Noise


^ian^ How can one person be so F()*$#)@*$)$ noisy!!!! The person who lives in the apartment above me walks like an elephant, shouts when he talks, and doesn't get to bed until the wee small hours. Time to do something about it.
BabyDoll Gas him!! Dubai Knight
His number is 0800 JUMBO. Its a trunk call.
:lol: :lol: :lol:

That's is the most annoying fcking thing ever! I used to live in an appartment inhabited by 3 "buffalos - fat cows" who walked like buffalo. It was an old building with wooden floors... I complained, etc. but one of them was related to one of the buildins owners. The landlord offered to move me to another bigger apartment but I just moved the hell out.
It has to be a lot of noise since aren't the floors concrete. But you know how some of those crappy developers build :wink:
Maybe the building "by laws" require that the a certain % of floor area be carpeted, etc.
Want to borrow the shut gun? ^ian^
There's so many clauses in the lease agreement it wouldn't be hard to get them on a violation... but diplomacy is the best initial tactic.
Do you know where I can get a horse head? Dubai Knight
Speak to the DFM. You are connected.
Consider yourself lucky, they might be newlyweds upstairs...

Yes, but it is a 13-1/2 hour flight away.
Use camel instead. should be easy. ^ian^ I actually put up a sign in the lift last week about it, and someone wrote a note under it saying that it was pissing them off too, presumably a next door neighbour. This was my subtle hint. It's standard thickness concrete floors/walls so you can imagine the noise must be (in)decent to penetrate in all directions. Of course I will go and confront him if it continues, but one doesn't want to create unnecessary friction between neighbours. Either that, or I will get the lease cancelled. KeithL A guy this noisy wont change his ways.... I hate noisy idiots too :evil: ^ian^
Some people, some times, are oblivious to how much noise they can make, especially if it's their first trot outside of an environment such as a family home or a villa.
If made aware, then they can subconciously alter their actions.
If not... well... then they need to be relocated.

I think I have an idea of what nationality your neighbour is, the way he lives hmmm....very familiar and if I'm right you're in for more treat. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: ^ian^
What the fck are you talking about? reviewer
Geez...Do I deserve such vile in the morning..Nah...just saying that your neighbours ahve attitude and its their upbringing.. They will not change even if you confront them...try confronting them you and wait how they react.....you;re in for a treat you never expected. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: BabyDoll So, you recommend to confront or not? :roll: ^ian^
Well, go on... spit out the nationality you think they are and I will tell you whether you're right or not.
Otherwise I could talk through my arse and say 'I think I know what nationality they are...." without really having a clue. reviewer
Yes..indeed confront and since dear Ian from down under.....she can show them her claws..... :lol: BabyDoll
Nah, its the weather + traffic + no one is around to do any friggin work!
But of course back to the heavy walking neighbour topic, instead of living in misery perhaps you should knock on the door and tell them politely. Best is wear your pyjamas, bring your stuffy nose, a mug of hot drink, blood shot eyes when you talk to him. Hopefully he will feel guilty. If things doesnt change then turn nasty.
p/s Make sure you sneeze on him before you leave too. For whats worth at least he gets your cold and will be spending the next few days in bed - quiet at last ?! ^ian^
Her claws?
What nationality do you think they are?
reviewer
Haven't you had your sleep for the last couple of days, ..go ahead blow your steam on him ..not on me....you twink.... you both deserve each other.....
reviewer
Haven't you had your sleep for the last couple of days, ..go ahead blow your steam on him ..not on me....you twink.... you both deserve each other..... BabyDoll HA HA ^ian^ Still anxious to know what nationality you think they are... you seem to be avoiding the subject now. reviewer
:oops: :oops: Yeah you're right the traffic and boredom have something with this.... :lol: :lol: reviewer
Nah...I still do...by the way hope you have more good times coming up with your neighbours..... :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: ^ian^
Right... how about you shut up and sit in the corner while the adults talk. reviewer
:lol: :lol: You need sleep mate, you're eyes are all red.....OI... still anxious to know if I do really know your neighbor eh... :lol: :lol: ^ian^
Well I think if someone comes out and labels a particular nationality they need to back it up with actually naming that nationality. Don't ya think? reviewer
Well I do think also if someone have the decency to talk nicely then one will surely deserve a decent answer. St.Lucifer I've no clue what nationality they are. I think I know the species...I believe them be human beings .. No fuss, I've had this couple of times from my next door beautiful russian girl .. at 3 in the morning shouting on phone... went straight out, knocked the door.. no one opened.. so just shouted from outside.. " Can you please keep your voice down.. I gotta get some sleep" . went to them again next day morning.. Told her politely.. look here lady, please keep your voice down.. please dont make me loose my sleep. Never had a problem after that.. yeah ofcourse she stopped talking to me. :D ^ian^
LOL! Whatever... way to go for labelling people by nationality. BabyDoll So Ian is your neighbour good looking ? ! St.Lucifer
Wow man, regardless of the chances of you being a Sherlock Holmes and doing the guess of their nationality, I think it would be easier for Ian to know it. ^ian^
Not too good at looking, as my sign didn't obviously make a difference. Concord Just knock on his door and tell him that you will be having a party soon and want to warn him that there might be noise. Depending of who he is he might be interested in attending the party and you can find out a bit about who he is, who lives there, etc. You might get lucky and it is someone subletting or living with unrelated person of the opposite sex.... Then when you politely complain to him and he does not quiet down then he might be thinking about his living situation :P If the above does not apply then you are screwed... ^ian^ Come to think of it, I am thinking about having a party soon. Concord
Ain't it Australia day soon? ^ian^
It surely is! and apparently India day too... but of course it was Australia Day first. St.Lucifer Indian Republic day. 26th Jan ^ian^
You're mistaken. January 26th is Australia Day. HP if u have to date the person above u? :lol: what woud u do? ^ian^
Trust you to chime in with a pointless statement. HP There is famous topic , kiss the person above u , i thought might be it cud help here :oops: ^ian^ Right. St.Lucifer
ok ur's is a century or more older.. So the party is yours ! :D ^ian^
You'll be on the invite list, don't you worry. St.Lucifer Danke....pls let me know in advance if u need some supplies..ofcourse legitimate, lawful ones .. BabyDoll
Are you walking all the way to this part of the town then :lol: St.Lucifer
Thanks for reminding me abt the cab charges..Would u pick me up from Bur Dubai? U drive dont u? ^ian^
Catch a bus... if you start out on the 25th you should get here on time. St.Lucifer
thanks but no thanks.. I'm well connected... ehmm
to hitch a ride..that is. BabyDoll Well then, you wouldnt need a ride from me then p/s make sure you bring some goan style fish / prawn / crab dishes ^ian^
It's bloody Australia day! BBQ! Meat! Dubaidude007 Two things: 1) Try talking to them. You would be surprised to learn how many bad situations can be resolved with a simple, polite conversation. 2) I need someone who has been posting a lot more frequently than me to answer this for me: Is HP functionally retarded or just pretending to be so? ^ian^
We thought he was pretending to be retarded... and then we met him. BabyDoll
Does that mean I am not invited :cry: Concord
You can BBQ just about everything! Including fingers (well, I can!) BabyDoll
Sure. Your choice. But we dont want to taste your fingers. St.Lucifer
Dint u read it? U r the root of my well connectedness. :) Goan style Crab Xucatti for sure.. :P St.Lucifer
Will think abt it.. influenced by Hannibal ...last night on mbc2.. BabyDoll
Make sure you bring the best. We only want the finest.
For those carnivorous, you can eat Concords fingers. They are 10 of them so prepare to fight for your share. St.Lucifer
20... arniegang A low confrontational approach could be maybe you ask the owner or his/her agent to deal with it. Ultimately like you say if it is breaching the terms in your leasehold then maybe approach the manageent company and ask them to deal with it. ^ian^
Well, there's the catch... but I won't get into that. arniegang
you cant just leave it there Ian thats unfair, tease posts are not allowed its a new forum rule :lol: scarlet Is it halal meat? St.Lucifer
Nonconformance reported... Can b made halal. Dubaidude007
I guess Concord's fingers are classified as the other red meat? BabyDoll Without diverting too far from the topic aka "the noisy neighbour", perhaps we can cook him/her instead, at Ian's party. Spare concords' little fingers. And he can do the cooking ! ^ian^
Did you ever think for a second that eating people was wrong? BabyDoll
Who says eating? ^ian^
Well you know... that's usually why you barbecue something. BabyDoll Well, you know, it could be Concord's side hobby to BBQ "anything". I figure he must have ran out of "things" to BBQ therefore he went for his fingers ! Dubai Knight
Pretty much everything tastes ok with barbecue sauce!
Mmmmm...a nice bit of 'long pig'!
