It's 11:30 at night and there's a drunken party two doors down

[PCIntern]

At the Jersey Shore. Can’t sleep for the screaming noise.
Fuck ‘em.

[RandySF]

1. San Francisco is dead quiet.

[dutch777]

2. Sounds like the Jersey Shore alright....obnoxious dumb people with too much alchohol

[jimfields33]

3. Jersey shore! Not shocking!!!!!

They did a show about that place. It’s a party place.

11. The Jersey Shore is pretty varied

It's actually made up of numerous separate locales and communities extending over, conservatively, anywhere from 80-100 miles, if you're going to count Cape May to, say, Asbury Park.

A Philly person is probably down there around Avalon, Stone Harbor, or thereabouts, which is def not the Jersey Shore of the teevee show (well north of there, Seaside Heights/Point Pleasant area if I'm not mistaken). .

14. It was Seaside.

My family rents for the summer north of there and it’s a delightful town.
Seaside is and has been a magnet for trashy people from all over.

16. Apologies for sullying the good name of Point Pleasant

[a la izquierda]

19. Lol, Point Pleasant isn't quite so bad...

But it’s not quiet or peaceful either. 😂

[greenjar_01]

21. We usually go to Harvey Cedars (LBI)

Mostly quiet, but we just rent a house and mind our business.

15. I'm in Ventnor...

Which is the town contiguous with Atlantic City

[greenjar_01]

17. Nice

Nice Memorial Day Weekend getaway.

4. You're more tolerant than I am. I would've called in a noise complaint on them.

I hope it breaks up soon. I hate inconsiderate people.

[Retrograde]

6. My threshold is 11 PM

I'll put up with noise - especially on a holiday weekend - until then, but after 11 I'll call the police to enforce the noise ordinances. Some people have to get up in the morning, after all.

Sunset Magazine used to have its HQ around the block from me. Once a year they would have a big bash which was notorious for the amount of noise - and noise complaints - it generated.

When I was out for my walk yesterday I went past one house where they seemed to think the entire neighborhood wanted to hear their off-key caterwauling. It was early, though. On the plus side, though, the kid next door's trumpet playing has progressed from blaaaat to recognizable tunes. The joys of living in a semi-dense neighborhood.

7. 11:00 is my cutoff time, too. I'll cut them some slack until the news comes on, then the gloves

come off and the police non-emergency service line is called.

[backtoblue]

5. Snookie, is that you?

[Renew Deal]

8. WFH FTW

[JI7]

9. For the past week or so people have been doing fireworks

And they do that thing which sounds like something blew up and makes a huge ass noise. Fucking assholes .

[TeamPooka]

10. Give the virus some time to incubate and 4th of July might

Be quieter for you

12. Been there, several years of an Absentee Landlord renting without regard to neighbors.

Absentee landlords/house flippers don't care about the neighborhood that they don't live in, just collect the cash.

Every couple of years there would be turnover of renters, every set with their own habits (running business in a Residential Zone, partying with sports parties, cuss words and yelling, a score of cars parking all up the street, birthday parties with DJ (*loud mic* ), the works.

More often than not, the cops tended to sympathize with the "just having fun" partiers, like, "You're just a get-off-my-lawn, party-pooper geezer."

There was a common fallacy both with the partiers and even some cops that there is a certain hour when things qualify to shut down - 10 P.M., midnight, even later. No, there are people who work nights and sleep days, so disturbance can be at ANY time - 10 A.M., whatever.

The chargeable offense is simple: Disturbing the Peace. And there don't have to be multiple people being disturbed, just *ONE* person.

Sometimes an option can be just raising the stakes - buying out the house flippers/Absentee Landlords. Not easily available.

Also, taking a stand takes guts. Neighbors sometimes don't want to get involved, don't want to rock the boat, also can be dangerous.

So it took some ten or more years, but things got settled. Now my immediate neighbors enjoy the benefit of what I troubled to do. Today one of them told me that his neighbor the next street over, across the street from him had a big Quarantine-Is-Over bash, loud music, broken bottles in the street. And the neighbor told me he said to his wife, "Too bad (UTUSN) isn't on this street to handle this!"

Yeah, it takes some risk and guts.

13. Our neighbors behind us sit out all day playing horrible music loudly all day

my dog goes nuts. They have 2 small dogs --the dogs run back and forth and bark at each other. My dog happens to be a big loud GSD. Then they (*or someone) call the town about my dog barking...Sigh.

I would look forward to the workplaces reopening except these people never when anywhere before the pandemic.

And now they have out-of-town company.

I suppose I should change the frame and befriend them. Ugh. I miss the elderly couple that lived there before.

[DeminPennswoods]

18. This is why

in all my years in Philadelphia, never once went "downa shore".
