Man writes the ultimate letter to shut his noisy neighbour up

WHEN this man was woken at 5am by ear-splittingly loud music from his neighbours, he crafted a hilarious note and slipped it under their door.

Ultimate note to silence a noisy neighbour

IF YOU’VE ever lived in an apartment, you’ll know what it’s like to be woken in the early hours of the morning by a deafening uproar from the apartment below, above or next door to you.

You’ll remember pacing around your flat getting more and more angry at your insensitive neighbours, or simply burying your head into your pillow and trying to block the noise out.

Whether you bang on their door or hastily scrawl a venomous and expletive-filled note, it never feels like quite enough, does it? After all, they’ve robbed you of precious hours of your sleep and wound you into a fury.

When this Sydney man was woken by ear-splittingly loud Daft Punk music at 5am one morning, he decided to take matters into his own hands, and drafted the ultimate take-down letter. It helped that he was, in fact, a huge Daft Punk fan himself.

THIS is how you start a neighbour war.

“Dear Good-time Neighbours,” he wrote.

“You know who you are. The ones with the apartment facing the lightwell, who played Daft Punk’s delightful 2013 anthem ‘Lose Yourself to Dance’ at 5:17am this morning, windows wide open.

“As I was awakened by Pharrell Williams’ dulcet tones, Nile Rodgers’ signature rhythm guitar and the on-point (although highly derivative) production of Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter, I was torn.

“On the one hand, I thought to myself, ‘Maybe we’re about to be taken on [a] journey through Daft Punk’s back catalogue in reverse chronological order? Will ‘Around the World’ be up next? Will we trip the light fantastic past ‘Da Funk’ and round it out with ‘Rollin’ and Scratchin’?

“On the other hand, I thought to myself, ‘Maybe these inconsiderate a**holes could display the modicum of consideration for their neighbours, recognise that most of the building is asleep at this time, lay off the pingers and shut their f***ing windows.’

“By all means kick on till your hearts’ content. But please do so with your windows closed and the music set at a volume that is not going to wake the rest of the building.

“Warmest personal regards, Your fellow neighbours.”

Just brilliant.

Mr Daft Punk, whoever you are, we salute you.
