Guy has new neighbour. Gets triggered by his doorbell camera. A noise war develops. Calls cops. reports him to manager. Tries to get back up from neighbours. Nobody will join his crusade. After 2 years of the noise war he accidentally meets the enemy. Gives him the finger. The war continues...

My sister (24) just sent me a text saying "Yo, wtf is Chuck Norris?" and it kinda threw me back into the early eras of the internet, where EVERYBODY knew who he was.

I don't even know much about the man, but I know about the memes.

Anyway, I told her he's part of internet culture from the yesteryears, and she needs to stop talking to whatever uncle who referenced that man. 😂

So era, when was the last time yall thought about ol Chuck Norris, Martial Legend?

Edit:

Edit: Pfft. Apparently he died yesterday! Man. I gotta read the news more.

No wonder she brought him up!

But...the point still stands! Prior to his passing, when was the last time yall referenced the man?

Funny thread, mods better close it asap.

So, gonna try to keep this brief.

About, I want to say - Two years ago roughly, new tenant moves in to the apartment below mine, I'll refer to him as The Douchebag from here on - Previous tenant was an elderly couple who weren't long for this world, and ones before them some hooligans who were constantly yelling slurs (not sure if directed or just irony-poisoning) of whom I'm not sure if they were kicked-out or left on their own (but that's beside the point). The Douchebag immediately installs a doorbell camera on his unit which was a massive Vibe Check Fail in my book, but eh whatever - However eventually after about a month or so he confronts me about walking on the grass in front of his unit, so you know what, I comply and stop taking that shortcut, because hey, in this case he's got a point.

Fast forward to, not sure particularly when it started, but at some point after that he started to develop a habit of going around thumping/slamming on my floor/his ceiling, over the noise of my, well, existence as a human being. Eventually this "behavior" evolves into him playing loud and obnoxious music, and/or "ambience" at absurdly loud volumes - And then eventually blasting Joe Rogan and/or other chud podcasters at high volumes around 8AM Sharp, daily.

I believe around April 2025 (I have the exact timestamp on one of my drives, will check later), neighbor from other side of the building (Henceforth "Concerned Citizen") is clearly getting fed up with this and leaves a handwritten note complaining about it on both the front doorstep of both me and The Douchebag (I guess they didn't know which one of us was the source of the audio) - I check with the building manager, they acknowledge they know it's not me and somethingsomething looking into it. A week later, Concerned calls the cops, they talk to Douchebag, Douchebag directs them to me and insists I'm the problem because "[he] can hear [my] TV!" and "[he's] only loud because [I'm] loud!". I make it known to the cops that I'm not the one who made the call, citing Concerned as being the likely person who did. Cops decide this isn't their problem and leave.

From that point on, Douchebag's aggression starts turning up more and more, I guess he'd decided that I am The Enemy and the one who talks to the cops. Morning of August 23rd (2025), when I'm getting myself ready and packing my last few essentials for a flight to New York for AnimeNYC, Douchebag engages in a particularly spirited round of Floor-Slamming, culminating in yelling insults at me through my floor of which I unfortunately fumbled my attempt to record in a panic, with my phone camera being in Picture mode instead of Video - At this point I had started proactively documenting incidents of Douchebag knocking on my floor. At the airport I did make a point of calling my town's police department (non emergency of course) about the incident and his aggression, for which frankly I was starting to develop safety-concerns, however the response I got from them essentially boiled down to this not being their problem. At some point in the days prior, there had been another instance of yelling through my floor which had prompted me to start recording, after the sound of me getting up to take a piss at 4AM seemed to have also woken him up.

To be clear, these instances of Thumping/Slamming aren't just noise - Shit in my apartment is getting knocked over by how hard he's hitting his ceiling (Honestly I'm sure he's damaged his ceiling at this point). Anyway, a week later I get back from New York, which actually brings me to another matter of attempted diplomacy - I'd realized while in New York staying at a hotel that my bed's box-spring was in bad condition and made audible noise when I got on and off the bed, so, first order of business was buying a new one so I wouldn't make loud noises going to/from bed. For a week I had silence from downstairs, but I realized that it was because Douchebag was on his own vacation and his parents were occupying the apartment to dogsit for him. Naturally, upon his return, the aggression started once more. I don't have a clear timeline at this point (but I'm sure reviewing my recordings+timestamps will help), but it's a slow march of this getting worse and worse.

Eventually, by the start of 2026, Douchebag has started to play music at volumes loud enough that the building is literally shaking. Either end of January or start of February I finally reach out to the building manager about this, which I really ought to have done sooner. They're not dismissive outright, but they basically downgrade this matter to just "noise complaint" in their notes, but I do get a nugget out of them that firmly confirms that Concerned has indeed also been making complaints. Two separate notices get posted on Douchebag's door - I do not know their contents because I don't snoop (make a note of this), and for a while Douchebag behaves. He's still playing music and podcasts, now at merely discourteous volumes instead of building-shakingly, and stopped marching around pounding. Life is good.

March 7th. I wake up around 6AM (right on time), and very shortly after (within minutes), someone who I assumed to be Concerned was yelling/ranting about Douchebag apparently having been playing his music at 4:30 AM, presumably at Douchebag's doorbell-camera judging by the lack of another party speaking. I'm not sure how I slept through it if music was being played at 4:30, but Concerned seems to indicate that they've got no choice but to leave (I don't remember exact phrasing as I don't record stuff going on outside, plus I had just woken up). After this point, Douchebag is back on his bullshit again on Sunday, but cows-out from March 9th through March 19th after I shout back down at him in response to another Thumping-Session. Life is good.

Today, March 20th - I'm busy working from home - Perfectly still at my desk, working. I'm not walking around or doing anything that should make "nuisance" levels of noise. Douchebag is going around, thumping, and multiple times makes particularly hard thumps directly under my feet at my standing-desk, where I HAVE BEEN STANDING STILL. I thump back once in annoyance, and he seems to take that as permission to accelerate, and starts running around doing more thumps. Eventually I hit my time for lunch break, and rather than eat at home with this shitload of fuck going on, opt to walk over to the pseudomexican fast-food restaurant I need not name that's a five minute walk from my apartment for lunch.

Walking back, his window and blinds are wide open, right next to the front door to the building such that in order to not look through it, I would have to either close my eyes or look into the other neighbor's window. In my casual glance, I see him standing in the window, staring directly at me, and our eyes lock - Reflexively, I snap and flip Douchebag the middle finger, which prompts him to very angrily accuse me of being a "creep" who is spying on the neighbors/him, and we quickly get into a shouting match yelling at eachother - I make it fucking known that I'm sick of his shit and want him to stop thumping on my ceiling, make it clear that I wasn't the person complaining about the music, and well, say some things that my lawyer would advise not to repeat online in anger at him. His response is to, 1 - Double-down on the "creep" accusations, 2 - Insist I am the nuisance who is slamming because "the first and last thing [he] can hear each day is [me] walking/"stomping around" (For ref, I can't hear my own footsteps, so X - Doubt), 3 - Claim that his "slamming" is just him "spring cleaning", and 4 - Proclaim that Concerned "isn't" complaining and that he turned down the volume. I don't have exact recording of what he said, but the more I play it back in my head, the more and more it sounds like flagrant Gaslighting, which only makes me more and more enraged at him.

I avoid contact with him for the rest of the workday - I realized that getting into an argument might have been a blunder since he's got a doorbell-camera which probably caught all of it), with a plan to contact Concerned and others who potentially could've been plaintiffs to Douchebag's behavior so I can get an aligned narrative on Douchebag's behavior established, but Concerned doesn't answer their door, and the other unit bordering Douchebag refuses to answer their door - Their dog barks and I hear them telling the dog to shut up, but no one comes. Oh well, time to head over to the theater to watch Project Hail Mary with my friends (really good movie).

Anyway, I get back from that, and once again try to establish contact with Concerned & Friends. I realize Concerned's lights aren't on, but I realize when I check the mailboxes that their Nametag is gone - They've, like they said they would, moved out. So, I try "Other Neighbor" - Once again, dog barks, and now two people yell at the dog to shut up, and neither answer the door. So uh, I guess I'm officially going-it-alone on this.

Anyway, I guess my gameplan now is to properly compile and formalize the evidence I've been building since August (+ the scraps from beforehand), and my account of this two years or so of continuous harassment in one big email - And I guess send it off to the Building Manager/Landlord (whomever the office email goes to) to make it clear and establish context, either proactively ahead of him possibly forwarding that doorbell-camera footage, or correcting the record if he already has (But I believe he hasn't, as no notices have been posted to my door, unlike how quickly they were when I complained).

But you know what? Fuck, it felt GOOD to look him in the eye and let my thoughts on him be known. I'm not going to fucking bend the knee to his Alpha Male bullshit. We ball, we STAND AND FIGHT where I'm from.

TLDR I'm just going assume they're crazy.

They’re all against single family homes and pro high density housing, but regularly have threads about how shit apartment living is.

There was an incredible Era thread a few years back where someone was certain their neighbour was listening to them whenever they went to the toilet.

Looks at the Taliban in Afghanistan.

Looks at the IRGC.

DO IT HEGSETH, TRUMP, GO ON!

How many American jarheads came back from Afghanistan with PTSD? (That's the thing where the Piss ThemSelves Daily at the memory of the Taliban military, aka two bearded guys on a 50cc motorbike with a 1980s Soviet surplus RPG launcher.)

On an unrelated topic, could anyone recommend a publicly listed company that manufactures body bags? Hoping to buy a few shares before Trump and his cronies get in on their latest insider deal.

It's so strange... I don't remember ever meeting or speaking to anyone who likes Bill Maher. Trump has fans (to the great misfortune of all). Jimmy Fallon has fans (perhaps less catastrophically, but inexplicably even so). But Bill Maher? No one ever shows up to defend him. Does he have a television show? Do people watch it? I find this hard to believe.

Why is Bill Maher still a thing?

I watch every now and then on YouTube. He has some interesting guests still. The comedy parts are fine but not really what I'm interested in.


This whole thing he has with Trump is pretty weird. Lol

People in this forum sometimes mention watching. I feel like he still has appeal to gen x and older who were young and watching him at a point where he maybe still had something to say. But he hasn't been interesting in a long time.

Given how Islamophobic and plain racist he is towards Arabs, I'm surprised that people even normalize watching him.

Americans have effectively lost the propaganda war in incredible time. Hilarious really.

And Zelensky allying himself with the perpetrators of the ongoing genocide of the Palestinians and the on and off ethnic cleansing of southern Lebanon will not go well for him. At least so publicly anyway. The racist apartheid colonial outpost in occupied Palestine needs to be utterly isolated and destroyed. That "project" is simply unsalvageable.

If there's one state in this whole mess that's justified in going against Iran, it's Ukraine.

The whole reason the gulf states are looking for help from Ukraine is because Iranian drones have been killing Ukrainians in another genocidal war.

Israel being shit doesn't absolve Iran from their own shittiness.

Bad take on Ukraine my dude. Countless Ukrainians have been killed by iranian drones. They are not aligning with Israel because they shoot down drones.

Once again, Ukraine going after Iran isn't the argument.

It's them supplying the racist apartheid colonial outpost in occupied Palestine the weapons and tools for the ongoing genocide in Palestine and Lebanon. That's the problem. And every argument to justify why that's okay basically reeks of folks deciding that white ukrainians are worth more than the brown people in Palestine and Lebanon.

Again, the issue isn't Ukraine going after Iran or the drones which have killed so many Ukrainians, it's Zelensky giving resources to support the genocide in Palestine and ethnic cleansing in Lebanon.

It's a bad look. Because everyone one knows that Israel has a strong relationship with Russia.

Edit:

So it's inappropriate and you can risk losing your job if you say anything about Kirk's death but saying it with Mueller is perfectly fine?

The worst people alive don't care about hypocrisy.

Kat confirmed in her stream today she isn't running again and really has no interest to. Hope Biss winning is worth it.

She said she ran because it felt right for trying to meet the moment, but doesn't want to become like a long time congress person. Didn't highlight what she'll do next exactlt, but reporting seems possible, and probably will stay active on covering stuff on YT/twitch ala Hasan.

So a political streamer from out of state who has no plans to stay long in politics didn't get elected? Wow, what a shame. The citizens really missed out.

...prompts him to very angrily accuse me of being a "creep"...

....Double-down on the "creep" accusations...

Crazy how the neighbour knew this guy was a creep without even seeing his avatar. He must have a creep face.

So, gonna try to keep this brief.

About, I want to say - Two years ago roughly, new tenant moves in to the apartment below mine, I'll refer to him as The Douchebag from here on - Previous tenant was an elderly couple who weren't long for this world, and ones before them some hooligans who were constantly yelling slurs (not sure if directed or just irony-poisoning) of whom I'm not sure if they were kicked-out or left on their own (but that's beside the point). The Douchebag immediately installs a doorbell camera on his unit which was a massive Vibe Check Fail in my book, but eh whatever - However eventually after about a month or so he confronts me about walking on the grass in front of his unit, so you know what, I comply and stop taking that shortcut, because hey, in this case he's got a point.

Fast forward to, not sure particularly when it started, but at some point after that he started to develop a habit of going around thumping/slamming on my floor/his ceiling, over the noise of my, well, existence as a human being. Eventually this "behavior" evolves into him playing loud and obnoxious music, and/or "ambience" at absurdly loud volumes - And then eventually blasting Joe Rogan and/or other chud podcasters at high volumes around 8AM Sharp, daily.

I believe around April 2025 (I have the exact timestamp on one of my drives, will check later), neighbor from other side of the building (Henceforth "Concerned Citizen") is clearly getting fed up with this and leaves a handwritten note complaining about it on both the front doorstep of both me and The Douchebag (I guess they didn't know which one of us was the source of the audio) - I check with the building manager, they acknowledge they know it's not me and somethingsomething looking into it. A week later, Concerned calls the cops, they talk to Douchebag, Douchebag directs them to me and insists I'm the problem because "[he] can hear [my] TV!" and "[he's] only loud because [I'm] loud!". I make it known to the cops that I'm not the one who made the call, citing Concerned as being the likely person who did. Cops decide this isn't their problem and leave.

From that point on, Douchebag's aggression starts turning up more and more, I guess he'd decided that I am The Enemy and the one who talks to the cops. Morning of August 23rd (2025), when I'm getting myself ready and packing my last few essentials for a flight to New York for AnimeNYC, Douchebag engages in a particularly spirited round of Floor-Slamming, culminating in yelling insults at me through my floor of which I unfortunately fumbled my attempt to record in a panic, with my phone camera being in Picture mode instead of Video - At this point I had started proactively documenting incidents of Douchebag knocking on my floor. At the airport I did make a point of calling my town's police department (non emergency of course) about the incident and his aggression, for which frankly I was starting to develop safety-concerns, however the response I got from them essentially boiled down to this not being their problem. At some point in the days prior, there had been another instance of yelling through my floor which had prompted me to start recording, after the sound of me getting up to take a piss at 4AM seemed to have also woken him up.

To be clear, these instances of Thumping/Slamming aren't just noise - Shit in my apartment is getting knocked over by how hard he's hitting his ceiling (Honestly I'm sure he's damaged his ceiling at this point). Anyway, a week later I get back from New York, which actually brings me to another matter of attempted diplomacy - I'd realized while in New York staying at a hotel that my bed's box-spring was in bad condition and made audible noise when I got on and off the bed, so, first order of business was buying a new one so I wouldn't make loud noises going to/from bed. For a week I had silence from downstairs, but I realized that it was because Douchebag was on his own vacation and his parents were occupying the apartment to dogsit for him. Naturally, upon his return, the aggression started once more. I don't have a clear timeline at this point (but I'm sure reviewing my recordings+timestamps will help), but it's a slow march of this getting worse and worse.

Eventually, by the start of 2026, Douchebag has started to play music at volumes loud enough that the building is literally shaking. Either end of January or start of February I finally reach out to the building manager about this, which I really ought to have done sooner. They're not dismissive outright, but they basically downgrade this matter to just "noise complaint" in their notes, but I do get a nugget out of them that firmly confirms that Concerned has indeed also been making complaints. Two separate notices get posted on Douchebag's door - I do not know their contents because I don't snoop (make a note of this), and for a while Douchebag behaves. He's still playing music and podcasts, now at merely discourteous volumes instead of building-shakingly, and stopped marching around pounding. Life is good.

March 7th. I wake up around 6AM (right on time), and very shortly after (within minutes), someone who I assumed to be Concerned was yelling/ranting about Douchebag apparently having been playing his music at 4:30 AM, presumably at Douchebag's doorbell-camera judging by the lack of another party speaking. I'm not sure how I slept through it if music was being played at 4:30, but Concerned seems to indicate that they've got no choice but to leave (I don't remember exact phrasing as I don't record stuff going on outside, plus I had just woken up). After this point, Douchebag is back on his bullshit again on Sunday, but cows-out from March 9th through March 19th after I shout back down at him in response to another Thumping-Session. Life is good.

Today, March 20th - I'm busy working from home - Perfectly still at my desk, working. I'm not walking around or doing anything that should make "nuisance" levels of noise. Douchebag is going around, thumping, and multiple times makes particularly hard thumps directly under my feet at my standing-desk, where I HAVE BEEN STANDING STILL. I thump back once in annoyance, and he seems to take that as permission to accelerate, and starts running around doing more thumps. Eventually I hit my time for lunch break, and rather than eat at home with this shitload of fuck going on, opt to walk over to the pseudomexican fast-food restaurant I need not name that's a five minute walk from my apartment for lunch.

Walking back, his window and blinds are wide open, right next to the front door to the building such that in order to not look through it, I would have to either close my eyes or look into the other neighbor's window. In my casual glance, I see him standing in the window, staring directly at me, and our eyes lock - Reflexively, I snap and flip Douchebag the middle finger, which prompts him to very angrily accuse me of being a "creep" who is spying on the neighbors/him, and we quickly get into a shouting match yelling at eachother - I make it fucking known that I'm sick of his shit and want him to stop thumping on my ceiling, make it clear that I wasn't the person complaining about the music, and well, say some things that my lawyer would advise not to repeat online in anger at him. His response is to, 1 - Double-down on the "creep" accusations, 2 - Insist I am the nuisance who is slamming because "the first and last thing [he] can hear each day is [me] walking/"stomping around" (For ref, I can't hear my own footsteps, so X - Doubt), 3 - Claim that his "slamming" is just him "spring cleaning", and 4 - Proclaim that Concerned "isn't" complaining and that he turned down the volume. I don't have exact recording of what he said, but the more I play it back in my head, the more and more it sounds like flagrant Gaslighting, which only makes me more and more enraged at him.

I avoid contact with him for the rest of the workday - I realized that getting into an argument might have been a blunder since he's got a doorbell-camera which probably caught all of it), with a plan to contact Concerned and others who potentially could've been plaintiffs to Douchebag's behavior so I can get an aligned narrative on Douchebag's behavior established, but Concerned doesn't answer their door, and the other unit bordering Douchebag refuses to answer their door - Their dog barks and I hear them telling the dog to shut up, but no one comes. Oh well, time to head over to the theater to watch Project Hail Mary with my friends (really good movie).

Anyway, I get back from that, and once again try to establish contact with Concerned & Friends. I realize Concerned's lights aren't on, but I realize when I check the mailboxes that their Nametag is gone - They've, like they said they would, moved out. So, I try "Other Neighbor" - Once again, dog barks, and now two people yell at the dog to shut up, and neither answer the door. So uh, I guess I'm officially going-it-alone on this.

Anyway, I guess my gameplan now is to properly compile and formalize the evidence I've been building since August (+ the scraps from beforehand), and my account of this two years or so of continuous harassment in one big email - And I guess send it off to the Building Manager/Landlord (whomever the office email goes to) to make it clear and establish context, either proactively ahead of him possibly forwarding that doorbell-camera footage, or correcting the record if he already has (But I believe he hasn't, as no notices have been posted to my door, unlike how quickly they were when I complained).

But you know what? Fuck, it felt GOOD to look him in the eye and let my thoughts on him be known. I'm not going to fucking bend the knee to his Alpha Male bullshit. We ball, we STAND AND FIGHT where I'm from.

TLDR I'm just going to assume they're crazy.

Uh oh we've got a tough guy here!

Spoiler:  (click to show)(click to hide)

I know what to do with tough guys...

Yeah it creates the impression that trans people are just dressing up as the opposite gender rather than actually being their gender.

The vast vast vast majority of them are.  For every Hunter Schafer you have literally 100000 hons (and also Ben franklins) just playing dress up and performing misogynistic stereotypes of women.

The modern leftist/woke idea that actors have to essentially be the exact person they're portraying in every way is one of the more retarded ideas these assholes have.
