I just walked across the street in my housecoat and asked the men who have

[Maraya1969]

been playing loud BASS music for the last several hours to please turn it down. This is not the first time I have asked them to turn their music down. And they are Spanish and I don't speak Spanish so I can't explain that it is just the BASS that travels like elephants conversing all over the place, (the neighbors in back of me said they hear it so that is almost twice as far).

Anyway they apologized so maybe it won't happen for another month or so.

1. My dear Maraya1969!

And I see that you're in Florida...

So that means that it's 2AM there...

And these guys are playing loud music at that hour?

Where are the police?

Or are they unresponsive?

I am sorry ....

:hug:

2. Police?

Why do people feel so compelled to call the police? What happened to just talking to your neighbor and politely ask that they turn it down? That appears to be exactly what the OP did and they apologized.

I am just so surprised and very disheartened that people's first reaction is to call the police rather than discussing it with their neighbors like adults.

I think that, sadly, the police have a lot more important matters to which they must attend.

4. We talk to our neighbors too, on the rare occasion that we need to...

But sometimes that doesn't work...

I agree, the police have other things that are way more important to do...

I hope my explanation helps clarify!

10. because it's safer

I am going to confront my neighbors, any of them. I don't know who they are; they might have guns. Well this is Texas they most likely have guns. I am afraid of them. Calling the cops is the safer thing ro do.

11. I called the police for music

because it was so loud that pounding on the door nearly to the point of injury to my forearm wasn't loud enough to be heard over the music. I have gone over there several times for the music since as well. But that's drug dealers for you.

5. I understand your suggestion to call the police. I am a woman and it is late.

I was nervous but I do know they are nice people, except I figured they were drinking also.

:hug: Right back at ya Peggy.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

6. Thanks, my dear Maraya...

I was thinking those things too...

I'm glad they're nice people!

:hug:

3. I, for one, applaud your decision to try to discuss it with them rather than call the police.

Or hose them down.

I hate when neighbors are so uninvolved and frightened of one another that everything becomes a "police matter".

7. You're nuts to be walking out in your nightgown to talk to strange men late at night!

That's what the police are for...to keep the peace.

Your behavior is risky, to say the least.

Take better care of yourself.

8. I wasn't in my nightgown I was in a house coat. A long one. But I appreciate

your concern and it is warranted in many respects.

9. I will kick your ass for wearing a housecoat

strange men or not :D
