If it wasn’t obvious, Lorah in NYC says the response note here was most definitely a total lie. (The residents of 4B are musical theater actors, and sing-and-dance-a-thons are not uncommon events in their apartment.)

“It would be a shame if I didn’t support the troops overseas by pounding on the walls and floor, blaring Pitbull, having an orgy in the hallway, and decorating my apartment to look like Aunt Erma’s sparkly 4th of July sweater vest. Piss off, Osama.”

The Tenants must be a sleeper cell. 4B is doing their patriotic duty making noise all night…

If I were Lorah, I would purchase a bugle and practice revelry songs at the crack of dawn. Since the residents of 4B are so supportive of the armed forces, I’m sure they wouldn’t mind showing their solidarity and support by getting up at the same time as army people.

I hate when people use stuff like this as an excuse to be total douches. This is when filming comes in handy. I had neighbors who did stuff like this and made up huge excuses as to why their noise was justified, aka coming back from Iraq or having going away parties etc to management.. So one day me and my now ex decided we needed to catch our asshole neighbors in the act. We called the cops and had them come over and hide behind the corner with me while I filmed. It seems the cops have had many problems with these guys so they were cool with me getting proof for management. My ex knocked on their door and when they opened it up he asked them to turn it down and they laughed at him, told him to fuck off and that they can do whatever they want because they’re military (My ex and I were military at the time too). My ex was in the doorway so the guy pushes my ex out so hard that he almost flips over the handrail. So the cops jumps out, arrests the guy for disrupting the peace and assult and I went to the opened door and filmed while the 2nd cop went inside. They were caught with prostitutes, illegal drugs and underage drinking. I handed a DVD to the management and had them watch it. They were evicted and that was the last we heard from them. I swear it was like an episode of COPS. You can call me an asshole for what I did but it was 6 months straight, every other 3 days of partying with shitty techno music, drunk morons screaming outside on the patio, and jumping, stomping and people falling down until about 4am in the morning.

I often fight terrorism with sing-and-dance-a-thons. Isn’t that just standard practice?

I have family and friends in the military, and I hate when people feel entitled because they know/are people in the military.

To be fair, if this is NYC we’re talking about and not just a random town in the state of New York, 11 PM is a somewhat early time to ask people to stop listening to music/singing/dancing by. 12 AM is reasonable, 11 PM, eh… not so much.
I understand non New Yorkers and at least one New Yorker who lives on a quiet street will probably disagree with that statement.

Hmm, love how note writer #1 assumes he or she speaks for “The Tenants.” Wouldn’t that include the residents of 4B?
A little presumptuous to claims to speak for someone and decide they’re complaining about themselves.

God, don’t you ppl GET it??? If we can’t bring home half-a-dozen friends from the Swinger’s Shack, snort crystal meth straight out of the saucepan, and blast Molly Hatchet while we hold bare-floor nude pogo-stick races–hey, if we can’t do those things whenever and wherever we choose, then THE TERRORISTS HAVE WON!!!
Stupid apartment building…bunch of frickin’ FASCIST!

Oh, how I wish these were my “patriotic” neighbors. Each morning at 3 am they would be awakened by Kate Smith belting out “God Bless America” through loudspeakers set outside their door.

As someone with inconsiderate noisey neighbours; Team Complainers.
And before anyone chimes in with “Why not just talk to them about it?”; if you’re making noise in a residential area at night, you already know you’re bothering people and have chosen to do it anyway, so you’re clearly the kind of person who there is no point asking politely.

Serving in the military does not justify acting like an asshole. There are plenty of clubs, bars, etc. where you can whoop and holler late into the night without bothering your neighbors.

Is it just me or does the second note look like it was written a few words at a time by eight different people

I would take the response they wrote back and bring it to the leasing office right away. While the musical theater ladies thought they were smart with their note, they just admitted guilt to what they did. I do wonder why they decided to add the terrorist part. Personally i would tell the office that i have a friend who is muslim that used to come by but wont now because he is scared of potential hate crimes.

These people are asshats, I had neighbours like this before…. After months I asked them to turn the music down and let’s just say I now have to live elsewhere as they called cps on me, the social security, the dog warden etc all for phoney claims and ordered copious fast food and fuel etc in my name. I say report them and use the Muslim friend lie too.. These sorts of people need to go far away and spontaneously combust!

I kinda think that they said Terrorists, because, if you look at the first note, where it says ‘The Tenants’ — you could make a case, that if someone were say, under the influence, it could look like ‘The Terrorists’. Just sayin’.

“Now who’s the TERRORIST?!” I smell sarcasm. If I had to guess, I would say the people are making a sarcastic/passive aggressive joke… A joke that Family Guy or South Park would make.

As much as I want to snark on Lorah’s name (“Lorah”? Really? Plain old “Laura” wasn’t good enough?), it’s probably her parents’ fault.
As for the noisy neighbors, dude, quiet hours are called QUIET HOURS for a reason — and it’s really quite reasonable to expect, you know, QUIET after about 10:00 at night.

“Now who’s the terrorist?”
Uhm, the person who threw in the terrorism reference out of nowhere and is trying awful hard to convince everyone she’s a patriotic, freedom-loving, troop-supporting American?
C’mon, a red white and blue apartment?
“I think some of these people are trying too hard. I think that when the truck of anthrax comes, it’s going to have UNITED WE STAND and a Bush-Cheney on the back.
And a Toby Keith damned tape playing… “

If the “terrorist” thing was a joke: eh. They still shouldn’t have been making so much noise. If it wasn’t a joke: f*ck those people. I once told my friend to dump a guy who was in the military because he was cheating on her. Then he told me that I was “anti-American” – because, ya know, people in the military can act like dickheads and get away with it. I told him that I had plenty of friends and the majority of the men in my family that served in the military. They bring honor to their position and do not use it as an excuse for behaving like douchebags.

I was on 4B’s side until I read their reply. Bringing up accusations of terrorism seems more like something an internet troll would do. Sad that they couldn’t be a little more creative than that.

It really pisses me off when people use patriotism and the war on terror as excuses for being disrespectful.
