Calling His Bluff
When I was in college, I lived in a tiny apartment. This guy who had the most sensitive hearing on earth lived next door. We called him “The Goob” because he was shaped like an unshelled peanut. We HATED him. One night, my friend was over, and we were watching our favorite show on TV.
We had the volume so low that we had to sit two feet from the TV just to hear it. It wasn’t even 8 PM, and the next thing we knew, there was a knock at the door. The Goob was asking us to turn down our television because he could hear it in his apartment. I couldn’t believe it.
We invited him in to show him how low we had the volume turned down. He refused and continued to go on about how it was disturbing him. My friend had enough and just went off on him.
The Goob threatened to call the authorities if we didn’t turn it down, and we both told him, “Fine. Call them”, and slammed the door shut on him. Nothing happened. He didn’t bother us anymore after that. Story credit: Reddit / (The_BS_Commando)
