As Party-Fueled Neighbors Ignored Lockdown, an Overworked Healthcare Worker Ploted Their Downfall
An exhausted healthcare worker struggles with sleep deprivation as their neighbors relentlessly party during the COVID-19 lockdown, prompting the Original Poster (OP) to take extreme measures. As the conflict escalates, OP’s actions garner nationwide attention, leading to dramatic consequences for the rule-breaking students.
New Neighbors Arrive
Two young women move into the apartment next to OP and throw a party during a COVID-19 pandemic lockdown. OP works long hours in healthcare and is exhausted. The party is wild and keeps OP awake late into the night.
Sleepless Nights
Despite OP’s requests, the neighbors continue to have loud parties for three consecutive nights. OP is nearing neurosis from sleep deprivation, but the women offer empty apologies and continue their noisy gatherings.
Unending Disturbances
The young women stop throwing large parties but constantly have visitors coming and going, making it impossible for OP to sleep. The situation worsens when OP learns their apartment is being used as a makeshift bar during the lockdown.
Seeking Allies
OP teams up with their upstairs neighbor to find a solution. They discover the apartment is a secret hangout for law students, and another party spot exists in a nearby house.
Police Intervention
OP and their neighbor repeatedly call the police, but the students refuse to let them in, and the authorities claim they can’t do anything.
Taking Matters into Their Own Hands
Frustrated by the lack of progress, OP contacts one of the girls’ deans, who quickly take action by calling the law student and her parents.
Confrontation and Tears
OP finally has a sit-down with the young women, during which they seem remorseful and share that they have been fined multiple times for their secret parties. However, the noise and partying do not stop.
Shifting the Problem
The women start partying at the other house across the street instead, continuing the noise and rule-breaking gatherings during the pandemic’s second wave.
Media Exposure
OP’s upstairs neighbor films a party, and they decide to share the video on social media and contact the press. They also reach out to a university vice-rector with the power to initiate disciplinary actions.
Going Viral
The story gains significant traction in local and national news outlets, highlighting the police visits and the students’ disregard for pandemic restrictions.
University Investigation
The vice-rector launches an investigation and collects statements from OP and their neighbor. Meanwhile, the story continues to spread in the media.
National News Coverage
A film crew arrives at OP’s building, and the story makes it onto the national news. A student from the other house inadvertently incriminates himself on camera.
Disciplinary Actions
The university takes disciplinary action against the students. The OP and their neighbor clear the air with the young women, who receive community service and probation as their punishment.
Apologies and Reflection
The students across the street are also punished and must write apology letters to OP. OP acknowledges that while they never wanted to escalate the situation, the students’ extreme behavior left them no choice.
Was The Man’s Behavior Appropriate?
The readers in the forum had a lot of mixed views on the matter. Here are some of their responses…
Forum Responded
One responder wrote: “I like this revenge. Great story OP.”
Another reader writes, “Well, in a university city, nobody really cares about students having a party. If your neighbor starts blasting music today, I’d imagine there is very little you can do.”
A different person states: “If they were law students, I’d have hoped they’d lost any chance at their career. People died because of Covid, so any punishment short of losing your career is too light for me.”
