Ever since I "won" the battle of the washing machine, the douches upstairs have found a way to get back at me.

As soon as I run a bath, they run into the bathroom and run the hot water until it is cold.

I thought I was crazy at first or it had to be a coincidence but no..it happens every time I run a bath when they are home.

I am not sure there is anything I can do, but wow..some people are really f**cked in the head.

Oh boy, sorry to hear that Sharon.

How did these highly mature individuals find out that they can override your hot water supply by running their hot water?  You guys share a hot water heater?  Or your boiler is teency?  Clearly I'm not a plumber.

I say stoop to their level.  Every time you hear them running a bath or shower, run your hot water until it's cold.  Payback is a bitch!

omg !!! seriously what douches !  you should do that to them ! maybe stomp on the floor sometimes too lol cause they can't do that back to you lol

That is really crazy... what can you do to get back at them?

Oh guys! Thanks for letting me vent!

I would hate to stoop to their level. But I may allow vendors to ring my bell again. I disconnected the bell because Daisy's barking made her psychotic, she's afraid of dogs and the sound of a bark gives her nightmares..and we are right across the street from a dog park!

I just hope they move..there's really nothing I can do but it feels better to share it..thank you!

My idea is to put a speaker on top of my wardrobe and run porn. At 3 am. LOL!!

Careful, Valeria may start a thread about you, if you live in her neighborhood.  lol

real solution:  Is it possible for you to shower when she is not home, until her anger subsides a bit?  Pain in the ass, I know, but at least you'll get a hot shower.  (cold showers suck IMO, unless the outside temp is above 80)

Take a little bit of cocaine, pour it in their mailbox. Give cops an anonymous tip that they are selling coke that people pick up from their mailbox.

It's been a couple of months but yes. I just cannot believe some people. Now that I posted I feel better though. Venting is good for the soul!

. You clearly sound too considerate to give them the juvenile payback they deserve. You should hire a professional for this kind of job ;)

puahhaa i was just thinking about something along that lines too lol do it ! do it ! lol

Believe me I would love to but I love living here.  Eventually that will get theirs. I can only hope sooner rather than later!

She should not be living on this block if dogs freak her out that much so hopefully they will move.

Hahaha, I wouldn't want to live next to Sharon because all of the things that I do by accident will be mistaken as malicious pranks...  "No Sharon, the wet TP really did accidentally get all over your door...."

Stephanie, I would much rather listen to porn than opera!!!

The coke thing is genius Poe.

I don't get it... how is it possible that they run all the hot water before you're done drawing a bath? By the time they hear the bath, wouldn't it be too late? I could see how it would screw with a shower, but seems odd with a bath (where the hot water is collecting in the bathtub rather than going down the drain). And what is the "battle of the washing machine"?!

Yes, I'm very interested in hearing about the battle of the washing machine as well.  Please share!  (^-^)

In my previous apartment building, anyone flushing the toilet then running the sink to wash their hands would make my shower alternately scalding and teeth-chatteringly frigid. If someone had wanted to fuck with me, it would have been easy.

call the cops and tell them they are growing weed plants in the bedroom closet.

pee in the air conditioning vents of their automobile prior to a really hot no burn day.

i like Poe's idea.  but man, what a waste of good blow.  keep a little for yourself!

Whatever happened to that thread about your neighbors having sex with the windows open?

All I hear from my neighbor's windows are crying baby.  It's great birth control.  = \

Oh, that one! Ha! No, my latest noisy neighbor issue is an opera singer. Makes me miss the old neighbors, I tell you.

You all need to become intimately familiar with your buildings plumbing and electrical subsystems.  :)
