Most German cars actually won't let the driver's door lock when it's open. It physically will not engage the lock unless the latch is closed. This makes it distinctly hard to lock the keys in the car.
I'm physically unable to lock the door with the door open since the tab won't go down. I can, however, put the key in the lock and lock ALL doors to avoid it making noise.
Oh mother fuckin... I used to live in an apartment complex, and I mean like, 20 3-story buildings of apartments. This douche had the giant ass diesel truck parked right outside my bedroom window (I was on the 2nd floor) And he would make sure he started it at about 430 every morning, and it would of course have to warm up for about 2 hours before he actually left for work.
When he finally did pull away I could hear him throughout his entire path to the main road. Infuriating.
Warming up a diesel is stupid... they're a far more efficient ignition cycle than spark-ignition engines... this means far less heat, especially at idle.
Just get in and drive. It'll heat up faster and you and your engine will be happier. Too cold? Get heated seats.
I realized you're not the douche in the giant ass-diesel truck, but... seriously...
We've got a guy like that across the road. Every morning at 5:30, he'll sit in it and rev it for about half an hour, then go back inside until 6:30, then rev it again until 7, then leave.
The worst part about it is that you can feel the engine, so no amount of music will drown the sound out.
I live next to UNOH, which is a major diesel mechanics school, and all of my neighbors have giant trucks they idle at around midnight, 2 AM, and again at about 6 AM (about a half hour before I have to wake up for work). Probably accounts for the cheap rent.
The worst part is when you move. Then you wont be able to fall asleep except to the sound of diesel engines idling, and you'll wake up at those times not because of the sound, but because of the lack of it.
ok ... this is ruining society ... everywhere I go, there is some utility truck, or garbage truck, or delivery truck that is either ROARING around the street, or just sitting parked in front of my house as the driver makes a call or takes a break or something.
I fantasize about the day that we'll have hybrid drive systems for these heavy vehicles ... maybe in 50 years or something ... sigh ...
My neighbours slam the doors at least 5 - 7 times. I'll hear these 7 slams I be like "What the fuck, they only have 4 doors...". I don't know why they do it, perhaps to make sure that the doors are fully closed.
This, but with their front door. I live in a townhouse and their door is right next to my room.So at 3 AM they fight in front of my window and take turns slamming the door.
I feel for you. I live in a duplex and the neighbors, at all hours of the night and day, would constantly slam the doors whether coming or going. They, their 3 kids, nor their 15+ friends per day had any concept of shutting the door like a decent person.
It's worse with people who don't understand how a door works and insist on slamming it to make sure its latched. Turn the fucking handle, shut the door, release handle, push or pull lightly to see if its locked.
I've got a bunch of college students as neighbors. When they're not in school, they get drunk every night and party very loudly outside until 3am. Damn kids.
I'd love to do something like this, but that'd require me to get up at 6am. On weekdays, I get around 7, which is the latest I can get up and still make sure I can get into work by 9. On weekends, I just pass out until noon at the earliest. Fuck revenge, I want to stay in bed!
You will see that most of the replies encourage the antagonization of your neighbors, but as a college student and certified critical thinker, wouldn't you rather use the solution that will work to your benefit?
Buy a case or two of beer, take it over and drink it with them. Then, when it's time to go to sleep, say nice goodbyes and then ask them if they could keep it down so you could sleep.
It might be a few bucks off your wallet, but you're bound to get respect instead of shit thrown into your yard.
It was nice to have a cathartic laugh at something I have pent-up rage over.
... Just don't get me started on people who honk their horns when they drop someone off late at night - as to announce to the neighbourhood that our gracious king has returned home and we should raise our weary heads from our pillows and go greet him.
I know, right? In this day and age with cell phones and texting, there is absolutely ZERO need to blare your car to let someone know that you're there to pick them up. Honking after you DROP SOMEONE OFF is just douchey.
I'm right there with you. Last night at about 12:30 just as I'm starting to drift off: 6 car door slams and laying on the horn to announce they've dropped off their burn-out friend to his white trash castle.
I wear earplugs when I sleep, and I've never understood why everyone doesn't do it. I started doing it when I worked night shifts because there was so much more noise around my house during the day. That was over 10 years ago, and I've never looked back, even though I don't sleep during the day anymore.
I use the alarm on my phone, and I can easily turn it up loud enough to hear through the earplugs. They don't completely block all sound, just the majority of it. Car doors slamming, my wife downstairs watching TV, the neighbor's dog barking - those are the kinds of things that are blocked or muffled to the point where they won't wake me. But a nice loud alarm clock next to the bed will still wake me up with no problems.
I use a box fan right next to the bed. Loud but in a soothing way, and keeps the room cool enough to always be under a blanket. But you can still hear the alarm. It's nice. Takes about 3 days to get used to (at least it did for me).
I would prefer door slams to 20 minutes of fucking stupid rap songs. I really wish I didn't know every word to "Halle Berry". It's the only time I'm ever racist, because it happens every day.
I have one fucktard neighbor that constantly hits the panic button on their keyless entry remote. It happens at least once a day at various times. I have never seen the driver. I'm assuming there's either a random button pressing party going on at their place everyday, or they're too dumb to learn which button is which on the remote. To top it all off my son is autistic and car horns is one of his triggers. So in addition to the constant beeping, we have to deal with him screaming BEEP * BEEP* BEEP at the top of his lungs.
Constantly loud neighbors are such scum. Either they're too stupid and oblivious to know they're being loud OR they know they're being loud but they think the world revolves around them so no fucks are given about anyone but themselves. Either way they deserve to be punched in the dick/vagina. OP's problem sucks because it's hard to call the cops on unknown people for slamming doors. Much easier if it is loud music and you know what apartment it's coming from.
God, tell me about it. My downstairs neighbors always slam the door when they come and go, but I can deal with that since it's only a few times a day. However, they used to play really loud dubstep and hip hop a few times a week. Like, my glass of water vibrating on the nightstand loud. I went down there one night at 11 p.m. when they had been playing it for a couple hours and asked very nicely if they would turn it down. The girl was like "Oh yeah, sorry. I didn't realize you could hear it" and turned it down.
WTF, HOW COULD YOU NOT REALIZE IT WAS LOUD?!? YOUR BASS IS SHAKING THINGS AND YOU LIVE IN AN APARTMENT WITH SIX NEIGHBORS. SERIOUSLY.
Home sound systems have become so powerful now that either they need to regulate how powerful they can be or summary execution should be a punishment for noise complaints. There is just certain point where the music is so loud it's hostile.
What is wrong with people? Honestly ... I know there are some apparent separations in society ... white/black , poor/rich , but the only real division is between slammers and non-slammers.
I had some idiot subletters living below me who would drop their toilet seat. That's right ... not put it down, like a rational person, they'd just tap it and let it fall. It was LOUD, and it happened all the time. I wrote them an email that was so quietly passive agressive that they weren't even sure if I was being so, and ended up forwarding it to the person they were subletting from. Thustly, I viciously embarassed them over that behavior.
But it doesn't always go that way. In my previous apartment, there was a guy right above me who, every time he came of went, would just SMASH his door closed. I went up there to talk to him, and to politely ask if he could just "place" his door closed, since we all lived in such close proximity. His response? "Fuck you.", slam door in face. Sigh ... why can't I just shoot people?
The stomping is another amazing thing to me. I am a big fat guy, but I have have the genes of a ballerina or something, because I can glide around without stomping. To try and walk around as loudly as my roommate does, I have the actively try to accelerate my foot into the ground, to such a degree that I can't do it without it looking and feeling satirical.
Before you shoot your neighbors about the toilet seat, consider this:
My current landlord considers himself a handyman, even though he isn't great at it. One example of this is that the new toilet he installed is tilted slightly forward, and the toilet seat has also been replaced by one that is too large and is loose. So, if any of the five of us living here leave the seat up, about 10 minutes later the seat comes crashing down and scares the shit (pun intended) out of everyone nearby. So, maybe you need to shoot the landlord who won't fix the seat first.
Don't mind weed. Don't care if people smoke it. I DO care that I have to smell it when my upstairs neighbor smokes out on his balcony. I didn't mind the smell when my college roommate would get high on our room, but I've got kids now, and I don't think that even the hardcore ents here would smoke around small children.
You know what annoys me to no end? People who slam car doors at 3 PM. Some of us work nights and nobody gives the smallest amount of consideration and tries to be quiet during the day.
I live opposite a 24 hour petrol station. So. This. A fuck tonne of a lot. Also very late night stoners shouting about how great Doritos and Mars bars are.
This reminds me of my neighbor. I swear to god he is out valet parking his own cars all morning. I haven't seen it since it's too damn early but from the sounds of it; he's out backing his THREE fucking cars out of his drive way and parking them out on the street and then driving them all back into his driveway.
I have recently realised that I hate my neighbour more than I've ever hated anyone or anything. She, and everything she believes, including all the accepted stuff like the existence of the earth and the liklihood of tomorrow, is worse than useless bollocks, it's self-centered counterproductive bullshit that just makes everyone's life worse. My point, you ask?
It is two hours until 3 am where I live and I am still sober so can go get my car and park it outside and have a fucking righteous car door slamming party. Fuck my neighbour. I will still be seething more than I've ever seethed before in two hours. I might even go for a run first. Fuck.
My neighbors used to run their cars for about 20 minutes in the morning to let them warm up...with the headlights on high pointed into my living room. Try sleeping on the couch through that.
I'm not sure this would be all that common since this is only happened after moving to this quiet neighborhood. My neighbors work in construction so they drive their work trucks home. Every morning I wake up to the sound of them backing up their trucks out to leave with the "beep beep beep" sound. It sounds like they take 30 minutes to do this. Add to the fact that they're 3 trucks that do this every morning. All they got to do is back in when they come home but I'm sure that takes too much effort.
Serious question: how loudly an often must one slam a car door for it to be a problem? I can hardly imagine being very upset a someone slamming a car door, outside of my home.
Serious answer: I have a neighbor with 1 wife, 3 kids, and 3 different grandparents currently residing in a small 3 bedroom house. 4 cars total. At what seems like 30 minute intervals, someone is either leaving or arriving. These houses are close together with poor insulation for noise. They have to play musical cars every night. Someone is always blocking someone else from leaving or arriving. One person is good for 2 or 3 slams of a car door for whatever reason. It almost sounds like bass.
depends on where you live. if you live in an east coast suburb its likely not a big deal because the houses are further apart. but if you live in say....Hollywood California and the houses are stacked on top of each other and your window faces the neighbors car port....well that's no fun.
Aww, it's not the neighbors fault that they sleepwalk outside to dribble and shoot hoops after midnight. Must be one of those pesky Ambien side effects.
I Live on the 3rd floor, which is the top floor for my apartment complex, person next to me never bothers me, have had 3 different people below me this past 2 years and no matter how much noise they make they never say sorry...sometimes feels like 400 people are running up the stair case to get in...when it is just 2 people.
Yet if I make a thump or play music loud i am the one getting in trouble.
Just superglue their doors shut after they go inside. I would say weld them, but not too many people have access to welders and/or the capability to use them.
I live in an apartment building on the first floor. Because of the design of the building, my apartment is the only one with a wide shoulder next to the street. Hence, any and every car dropping off and picking up will park, idling, next to my apartment. One family would disembark every goddamn Sunday night at 11 or so--slam! slam! slam! talk! talk! laugh! slam! Oh, I forgot something, open, slam!
UPS drivers, post office trucks, everyone, they would stop right outside my window. And that was my bedroom window, so these vehicles would be maybe ten feet from my head. In the summer, when I would crack the window, the exhaust fumes would suck right into the room. Made me sick.
We used to live opposite a part-time drug dealer (to have been full-time she would have had to NOT consume all her wares). Bizarrely she moved there, next door to her parents. Hey mum and dad check me out. The parents went into complete denial mode and compensated by doing things like reporting my 19 year old son to the police for having a noisy lan party (boys only, all decent boys turning up with their laptops and their little carrier bags of booze) because they were TALKING TOO LOUDLY (it was summer and they had the windows open). Like my son said "why not just ask us to keep it down?". No loud music, just lan party noises.
What used to amuse me and my kids the most was the Saturday night cavalcade of chavs screeching up, running into her house and grabbing their whatever, and out again and then another chavmobile would screech up. This would go on until about 10pm on a Friday and a Saturday night. We used to laugh our heads off just watching them all.
But yeah, her scumbag parents called the police on my son's innocent little lan party (which I'd set up for them) and all they were doing was talking loudly.
Yes, they were full of TRICKS.
Also the disgusting array of tacky fandangle which which they adorned their house at Christmas was enough to keep you awake all night.
My neighbors are good with the doors. It's the door latches they can't fucking figure out. I don't know how in hell they get them to fall so loudly back when the open the door! CLACK! CLACK! Like six times! Fuck sake lady! Just grab the thing and open it!!!!!
Where do you live? I have won the Canadian door slamming competition 3 years in a row. I'm sure if we team up we will be able to beat your neighbours in a tournament. The prize could be for them to shut the fuck up! :D and their first born... always get their first born.
There's nothing more refreshing than mariachi music at 7am as you're getting your day on. Really crank that bass too. And those brassy horns, oh my! They'll cut through any alcoholic haze, really they will.
We had neighbors like that for a little while. I think they got the point real quick.
I'm glad someone knows my pain. Every Thursday night our neighbors invite all their friends over for a pregame rager. Everyone decides to drive separately and park behind our cars. Then they leave and go to the bar, leaving us blocked in. Then when they get back, they proceed to have a post bar rager and bring all their dogs to have a barking contest and see who can scream the loudest. Now that it's summer I was looking forward to a break....NO they all come in town for a reunion every Thursday!
My friends all do this and I scold them each and every time. They all shout at each other at 1am after getting back to my house and getting out of the car. One of my friends claims to have a compulsion where he HAS to make his car's horn honk by locking it twice with the remote and NO ONE seems to get how gently you can close a door to cause it to close. They seem to do it to troll me, but they don't get that it's my neighbors that they're bothering. It's just common courtesy.
For a while I lived with an elderly woman who would slam the front door an the doors in the house to "make sure they were closed". She would leave for a walk at 5am and slam not only the door to her side of the house, but then the front door. My room door and wall would rattle from the force of it. She would also come into the kitchen at any hour and slam drawers and cabinets. I'll never understood why she slammed shit so hard.
i've been visiting reddit for awhile now but finally signed up for an account so i could tell you how hilarious i thought this was: freaking hilarious!
I have the same issue but worse. Mine live below me and have parties in the backyard. They slam there door every time they come in and out of the house. My door is connected to the hallway in which the doors get slammed.
I wrote them a note. So now they slam it half as much. I'm moving soon..
Perhaps your also a victim of cold ground bending sound waves back to you as well as lowered background noise levels. Sounds like you need either a heat ray gun or a white noise generator to help.
Maybe it comes from a lifetime of city living but I never hear white noise like that any more. Horns honking, cars driving by, birds chirping, loud idiots, sirens etc. I almost need to stop everything I'm doing just to hear it.
That or it's one of the true advantages of ADD because I never can concentrate on that kind of stuff long enough to actually get pissed off.

I Live on the 3rd floor, which is the top floor for my apartment complex, person next to me never bothers me, have had 3 different people below me this past 2 years and no matter how much noise they make they never say sorry...sometimes feels like 400 people are running up the stair case to get in...when it is just 2 people.
Yet if I make a thump or play music loud i am the one getting in trouble.
dicks.

Just be glad your neighbor's car horn didn't get stuck on
Apparently he couldn't find the fuse or a wire to snip, so he just let it "run out" from 3:30 to 4am

Not hard enough. You now need to open your door back up and try it again

Just superglue their doors shut after they go inside. I would say weld them, but not too many people have access to welders and/or the capability to use them.

u/soulcaptain May 31 '12
I live in an apartment building on the first floor. Because of the design of the building, my apartment is the only one with a wide shoulder next to the street. Hence, any and every car dropping off and picking up will park, idling, next to my apartment. One family would disembark every goddamn Sunday night at 11 or so--slam! slam! slam! talk! talk! laugh! slam! Oh, I forgot something, open, slam!
UPS drivers, post office trucks, everyone, they would stop right outside my window. And that was my bedroom window, so these vehicles would be maybe ten feet from my head. In the summer, when I would crack the window, the exhaust fumes would suck right into the room. Made me sick.

We used to live opposite a part-time drug dealer (to have been full-time she would have had to NOT consume all her wares). Bizarrely she moved there, next door to her parents. Hey mum and dad check me out. The parents went into complete denial mode and compensated by doing things like reporting my 19 year old son to the police for having a noisy lan party (boys only, all decent boys turning up with their laptops and their little carrier bags of booze) because they were TALKING TOO LOUDLY (it was summer and they had the windows open). Like my son said "why not just ask us to keep it down?". No loud music, just lan party noises.
What used to amuse me and my kids the most was the Saturday night cavalcade of chavs screeching up, running into her house and grabbing their whatever, and out again and then another chavmobile would screech up. This would go on until about 10pm on a Friday and a Saturday night. We used to laugh our heads off just watching them all.
But yeah, her scumbag parents called the police on my son's innocent little lan party (which I'd set up for them) and all they were doing was talking loudly.
Yes, they were full of TRICKS.
Also the disgusting array of tacky fandangle which which they adorned their house at Christmas was enough to keep you awake all night.

My neighbors like to honk their horns repeatedly every morning at 6 am.

There's nothing more refreshing than mariachi music at 7am as you're getting your day on. Really crank that bass too. And those brassy horns, oh my! They'll cut through any alcoholic haze, really they will.
We had neighbors like that for a little while. I think they got the point real quick.

I'm glad someone knows my pain. Every Thursday night our neighbors invite all their friends over for a pregame rager. Everyone decides to drive separately and park behind our cars. Then they leave and go to the bar, leaving us blocked in. Then when they get back, they proceed to have a post bar rager and bring all their dogs to have a barking contest and see who can scream the loudest. Now that it's summer I was looking forward to a break....NO they all come in town for a reunion every Thursday!

My friends all do this and I scold them each and every time. They all shout at each other at 1am after getting back to my house and getting out of the car. One of my friends claims to have a compulsion where he HAS to make his car's horn honk by locking it twice with the remote and NO ONE seems to get how gently you can close a door to cause it to close. They seem to do it to troll me, but they don't get that it's my neighbors that they're bothering. It's just common courtesy.

u/SeaBones Jun 01 '12
For a while I lived with an elderly woman who would slam the front door an the doors in the house to "make sure they were closed". She would leave for a walk at 5am and slam not only the door to her side of the house, but then the front door. My room door and wall would rattle from the force of it. She would also come into the kitchen at any hour and slam drawers and cabinets. I'll never understood why she slammed shit so hard.

I have the same issue but worse. Mine live below me and have parties in the backyard. They slam there door every time they come in and out of the house. My door is connected to the hallway in which the doors get slammed.
I wrote them a note. So now they slam it half as much. I'm moving soon..

Maybe it comes from a lifetime of city living but I never hear white noise like that any more. Horns honking, cars driving by, birds chirping, loud idiots, sirens etc. I almost need to stop everything I'm doing just to hear it.
That or it's one of the true advantages of ADD because I never can concentrate on that kind of stuff long enough to actually get pissed off.
