Karaoke early this morning drives me nuts!

July 15, 2016 8:55pm CST
I'm a graveyard shift worker and the least thing that I wanted when I get home is someone torturing the karaoke machine! The anti-peace and order neighbors are almost two blocks away from my apartment but the noise pollution they are making is still too much. Right now what I'm just asking to keep my sanity is for them to sing on-key, "The Voice" or any singing competition quality for my soul not to escape my mortal body yet. But heavens forbid, they are like mating cats wailing at the poor mic. Please let the Karaoke machine be broken! Please let the void swallow those large speakers and let me have my peaceful saturday morning again!

If they are two blocks away and you can STILL hear it? I'd be calling the police and letting them know about it. I work the graveyard shift as well and when I've had noisy neighbors I was sure to call and let them know they needed to keep it quiet.

Haha no need to call the police. I think I'm going to spare them alive this time after all it's my day off tomorrow so I can use some lack of sleep today hehe

Ah, I'm sorry to hear. Have you tried sleeping with earbuds? I would be annoyed if I had that too (if I worked graveyard). Hope you can get some sleep in!

Thank you for your concern. Haha. They would be like this up until 10pm only. We already have city ordinances banning karaoke usage after 10pm. That would shut them up lol

yes that's what I've done. Unluckily, my apartment's walls are not that thick and my neighbor's wailing are still penetrating my apartment lol. Luckily, it's my day off tomorrow so I can spare some lack of sleep today

I thought you can call the barangay and deal with this situation. some people just don't know or realize they have neighbors who needs to rest and no noise.

No need to call the baranggay but if they kept up like this till midnight I sure hope that they get arrested lol. After all we already have city ordinances banning the use of karaokes after 10pm

Hehehehe! Sintonado por santo! I guess you better get used to their "EAR_ritating" voices; otherwise, your health would deteriorate . . mawawala yung seksing katawan. Here is the best thing for you to do. Print a couple of copies of this short, nice letter and drop them in front of their house: "We like your singing voice. We would love it if you perform karaoke renditions of your songs in the evening instead for our listening delight. Thank you so much!" Your Neighbors . .
