Housemates are very rarely good friends.
As a rule, everything is exactly the opposite. Our neighbors wear us out with endless repairs and loud music, don’t let our children sleep, smoke in the hallways, flood the stretched ceilings “yesterday”, park under our windows, etc. Persuasion, requests and demands don’t work, and all we can do is helplessly wave our fists because curtains in your apartment.

Two years ago, my upstairs neighbor and his loudly stomping children spent 3 days looking for the source of the noise. He even came down to me, listened, called his wife, who confirmed to him that the noise continued, and left with nothing.” And he built such a structure at home strictly according to the instructions, and turned on Hitler Gangnam Style 10 HOURS!

- For the destruction of load-bearing structures or major repairs for neighbors above or below, you must obtain a special permit;
- Debris from repairs should not block the passage or be located in common areas. And it can only be transported in special packaging.

A young neighbor cannot imagine his life without Radio Chanson?
To the fullest every evening? Just when, after a delicious dinner, wrapped in soft pajamas, you are going to lie down and read a newspaper?
Buy your child a synthesizer. Or a guitar. In general, it doesn’t matter what instrument, it is important that it is loud, and that morning training is regular.
If you don’t have children, and the “parasites” from the next apartment played “And a white swan on the pond” all night again, buy a speaker system , place the speakers against “that same” wall (or to the radiator), turn on “And a white swan” on constant repeat (at full volume, of course) and go to work calmly.
If impudent people have settled right under you, and fighting them does not give anything...
... then, in addition to musical influence, constant transportation of sofas around the room, dancing until you drop and construction equipment turned on for 2-3 hours, a flood can be used as revenge . Drench your neighbors thoroughly and before they come running to you screaming, wipe the floor dry.
Don’t forget to make big eyes (“Oh, we have such terrible ceilings here! They haven’t changed them since the days of Tsar Gorokh!”) and offer to go up to the neighbors above or call the plumbers.
Existing exceptions
The law on silence specifies a number of exceptions in which it will not be possible to hold someone accountable. Thus, if noisy events are being held on the street in connection with citywide holidays, it is useless to complain. A similar rule applies to the crying of a sick child, the meowing of a cat, or the barking of a dog. If rescue or emergency operations are carried out, they may also involve noise disturbances. It will not be possible to force them to stop holding them or bring the organizer to justice.

How to take revenge on your upstairs neighbors for noise while being silent for yourself
One of the quietest and most proven ways to take revenge on neighbors upstairs for noise is suitable for those who are quite superstitious. Regularly throw salt, soil, feathers, garbage, candle stubs and other “mystical garbage” onto your neighbors’ rugs. Draw pentagrams, scatter needles and leave notes with all sorts of “conspiracies”. If your neighbors are superstitious, such actions will very quickly lead to success.
- You shouldn’t run to sort things out as soon as you hear the sound of a drill and hammer drill. Your neighbors also have the right, including the right to carry out minor and major repairs in their apartment, if necessary. If the upstairs neighbors make noise during legally permitted hours, you will have to put up with it, at least for a while.
- If the noise continues for a long time, try talking to your neighbors and calmly explaining that their actions are causing you significant discomfort. They may not even realize that you react so painfully to loud noises.
- If you are “lucky” to live in a house with thin walls and ceilings, then every sound, even a not very loud one, made by your neighbors will echo loudly in your apartment. In such a situation, even the most ordinary household noise will seem unbearable. In this case, it is best to think not about how to take revenge on the neighbors above, below or through the wall for the noise, but about how to provide your home with additional sound insulation. For example, you can place a thick carpet on a wall or floor, and “sew up” the ceiling with plasterboard, while laying an additional layer of insulation.
Do your neighbor and his not always sober friends constantly smoke on your stairs?
Do you hate smokers and start coughing long and tediously from the smoke? There is a great method to stop your neighbor from smoking!

If, in terms of physical parameters, you are 20-40 kg ahead of your neighbor (and in the past you did karate, sambo, or at least capoeira), you can suddenly jump out of the apartment at the moment he finishes his cigarette and put out the neighbor along with the cigarette with a fire extinguisher . There may not be any effect, but the wife’s stormy ovation is guaranteed.

How to punish noisy neighbors
poop in a bag in advance, throw the poop on the threshold in front of the apartment of noisy neighbors. Place a sheet of newspaper on top of the poop and light it. Quickly ring the doorbell and run away. And imagine: the neighbors open the door, there is paper burning there, they will reflexively begin to stomp their feet on the paper in order to extinguish the paper, and under it there is shit... but that’s what the neighbor’s foot will be in)))
