Hey, I love a good party as much as the next person, but there’s a time and a place to let your hair down and go wild.

And, let’s get real: no one should be throwing parties at their house ALL THE TIME.

That’s just crazy!

But this story isn’t fiction, my friends.

The guy who wrote it is at the end of his rope with the constant partying from his neighbor’s house and he’s not sure what to do next.

Check out what he’s dealing with.

Neighbor constantly throwing parties.

“I have been living in a pretty nice area of my city here in Southern California for the past 20 years, and it’s always been tranquil.

Not for long…

4 years ago, new people moved into a house around the corner from mine. Ever since then, they have constantly thrown loud parties.

Before I say anything, I’m a full blooded Mexican. These people are also Mexican, and blast loud Spanish music whenever they throw parties until like 2:00-3:00 am.

This sounds rough!

You can also tell they get extremely intoxicated because they start yelling like maniacs and chanting. I have never made a noise complaint, but I feel like I might since it seems like they throw a party every month (or even more).

I’m also writing this because they currently have a box truck outside their house that says “party rentals.”

Oh, hell no!

I really have no issues with people throwing parties, but when it’s so loud that I can hear it with my headphones and have my windows closed, and go well into the morning hours is when I start complaining.

If this next party goes exactly like that, should I even bother calling the police?”

This really sucks!

If I were him, I’d be calling in noise complaints on a regular basis.

Over the top partying will not be tolerated!

This would drive anyone crazy!
