My roommate listes to German Death Metal.
On top of that he seems to have the most bad-ass soundsystem of the dorms, with a subwoofer that made me jump up and down in my bed.
Now it's not like we're in ONE room. It's always 2 rooms that are connected by a shared little floor with kitchen/bathroom/toilet. Still you hear it all.


As I was lying there, in a semi-delirium state of mind, I began to envision possible solutions to this immanent problem. Being woken up after a nice, NEEDED, afternoon nap demands revenge of its blooiest form. Inspired by Kill Bill, which I had seen yesterday, I came up with the following scenarios:


1. *Knock Knock*. "Eh?". The door is opened by my bewildered roommate. WHAAAM BAAAAAM. His face is no more. As I wipe parts of his brain and his left eye off my forehead, I proceed to press "stop" and go back to sleep.


2. I take my Uzi and just start firing through the wall, until music stops and his screams are to be heared. I then go to check again, giving him a last security shot in the chest.

3. The Bat Solution. Kicking my way into his room Im swinging a wooden Baseball Bat. I tell him to shut the music down. As he returns, all shivering, I tell him to sit down on his bed. Since he refuses I smash his soundsystem, then repeat my request. He sits down. I smash his headwith a singe swinging.

4. I take the diplomatic approach. As I politely ask to come in, the door is opened. I tell him to sit on his bed and listen to what I have to say. I tell him about this awful music, the high volume he listents to this garbage, the fact that he's ssuch a hairy bear that the entire bathroom is covered with hair, that he could make sure that washing his dishes desnt mean that rests of his pasta need to lie all over the floor. As he nods in shame I tap his shoulder and reach my hand for peace. We agree to go out and have a coffee some time. I stand up and leave the room. 2 seconds later I return, apologizing for having forgotten something. I open his fucking head with a shotgun which can be heared throughout all of Vienna.

5. Finanacially impossible: Buying a phazon soundsystem and then paying him back with sets of Dj Rush, Adam Beyer and Aphex Twin cd's. at 5 am in the morning.



God. That was relieving

no more Linz ????? holy shit what am i gonna call you now ?

my neighbors do karaoke. and they suck at it. several times over this weekend i was tempted to blast speedy j. get some headphones. that's what i use to prevent my roommate from going insane from my music and to block out his music.

i go with choice 4, up to the shotgun part. stop yer bitchin until you have confronted the kid.

hrmm... i like all those options.


Though you should also consider this one:


Get him drunk (at his expense), then tie him up outside in the cold with nothing more than his underpants.

@taha: yupp. Times change, baby

@whiskers: True but I cant sleep with headphones in order to prevent the possibility of being woken up by German fucking Death Metal.
I do use em pretty often though....

Well it could have been worse had he been a fan of Happy Hardcore, Gabber, Austrian Folklore and Celine Dion.

my best idea, somewhat malicious..

if you know anything electronic related, fry his system while hes out, and voila, no more music!

plus no death=no jail.

I say solution 5. It won't get you jailed, and you won't have to clean up any mess. Plus you'll get to hear some good music in the process

Actully the best way to do this is to open up one the the wires inside the power cord. A tiny little hole and cut the connector inside. Extra points for just cutting about half of the connector this way the system will work but when he tries to turn it up the amp cannot pull enough current through the "damaged" wire.
