At 8:08 p.m., the Pantry Punishers thumped their pantry door against the shared kitchen wall. Then seconds after, a thumpity-thumpity-thump drumming sound against the same wall. I called the complex to tell them what was going on.
As if that wasn't enough, they then decided to turn up their TV loud enough that I could hear it halfway through the apartment. I called the police (the complex said I could call the police if the Pantry Punishers got more rowdy), and the cops just got done talking to me. But not before the officer "informed me" that "we've been called out here a lot this month". Oh, I'm not going to feel bad about calling the cops when it's part of their JOB to handle these complaints, so if that comment was meant as a guilt trip, it won't work.
I'm bloody well going to call the police when my harassers insist on retaliatory actions. The stomping and loud music that the Upstairs Stomper has been doing? Retaliatory. The crap that the Pantry Punishers did tonight? Retaliatory.
And how do I know the Pantry Punishers were retaliating? I was in the kitchen making dinner when the drumming on the wall and blaring TV happened. In fact, the blaring TV happened just after I got off the phone with the complex. I only waited until now to post something to ensure the Pantry Punishers got caught blaring their TV.
