I'm a black doctor. My neighbors called the cops on me for listening to Biggie.

54. I worked nights for five years.

I had absolutely no problem with going and telling people, usually children bouncing balls right on my bloody bedroom outside wall, that "Hey, I know you just got out of school/it's daytime, but I work nights. Could you guys move it elsewhere/turn it down/etc?"

And since my scary case of bedhead, even if I do still sleep with my still-long hair in a braid, always backed me up... they were understanding.

But you can carry your screaming infant with you when you go knock on the door if they got woken up, for extra effect!

Or, if they haven't woken up yet or you otherwise can't leave, considering it's three in the afternoon and you wouldn't be waking up the on-call management... call the manager! It's their job to deal with excessive noise, NOT the cops.

Think about this. What if that cop called because absolutely no one else (/s) couldn't relay the message to "Turn your music down" besides him wasn't able to respond to a woman getting the hell beat out of her?
