Frustrating apartment life....

I'm a little frustrated this morning! Even though I love it up here, it has definitely been an adjustment living in an apartment. I haven't lived in one in years and even then it wasn't as irritating as this apartment complex. Since we live near NAU we have A LOT of young college students. We've had problems with parties and them being irresponsible with their dogs (i.e. just letting them roam wherever, one even tried to attack Trapper). Well for the past week we have been having major problems with our one neighbor. First they got a new dog that whenever the owner leaves it starts barking. And I'm not talking a little bark here and there, I'm talking a bark or 2 every second until she comes home (which is sometimes hours)! The first time we heard the dog she left to go out at night and was gone until 2:00 in the morning and the dog was barking all night! Her neighbors upstairs were even more mad than us! So that has been going on for the past week! Then 2 nights ago Bryan and I were woken up at 3:00 in the morning to her and her boyfriend having a huge blowout fight. He was yelling so loud at her it sounded like he was in our apartment! He was throwing out the f word and bs all over the place! She was crying and trying to make him stop! Trapper was so nervous she even crawled on the bed and crawled on top of me and was shaking like crazy! So we called the cops! They came and it stopped and we thought that was the end of it! NOPE!! Last night it happened again! 2:30 rolls around and we got woken up again! It was a little quieter but we could still here them through the wall! And given the previous night, we called the cops again. So they came out and of course they were different cops so they didn't know about the night before. The bf was joking around with the cops and saying that they were just having a discussion about something that happened downtown. So the cops and this guy were just talking back and forth and were pretty much making it sound like we jumped the gun and nothing was really going on! The bf even had the nerve to say that they should tell the "neighbors to chill"!!!!! I'm so irritated with this comment! How dare he sit there and wake us up two nights in a row with his yelling whether this time was a conversation or not and say that we need to CHILL!!!! He kept us up for hours and he thinks we should chill!! I am seriously so infuriated by this comment! And all the cops could say was to use "inside voices" after joking around with the stupid guy!!! Am I over reacting or would this make any one else mad!! I just want to punch this guy!!

Ugh, apartment life sucks...so sorry! I would totally call the cops too and maybe make them some ex-lax brownies ;)

Umm, maybe Angie is on the right track with the brownies. Maybe instead of ex-lax, you could use a different special ingredient so THEY could "chill". Just a thought.

You are not over reacting. I think because cops came the night before he had to make them think it was no biggie so he didn't get hauled off to jail. Hopefully things will get better! So sorry about the dogs.
