You're being down voted for this comment, and perhaps you could have worded it differently, but the core of your message seems completely reasonable:

If you don't want to do something, you ask somebody else, if you both agree to the terms and costs you have a deal.

The world can be, how should I put this, difficult a place.

The contracted party might agree to not mention you. Something like: hey, I live across the street, would you mind letting me know if you're going to have music late at night because I'll just stay at my partner's place that evening, here's my number. No sweat, have a good night, here's a complimentary six pack.

It doesn't take a lot of imagination to assume the best possible reading of a comment like yours.

Have a lovely day.



Your solution is to flee your own home and pay the perpetrator who is illegally disturbing the peace?


I've had problems with my (large) upstairs neighbor for the past year. The building repeatedly fined them, the police refused to come out, and I knocked on their door sometimes several times a day for about 9 months straight.

My solution was to offer to pay them $$$ for their moving fees and, when they turned that down, I just picked up and moved to another building.

That's not really much different.
