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.

What'd they say the first time?

brassplayersrock² · Apr 9, 2008, 03:50 PM

they shrugged and said okay

Dakar the Fourth · Apr 9, 2008, 03:52 PM

I don't think the guy really cares then.

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

sek929 · Apr 9, 2008, 03:55 PM

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.

Jawbone54 · Apr 9, 2008, 04:18 PM

No good. Take it and kill it.

Shoot it.

Burn the remains.

Dakar the Fourth · Apr 9, 2008, 04:20 PM

*ahem*

Jawbone54 · Apr 9, 2008, 04:23 PM

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.

Dakar the Fourth · Apr 9, 2008, 04:24 PM

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

Jawbone54 · Apr 9, 2008, 04:26 PM

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

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

Dakar the Fourth · Apr 9, 2008, 04:29 PM

If I did, I was no doubt being dry.

brassplayersrock² · Apr 9, 2008, 04:36 PM

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.

Dakar the Fourth · Apr 9, 2008, 04:36 PM

Slow Ride?

Atheist · Apr 9, 2008, 04:36 PM

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

brassplayersrock² · Apr 9, 2008, 04:38 PM

i might just do that Atheist.

edit:
heh

olePigeon · Apr 9, 2008, 04:43 PM

I'd leave a note on their door.

Atomic Rooster · Apr 9, 2008, 06:31 PM

Call the police because you think something is wrong. They could be DEAD!!11!1!

Probably b.

brassplayersrock² · Apr 9, 2008, 08:34 PM

b then a?

Buckaroo · Apr 9, 2008, 08:40 PM

Call the cops.

brassplayersrock² · Apr 9, 2008, 08:50 PM

oh, i forgot to add. i live in the college dorms

What about the dorm RA? He has some authority.

In the US? Okay that bit about shooting them both was a joke. A JOKE! Put the gun down.

RAILhead · Apr 9, 2008, 09:01 PM

Take a whiz on it.

Rumor · Apr 9, 2008, 09:05 PM

Go into their room while they are away, and set about 20 or so alarm clocks to go off at intervals throughout the night. Make sure to hide them well.

torsoboy · Apr 9, 2008, 09:08 PM

unplug it. they'll figure it out.

brassplayersrock² · Apr 9, 2008, 09:09 PM

that would require me to spend money on alarm clocks. Oh, and the RA for this section doesn't do squat about anything unless it bothers him.

imitchellg5 · Apr 9, 2008, 09:10 PM

man up.

brassplayersrock² · Apr 9, 2008, 09:11 PM

at least try to be original

Laminar · Apr 9, 2008, 09:12 PM

Man up.

edit: NO FREAKIN WAY. I definitely posted this a few minutes after opening this thread....hahahaha

imitchellg5 · Apr 9, 2008, 09:13 PM

Oh, good call.
Seriously, I'd just unplug it. If they plug it back in and it continues to go off all day, throw it out a window.

I chuckled.

Oh and the dorm thing changes everything.

alligator · Apr 9, 2008, 09:50 PM

We had the same thing in my dorm at college. We just turned the power off to the room. Problem solved. We didn't even have to enter the room unauthorized.

How To Break Down A Door | The Art of Manliness

brassplayersrock² · Apr 9, 2008, 11:15 PM

why would i need to break down the door when they keep it unlocked?

lpkmckenna · Apr 9, 2008, 11:34 PM

A sign on the door. Every day.

If it doesn't stop, start getting up at 3am to throw pebbles at his window, loud enough to wake him. Every day.

Oh, and go over the RA's head.

EDIT: And yes, if you're in a dorm, feel free to go into his room to pull the alarm. But still post the sign.

Well then that's a whole new ball game. Go to the next gun swap meet and get some automatic lead projectile launchers and shoot the ****in' place all to ****. That's the pissed off thing to do these days. BUTT, I here prisons have nutjobs screaming and yelling all night so choose carefully.

BUTT...get it? A funny. HAHA!

turtle777 · Apr 10, 2008, 12:16 AM

Ask besson to leave a stool sample in their room. EVERY DAY until it stops.

How so? What evil scheme are you thinking of?

brassplayersrock² · Apr 11, 2008, 11:05 PM

so i talked to the guys again. *shrug, well see what happens" so i've been leaving notes on the door and they have been both torn up and thrown infront of my door. the alarm is still going off

lpkmckenna · Apr 11, 2008, 11:35 PM

unplug the alarm, smash the alarm, leave the pieces in front of their door.

turtle777 · Apr 11, 2008, 11:48 PM

Are you good with electronics ?
You could disassemble the alarm and clip the cable to the little speaker inside. That way, it will be a silent alarm for all eternity.

Andy8 · Apr 12, 2008, 12:07 AM

Pull out the fuses for their room.

I used to do that to my noisy neighbours. Takes them hours to work out that it is only their place is without power.

Chaos Theory · Apr 12, 2008, 01:30 AM

Connect a bomb to the clock.

brassplayersrock² · Apr 12, 2008, 01:32 AM

but wouldn't the tiny blast from the explosion cause an even bigger one someplace else?

Yes, a bigger beautiful one. A peaceful one. Colors, sparkles, beauty and quiet.

Quiet is what you strive for.
