Knife throwers? What? Are they Afghani or Mexican?

It would be impolite to say. Let's just say there's a lot more where they came from. Well over a billion in fact:eek:
 
Find a better job.
 
Pick up a pair of howard leight earmuffs. I use it while drumming. And since I have a loud and obnoxious person living with me I use it sometimes when I meditate or read. You look like an absolute idiot with them on in unfitting places but hey its better than being on the brink of insanity. Trust me I know what its like to have unbearable inconsiderate people constantly making noise.

For maximum annoyance if you take this route play some Decapitated or Morbid Angel

I have two in my workshop. One older Asian guy who hacks and I swear he's gonna kick it. Hacks constantly. It's pretty gross. The other guy is mid thirties but with allergy issues, clears his throat at least twice a minute.

I try and stay out of there. It's involuntary I know but still truly irritating.
 
When our daughter was little someone gave her one of those schoolbus toys that played music when you pushed a button on top IIRC. "The wheels on the bus go round round round, round round round, The wheels on the bus go round round round, round............". That thing drove us crazy but our daughter loved it, probably because it drove us crazy, a weapon of mass distraction.

Get one, put it on your desk and hit the button whenever she starts to sing.

The new burr under my saddle is recent immigrants next door knife throwing in the back yard. That in itself isn't the problem, it's that the knives bounce off a piece of plywood leaned up against an overturned shopping cart. What a racket, hours on end. Experience tells me that there will be no good solution.
In the office, I would complain on a daily basis. I don't understand why nobody else is complaining, at work I'm one of few that complain about 5 different getto blasters on 3 different stations. I think the bosses are scared of the music crowd, could loose production.

Get them a thicker piece of plywood, it will deaden the sound. And go over and learn to throw knives, how cool is that.

No can do, I hate them now. They moved in last fall, I didn't get the chance to meet them as I keep a mostly day schedule (up at 430am back home in the dark). During this time they woke me up every hour on the hour taking smoke breaks under my bedroom window. All night. I probably maybe wouldn't even notice the knife throwing now absent that history. I have a new appreciation of the Middle East conflict.

Maybe you should start throwing knives at 4:30 am
 
My late gf told me how once when she was a child she was singing this children's song about brushing your teeth repeatedly over and over during a car trip. Apparently after who knows how many repetitions it was too much for the housekeeper who was travelling with them who then proceeded to throw up at the side of the road due to the incessant repetitive nonstop song. So yes, OP has a legitimate concern.

I will recommend a practical solution. Bring your headphones in and set the volume to low and listen to whatever you like whether it is talk radio or Internet radio (soma fm is good).
 
LOL, great comments

I think the knife throwing neighbour waking you up at 4am after a long work day is more annoying than ***** co-worker singing in office...

Corrected :cool:

Just kiddin'
 
Let me get this straight. She started singing again after is was addressed by management and you took the time to complain about it here instead of going back to your manager?


Get your butt off the chair and tell you boss she is doing it again. What is the problem?

If you can't be bothered than it's really not that big of a deal.
