My subwoofer can comfortably vibrate through eight inches of reinforced concrete, and one floor of fully furnished living space. How do I know? The two police officers who vigorously knocked on my door last night informed me.
Let me say this... in my defence.
First of all, my overly sensitive and vindictive neighbour is going through a vicious divorce. I've heard him yelling in the parking lot as SHE piles the kidZ into her car and zooms away. Second, HE is only leasing that condo short-term (and he's out of there this month), so screw him. Third, he's an asshole and drives a Tesla.
By the way, his ex-wife is extremely HOT. If I was 'divorce-guy,' I might be pissed off at the planet and perpetually angry as well. Just saying...
... this is how I imagined his EX would look in a bedroom...
In any case, and with all due respect in trying to be a decent human being, I did NOT raise the volume of my sound system to piss anyone off on purpose. I was downstairs in the kitchen and had chosen a random "u -tubE" playlist — when a song came up. Obviously, people don't balance the volume on those sets. Oven mitts held a roast chicken when, to my horror, that song kicked in... at TWICE the volume of all previous tunes.
I knew I'd be in trouble — 'divorce-guy' was home.
It couldn't have taken me very long to — gently put down my sizzling honey-garlic chicken, gingerly reach for the bubbling (and perfectly browned) casserole of scalloped potatoes, place that cookie tray of garlic bread 'au gratin' on broil, and — rush upstairs for my volume controls. It was too late. I knew my nitpicky frustrated neighbour, had probably made the call. He's done it before.
I waited for the authorities to arrive while closely monitoring my garlic bread. But then I thought to myself, "What the heck? I might as well play the rest of that —'too loud'— song, and perhaps a few others."
And yes, I changed things up by choosing several wonderfully melodic ballads and a handful of reelee touching love songs. I hoped 'divorce-guy' would appreciate them as I balanced the treble.
The knock on my door was, as I said, expected. The two officers played their roles to perfection. This time, the male was the good cop, and the female played the bad one. That movie cliché is true. After a somewhat brief discussion and many apologies, including an invitation ( ...bribery attempt... ) to sample my savoury chicken, they gave me a stern warning. And off they went, on another call.
"Whew..." I thought to myself. I was lucky and I've vowed to change. I will never make the mistake of choosing a playlist without being able to supervise the volume.
And listen, I tried being friendly and talking with 'divorce-guy,' but he was inconsolable. I get it. Some of us have been there and understand. Each of us, handle life's challenges in our own way.
On another note, the Condo Committee has already informed me they've vetted my new neighbours. Supposedly, I'll be pleased.
I guess that means they like good music. 😊
Have you ever had issues with a neighbour about anything?
How's your music volume: reasonable, or are you prone to blast?
... if you're curious what song had invited the authorities, itZ attached to MY comment below...
... this was divorce-guy's SECRET girlfriend — and the probable cause of his divorce...
My scalloped potatoes those police turned down... that female officer looked twice.

Seems like a crime to interrupt the chicken, potatoes and garlic bread. Yet Bad Boy what you going to do when they come for you? Distant past maybee.
Oven gloves and hot food don't make for easy or quick movements. Patience, is the key to any success in the kitchen. 🤗
What song was it that was too loud , provoked my neighbour, and invited that squad car?
I was drawn to this tune (and video) when it first came out three years ago. The genre is "Dance-pop deep house," and if this song doesn't get your feet tapping, I don't know what will. Jack up the volume to eleven and start dancing. As a side note, the video is dark, with a splash of morbid humour thrown in. 😂
And it's a love story. 💕
... Dance music is best appreciated with club-style volume. My sound system can duplicate that vibe. In a condo — thatZ not an asset...
Kind of a catchy one my friend. I do not listen to new stuff much as a rule..
@author51
I find new songs through my daughters, who constantly share tunes that have caught their attention. And you know how one song leads to another on the net. It's interesting to see where artists are going these days.
@Paulxx001 True that. I do listen to a few, especially reggae and found a few news ones I have not heard by new artists. Reggae and latin music makes me move as much as Classic rock tunes does..xoxo
Hot🥵🥵
Gotta wear gloves... 🔥💦
So sexy!
True... 👍
Absolutely beautiful!!!!!!!
lol 😂
System glitch. No worries. 👍
She was worth two comments. 😂👍
That is the reason i decided to not to move into a condo , all those rules. great track, oh yes louder the better, and no complaints from neighbours
. mmm was that Katya ....
Aside from being careful with the bass from my sub, I don't mind the lifestyle. We all get along. My car provides any volume I need to seriously exhale.
It might have been... 😂💕🔥
Mmmmm thanks for the scalloped potato picture! (the others didn't do much for me
)
That recipe is divine and never fails.🤗
Yeah... I gather.
I have a lady friend here, who keeps reminding me that women don't appreciate the raw female form. Which constantly puts me in a tough spot.
Without the pics, my posts are just words.
And we know people here donT read or pay attention to those. 😶
Yummy
And nut-free... 👍
Most feminine body ever
She certainly has all the right parts. 👍
Beatiful pussy!
You have an eye for beauty. 👍
I would love to eat that.
Many would.
Waoo Kiss and more from denmark Elsinore
Yay... Denmark... 👍
Yeeeees it's wonderful i love
Glad to hear that. 👍
@Paulxx001 it's perfect story want to live this moments
SEXY! Would love to Creampie you!!!
You mean HER. 😐
So far I've avoided neighbourly disputes.
Continued good luck with that. 👍
Except for this soon-to-be-gone guy, so have I.
Couldn’t ever live in a condo again!
There are pros and cons, but I understand those cons. I'm lucky to live with quiet neighbours. I might be the loudest one. 😲
I'm learning to adapt. 😂
No fight or jealousy only love should prevail every where
True... 👍
Your meal sounds incredible!!
I have often blasted music. And had neighbors blast their fights.
Fighting neighbours is never fun to listen to. Thankfully, we're all happily doing whatever it is we do here. 😂
I've made that meal so many times I can do it in my sleep. You know, when you've perfected something, it's a breeze. I'm always in awe of some of the meals you describe.🤗💕
Mmm totally yummy!
Totally agree... 👍
I had an upstairs neighbor that fought with her bf almost every weekend ... at 3 am. The ceiling-broom-rap did nothing. One day, I left a note on her door saying that I was sure she didn't know how much sound traveled through the vent and that I had connections if she wanted the name of a good marriage counselor.
I'm very noise sensitive so I never have anything blasting.
This place is sound-proofed: I rarely hear neighbours. Unfortunately, the concrete floor is an excellent conductor of bass notes, so one has to be mindful. I rarely raise the volume for longer than a song.
Did you save their marriage? 🤔
@Paulxx001 They weren't married but I think the comment opened her eyes. She gave him the boot.
Very SEXY!!! 😍🔥🤩😜🥰😁😊😉😘😋😈🍆💦💦💦💦💦💦🤤🤤🤤🤤
That's affirmative. 👍
Yes I have had issues with a downstairs neighbour recently who have been playing their music too loud at all hours of the night. Luckily when I went to talk to them about it, they were fine and keep it much lower now. I do play my drums, but only when they are at work during the day. xoxo
Well, it was nice of them to listen to you.
OMG, if I played my set here, I'd be locked up. LOL 😲
I wish I had an electronic set like yours: at least you can play with earphones. 👍
@Paulxx001 Yep which lessens the noise factor considerably. I wish my neighbours had listened to their music with ear phones on..lol. Do you have a set of ear phones so you can listen to your music without disturbing the neighbour?
@author51
I do, but I never use them. I usually do other stuff while listening and enjoy the mobility. But honestly, I rarely blast, and when I do, it's for never more than a couple of minutes in the day — when I know I won't disturb anyone.
My tongue is hanging out of my mouth
Don't let it dry out... hydrate. 💦
So, asshole in a Tesla, hates your music, wife took a powder. Have some mercy.😉. Invite him to dinner and a drink. I think he needs a friend. Luckily I don’t have to share a wall. I dread the day if I have to. Like, the “home”.
I tried but he's still at the "angry stage" of his breakup.
My neighbours and I all get along, and the building is sound-proofed. Except that concrete floors are perfect conductors of bass notes. 😲
Physics... 😐
Gawd she is so perfect!!
Although, we don't know what her views on global warming are. 🤔
@Paulxx001 i don't think for what i have in mind id care LOL
@jeff_blueeyes64
Gotcha...
... neither would I. 👍🔥
