I woke up to the tv in my neighbors apartment blaring. I could hear it through the walls. I was trying to sleep. The cop came and talked to them, then he knocked on my door and told me he didn't hear anything. And I told him they probably turned it down. I knew this cop knocking on my door right next to my neighbor would cause some kind of drama and it did. Cuz next time I know my neighbor is knocking on my door. Then since I never answered the door he texted me this "Hey next time knock on my door don't call the cops n btw f*** u 4 that lose my number u psyco" I replied back "I didn't get any sleep last night dude because I had a major headache. And I woke up to your music blairing. I could hear it through the walls. You would be pissed too if you were woken up by a blaring tv. And you already know I have some mental issues so quit saying I'm psycho cuz I'm not. If you don't want to talk...fine. Goodbye. I hope you see my point of view." and he replied back and said "But y not just knock then. y cops n ya lets not speak ne more next time imma complian on u 4 harrasment".

Ok how on earth am I harassing him? He's the one harassing me. He's the one who texted me. What do you all recommend I do? Cuz I seriously want to give him my 2 cents. He has tried getting me to go on a date with him when I have a Fiance and one time when I had him over to hang out he tried kissing me.

Just fill your apartment complex in on the matter. Let them handle the noise complaint. Don't engage in a tit-for-tat with this neighbor. Don't turn it into any more drama.

Just don't get involved with any drama ,if he texts , ignore it. If he comes to your door , don't answer it.. He will get tired of this soon enough.

If a neighbor is bothering you, you tell them first. You talk. The cops get called only if the usual normal ways of communicating are not working.

Mental illness is not an excuse for not using the usual and customary methods of communication.

When my old neighbors were being too loud, we usually asked them if they could be a little quieter or called the security guard the complex keeps on duty at night.

I would be furious with my neighbor if they called the police before contacting me on their own. That doesn't justify calling someone a psycho, but I understand being very upset.

If I were in your situation, I would ignore my neighbor and contact the front office if I continued to have noise complaints against them.

Not sure why you didn't ask them first. But what's done is done. If you don't want heat between you and your neighbor, apologize for not talking first and then end it. Sometimes admitting you were wrong first is all it takes.

Otherwise, ignore all of it and don't feed the drama. The more you feed it, the worse it gets. If you feel you did the right thing then let it go. Stop texting about it and don't argue over it.

They are still your neighbors...

I have told them already in the past they need to keep their TV down because this isn't the first time they were blaring it.

I have already talked to them about keeping their tv volume down. So why they continue to blare it was beyond me. But I think I was in the right for calling the cops cuz I've already talked to them about it and they aren't listening.

If you talked to them in the past, it's slightly different, but I would still knock first. Calling cops will only make the situation worse. And if the cops see you first dial them without trying to solve the dispute yourself, they may not be very helpful.

Ignore him and buy a pair of ear plugs

This sounds like a problem for the landlord to handle. You only call the police as a very last resort after numerous complaints to the landlord doesn't work. Since you keep having to talk to the person, talk time is over. I'd record the date and time of all the calls. There shouldn't be any reason why you have to knock on his door everyday to ask to turn the tv down. How more rude can they get? Tell the landlord that you've called the police already. The only one creating drama is the jerk causing the problem. Just don't talk to him or let him get under your skin. Check your local noise ordinance because anything after that is disturbing the peace. It's generally begins about 7pm to 6 am.
