My Condo Neighbors Mistakenly Believe They Are Living In A House

There are some rowhomes downtown in Reykjavik where it gets a little noisy--but the noise is coming from the street, not your neighbours. Try telling a group of drunk Icelandic sixteen-year-olds to "keep it down" in the middle of summer with the sun high in the sky at 2 AM. At that point, you might as well crack open a beer and join them.

No wonder his wife left. He is clearly gay.

Things were quiet last night so everything seems to be taken care of.

So I guess you won't be needing my help afterall.

Shame

Good to hear in your followup post that at least temporarily things seems to have worked out.

As for it being a good idea or bad idea of knocking on the door in the middle of the night - read the bold part of your own post quoted below. Even though the guy is listening to Avril Lavigne, you dont know what kind of nutjob is living there. Youre lucky you didnt encounter a guy drunk or high who didnt appreciate his music listening experience being interupted and didnt "beat the living piss" out of you.

Besides, how else was I supposed to end the noise? Think happy thoughts about flowers and puppies?

In my younger days I would have waited for the door to open and then dragged the guy outside on the freezing concrete in his bare feet and beat the living piss out of him.

That would have been stupid.

Thanks for the drive-by though. You've been of no help at all.
