

Just be happy they are not insane...seriously.

My experience was an upstairs neighbor was a former psychiatrist that lost her marbles.

Maybe you should try this:

Approach female #1 and say, "hey *****! Shut the **** up! You're too damn loud!"

Approach female #2 and say, "you too, ****. Open your pie holes again while I'm trying to sleep and I'll **** punch both of you until your ****ing eyes bleed."

Problem solved.

You're welcome.

Hold random fire drills at early hours in the am by setting off the fire alarm in your Part of the house.

I'm pretty sure if you consult, The Art of War, it will have some options open for you.

Take a tile down from your drop ceiling. Take a blue tooth speaker and put it was close to a vent duct the leads to their bedroom. Play some creepy ass whispers as loud as you can so it comes from their vents. Should be very fun.

Hell you might be able to put it in the vent duct.
