I'm sure if it was pot, we'd be having a completely different conversation. mmmm

I live at 14th and Noe and there are these complete douche bags living across the street that are CONSTANTLY out at 3am on weekdays chatting away with each other. The worst part is that half of the people who live there are female, so we get that fucking god awful high pitched female cackle that women seem incapable of doing at a reasonable volume. That female cackle laugh is like having your dreams stabbed to death with an ice pick.

Because A.) it was hot outside. B) my windows are about 100 years old and don't do much to keep smoke out, and C) because this is a NON-SMOKING building. Why should I be forced to move? I'm not the one causing the disturbance. I love how smokers/car alarm people/generally inconsiderate assholes always say "it's the city. Move." as if it's completely acceptable to park your manners at the off ramp of the bay bridge and anyone who doesn't like it should leave. I have an idea. If you want to smoke, why don't YOU move to the suburbs? There you'll be in a house without neighbors in close proximity to smelling your befoulment. To force your stink on people in an apartment building is just rude and inconsiderate. And in light of the foregoing, please, for god's sake, no one ever post on here again trying to tell me how considerate smokers are.

bluecanary: I'll tell you why they can't talk to each other. because the last time I asked my neighbor in extremely polite terms to please not have his entire party smoking directly under my bedroom window, I woke up at 3 a.m. a couple of nights later to hear them loudly and drunkenly discussing what a bitch I was for having the audacity to not want my bedroom flooded with the smoke of 6 snotty marina bitches. Here's my problem with this. Why can't you shut your window? I have the same problem sometimes with my upstairs neighbor. If I want to smoke outside in my patio, that I'm sure I'm paying for in my overpriced SOMA loft, then why the hell not? Move to Berkeley if you don't like it.

It's already been suggested, but I agree that barking a loud "shaddup!" in a Brooklyn accent, followed by a quick shower of leftover cold spaghetti water generally does a good job of shutting up vapid Marina dwelling, Siebel clones. Also works on Christmas carolers.

Considering he lives downstairs and I have to se him every day, my delivery was extremely tactful and polite. His response was extremely polite as well. It was only when my back was turned that he and his gaggle of drunken marina chicks turned up the invective. And yes, I did consider clumsily watering my windowboxes at that time...with pee. But I politely refrained.

"downpour of boiling oil" Similarly, we've been tempted to dump water on the jerk who rummages through our recycling at 4am, but we're afraid the old lady will sick the Chinese mafia on us.

bluecanary's comment is a perfect example of why it should be legal to take advantage of the height advantage in such disputes. Bet they wouldn't be so snotty after a downpour of boiling oil. Marina bitches need Wessonality.

Telegraph Hill; where everyone has their own idea of what entitlement means. At least the noob wasn't pissing on the shrubbery.
