Trust my rage

So do I talk to the landlord about their screaming fights?

Is it going to be obvious that it was you that complained? Personally, in that situation, I wouldn't be comfortable complaining to their faces either given the reason they are making so much noise.

You have a right to enjoy a quiet apartment and it's the lanlord's job to provide that. I think you are justified in complaining if it is a semi-common problem.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

On the whole when-to-talk-to-your-upstairs-neighbor versus talking-to-the-landlord issue:

But, that's different than water leakage, right? I mean, there's no implied criticism in letting someone know that there's a leak, and perhaps we should talk to the landlord?

Um, yes? No? (I think I missed a page of posts, because I don't get this.)

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

The correct course of action in these circumstances, Steph, is to move to San Francisco. (or maybe even New York).

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

ita's hearts are lines for me, too. (In Firefox on the Mac.)

A quick glance at an entities table shows me that none of the card entities work.

Yeah, sorry. I was being self involved. I'd brought something up earlier, in my haste of reeading, I thought something was about that... and blah de blah. I did edit my post afterward.

Sorry! I'm all over the place today.

Yeah, this is me too. I like those other pretty red hearts, though.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Thanks, ita. I can never remember that.

Here's a page that has a list of a whole bunch of HTML entities: [link]

The page is by some ita person. I'm guessing it's OK to post it here....

(I've googled for "HTML entities" and not found any list as good as ita's.)

Whenever they get quiet upstairs, I find myself hoping they killed each other.

Okay, not really.

But yeah, I'm afraid that if I complain to the landlord that they'll know it was me. How is it that none of the other neighbors are bothered? Or maybe they are -- I don't know.
