Twelve-thirty at night and the neighbors were so loud they woke me up.

Twelve-thirty at night and the neighbors were so loud they woke me up. I heard screaming, yelling, giggling, cries of "No! Stop! STOP!" in various iterations.

That's when I decided to pull in some slippers and a sweatshirt to go see what was happening, fully expecting to see a fight or something in the common areas (I live in a condo).

What I did see was some neighbors who were being far too loud. So, I asked them, "Hey guys, it's 12:30. Can we turn the volume down a bit?"

Through various incarnations of, "Huh?", " What?", and "Go home, old man,"; as well as inquiries about my occupation (because, apparently my occupation matters regarding how loud they're being) they finally agreed to go inside. To which I had to remind them, "you're in a condo. You have neighbors below you, next to you on two sides and within thirty feet of you in every direction. Be aware of that."

And the guy tried to turn it into a racial thing, "Is it because I'm black?"

"No, (you fuckwit), it's because you're loud." I said, just without the "fuckwit."

I'm informed it's the resident's birthday party. So? It's still 12:30AM, this is still a condo community and they still have 10 neighbors within thirty to forty feet of them, 6 of them they share a wall/floor/ceiling with.

One of their guests decides he's going to fight me and jumps in my face. A female guest came and pulled him away. Then the resident, the birthday boy, comes and starts going off about how I hate him. I can't see how as I've barely spoken to him since they moved in. They're loud whenever there's a stupid football game on or when they decide to play their music for the neighborhood. This is the first time I've ever asked them to be quiet even though there's no reason for people to get that loud over football.

Standing arm's length from the guy and I can smell the liquor on his breath. I finally told him to find me when he's sober if he wants to talk. If they want to keep being loud I'll call the police.

That's when one of the other male guests starting becoming belligerent, but they finally took it inside.

I'm tempted to go over there at 7AM and just start banging on their door to see how the hangover likes being woken up early.

This is mainly for my records. Please feel free to ignore.

Nope. Just your average ordinary white guy.

This story is bait-and switch clickbait.

I read  "Twelve-thirty at night and the neighbors were so loud they woke me up. I heard screaming, yelling, giggling, cries of "No! Stop! STOP!" in various iterations."

and was expecting  some True Life porn.
Orgies, group sex, gangbangs?

I suspect that's  why we all read it.

When I heard it I thought maybe a fight had broken out into the common areas or parking lot. That's why I got up to check. "No! Srop! STOP!" as in, No (don't hit him)! Stop (fighting)!

I, personally, would try talking to the guy while he's sober. If you can't make him understand the rules of condo-courtesy then advise him that the next time his noise becomes too excessive you won't be so lenient (and call the police or property manager or whomever). I'm surprised the other neighbours didn't complain as well.
