I’m not usually a vengeful person, but tiring days traveling, long work hours & lack of sleep, led me to seek a bit of revenge in one instance.

I travel for work, & my jobs require a very early start time each morning. After one particularly long day of air travel, baggage retrieval, rental car procurement, & long drive to my work location, I checked into my hotel for some much needed rest. I had been traveling since 3:00am as was dog tired.

My neighbors had other ideas. A Rather large & noisy bunch were having a party next door with their friends across the hall. Their yelling, cussing, door slamming repeatedly & general obnoxious behavior was preventing any sleep on my part. After a couple hours & close to midnight, I had had enough, so I gently tapped on the wall. A simple reminder that I was over there. They became even more obnoxious, throwing things at the wall, knocking on my door, screaming & F-bombing me like crazy people. After another hour, I finally called the front desk. The young man came up, & reminded them that people were there to rest, & they needed to respect that as it was a public place. After he left, their behavior only escalated. After another hour of hoping they would calm down, I again called the front desk. This time he came up & told them that if they didn’t be quiet, he was removing them from the hotel. They threatened him, & were yelling that they paid their money, & could do whatever in the H they wanted. He told them that actually No, they couldn’t & he would call the police. By this time it after 2:00 am & I had to be up at 5:00am.

When I arrived at my location, other people were talking about how loud the third floor was of their hotel. I asked & sure enough it was the same hotel. When I told them my room number they asked how I Managed being right next door, when they were disturbed by the noise at the very end of the long hallway. It wasn’t just me being a sleep princess.

Oh yeah, revenge….

When my phone alarm went off at 5:00am, I turned it up to full volume, and placed it right against the shared wall. I then turned the TV up to full volume & got in the shower.

I thought maybe they should see what it felt like being tired, but unable to sleep due to noisy neighbors.
