Blergh.... my kind and considerate neighbors that live upstairs (right above me) in the apartment building I live in decided to have a party last night.  Apparently they asked everyone in the building if they minded.  They also asked me.... they knocked on my door when I wasn't home and concluded that since I wasn't home and didn't answer the door, I must approve.  Plus, it was for a birthday party so that made it all ok anyway... in their logic.

At 23:00 I knocked on their door and asked them to keep the noise down a little... and again at 01:00... and again at 03:00  Each time they said yes no problem, and then turned the volume up even higher.  It all finally ended around 05:00 this morning.

One of the things that I do not understand is... how did anyone in the whole building sleep last night?  The music was so loud in their apartment that I couldn't hear my television in mine (I was watching a movie since there was no chance of sleeping anyway).  They were dancing or stomping like they were doing Riverdance impressions too... especially each time after I politely asked them to keep the noise down.

 What do you do in a situation like that?  Call the Police?  Seems like a frivolous and petty thing to do... the Police likely have better things to do than appease an annoyed Canadian who just wanted to sleep.
