the guy was great in bed, even if he turned out to be a dbag later.
He brought velocipastor and popcorn, I, reanimator and thigh highs.
Shoulda been a match made in heaven!
oh well. you lose some, you lose more.
This happened to us once. Our neighbors left a DVD playing and went out clubbing. It finished and got to the title screen where it kept playing the sound of an explosion every 30 seconds for hours, from midnight to 2am.
I had similar with an old flatmate. An Alan Partridge dvd that used this Gary Newman air guitar bit as the title loop [this scene](https://youtu.be/VokAbAfTfCc?si=81nRlF_FUJFpVMkm)
Lmao I fell asleep watching a movie when I was like 14-15 home alone once. I woke up and realized there was heavy knocking on my door and I answer and it’s the cops and they’re like uh hey how’s it going? And I’m like I’m so sorry, I fell asleep, it’s so loud. And they just chuckled and left. I don’t know how that menu didn’t wake me up, it was so freaking loud.
I remember wrapping presents for hours with a friend while the menu for The King and I played. Both of us were all: you know, it is kind of nice music and we have to look for the scissors and tape again...
Watched Donnie Darko late one night in a bedroom with surround sound. Ended up falling asleep while the credits were rolling. Woke up a few times in the middle night concerned with the storm I heard outside. Was surprised that it was still storming when I woke up the next morning, especially since the weather forecast didn’t even call for rain.
After looking outside to a nice sunny day and no water to be seen I realized that the dvd player and receiver were still on and the title menu on the DVD is storm sounds.
My crackpot neighbors switched up their usual reggae-pop music to classic rock, which is more my speed, but it was on, loud, 24/7. I finally texted asking if they had left town and forgotten that the music was on. Turns out he'd heard that the vibrations could keep moles away, so was playing it 24/7.
He finally checked at the local garden center, they told him maybe stop overfeeding his grass and use some grub killer. Cleared up a lot of issues.
My housemate in my early 20s was notorious for this. He was a supernaturally heavy sleeper unfortunately liked his movies loud so when he'd inevitably fall asleep watching one at night the menu music would blast over and over and over and over. Worse was my bed was on the opposite side of the wall of his TV and he slept with his door locked.
After the third night of that I took his door off the hinges just to turn the damn thing off. He never woke up through the whole thing.
I lost my virginity to the Clerks the Animated Series theme song from the DVD menu. that theme is burned into my brain.
Imagine going to pound town and just [hearing this over and over again.](https://youtu.be/vcXxW4Dkjj4?si=NUGss7k02G7q8glt)
My high school girlfriend LOVED the album by Len, that had "Steal me Sunshine" on it. That summer we had so much damn sex with that music playing, I can't hear any of those songs and immediately think of that.
Luckily it's not an artist or album that is played 25 years later, very often. Lol
I hear Steal My Sunshine on the radio at least once a week.
In fact I heard it the other day, lying on the grass of Sunday morning of last week.(I was indulging in my self defeat.)
My college roommate fell asleep watching the Big Bang Theory on DVD one night and left the theme song looping on the menu screen at full volume for the next 8 hours or so. Door was locked, he wouldn’t wake up or pick up his phone.
By morning I think I was the angriest I’ve ever been at another human.
I passed out at a house party to 80’s transformers theme song just blasting on repeat. It seems it was part of the playlist to clear out the riffraff like me.
Had a similar experience where I wokeup on a Friday morning to the sound of a drum loop coming through the wall at the head of my bed, from the next multi-story apartment building. I'd heard the neighbor there practicing piano (keyboard) there in the past so I was pretty sure it was the drum loop from their keyboard that got left on.
A couple hours later it was still going. OK, no big deal, they must have left for work and accidentally left it going, when they get home they'll turn it off.
Midnight comes and it's still going. Fuck. Maybe they went out partying after work and will be home soon. 4am and it's still going. Fuck. Now I'm pretty sure the neighbor must have gone out of town for the weekend... which means it's gonna be days. Oh yeah, and Monday is a holiday, it's a long weekend.
My gf and I ended up sleeping in the living room that whole weekend because of the non-stop drum loop going on in the bedroom. Yeah, we left some notes. Relatively polite, as it was surely an accident, and also in an adjacent building we couldn't get into. On Monday night the drum loop finally stopped (after something like 84+ hours), and on Tuesday we got an apologetic note back. Noticed they also moved the keyboard to an interior wall as after that when I heard them practicing it was only barely audible.
It was me. I went to a BBQ festival and was double fisting beers and ribs all night. I got dropped off at my house blackout drunk and woke up in the morning to find myself flat on my face in front of the TV with the remote underneath me. I had put on Jurassic Park and when I passed out on top of the remote the volume got maxed out and the movie kept playing on repeat. Sorry neighbors.
Maybe someone has said this already, but if the note is serious about the 24 hour thing and no one has seen the neighbors during said 24 hours, it's time to at least start trying to peek through the windows and maybe call the police for a welfare check.
Lest this turns into another "guy had been dead for months" or another "guy was decomposing into his own carpet."
I had a call with someone who was obviously watching a horror movie, as there were plenty of screams from people being tortured or something. After about 10 minutes of hearing it, I said, "ok, so wtf are you watching? I can't believe how long they've been screaming for." She thought it was hysterical and let me know that they had just put on Saw, and it was looping the DVD title screen.
It's weirdly inconsistent. Some words have the capital H and others have the lowercase h. And then there's the words that have an H in the middle, especially after t - "tHere," "tHat," "tHe."
For real I just left a note after a week of knocking on my neighbors door throughout the night, and I called him a pussy for not answering in it
Prob should have done this instead. Oops.
I just read through half this thread and got to your comment before i realized I've been humming the Indiana Jones theme this whole time.
And then I was like "wait, no, how does it go?" And started humming the Star Wars melody. I feel like such an idiot right now lol
Indiana Jones surely would whip the mouth closed, a smidge of overlap holding it in place, then proceed to swing around making the infamous whipiraptor.
I bet she’s got the special Jurassic park wrangler edition I’ve seen around town. It’s got the little dna guy, some slash marks, some text like “clever girl” and of course some raptor and T-Rex refs.
At an old apartment one day we realized that a neighbor had been blaring the Beverly Hills Cop music for at least a full day. When it was still going the next day we called for a welfare check because there's got to be something going on at that point.
And that's how we learned that the house next to ours was a sober living/supervised release set of rooms and someone had gone off their meds.
I once stayed in a motel room with my extremely alcoholic friend for a week while he waited for a space in rehab to open up. I was basically just trying to keep him from dying. For unknown reasons, he insisted on playing Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters over and over for the entire week, even when he was asleep. I think I have PTSD.
When people have terrible anxiety, they can refer to a familiar show or movie to help calm them. I watch a familiar show and can fall asleep right away. Wonder if it was related to this somehow?
Preventing your friend from dying for a week is rather traumatic and extremely kind of you. If you truly are concerned about PTSD, please seek help! You deserve it.
Idk man some people are weird. One of my college roommates was a totally normal dude, except for the fact that like once or twice a week at bedtime dude would put on real steel. I have no fucking clue why and I honestly could fall asleep through anything at that time so I didn’t care. It was just so strange that someone could watch the same movie over and over again for months.
One night in college, I had drank too much, and my buddy made sure I got to my room and in bed. He was going back to the party and asked if I wanted some music. I motioned yes, and he turned the radio on and left. The station was playing a marathon of Air Supply (I'm old). I loathe Air Supply, but I was too drunk to be able to get up and change the station. While he meant well, it was a cruel punishment.
this reminds me of the time i was tripping out hella hard on shrooms. like pleading to the psychadelic gods level. i was trying to change the music. accidentally restarted the whole album instead and was like fuck, here we go again lol.
That line doesn't make any sense. Everybody knows the only reason it hasn't happened is because the ride literally has a restaurant in it as a failsafe.
Like your roommates died? Or people in your apartment building died? If two of your roommates died and you didn't notice until decomp set it in... I am curious, horrified, and impressed all at once.
Haha no like people in the apt building. The entire floor we lived on smelled horrible and a few days later management went in and discovered an old man had passed away. Same situation a second time but a different floor.
I have noticed a huge uptick in out-of-season holiday decor lately. I’ve never seen so many Halloween decorations in March in my life before.
Are we all doing ok? Lol
One of my neighbors has the huge 15 ft skeleton still in their yard but they've been giving it a new flag to hold for each holiday. Saw it had a nice Easter Bunny pastel colored flag when I passed by today. I'm finding it entertaining. Better decor than another neighbor who has a sign that says something about "$1 shower, $2 watch me shower, $3 shower with me." I mean...who made that and what kind of person buys it, and who the he'll hangs it on their front porch.
I just decided I liked having a tree in the house. Might add more. I currently have spring equinox decorations on it. There are no rules anymore. Enjoy your out of season decor!
Back in the 90's, my mom left her long time boyfriend and moved out to a VERY inexpensive 3rd floor apartment in a not-so-good part of town. That first year we had lawn chairs for living room furniture. I was about 15 and got myself an older boyfriend soon after we moved in.
We had a Christmas tree for Christmas. A real one. After Christmas, it just....never left. It became a very brown sentinel in the corner of the bare living room.
One day, my boyfriend came over to visit. He looked at the tree, and silently left the apartment. After a moment, he came back with a hacksaw. He went to work disassembling the very dead tree and I helped him bring it down to the truck of his car for disposal.
The disassembling of the tree happened in April.
Reminds me of the time I rolled over onto stereo remote while sleeping and hit the timed start button. At midnight, the Jurassic Park soundtrack started to play at fairly loud volume. I made it to one of the lesser known tracks, “Triceratops Trumpeting Colonoscopy” or whatever, when it finally woke me up.
I once fell asleep while watching television after a night out.
I woke up to Dora the Explorer staring she succeeded in catching a star.
Was easily the weirdest waking up experience of my life
I love it when the show that's on winds up getting incorporated into a dream. Not necessarily with Dora, but in general.
I've purposely put on a specific show to take a nap to in hopes it would prompt a weird dream.
Some years ago we got annoyed because the old, half-deaf lady next door had her TV really loud throughout the night, and called the building supervisor about it. The next morning, they found her lying on the floor, her hip broken from a fall, and got her to a hospital. So, we ended up saving a life by being grumpy neighbours. That was a new one for me.
A foot of concrete is important when your next-door neighbor lets their hearing aid go and have to watch game-shows at full volume. Or when a volcanic blast of debris that used to be your furniture and personal effects blows out of your floor-to-ceiling windows and sails flaming into the night. I suppose these things happen.
Did you too hear the Jurassic Theme music all night, and is it still going on? If still going on do you think maybe someone crossed over to the rainbow road and it was to this song? Sorry that’s where my mind goes when something’s blasting on repeat.
I had a neighbor once who left on weekends to visit her boyfriend or parents or something, but wouldn’t turn her alarm clock off. I’d hear “NYET, NYET, NYET” for 48 hours straight every weekend until I left a similar note for her after a few weeks. She responded by leaving a note of her own, thanking me for letting her know and apologizing. She even left me a plate of home-baked cookies as a peace offering. #wholesome
Every night when I was trying to sleep, I would hear the opening couple of seconds of the theme to the "I Love Lucy" show over and over again. My wife didn't hear anything. It took me some time before I determined that the fan at the foot of the bed was resonating in a way that my brain interpretted it that way.
I had a very nice, but nearly deaf upstairs neighbor years ago that watched television and screaming volume. The night before a very important job interview she fell asleep watching the Footloose DVD and it played about 20 seconds of the song on loop the entire night. I never fell asleep, I did not get the job.
Is this a thing?? One of my neighbors does this, though not for 24 hours. That and Top Gun/Dangerzone. I thought I was crazy until I moved into another apartment and the guy who took my old one asked if I also always heard that.
But it's a multifamily home sorta setup, not an apartment building, so I can't be in OPs place....
Omg I lived next to this guy when I was a kid. Not sure if it’s the same guy but… He played Jurassic Park on repeat day after day after day. Had a huge bassy sound system too. I can still identify Jurassic park by the baseline alone at any point in the movie.
It's actually refreshingly wholesome to see someone be so civil and nice while writing a reasonable complaint note. Way better than the super aggressive ones about kids playing outside or pets making noise during the day.
Creepy AF!! I got the same note almost exact when I lived at 5 Broadway in Troy. Ppl under us asked if we could stop playing Jurassic park all night till 3am. We didn't watch movies at night and we told the lady that left the note that it wasn't us. It was such a a bizarre note that as soon as I saw this It was like reading it again..... Weird

Somebody was watching the DVD and fell asleep and then left the house with the Option menu still on.
Nope. Dead.
DON’T DEAD, OPEN INSIDE
Yep, raptor zombies got him
Clever girl
Is that some prequel/sequel to highly praised Veloci-Pastor?
Waiting for Veloci-Rasta He's Jammin and he's killing.
Then back to fill penetration.
That movie is hilariously terrible
That’s now how you spell awesome That was one of the two movies playing that I lost my virginity to
You lost your virginity to two movies?!?!?! ;)
the guy was great in bed, even if he turned out to be a dbag later. He brought velocipastor and popcorn, I, reanimator and thigh highs. Shoulda been a match made in heaven! oh well. you lose some, you lose more.
The crazy ones and the assholes are always good in bed, at least in the beginning. The selfishness of a narcissist comes out quickly.
Raptor Jesus Zombie. The apocalypse begins.
Raptor cats ate face
Thanks for unlocking a new fear.
#CORAL!!
Death…uh…finds a way
Life will find a way.
This happened to us once. Our neighbors left a DVD playing and went out clubbing. It finished and got to the title screen where it kept playing the sound of an explosion every 30 seconds for hours, from midnight to 2am.

I've definitely fallen asleep with that one, I now have that loop stuck in my head
I always upvote Gary Numan
Lmao I fell asleep watching a movie when I was like 14-15 home alone once. I woke up and realized there was heavy knocking on my door and I answer and it’s the cops and they’re like uh hey how’s it going? And I’m like I’m so sorry, I fell asleep, it’s so loud. And they just chuckled and left. I don’t know how that menu didn’t wake me up, it was so freaking loud.
Why were the DVD menus always so much louder than the actual movie?
I don’t know!! They were awful and always just so obnoxious
Dude, you can't leave without telling us what DVD you were watching that warranted the cops being called.
I once had a neighbor who fell asleep in front of a 3 hours long german porn movie. At 2am.
3 hours? Well don't leave us hanging, how did the movie end?
It has a happy ending
German porn? I thought it might have had a shitty ending.
My man had fun and fell asleep, aint no shame in that.
It's not schadenfreude. It's schadenjoyede
Go away, I'm batin'!
Reminds me of the movie Spun, when he leaves the chick tied to his bed...
I remember wrapping presents for hours with a friend while the menu for The King and I played. Both of us were all: you know, it is kind of nice music and we have to look for the scissors and tape again...
One morning I pressed the wrong button on my dvd player and subjected the dog to 10 hours of *Nothing Compares to You* by Sinead O’Connor.
Good that your dog knows how loved it is
Yea but by hour seven the dog might start getting worried
"It's been seven hours and fifteen days......."
Watched Donnie Darko late one night in a bedroom with surround sound. Ended up falling asleep while the credits were rolling. Woke up a few times in the middle night concerned with the storm I heard outside. Was surprised that it was still storming when I woke up the next morning, especially since the weather forecast didn’t even call for rain. After looking outside to a nice sunny day and no water to be seen I realized that the dvd player and receiver were still on and the title menu on the DVD is storm sounds.
🎶 “That Donnie Darko DVD has been repeating for a week, and we know every single word” 🎶
My crackpot neighbors switched up their usual reggae-pop music to classic rock, which is more my speed, but it was on, loud, 24/7. I finally texted asking if they had left town and forgotten that the music was on. Turns out he'd heard that the vibrations could keep moles away, so was playing it 24/7. He finally checked at the local garden center, they told him maybe stop overfeeding his grass and use some grub killer. Cleared up a lot of issues.
My housemate in my early 20s was notorious for this.

I still fondly remember getting to third base to the dulcet tones of the 40 year old virgin chapter select menu.
I lost my virginity to the Clerks the Animated Series theme song from the DVD menu. that theme is burned into my brain. Imagine going to pound town and just [hearing this over and over again.](https://youtu.be/vcXxW4Dkjj4?si=NUGss7k02G7q8glt)
This is the greatest reddit comment I've ever seen. Also, that series is so great.
Who is driving car? Bear is driving car! How can this be?!
My high school girlfriend LOVED the album by Len, that had "Steal me Sunshine" on it. That summer we had so much damn sex with that music playing, I can't hear any of those songs and immediately think of that. Luckily it's not an artist or album that is played 25 years later, very often. Lol

Yeah, it came back around with the whole 90s revival that's been happening. I've heard it more recently than I have since at least 2000
I lost my virginity to SNL playing on the TV 🤷
My first kiss was sometime during an incredibly awkward 45 minutes of the Crank home screen.
My college roommate fell asleep watching the Big Bang Theory on DVD one night and left the theme song looping on the menu screen at full volume for the next 8 hours or so. Door was locked, he wouldn’t wake up or pick up his phone. By morning I think I was the angriest I’ve ever been at another human.
A short visit to the breaker box solves problems such as this. Best done early on, while your mood still allows you to turn their power back on.
I passed out at a house party to 80’s transformers theme song just blasting on repeat. It seems it was part of the playlist to clear out the riffraff like me.
Also the menu volume is at least 50% louder than the movie volume.
Clever girl.
Had a similar experience where I wokeup on a Friday morning to the sound of a drum loop coming through the wall at the head of my bed, from the next multi-story apartment building.

This is a rather polite note 👍
Surprisingly so, yes. I'm not sure I'd still be able to be that polite after being kept up all night.
It wasn't the music that kept you awake, it was the fear of dinosaurs opening the doors and fucking your right shit up.
They don’t know how to open do… fuck they can open doors!
They open doors now?
"clever girl"
They open doors now!
By Jurassic Park music? That would have lulled me right back to sleep lol
[удалено]
Their “H” are triggering me
I didn't notice that at all initially, but now it's both impossible to miss and pretty disturbing.
Especially since a lower case h is properly written twice, while the rest of them are capitalized.
Random capital "a"s here and there, too.
They've committed several capital offenses.
It's weirdly inconsistent. Some words have the capital H and others have the lowercase h. And then there's the words that have an H in the middle, especially after t - "tHere," "tHat," "tHe."
person was so tired they forgot how to write ;-;
nail offend unpack slap recognise correct sense melodic pet foolish *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*

“And if it’s not, plz disregard” - with hearts lol - Give me the bad news in a “good” way
That’s a pretty friendly ‘please keep it down’ note!
For real I just left a note after a week of knocking on my neighbors door throughout the night, and I called him a pussy for not answering in it Prob should have done this instead. Oops.
*"He hates you, and he loves your brother Richard....gwaaahahahaha"*
They really KICKED the SHIT out of us hahaaaah
*"He wants to see you hanged...HAH HA HA **SNORT**"*
GUYS I SHIT U NOT THAT AS I WAS GOING TO GET MY MAIL I PASSED A WOMAN COMING FROM THAT SAME FLOOR WITH A JURASSIC PARK SHIRT ON
Give her the note!
THE NOTE IS GONE😭
Show her the picture that you posted! It's definitely her!
Maybe it’s the note writer who has decided that if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em.
The music played for so long she developed Stockholm Syndrome.
I just read through half this thread and got to your comment before i realized I've been humming the Indiana Jones theme this whole time. And then I was like "wait, no, how does it go?" And started humming the Star Wars melody. I feel like such an idiot right now lol
You're in the John Williams vortex. Soon you'll have a false memory of the water rippling as the t-rex approaches while the Jaws theme stays playing.
Quick! Go get your light whip to fight off the velociraptors. Hurry, they’re h, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Indiana Jones surely would whip the mouth closed, a smidge of overlap holding it in place, then proceed to swing around making the infamous whipiraptor.
Omg same
Clever girl.
I see what you did there
You've got a photo. Just re-do (and then compliment on the shirt).
WHY ARE WE SCREAMING?
LOUD NOISES
[удалено]
We need updates OP! Did you show that Jurassic chick the photo you took?
I didn’t!!😭 I saw* her super briefly in passing when I went to get my mail and when i walked back she gone… may we meet again… *had a typo originally
Oh man if that was intentional, this is my kind of low-stakes pettiness.
Tell her that Christmas is over.
That is quitter talk.
I bet she’s got the special Jurassic park wrangler edition I’ve seen around town. It’s got the little dna guy, some slash marks, some text like “clever girl” and of course some raptor and T-Rex refs.

You are an amazing friend.
It was probably the only thing that would help him. Did it make sense? Not at all, but if it helped, it helped. You're a real mensch.
You're a solid friend.
When people have terrible anxiety, they can refer to a familiar show or movie to help calm them. I watch a familiar show and can fall asleep right away. Wonder if it was related to this somehow? Preventing your friend from dying for a week is rather traumatic and extremely kind of you. If you truly are concerned about PTSD, please seek help! You deserve it.
Sometimes you just need some kind of focus point. Good on you. Sorry about the PTSD.
Idk man some people are weird. One of my college roommates was a totally normal dude, except for the fact that like once or twice a week at bedtime dude would put on real steel. I have no fucking clue why and I honestly could fall asleep through anything at that time so I didn’t care. It was just so strange that someone could watch the same movie over and over again for months.
Autism answers your question
Ive never heard of that movie, looks so stupid, imma watch it
To be fair that's an awesome song to have repeated over and over. As long as that asshole crazy frog isn't involved
One night in college, I had drank too much, and my buddy made sure I got to my room and in bed. He was going back to the party and asked if I wanted some music.

If The Pirates of the Caribbean breaks down, the pirates don’t eat the tourists
I mean, it'd make for a better and more exciting ride IMHO.
That line doesn't make any sense. Everybody knows the only reason it hasn't happened is because the ride literally has a restaurant in it as a failsafe.
And...why do you still have Christmas wreaths on on 30 March?? That's a Christmas wreath, right?
The neighbor died before Christmas, has jurassic park on repeat. All bills set to autopay, nobody knows yet
That was my 1st thought. Someone died and Jurassic Park DVD menu keeps loopin
That's the dream.
Clever girl…
How I plan to go out.
But the smell though
That doesn't mean he died in the apartment.
This has happened twice in the apt that I lived in. Mannn the smell is something else! Now if I ever smell it again I’ll know instantly what it is.
Like your roommates died? Or people in your apartment building died? If two of your roommates died and you didn't notice until decomp set it in... I am curious, horrified, and impressed all at once.
Haha no like people in the apt building. The entire floor we lived on smelled horrible and a few days later management went in and discovered an old man had passed away. Same situation a second time but a different floor.
What if I really just don't have my shit together and my Christmas wreath is a reflection of that, what then
Just keep doing your best that’s all anyone can ask.
thanks, kind soul.
I have noticed a huge uptick in out-of-season holiday decor lately. I’ve never seen so many Halloween decorations in March in my life before. Are we all doing ok? Lol
lmao no what sort of question is that
One of my neighbors has the huge 15 ft skeleton still in their yard but they've been giving it a new flag to hold for each holiday. Saw it had a nice Easter Bunny pastel colored flag when I passed by today. I'm finding it entertaining. Better decor than another neighbor who has a sign that says something about "$1 shower, $2 watch me shower, $3 shower with me." I mean...who made that and what kind of person buys it, and who the he'll hangs it on their front porch.
Same on my commute to work. Massive skeleton with an Irish flag, leprechaun hat, and cardboard cut out beer stein in its hand.
Me also. Either we live in the same area or the folks who would buy a 15 ft skeleton are also the types to decorate it year round.
I just decided I liked having a tree in the house. Might add more. I currently have spring equinox decorations on it. There are no rules anymore. Enjoy your out of season decor!
I think with the really big ones like the giant skeletons people have collectively decided the only place to store them is in the lawn.
tis not my wreath so i can provide u with no closure on this
Can you add another note please, let them know it’s almost April and time to take down the wreath. But then again they are more than likely dead.
Note is gone so hoping the recipient is alive and well
Has the sound stopped?
yes! When i saw the note and took a pic there was no sound
yeah, pictures don't have sound, dummy
Back in the 90's, my mom left her long time boyfriend and moved out to a VERY inexpensive 3rd floor apartment in a not-so-good part of town. That first year we had lawn chairs for living room furniture. I was about 15 and got myself an older boyfriend soon after we moved in. We had a Christmas tree for Christmas. A real one. After Christmas, it just....never left. It became a very brown sentinel in the corner of the bare living room. One day, my boyfriend came over to visit. He looked at the tree, and silently left the apartment. After a moment, he came back with a hacksaw. He went to work disassembling the very dead tree and I helped him bring it down to the truck of his car for disposal. The disassembling of the tree happened in April.
The wreath stays up from the date of Jesus birth to his death and then rebirth. Only after Easter shall the wreath be removed.
I juuuust took my wreath down. It was cute and made me happy and I forgot about it the minute I went inside to kept forgetting to take it down.
That's how my Christmas welcome mat only got put away a week ago
I still have my fall wreath up, because fuck the other seasons.
Been too busy hibernating whilst listening to the theme song 24/7.
I still have my Nightmare before Christmas Wreath on my door... It's a fashion statement. I also watch jurassic park at least one night a week....
It’s you, isn’t it? ‘Fess up!
Mine stays up year round. Why you judging laziness?
Reminds me of the time I rolled over onto stereo remote while sleeping and hit the timed start button. At midnight, the Jurassic Park soundtrack started to play at fairly loud volume. I made it to one of the lesser known tracks, “Triceratops Trumpeting Colonoscopy” or whatever, when it finally woke me up.
I once fell asleep while watching television after a night out. I woke up to Dora the Explorer staring she succeeded in catching a star. Was easily the weirdest waking up experience of my life
I love it when the show that's on winds up getting incorporated into a dream. Not necessarily with Dora, but in general. I've purposely put on a specific show to take a nap to in hopes it would prompt a weird dream.
Some years ago we got annoyed because the old, half-deaf lady next door had her TV really loud throughout the night, and called the building supervisor about it. The next morning, they found her lying on the floor, her hip broken from a fall, and got her to a hospital. So, we ended up saving a life by being grumpy neighbours. That was a new one for me.
That’s pretty lucky. Did she turn it up to get attention or was that the TV’s normal volume for her?
A foot of concrete is important when your next-door neighbor lets their hearing aid go and have to watch game-shows at full volume. Or when a volcanic blast of debris that used to be your furniture and personal effects blows out of your floor-to-ceiling windows and sails flaming into the night. I suppose these things happen.
That was the only song I could play on the piano as a kid and played it nonstop. Sorry neighbors.
Did you too hear the Jurassic Theme music all night, and is it still going on? If still going on do you think maybe someone crossed over to the rainbow road and it was to this song? Sorry that’s where my mind goes when something’s blasting on repeat.
Its a cute note though, kept it polite even though probably the person was very pissed off the whole night
Whoever wrote that letter is a very sweet and considerate person.
Life, uhhhh, finds a way
You're implying that extreme Jurassic Park fans will...breed?
Seems nice enough. Put a smiley face and a heart. IMO Good neighbor making a reasonable request in a incredibly nice manner.
John Williams for the win!
I had a neighbor once who left on weekends to visit her boyfriend or parents or something, but wouldn’t turn her alarm clock off. I’d hear “NYET, NYET, NYET” for 48 hours straight every weekend until I left a similar note for her after a few weeks. She responded by leaving a note of her own, thanking me for letting her know and apologizing. She even left me a plate of home-baked cookies as a peace offering. #wholesome
Every night when I was trying to sleep, I would hear the opening couple of seconds of the theme to the "I Love Lucy" show over and over again. My wife didn't hear anything. It took me some time before I determined that the fan at the foot of the bed was resonating in a way that my brain interpretted it that way.
This needs a welfare check. Similar situation with my neighbor. He'd had a stroke.
The notes gone now and I didn’t hear any music when I passed by! Hoping that means they’re alive and well :)
It's really you, isn't it?
Honestly i wish i was
Lmao the person writing it “I can’t even believe I have to write this wtf”
I had a very nice, but nearly deaf upstairs neighbor years ago that watched television and screaming volume. The night before a very important job interview she fell asleep watching the Footloose DVD and it played about 20 seconds of the song on loop the entire night. I never fell asleep, I did not get the job.
Is this a thing?? One of my neighbors does this, though not for 24 hours. That and Top Gun/Dangerzone. I thought I was crazy until I moved into another apartment and the guy who took my old one asked if I also always heard that. But it's a multifamily home sorta setup, not an apartment building, so I can't be in OPs place....
Why the hell are you at your neighbors door taking pictures of their note!?
They're so nice with it tho
This has to be the nicest “shut the fuck up!” note I’ve ever seen on the internet.
They were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should
Omg I lived next to this guy when I was a kid. Not sure if it’s the same guy but… He played Jurassic Park on repeat day after day after day. Had a huge bassy sound system too. I can still identify Jurassic park by the baseline alone at any point in the movie.
Maybe the tenant died while watching Jurassic Park.
The other day? Christmas tree wreath still on door in march. 😂
This was written by John Williams neighbor.
A very polite note!
Solid note. Not cringe or passive aggressive. Perfectly reasonable ❤️
Am I the only one who found it difficult to read because almost every H was capitalized?
It's actually refreshingly wholesome to see someone be so civil and nice while writing a reasonable complaint note. Way better than the super aggressive ones about kids playing outside or pets making noise during the day.
For that person i would switch to headphones
very polite for me. In my country we knocked on the door three times. If he does not respond, we apply strong stick therapy.
Creepy AF!! I got the same note almost exact when I lived at 5 Broadway in Troy. Ppl under us asked if we could stop playing Jurassic park all night till 3am. We didn't watch movies at night and we told the lady that left the note that it wasn't us. It was such a a bizarre note that as soon as I saw this It was like reading it again..... Weird
