If that doesn't work, you can always rely on the ol' tomato on the hood of his car...

Amazingly it's actually stopped!All that tomato talk must have scared him.

Woah, the rare 2-for-1: coveting thy neighbor's murder.

OOT can come up with way better options than that.

do they have a dog? throw chocolate over the fence

Very inconsiderate of him, speaks volumes about his character.

Thats what i thought! Fireman friend assured me hes seen many house fires where something was left in the oven and grew out of control.

A confined room only has so much ability to dissipate heat, through the surrounding house, for example. So I'd have thought that if you keep heating something up past the ability of the room to dissipate that heat, eventually you get a fire.

I'd imagine most people have done this. Very easy to do when you come in drunk. When I was in New Zealand a while back they had a TV campaign urging people to order take away rather than cook when drunk. Very good advice.

I managed one time to start a fire by just boiling water. I had this kind of immersion boilers.

Switched it on in my room and then forgot it while talking with other guys in student accommodation. I remembered, only when I saw smoke coming from my room. Water was completely evaporated, the wire of the boiler started to burn and the already small flame on table and on wall by that table was running high. I managed to extinguish the fire with the thick blanket that was there. So it all ended well except a lot of stress and my room needed complete renovation.

It depends.

What kind of music?

None if you don't get caught.

You could hire Motherlover Jones.

Drunk cooks,

So one time I came back with friends and I happened to have a bunch of jalapeños and cream cheese, and I had read a recipe on how to make them fresh. So I went to work on that and had a super hot pot full of oil. Tossed the stuff in and it burst into flames and started overflowing. Somehow managed to get the flames out without disaster, and I remember we continued on and actually made a bunch that turned out pretty good.

Another time, woke up and there was an empty box of frozen poppers in the trash, but I didn't remember eating poppers or see any dirty plates in the sink or dishwasher. Couldn't figure out what happened until that night when I went to cook something in the oven and there were little piles of jalapeño popper ashes on a baking sheet. I guess the oven turned off automatically at some point, and the oven had no problem keeping a dozen flaming jalapeño poppers contained.

It's more the bass that's the problem. There's just this constant thump, thump, thump. Which is interesting in that I want to do the exact same thing to him I feel sorrier for my neighbours though as they have a baby.

Try calling cops at 2 am?

Your neighbo(u)rs have kids. They heard "Hump.Hump, Hump." More kids on the way.

Yeah I have contemplated doing this. For some reason I am loathe to call the cops though. He stopped doing it for a few months and I was very relieved. I wouldn't mind if it was just the weekends ,even though we have to get up early, I consider it not so bad compared to weekdays.

No chance of a friendly visit to the neighbour (when they're not partying) and ask them to keep it down after a certain time during the week?

If it continues I will go knock on his door at some point and do this. Apparently another neighbour has already approached him but maybe if he realises how many people it's affecting he will take this into consideration.

Do it do it do it! Next time he does this with music instead of slowly simmering in rage and desperation, just ask him to stop. If he doesn't we can think out next strategic steps.

( I had this few times with neighbors. I am the same way. I wait and hope that it stops until I am at the limit. But I found out that if I ask them to stop max 10 min after it started to annoy me, I can do it in a much friendlier manner.)

Just have a chat with him. I was the ******* neighbour once, I honestly didn't realise that my music was loud enough to travel down into the flats beneath me. I turned it down as soon as one of my neighbours spoke to me.

"C'mon mate, can't you keep the volume down under?"

Rexx, this always works: get a brown paper bag, put a tomato in it, and set it on fire outside of his door.

Which one!
