Are you afraid to piss people off?

My friend has some really annoying neighbors...like drunken house party all night most nights of the summer, but he's too pansy to ask them to keep their noise down. He's like that about many things, and so are many other people I know.

"We don't want to cause any trouble," they'll say,  and yet they will constantly complain about whatever it is that's bothering them...seems trouble enough to me.

Now I'm not talking about going up and throwing some fighting words down, I'm just talking about assertiveness. "It's 2am, would you mind keeping the noise down?" But they can't do it, they're afraid someone might think ill of them or some shit.

So...do you put up with shit or do you call it?

Depends on the potential consequences. I'll generally try to NOT p!ss the neighbors off for various reasons, but noise after 2 am starts to weigh against those.

I only regret pissing people of if I get into trouble.  Otherwise I don't give a sh*t.

Depends on the situation and maybe he thinks his neighbours are crazyEmpCom

They're posers. It's 3 young bachelors with plenty of swagger but no balls. I had to bitch at them once when they stood there and let their dog piss on my truck (shared drive with my friend). They'll run their mouth at you, but if you go forward they back the fvck up.

If it was a constant thing, I'd ask them to turn the music down.

Nope.

I like drama anyway. But I can't really complain about noise when I make much noise myself.

If he really doesn't want to go over there, just tell him to call the police. They deal with noise violations and whatnot.

lol ill just give some perspective, ive had many noise complaints called in on me back during my drunken college parties. The cops come, give you a warning then go away... its no big deal.

All it ever made me do was hate my neighbors, so during the day when you cant make noise complaints i would blast the stereo and find other ways to annoy them.

:lol: I doubt they will listen to your friend if he confronts them.

No, I usually try not to piss people off. I will stick up for myself most times. I would probably just sleep through my neighbors noise. I often sleep better with noise.

also to TCs friend, if he wants the windows open during the summer and its too loud... try a freaking window fan or air conditioner, thats what i did when my neighbors had parties back in the day.

I wasnt about to go ruin a bunch of people's fun when it was so easy to just use white noise and get a sound night's sleep.

Generally I avoid trouble because I can' t bother dealing with the consequences. If faced with extreme cases I may act but still sth mild I guess.

I prefer to be the guy that people are afraid to piss off.

I';m not afraid to annoy people, I'm just too kind hearted to want to do so (most of the time).

I have similair neighbours but they don't get noisy all that often and all that late so I just let them have their fun. I imagine I get loud and noisy at times late at night and they don't complain.

I'd prolly just call the cops and complain about the noise every night until they got the message.

Nah

Don't piss people off, you might get Treyvowned.

absolutely not.

but i am manipulative so i dont confront or butt heads too often,

Yes, but in the long run I think it's not the right thing to do. I tend to keep all of my feelings to myself (especially anger) so that I don't worsen a situation, because after all that's really the only thing anger does.

If I have to be at work the next day, I'd definitely ask them to tone the music down, especially during quiet hours. If I'm off, I'd probably let them continue. Good thing our neighbors are farmers. They live pretty far from our house and they're usually too tired to party at night.

I've done it before. Most of the time, if you ask nicely, they comply. I never had to call the cops on them.

No...these days I just dgaf. Pissing people off is fun...especially when your better then them.MgamerBD

If someone is walking real fast behind me I'll walk extra slow to annoy them Bucked20

It's not really a big problem if the party folks are merely partying. When they start vandalizing other people's properties like one group of drunken GIs (near a friend's apartment) who threw beer bottles at a neighbor's minivan, I wouldn't even talk to them. I'd rat them out to the cops right away.  

During that incident, I gave a detailed description of what happened to the cops who dropped by. I even considered inventing some lies. But, nah. those GIs were already in big trouble from their superiors.

yes

Not if they are doing something that equally pisses me off or just isn't right. I do try to be polite and nice otherwise though. But I wont stand for bull****.

Maybe I worded the title wrong. Perhaps I should have said "Are you afraid of people getting pissed at you?"

I don't mean are you afraid to straight-up piss someone off, but rather are you afraid that people will be pissed off at you for whatever reason.

For instance, as for the suggestion my friend call the cops...he won't. Because "they'll know who called the police and I don't want any trouble." He's not concerned about them tearing his shit up, he's just scared they'll be mad at him.

Ye like they going to turn the music down because you said so:roll:  You props would have to get into some trouble maybe bring a chainsaw round and screw the disrespectful people of, or just fill in a complaint about the neighbours and report them, or call Batman!

Ye Iam affaird to piss people of as well.

I've asked people to mind their noise and they abide.

It could well be they simply don't know they're disturbing you. Of course, they might not care, but you don't know until you ask.

I like pissing people off who behave rudely. For example there was this one time when a man came up to me at the private parking lot where a lot of people in my neighbourhood park their cars if they can't fit them in their garage or driveways. Any who this man came up to me and asked me where I lived, and I replied that I lived down the hill. He then asked me in a very angry tone "are you people down hill really allowed to park your cars here?" Then I got pissed off and said "yes, because I actually pay for the maintenance of the ground we stand on" he then backed away and said, "I'm gonna check that up" as he started turning around I replied "yes, please do!"kriggy

Beating people with facts is fun. There's no faster way to piss someone off than to make them realize they're an idiot. Though I have made a couple of people cry when they realized how stupid their arguments were...out of frustration or anger I dunno, but them tears they was delicious.
