Gee, thanks for that scintillating observation, Anonymous 11:51. Next time could you also provide the day of the week and the time, thaaaaaaannnks.
Note that no one who is actually from here ever trots out the tired statement "The East Village is a party zone; if you don't like it, move" (or any of its lamewad variations).
Unfortunately, these douchebags need to be dealt with in a more immediate manner than just leaving a note like this. I totally agree with whoever wrote the note, but these A-holes love it when someone...like the note-writer, speaks to them in the stern tone of a school teacher. It makes them feel like..."oooh...I'm bad". And the cops? Are you kidding? They aren't going to do much either. Until one of these frat parties happens in the wrong place, wrong time and their neighbor is an 800 pound gorilla, you can look forward to more of this very uncool, very un-East Village douchebagery to occur. When these dweebs finally marry and go off to their godforsaken yuppie utopias somewhere outside NYC, only then will peace and true bohemia be restored.
I've never left a note for a neighbor or a building. Because they don't work. Anon 12:43 is right. Even though the person who wrote this is absolutely right, and these turds deserve a lecture, this will likely only empower them. I know some people swear by threat of physical force. Not a good idea. I think the landlord *has* to get involved. You have to document what happens and when. Build a case.
I've found that the best way to deal with obnoxious midnight revelers is to shower them with found objects from your refrigerator. Eggs, salad dressings, shrimp cocktail sauce, jam, and even a box of frozen Peeps have been my effective weapons of choice.
After all, who is going to entertain their co-workers Monday morning with a tale that starts with, "Dude! You'll never believe what happened to me this weekend. I was attacked by Peeps!"
I knew someone with annoying neighbors who partied in a common area out back of a building. Despite being warned/threatened, the assholes kept going. Then someone realized that when this group was outside, they left their apartment door unlocked so people come easily come in to use the bathroom, etc.
The someone I knew said a few neighbors then suitably made a mess in the apartment. Not sure what I think about this. But it worked.
The best part about these notes that people leave is that they put so much thought and time into writing them, and then they don't sign them - making them the biggest pussies in the world. Grow some balls and sign your name!
This is why one needs to live in a building with good management. They need to put the kabash on bad behavior, but many buildings are owned by absentee managers.
We shouldn't judge these young men who are clearly in an "experimental" sexual stage. Hopefully they will now realize you cannot masturbate or engage in gay sex in public without consequences.
