An Etiquette Question

[el diablo]

So i have an absent neighbor who allows his fallow to visit his property which is next to mine on long weekends.
This then entertains me with a Boeing 747 DB loud screeching girl in the pool, in conjunction with a non stop barking dog, and then the "adults" arguing.

So..should I go over there and ask them to please be quieter, or just break out the NWA and hit'em'wit'it??

Ahh, fukkin criste..forever labelled as "he couldn't spell etiquitte" on the intraweb thing. thwap0

 

[mongooz]

call the police.....disturbing the peace is actually a crime.

or electrify the pool....

You have a guitar and an amp.

Fight fire with fire.

Ask them to please lower the DBs a bit. If they don't THEN break out the NWA....

That's what I was thinking.

Both are acceptable options.

Police are unnecessary ; it's just one weekend, and a long weekend at that. They probably have more serious issues.

But I would complain to your neighbours when they return, if it bothered me.

according to the OP.....it not just one weekend, it's long weekends......so multiple events....ongoing problem.

that would be great......if you had 4 full stacks of Marshall Mark I 100 watters.......but if you have a fender deluxe....not so much

I thought we all had at least 100W of firepower


Maybe have Pragestock over there?

Fair enough, but this doesn't strike me as a situation where going from zero to police intervention is an optimal response.

actually calling the police is exactly the right response....because it creates a police report....and if the behavior continues, you have a documented paper trail that allows a legal solution. judges do not look favorably on folks with multiple police reports against them.

and besides, from the OP, it sound like this is HARDLY a situation that is starting at zero.

I actually brought the Saldano outside the last time, and they shut up before I could lay into it.

you need to wait until 4 am.....then fire up the soldano.....little tit for tat

We did until losing 50% in the Great Sound Compression Depression in 2007.

Wouldn't be a targeted message. I need a drone with strobes and 100watts.

well then.....a couple of cans of Homer Formby's poured over their cars.....that should get the message across.

 

[el diablo]

THAT is a targeted message. Man, don't eff with mongooz..

For simple everyday problems like this, I really think that if you should talk to your neighbors, like an adult, before you call the police or get into a battle of one-ups-manship. They may not have any idea how loud they actually are. If they can't be reasoned with, move on to plan B. FWIW, the police are useful for resolving a specific situation (like a raging late night party, domestic dispute, etc) but not for instructing your neighbors in every day courtesy/respecting their neighbors.

actually calling the police is exactly the right response....because it creates a police report....and if the behavior continues, you have a documented paper trail that allows a legal solution. judges do not look favorably on folks with multiple police reports against them.

Not necessarily....it depends on the department policies on what constitutes a reportable incident versus something like a record of contact, which may not have any real detail. Disturbing the peace isn't a criminal offense in most jurisdictions so I'm not sure how a judge factors into the equation.
