Human Rights Violation??
Posted By: Joe Smoe
Category: General


FIGHT DETAIL
So I have a roommate, let's call her Betty. Betty works down the street at a local bar - it's the nice neighborhood type of bar where everyone knows each other and the bartender often has a few drinks while working. Well Betty makes lots of new Friends at this Job and occasionally she likes to bring them home with her. Which is for the most part fine - I mean everyone has needs, right? but see here's the thing - Betty is EXTREMELY LOUD!! She comes in around 3:30 every night with a new friend (and I am sound asleep because I have to wake up at 7am) and all I hear for 45 minutes is extremely loud moaning and the bed banging against the wall. I've tried to talk to her about it - I really need to get a good night's sleep but she insists she has the right to thoroughly enjoy herself in her own apartment.

Can someone help me out here? I mean using sleep deprivation tactics is a human rights violation - right??

I've repeatedly dealt with this with upstairs neighbors. Not quite the same situation since there's a lazy landlord who could get off his ass an intervene with admonishments about future noise. Yeah, that will happen. I digress.

Perhaps the solution is to create a disincentive to be loud by getting up and knocking on her bedroom door to let her know during the act that her loud noises are keeping you awake. A few nights of coitus interruptus might get her to quiet down.

She needs to go to her tricks' places to do that mess. That is disrespectful and rude since you have to be up at 7:00.

You may be wrong, OR you may be right...

First you said you were roommates. But then you said, that SHE said she has the right to do this "in her own apartment". So are you 50-50 roommates (both names on the rental agreement), or are you simply renting your room from her (the place is really in her name)?

If it's the first, then yes you are right. If it's the second and it's actually in her name, then the only right you may have would be to find another place to live. It sort of depends on which of you needs the other to be living there more.

So it all depends.

It wold be real easy if the lease was in your name then you could just say "adios". If not ask her once more to improve her behavior. If not, speak to your landlord. Maybe he/she can helphe landlord will understand why you have had to break your lease.

Any practice of torture or other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment violates human rights standards. In 1994, Congress passed a new federal law which specifically provides for penalties including fines and up to 20 years' imprisonment for acts of torture committed by American or other officials outside the United States. In cases where torture results in death of the victim, the sentence is life imprisonment or execution.

Sleep deprivation can be used as a means of torture. Under one interrogation technique, a subject might be kept awake for several days and when finally allowed to fall asleep, suddenly awakened and questioned.

Obviously you haven't seen the musical Avenue Q. Let me bestow upon you some wisdom:

"You can be as loud as the hell you want when you're making love".

she should move the bed away from the wall, first of all. and if she's that "active" she should live alone. find a new roommate who's schedule blends better with yours.
