my downstairs neighbor called the cops on me...(funny story)

so my downstairs neighbor is really starting to annoy me. i have yet to speak with him face to face but plan on doing so later in the day. i got a studio apartment in PLG, nothing fancy at all, a cheap studio filled with lots of people who blare music, smoke weed in the hallways and homeless drunks crashing the stairwell. i live directly of off flatbush so its generally pretty noisy all the time with traffic noise and such. anyway last night i was chilling out around midnight or so not doing much, not playing music or anything and went to the fridge to get something to drink, i opened the door and a brick of cheese fell on the floor, my downstairs neighbor than began immediately pounding on the roof of his apartment up to my floor. i did not think much of it, i than was watching some tv on my computer at very low volume, sitting right in front of it as i am now typing struggling to clearly here the dialouge and about 15 minutes in he begins pounding again. i write my management an email to inform them what was going on because last week he sent in a complaint and i just wanted to let management know the deal. anyway an hour later while i was sleeping the cops knocked on my door, it was fucking ridiculous. the dude is out of his mind. i think he could just not sleep do to daylight saving time adjustments and was just throwing a fucking hissy fit. i am going to speak with him later, he disturbed me much more than i disturbed him. i often here faint tv sounds and the occasional footsteps upstairs when i am trying to sleep but its part of apartment living, i turn the fan on next to my bed and fall asleep, not pick up the phone and call 911. some people are such angry pissed off dicks.

A: That is NOT a funny story. What's funny about it? I didn't laugh once.

B: It doesn't make much sense. You really don't tell us what happened after he called the cops, and your story also indicates that you guys have some sort of deeper relationship that you don't address.

C. I am not the person downstairs.

What kind of cheese was it?

it was roasted garlic cheese.

i meant it was funny in the way the guy responded. like its pretty funny to act in such a rude way (as in the way you are acting "Guest").

....when the cops came i was asleep in bed, i woke up asked who it was they said "police", i opened the door and they looked stunned cause obvously i was not partying or being loud but had just woken up. i explained to them the guy downstairs was pounding on my ceiling after some cheese fell out of my fridge and they went to talk to him and he did not open the door. i dont even know who lives there, so no there is no deeper relationship. anyway, thought someone might get a kick out of the story. i thought it was pretty funny.

"like its pretty funny to act in such a rude way (as in the way you are acting "Guest"

I wsn't rude at all. I just said your story wasn't funny. "Funny" most often means humorous, and since you did not qualify the statement, I took it to mean you would offer a humorous story, and you didn't.

I also said yoru tale indicates you guys have a deeper relationship, and I think it does. Also I said I'm not the guy downstairs, and I'm not. How exactly was any of that rude?

what kind of relationship do you think they had/have?

and there's a bit much of the protesting ...

roasted garlic? well, that explains it. if it was a good cheddar i'd be shocked, but since it was garlic cheese... well, you know.

If you can't be kind enough to have brie in the fridge. Well... Ya got what's comin' to ya.

lol. yea i picked up the cheese at a 24 hour grocery store near the 7th ave Q in Prospect Heights on a limb at 3am after a night out at some bars around there. Can't say I am a big fan, more of a montery jack and munster cheese guy myself but thought I would give it a whirl.

Herman Munster makes cheese.

It appears to be coming one.

What's not funny about a guy calling the cops because some cheese fell out of the fridge? i loved this story.

I walk around my apartment with no shoes on and thick rugs on the floor and my neighbor complains anyway. She left a note under my door telling me not to get out of bed after midnight "even if you can't sleep". That wasn't really funny.

If that person is not the owner give a copy of the note to the owner and have them address the situation.

Well, it's a coop. We're both owners. I wrote her a very thought-out detailed note (nice, but firm) that was intended to make her look crazy but in the most read-between-the-lines kind of way, and cc'd it to the mgmt and the board and told her next time she had a problem with me she should contact them, as they were now aware of the entire situation. Also I requested a rug inspection for myself as the coop has an 80% covering rule (though I think many people do not follow this).

It seemed to work, though she does still bang on the ceiling from time to time. And I am the quietest neighbor you could imagine. It's just she has insomnia (admitted this) and she goes to bed earlier than me so she's lying there listening to every squeak of the floorboard, just wanting someone else to blame for her problems.

And just like that, life imitates art.

I thought it was funny because I can totally relate. The old woman downstairs has come up to my door about 4 or 5 times now complaining. It's VERY annoying having someone tell you that you walk loud. I hear footsteps all day above me but I don't say shit. Like someone said...it's part of apartment living. She thinks we're damn ninjas....and it annoys the hell out of me.

And for the record "guest"....your response was very asshole-ish.

Yeah, really "guest". Your reaction was weird as hell and completely full of unnecessary bad vibes.... :?: :evil:

Well, not for you anyway.

As for me, I'm giggling a bit over it.

"Yeah, really "guest". Your reaction was weird as hell and completely full of unnecessary bad vibes.... Question Evil or Very Mad"

Too bad. I didn't think it was funny, and I said so. You guys are free to think what you want, and express your thoughts, as am I. But the difference I didn't go low enough to characterize anyone's comments as "asshole-ish," which I could very easily do. I guess I'm just a bit more mature than some of the posters on this site.

So two cannibals are sitting around eating a clown.

One turns to the other and says, "Hey, this taste funny to you?"

Har-de-har.

OK to make it funnier:

Brooklynlager opens the fridge and a 500lb wheel of gouda crashes through the floor smushing the crank downstairs.

I'm.... going to defend Guest, actually, sort of -- not quite "defend," actually, more like ask why everyone seems to be pigpiling on him/her. Because I was also a little "....and...your point?" about the OP as well; not that I didn't think it was funny, just that I'm not sure what kind of reaction was expected of me. Sympathy? Laughter?

People seem to be talking more about Guest's reaction than the actual point, to, which also tells me that people aren't actually as interested in the original point after all. So...what am I supposed to do, here, now?

well glad some of you saw the humor in it

and yes I do live in 10 midwood. thats one of the funniest things about this, check out the link above if you don't know about the building. i mean like i said i have seen human poop in the stairwell here where a drunk was sleeping the night before, people fucking BLARRING hip hop and smoking pot in the lobby, graffiti in the elevator, the door constantly jammed open and bums walking in and out and I get the cops called on me for some cheese falling out the fridge! i mean maybe if i was paying 2k for a studio in the slope i could get this mentality but honestly i am surprised he could hear the cheese drop cause normally the building is full of kids screaming and roller skating in the echoing lobby not to mention car alarms, honks and general traffic noise coming from flatbush 24/7. now i don't really mind any of this and to be honest and for the most part have been pretty happy living here (close to the Q/B, close to the park, cheap rent), i think we got a new tenet below who thinks they are living in the taj mahal or something! anyway, i am trying to bust out and move up north a bit to prospect heights. really anywhere without as much street traffic and a few good places to eat/drink.

hahahahaha, that blog is hilarious.

i thought my building was bad. i find cigarette butts and food wrappers all the time. and people leave their garbage in the hall overnight before they take it to the street. one time i found a wrapper for spermicidal lube. that's NOTHING compared to this shithole. 10 midwood is legendary.

My neighbor has complained to building management because we slam the front door too loudly. Apparently with the last neighbors it was not a problem. Stupid cu....

I had a dream last night where Charleton Heston came to me and said, "And if thy cheese wheel offends thee, cut it off, and enjoy a slice."

Then he flashed a gang sign and said to get my gat on and was out.

Peace.

If you outlaw cheese, then only fourth rate actors will have cheese. That's not right.

I was watching the first season of the Boondocks the other weekend. First let me state that it is nowhere near as good as the strip. Anyway. So Grandpa (black) invites some authority figure (white) over to try and smooth over a few issues. And everyone know that white people like cheese, right? It is going a bit badly, so he has his grandson run and fetch the fancy cheese. All they end up having is Kraft and Velveeta, but this proves good enough for the white man, and everything is smoothed over.

My point being: Do you think this could be a racial issue?

So true, the strip was really good.

Note: Sorry that this is off topic but I just wanted to comment on the Boondock's. Now, if everyone agrees, we can go back to our regular scheduled topic.

The thing that I can't quite figure out.
Assuming the piece of cheese falling out of the fridge onto the floor disturbed the person downstairs sleeping. Was the person downstairs sleeping in the kitchen, or does the person upstairs have their refrigerator in the bedroom.
