for the last couple of weeks, my neighbors alarm clock has been going off all day while they are gone. it is one of those high pitched annoying as hell sounding ones and I can hear it through the wall. It has been two weeks of this morning in and night out. I mentioned this to them a couple of days ago and it's still going.

would you either:
a) talk to them about it again
or
b) go into their room while they're not in since they leave their door closed but unlocked and unplug the alarm.

I don't think the guy really cares then.

You know, that happened to Lomez, so he blew his neighbor's circuit.

I'd tamper with the alarm so that it no longer works, but plug it back in and make it seem like you haven't done anything.

No good. Take it and kill it.

Shoot it.

Burn the remains.

Oh my god...

Another Seinfeld reference? You must be a bigger fan than you're letting on.

Let's just hope the guy doesn't have a cat.

Letting on? When have I ever quantified or qualified my love for the show?

Didn't you once say it was "okay?"

Not verbatim, but that was the idea...as I recalled.

yeah, trust me. I know the episode in question; but I am not pulling crap out of my ass and making a made up thread. it's really getting annoying when I don't have music going.

Unplug and put it in front of their door. They'll get the idea.

Probably b.
