- r/Prorevenge In today's episode, OP works for a toxic boss at a hair salon. She knows that her boss is screwing over her workers to make more money, so she decides to play a dirty trick on her manipulative boss. She tells a clever lie to the local gossip, so of course the rumor makes its way to the boss's ear. The rumor tricks the boss into giving OP a huge raise, resulting in an extra $40,000! The boss was too stupid to realize that she was being played into giving OP extra money for nothing!

Also Haley: [Turns on excessively loud music whenever she hears even the slightest noise and leaves the apartment]
"I can't focus with the noise you're making"
*starts playing super loud music*
This makes a lot of sense. đ
Disclaimer: Hatey/Haley/Princess was an entitled b****, and deserved everything she had coming.
That said, playing music actually is an effective way to help concentration. The noises are expected and regular, rather than being from external sources which trigger the "what was that?" reaction.
But again, I absolutely do not agree with playing music so loud that it disturbs the neighbors. I wear headphones/earbuds so I don't bother even people in my own home. And didn't OP buy her noise-canceling earbuds?
@@RedT...TheOriginal.NotANumber They did. She didn't seem to have bothered making use of them, otherwise, she wouldn't have had to deal with the events that lead to her being evicted. That, or she pitched them in the trash out of nothing more than petty spite.
@@RiptoGakt That was my thinking as well.
@@RiptoGakt i wouldve taken a picture of the note and ear buds i gave and shown it during 1st complaint to the board, saying "i was willing to accommodate her from the beginning by gifting her $50-150 earbuds/headphones from her 1st complaint she came to me with to avoid any anymore and harassment like this. seems shes either trashed them or is using them outside of the condo out of spite." i think the board mightve been a little more considerate that not only was she not using them but that he shelled out around $100 gift as sincerity.
(What Iâm about to say is not at all defending the EB, she is in the wrong 100%)
But itâs *my* music,
Itâs probably an ADHD thing, but if I donât like/know about a noise, itâs really hard to focus, but if Iâm making the noises,I can focus, not quite sure about the exact reason thoughâŠ
Again, not at all on her side
Me, hearing how this medicine student was harassing a sick person and putting in risk the recovering process, made me wish that OP had messaged this information to the university. This makes me worry who its going to be under this jerk's care.
Makes me wonder what the motive is for getting a medical license? It isnt about the sick people.
@@danikeebler1662 mostly likely money or to feed her own ego. Or the most probable one.... So she can use it as an excuse to be a đïž of a person.
Pretty sure that even someone with a full medical license would have a high chance of losing it if they did what she did.
@@wamas1234 Oh yeah, this is a very very common thing. "Those who seek out power are usually the ones you least want to have it" isn't just about politicians, it's also about nurses, doctors, cops, firefighters, managers, teachers... Any job that holds any amount of power over other people. For neurodivergent, chronically ill, fat, trans, or other such folks that (ironically, given the jobs of doctors) don't fit the "perfect" model of health being talked down to, denied treatment, or otherwise treated like shit by so-called health care professionals is a regular occurrence and one of the many reasons the US has the worst healthcare in the first world.

Not only that, but "only 5 decibels" above the maximum amount? For 12+ hours a day? They really tried to dismiss that, ignorance of how the measurement works or not? Fools
That president was LOOKING for reasons to dismiss OP at that point.
I was waiting the whole time for a reveal that the president was connected somehow to the entitled neighbor
@@black1917precisely why OP should go ahead with filing. Meeting minutes are going to show OP presenting vast amounts of evidence and the president trying to dismiss them.
@@InalienableOtter yep
I love how people try to discredit numbers when they don't know how the scale works. "ItS oNlY fIvE dEcIbElS"
I would gladly include a nice set of printed-out papers explaining how decibels are actually measured in that particular scenario, just to drop one heck of an anvil down on *that* kind of attempted discrediting. That would get the point across... and ensure they have a thorough lesson as a bonus, they can keep the papers going forward.
Yep. For OP's situation of 40dB vs 70dB; the sound is literally 1000x more powerful.
@@nerikori not that easy. a lot of factors can influence and, since amplitude is more important here then power (amplitude x frequency), bel scale works as 2B = factor of 10 increase.
also walls, furniture and shape of rooms influence wave propagation, create interference (so high and low pressure spots), act as serial dampeners and shift frequency, we need a different formula then simple 1B = ten times louder.
@@sakatababa True. It was at like 65-70 through OP's walls so it was probably even louder at the source as well. Still pretty stupid regardless.
@@nerikori yeah, i just comented that to an sound engineer few posts over. poor speakers...
As soon as the last one said âgossip and brown-noseâ I knew where it was going. Thereâs always one that runs off to the boss with âsecretsâ and gets people in trouble. Using that person as a tool to get more money was an outstanding move!
I don't get why OP waited so long in the noise story. Should've invited the board immediately when she started leaving music on, to let them see for themselves how loud it is.
Office gossips can suck if you donât know how to play the game. If you do; expert level achieved.
Office gossip is stupid. And people that participate in it are generally not great people.
Story 2: There was an EntitledPeople or EntitledParents story covered by DarkFluff where some really old woman (entitled person) tormented the OP of that story with super loud music and left OP with PTSD after about a year when OP moved out for their own sanity. Additionally, the old woman played the victim and made OP look like a monster whenever she went to the front desk.
The second story in this video reminded me of that one. I think OP2 wouldâve been able to get the old woman thrown out of the building with that revenge. Or the tenant that moved in would have taken matters into their own hands (most likely a lawsuit)
Do you remember which video that was?
The second story reminds me of a neighbor my dad and brothers had. They lived upstairs and both worked nights. My dad complied the first time there was complaint telling my brothers to be careful, but then they complained when my dad was doing light weight exercises and then âthat was excessiveâ. I guess the management became tone deaf to the situation so eventually the neighbors moved out a year later.
I think my mother told me a story about an upstairs neighbor who would play loud music. When you knocked on the door to tell them to turn it down they would turn it up. One day my mother brought with her either the landlord or the police. They then knocked on the door in attempt to tell the neighbor to turn the music down themselves. Then they knocked on the door the neighbor didn't even check who it was and just turned up the music
This is why hated living in any apartment situation. If you are not on the same schedule as the person you are sharing noise space, either one of you or both of you are bugging the other person with noise. And usually it will be the person in the bellow apartment that is screwed. I did that to my own sister - without meaning to. She lived below me, we were on very different schedules and because my husband and I lived in a tiny efficiency it needed to be vacuumed regularly just to keep it from feeling trashed. Apparently, for her the sound was dramatically worse so that every time I vacuumed her place resonated with an intense roaring sound. She finally explained to me the problem as she pleaded with me to adjust my cleaning schedule to align better with her schedule. Until then, I had not realized how my vacuuming sounded in the apartment below me. Lucky it was my sister and she was willing to let me know rather than just retaliating. But of course, even though it was very inconvenient, I changed my behavior to try not to torture her with the noise.
This is why they need a pass a law if these old apartment complexes don't have a proper sound-proofing from between layers of homes that they will be fined.
The tenants who lived there prior to OP did exactly that. But even with reasonable soundproofing, sound will still come through, especially if you blare music at top volume.
I live in brand new apartments here in Texas (built in the last 5 years) and I can tell you that one of the more common corner cutting measures when they build property is to completely cut out sound dampening materials between floors. There is literally zero material between my ceiling and the second floor apartment. Zero. I can hear everything that happens upstairs. Every foot fall. Every flush. Every bang, bop, or bash.
How do I know? Flood damage. The guys who did the drywall showed me that there's nothing between the floors.
I could not imagine making an enemy out of my neighbors (I have two apartments over mine with two separate families). It would be really easy to drive me out of my mind if they decided to just play music really loud at all hours.
There's are so many simple things that can be applied to existing building for sound proofing. It just piss me off so much, like subfloor can have glue applied to the floor joists with SCREWS. Spray foam in the ceiling b4 drywall as well as a metal cancel for drywall to sit into to stop the vibrations from passing through. And sound proof windows.
@@Sterl500 I live in California. I'm not super knowledgeable about our laws on soundproofing in apartments or how much mine has but every upstairs neighbor I've gotten has been progressively worse than the last. And that's saying a lot, considering two neighbors ago I had a woman who argued with her (kid? boyfriend? brother? I don't know) all day and night about her meth addiction, windows open. And yet still the ones we got after her were worse, and the ones we have now are worse than them. Landlord is also extorting us with yearly rent increases, really hoping to move out soon into a nice townhouse where it's just me and the silence above me.
@@Sterl500 I have a VERY strong surround sound speaker system, though being very sensitive to noise I like to keep things quieter than most people can ever hear. I swear though that last week I'm here they'll be hearing my music on the other side of this apartment complex.
An added note about the decibel scale is that it is logarithmic in how it's measured, thus the +3dB equaling twice the volume
Edit: I was wrong about this statement. Thank you to the replies that helped me understand this topic.
addendum:
decibel is just one tenth of bel (the actual unit). bel is a relative unit and has no inherent connections to sound, waves or pressure. there are also two ways bel is used. to compare power or root power. in one scale it is equal to increase by a factor of 10 and in the other scale (root power, ie. amplitude) you would need two bels to increase it by factor of 10.
most likely usage here is of sound pressure level (measured in pascal) and volume vs power is not as cut and dry as one would think. thermodynamics, composite materials, shape of chamber (rooms, furniture, etc) and aerodynamics all play a huge role and need to be acounted for. interference also plays a role in creating spots of high or low pressure.
so +0.3B can be but is not always a double of increase in volume.
Thank you for that. Sorry for the confusion everyone
Audio engineer here. Technically, itâs 6-10dB thatâs perceived as a doubling, not 3dB.
@@hjhgaming8634 so is there a difference between perceived noise and actual noise or is it the same ?
@@suchirghuwalewala Absolutely. Mathematical difference, and perceived difference are two separate things. The 6dB doubling is in a perfect environment, which doesnât exist out of a control room with perfect sound treatment
Rslash, I've listened to you pretty much every day for the last year or so. I'm sure you have more dedicated fans but I want you to know my last couple years have been filled with abuse and sadness and depression. Every video of yours that I listen tou makes me calm and happy and just helps me realize that a lot of my issues are valid but so much less then so many other things that people go through on a daily basis. Thank you so much for narrating these videos. They help so much and I would NOT be half as okay as I am now if I didn't have you in my CZcams feed everyday making me laugh and feel etter. I hope you see this. I'm okay if you don't though. Either way you're amazing
Hey there, Iâve PTSD and permanent nerve damage from severe child/young adult abuse, so I fully understand the depression, abuse, blaming yourself when youâre not actually at fault, all of that. Know that youâre not alone, and youâre a wonderful, kind person, I can tell that just from how youâve written to rSlash. Weâre here for you :)
@@ZombieSazza Thank you so much, your words mean more then i have the words to say. Im so sorry for what you've gone through and i hope you now have the support to thrive that you deserve
@@janna-gracemackie5622 just remember your health is before everything else! Stay safe and have a wonderful life!
Hang in there homie - try not to worry too much about whether or not your own issues are 'valid,' or compare them against the difficulties that anyone else might or might not be dealing with.
You have as much of a right to be happy and free from depression as any other person - You deserve a decent life just as much as any of the rest of us.
If there are issues or difficulties or problems getting in the way of you living your best life, causing you pain, distress or anxiety, then they need to be dealt with.
Don't let your depression talk you into believing that you aren't important enough, or your problems aren't severe enough to deserve any kind of help or treatment, or that others might have more of a right to access that help.
There are people who can help you.
Assuming that you're in a different country to me, I can't really talk with any authority about what kind of options are open or available to you, but I can guarantee they're out there. Happily, there are people who can help with finding out all about that stuff too.
You don't have to put up with feeling like this - You deserve better.
Best of luck dude.
@@stickiedmin6508 I'm sorry I didn't reply sooner! I can't even express how sincere and wholesome you made me feel by reading that. Anytime I feel down, I'm going to come here and read your words. Thank you so much

@ central Europe gang
Why do you need an alarm to remember something that happens at the same time every single day?
I hope OP's dad was able to get must needed rest and recovery after their neighbor moved out. It disturbs me to know someone was studying for the medical field and doing such actions to a neighbor who was undergoing treatment.
"Small Asian Friend" is a very unusual thing to add.
I can understand small friend but why did he include asian lmao
@@nuages8915 this sounds racist but its because stereotypically asians doesn't have much muscles

"Going 5dB over the limit isn't that bad"... Does this person doesn't know how decibels work ? Like, 23 db x 2 isn't 46 dB, it's 26. So, it's more than double the noise level authorized
Wait, how DO decibels work? đ€
@@lunalgaleo1991 I am pretty sure that decibels are measured on a logarithmic scale like how earthquakes are measured
@@i_am_bisexual_or_something3132 đ€đ I'unno anything about that, so I'm just gonna take your word for it.
This is the max, this is over the max, this consequence for violating this rule, this is the consequence for violating multiple rules or the same rule multiple times. IN. THAT. ORDER.
@@i_am_bisexual_or_something3132 It's totally right. There's the maths explained on Wikipedia, but I suck at maths, so I'm not gonna try to explain it x)
I (well, my parents) had to deal with someone in a high position not understanding how the decibel system works. Garbage trucks were coming at 5:30~6:15 am where I lived, and we eventually managed to catch them being 2 db over the limit (IIRC, limit is 65 on those things, but I might be wrong, so if it's, say, 85, turn all the db values in the following story up by 20 or whatever the difference is)... except we weren't in the range specified for that limit - 25~50 feet away - but 83 feet and two walls (exterior and interior) plus another 24 feet up, so call it 85 feet away minimum. Again, with two walls to dampen the noise further.
So we played a 60 db sound in the office where we were told "it's only 2 db over the limit, that's within the margin of error on most measurement devices". We told them it was a 65 before we played it. They said we had to have played the wrong volume, that was way too loud. So, we looked, and said "oh, sorry, you're right, we did play the wrong thing. That was 60. Here's 65". Yeah, a sound easily twice as loud was released, and we had them agree that that's loud, "but, you know, it's a short period of time once a week, and it's far away."
"Yeah, it's a short period of time once a week. It's 6am on monday mornings, this kid here has sleep problems already and so mondays are even more of a problem for him at school than for most kids because he's getting woken up way too early"
The response? "Okay, but even if it's a little loud, you should be fine unless you don't have up-to-code sound insulation in your home"
"Perhaps you all missed the part where this measurement was taken in the range where the limit is 10 lower than what you've been quoting all this time. And the fact that it's an indoor measurement from his bedroom, in a house that was designed with sound and heat insulation as key considerations, all doors and windows closed tight - which is supposed to not be needed to be happy with noise ordinance laws. Here's what it is if we open a window and stick the meter to it" (hands over a picture showing, a window, false dawn lighting, a phone showing the date and time being 5:53am on monday the IDRth of February, the same db meter we'd been using displaying 84, and a garbage truck just barely visible in the distant background picking up our neighbor's trash bin)
"Oh. OH. I SEE..."
The only fix they had for us was to move the routes around a bit so we had our trash get picked up at 7:45 or so on mondays.
listening to rslash while bundled up with the heating on at sunrise (and animating)- odd combo i adore
Same just got up
Not sure how the last story counts as pro-revenge! The raise was well deserved and you continued to work hard for it. r/AssholeTax maybe, since it cost them extra to retain OP's services but...
Agreed, Pro-revenge would have been actually going to another salon and poaching all the old salon's clients.
Pro revenge because it happened out of spite AND had a lasting impact on those involved.
But yes, /AssholeTax fits as well.
"I'm studying to be a doctor, and I'm going to consistently disturb a man recovering from medical issues to do it!"
I was having flashbacks at condo/hoa story. The HOA knew my next door neighbors were noise demons. The complex was built for adults only in the 1970s. Our condo walls do not have a drop of insulation in them. Soon after, this was deemed not legal housing practice. I heard my idiot neighbors loud and clear, slamming each other against my walls and almost sounding as if they could come through my wall at all hours of the night. They were having sex and using my walls as a trampoline almost every night. I would take recovery from the night before naps and the kids would start in fighting and screaming.
They filled up my trash cans before my trash was in it. I found receipts to prove it was them. I took their trash and blocked garage door with a ton of bags...be grateful I did not slice them on the bottoms.
I was the renting to own tennant and they were owners. The noise was expected but too random to wait for it to record at 2 am. The crappy real estate agent that sold the condo to my landlord parents KNEW of the noise issues because she is on the board of my HOA. The family was a noise menace every time they used the pool.
The HOA took the same "we dont care, just make sure your dues check shows up on time" attitude.
MALICIOUS COMPLIANCE..I am a state mandated child abuse reporter. The little girl was screaming bloody murder at midnight. So I reported them. There was s formal meeting. He plead stupidity because he worked nights. Wifey was convientently not there to explain wtf happens.
WHAT A NARCISSIST HE IS.
Nothing was resolved. After I left, he stayed and they probably told him off the record, FIGURE IT OUT OR ELSE.
The noise got much worse because they knew they were moving to different state. They sold it to a couple who are a sweet older couple.
My only regret is I was not more persistent in recording the sexcapades. I would have LOVEDD to play that back during a formal meeting with the HOA.
The second story reminds me of a old story that rSlash featured, where the guy made the same thing (high volume music) against bad neighbors, it shows that good tatics can be used as evil tatics too
that last story is the same way I got a raise, I told the boss' son that I'd found a place paying more and was considering joining them instead, the next week I was paid a dollar an hour more matching the other job. it wasn't big but it did me well
This was a great one, three high tier levels of epic winning from crushing your enemies to using a bigmouth to fix a pay check injustice. Thanks.
That second story was ridiculous, how in gods name can you consider music playing above the maximum limit for more than 14 hours a day acceptable?
I live in an apartment and was stuck home for 2 weeks (the rough times yeah). I live on the ground floor. One time I was very bored. I had just finished Robert Downey's sherlock movies and didn't feel like watching something else, but didn't know what I could do to entertain myself. So inspired by the greatest and wisest man Watson ever knew, decided I'd just listen to my upstairs neighbor for hours and try to deduce whatever I could about them just going off of sounds I heard. Was actually pretty fun.
It bugged me so much that you kept saying Haley instead of Hatey. "Hat ee" I'm pretty sure it was an Ella Enchanted reference heh.
A minor point about decibels, the scale is logarithmic, meaning 3 decibels does double the energy, but human perception is also logarithmic, which is why we use the decibel scale. It roughly mimics what sounds actually sound like to humans
Never say 2 against 1. Because the second you do some dumb shut itâs 2 against 1+police(1-15)
What a great time to have this to listen to
"Butthole puckered in anger" made me giggle while I was working. Love it lmao
I hope that everyone is having a good Saturday!
thanks for another prorevenge video đ
Honestly in the last one at first I thought op was just gonna fall off the stool when they said put the plan into action
In regards to the loud neighbor only once have I had to bang on the ceiling. This guy was banging or hammering the floor for like an hour directly above us while me and my friend tried to watch a movie
Finally got feed up and hit the ceiling with a broom handle the guy stopped (and since walls are thin) said WTF? But he stopped
"Its two against one"
Op: that hardly seems fair...for you two
Some people don't understand the importance of our bodies needing sleep to heal properly.
"I tricked my boss into giving me $40,000!"
awesome title!
Daily reminder that you are loved and appreciated even if you donât know it
The first story, I can understand paying bills on the last possible day. For sake of an argument if you have two weeks to pay your electric bill, pay it on the 14th day. The money's better off in my pocket then someone else's
Every time the clock strikes 15:00, I excitedly refresh my subscription box.
Amen friend
Although it might be 14 tomorrow.
Funny how the lady gets mad at Op for making ânoiseâ but she leaves her music blasting at all hours of the day. Like the hypocrisy. đ
Got to say, telling the rumor mill employee for the last story is hilarious. For an Uber Raise.
9:35 for those who don't know- decibels aren't a linear scale, every 10 units is another digit on the scale. 0 db is near nothing (like running you fingers on your skin or hearing your own resting hearbeat), 10 db is like a 10, 20 db is like a 100, and 30 db is like 1,000.
So a speaker playing at 60 db is like having 100,000 "units of sound" playing. literally deafening sound.
For the story about the decibel sound thanks for the explanation at the end. I didnât know that it doubled like that at the end so your explanation really helped.
Story 2: for anyone wondering about the Decibels; Decibels don't increase geometrically but logarithmically, meaning that instead of adding to the sound it multiplies it
as in: 20 Decibels are actually 10 times louder than 10 Decibels
so I knew that the President was BS'ing as Hatey was actually playing her music 5 times louder than what was allowed
With everyone saying this is what they listen to in the morning. I have to say this is the best stuff to listen to when you are dead tired coming back from a graveyard shift
Thank you sir being so reliable! It's nice having something to listen to in the mornings
I have to wake up at 6 for this but itâs worth it
Don't worry it will still be on later if you sleep in.
@@mariposa9506 ya but it gives you time to get ready for the day
I actually knew about the Decibels thing from Death Battle. Decibels scale Logarithmically, which a lot of people don't realize. For example, 20 decibels is 10x stronger than 10 decibels, 30 is 10x stronger than 20 and 100x stronger than 10, 40 is 10x stronger than 30, 100x stronger than 20, and 1000x stronger than 10, and so on and so forth.
Some other facts about decibels and the intensity of sound:
Prolonged exposure of 80-90 db is enough to cause hearing damage, or even hearing loss
125 db can actually cause physical pain in anyone close to it
A chainsaw 3 feet away from you ranges at about 110 db, while a Jet Engine that's 100 feet away is about 140 db
At 150 db, your eardrums would burst, and at 185-200 db, sound is loud enough to be lethal
DB is not increased in a straight line no, but it's not doubling per 3dB either. The sound pressure is 10 times higher per 10dB.
Sound is often said to be perceived as double as loud per 10dB.
A typical noise floor in an apartment where you're not doing anything is 25-35dB, OP said 40dB which can happen. 20dB = whisper, 60dB = conversation.
The noise OP experienced from the music (almost 80db) was equivalent of a vacuum cleaner being run right next to them, in their home.
Most important might be that when there's a noise limit like this, that's the loudest you're allowed to be in your own home. Not the amount of noise you're allowed to cause for your neighbors.
Heâs too dumb to know this. His Google âresearchâ wasnât enough.
While the girls were trudging the furniture outside to the uHual, OP should have come outside and said: âCan you please keep the noise down, I would hate to have to submit a complaint!â
Quick side note regarding decibels, while a 2:1 ratio increase of sound pressure would equate to 3 dB, our human hear responds approximately to base 10 logarithm, so in reality, it would require a 10:1 increase in sound pressure to be perceived as 2x as loud. You can test this yourself using a pre-amp. In something like iTunes, go to open the EQ (window -> equalizer) and set the preamp to -10. Increase it 3 dB and listen and note how much louder it is; it shouldnât be much louder. Bring it back down to -10, then bring it up to 0, this 10 dB increase should double the soundâs volume relative to what you were hearing before. You can try to increase it to +10 to double it again, though youâll likely encounter some distortion if you do this.
This is also why itâs very difficult to get something very loud to begin with. To double the volume of something, you need 10x the power. If you want to increase the volume 4x youâd need 10^4 more power, or 1000x the power. 5x volume requires 10000x the power, etc. Do note that there are differences from human to human and even at different frequencies (your hearing is more sensitive to upper midrange than it is to low bass or high treble). So the 10x power (or +10 dB) for double volume is a loose estimate.
All this said, I generally listen to music around 70-75 dB, so having that always going through my house would be obnoxious.
No, she was banging on her ceiling. The roof is exclusively the very top of the building.
That being said, she's clearly never lived beneath anyone before and is being super unreasonable. OP never mentions specifically explaining to this med student that there was someone recovering from medical treatments being directly affected... I wonder if they divulged that information at any point to try to calm this petty girl down.
Also, I'm 6'1" and over 200lbs, hearing them call OP fat hurt. Also, even if they were obese or something, then so what?
Honestly, if your downstairs neighbour can hear it when you walk around normally and "accidentally drop something", then either you're not walking normally or there is no sound insulation to speak of. Same with her bass shaking his stuff _upstairs_ and him being able to hear it clearly. Sure, neighbour was a complete asshole here, but this all sounds like the condo had paperthin walls to begin with.
It doesn't really matter. Someone needs to tell this girl that living in an apartment is going to involve hearing noise from other apartments. At least she's not living next to frat boys. I've had that experience, and it's not recommended.
@@Stinkehund
Honestly, you weren't paying attention. They had it inspected, so the idea that there's not enough or nothing between the floors is demonstrably not the case.
And hearing something dropped or furniture being moved isn't unreasonable at all. Expecting it to be completely soundproof is your problem, and unreasonable expectations.
@@scottbecker4367
Right. Stinkehund has unreasonable expectations and is honestly probably a kid who's only ever lived in a house.
I'm always at work by 7 or 8 so these vids help the day go by fast.
OP: There I stood in this rickety ladder for the last time
Me: I'd take the fall too OP
The story: has nothing to do with the banner or the ladder
I've been listening to these as I go to bed for over a year, you got some good chords going for you man, ice watched you grow, learn and just grow as a creator, love to see it, and keep up the good work!
I used to live above a noise sensitive "neighbor". She was just as absurd as this noise story. I have two cats, they love to play and run up and down the stairs and do cat stuff. Well, if the lady downstairs heard ANY noise, she would start banging on the walls/ceiling and start screaming her head off. I didnt get revenge or anything, but karma did find its way to her in the end. I ended up moving to a different unit in a different building and she ended up moving out after someone else had moved it to my old unit. She ended up losing out of her security deposit (no clue why exactly). There was loads of times where she had called the cops on me and my gf but everytime, they found there was no such noise issue. Whats really fucked up is that the apt manager back then didnt do anything but allowed it to occur. We were even told about the lady from the very same manager. Soon as we could, we moved and our stress levels dropped vastly. Really cant stand anyone who is that noise sensitive. Anger management for sure.
At the same time, 10 decibels = 10 times the volume; hence âdeciâ.
The second story ( Where rSlash' ) tells us how 3db is double the 'signal strength' reminded me of a sticker I saw on the back of a sports car waiting at traffic lights in Trafalgar Square...it read 'E=Mc2 =/- 10db'...I literally cracked up with laughter. The guy in the car looked at me and just grinned !
Love this stories. Also, about dB. Yes, an increase of 3dB is double the energy but human ears don't perceive as double the volume. Our ears are logarithmic too, so every 10dB it's perceived as double the volume, 20dB is perceived as double the volume of 10dB, 30dB is perceived as double the volume of 20dB, etc. Another perspective of logarithmic scales: if you have a boombox making a sound at 40dB, you can double the perceived volume (50dB) with ten boombox making the exact same sound, and 100 boomboxes to double the perceived volume again (60dB).
3dB increase is double the energy required, but we only perceive double the volume until we reach a 10dB increase.
Fun fact, most of our senses, if not all of them, are logarithmic.
I love that he accidentally calls Hatey Haley the entire time.
I like how he said "They're enormous slobs and I clean up after them" I thought he was talking about by step-family
My job literally conducts noise source/dosimetery surveys on military bases. 85dba (the âAâ in dba is the wave length at which our ears pick up noise frequency) over a course of 8 hours can cause temporary hearing problems-so having noise at 70dba over 16 hours means that they could possibly have some sort of hearing complication. Noise is NOT something to play with, it will mess you up for life. Acoustic trauma,is a real thing and thatâs why people on the flight line not only have one source of hearing PPE, but have to have TWO (earbuds and earphones/com).
Each decibel increase is an exponential equation or for lamen's terms 40 Db is an overhead fan in a room while 115 is a jet plane taking off 70 decibels is the same as someone playing an acoustic guitar in your room.
I'm getting the feeling that Hately was just an incompetent student and took any excuse to claim that she couldnt study.
0:46 if he just stopped they would probably get mad at him lol
decibles are on a logarithmic scale because the ear is adaptive and concieved sound is therefore linear. So it doesn't "sound" double as loud at +10db.
Heâs too stupid to know that. His 10 seconds of Google âresearchâ wasnât enough.
@@troleenzomanetoa7662 that's not what I was trying to say, but yeah, I do feel like he tend's to lean pretty far out of the window. Especially when it comes to self-promoting. Like reading reddit posts requires any creativity what so ever..
@@looony His self-promotion and ego are annoying. Youâre exactly right. Reading stories OTHER PEOPLE wrote requires absolutely no skill beyond the ability to read. And considering he canât even read a five letter name correctly, that skill is lacking. Heâs talked about how he has a masters degree as though that makes him better than other people. Clearly itâs not helping him if all he can manage to do all day is read stuff by other people. I refuse to believe he works as hard as he wants people to believe he does.
Heâs made comments about how âeveryone watches pornâ which is both presumptive and gross. Using stills from porn in his thumbnails is disgusting. I feel bad for his wife and kid because heâs made it clear heâs a huge fan of porn. Married men who watch porn while their wives are in the house are disgusting people and deserve to be divorced by said wives.
@@troleenzomanetoa7662 I think he read "Haley" on porpuse, as to not confuse podcast-watchers and and I'm pretty sure he does youtube, because youtube pays much better than average jobs (with that size at least). Apart from that, I agree with every point you made, except maybe the porn. I do remember that video where he spoke about porn. I think that wasn't even the worst part of the video, but I don't remember what the worst part was. Ofcourse it depends on the person. At least where I live, it's pretty normal for men (and women) to watch porn, even in a relationship, heck, some partners watch it together and if the wife isn't in the mood but you need to get your rocks off, that's probably how. I do also know a few people, mostly women, that don't watch porn at all, so I can understand where you're coming from.
Harass: If you can't focus with a tiny bit of ambient noise, medicine is not the field for you.
At 14:45 you are both right and wrong about decibels. The energy of the sound is doubled for every 3db, yes. But human hearing works at a logarithmic scale. So +3 db is the same level of noticeable increase always.
That medical student would be the worse nurse/doctor if she graduated.
I usually listen to you when I commute to and from work, almost everytime I pull into my driveway I get the "that was r slash *insert sub name*" and I always think, no Rslash, that was perfect timing!
Thanks again meine kerle, hope the family are well!
14:37 is that a Yugo I hear? I miss the puppy bloopers...
14:16 *INTENSE MATH I N T E N S I F I E S*
R Slash needs to double check his knowledge like he does in other vids. Industrial noise can range from 80-120 decibels but if things doubled every 3, the pressure waves would have physically painful effects before 100 rather than around 140 decibels
Getting $40K from getting a raise over the period of 5 years is not "tricking" your boss into giving them $40K... đ€Šââđ€Šââ
Don't buy gifts for people who are assholes, it doesn't work, it solidifies their stance.
Good Morning! Hope everyone has a good day/evening! đ„°
Never split rent 50/50 with two people. Maybe 55/45. They're generally using more common area time, electricity, inviting more people, etc. I learned this the hard way with an ex friend.
I would have still sued the condo board after they kicked out Haley for negligence.
The only way to make people listen is money and when you take their money from them then they listen.
Dude should contact her med school letting them know she's intentionally trying to harm a cancer patient.
People in these stories be like: *Breaks the law excessively and is a horrible person*
Op: *Delivers that sweet, sweet justice*
The People: _"hOw DaRe YoU dO tHaT tO mE i HaTe YoU wAaAaAaAaH"_
70db is a lot. Decibels is a measure of sound. Sound is a pressure wave, meaning that it's not measured linearly.
So an easy example would be a gun shot. At the muzzle, the sound is in the range of 130-160 decibels, depending on variables. As you get further and further away from the gun, the pressure of that wave drops substantially.
Another good example is dropping a rock into glassy water. You can visualize the rings around the rock and at the center there might be a big splash, but as you get further away, the wave starts to lose momentum.
So to be at 70 decibels inside OPs apt. It could be all of 110 in the girls apt. Which is way over hearing safe.
"it's 2 against 1"
"I like those odds"
The first story is why "just get a roommate" ideology is so terrible. I get so very tired of people claiming that roommates is the way to go if you cannot afford to live on your own.
I know this is 2 years old, but it popped up on my "suggested" videos.
Nerd input on decibels (dB): 3 dBs is only 1.4 times louder than previous level. 5 dBs is 1.77 times louder than previous level. So 5 dBs over acceptable limit is still quite loud.đ
Deadass everyday I watch you during my break and I love it thank you!!
Only at 8:38, so OP may have ended up doing this, not sure yet..... but if that person really is pre-med, go to the college and report their attitude, they will lecture her about needing to have a good reputation since she plans on working for the community as a career and doubt she would want that. Especially if she has a professor who likes to make an example of people.
I say this as someone who went to medical school so I know how much they care about these types of things. Colleges care cuz they can't leave that town, unlike the student who is only there for a few years (and most have fine print saying they get to keep your tuition if you get kicked out for disciplinary reasons, so they have no loyalty to the students, they do have some loyalty to the local area though, especially when you consider the fact that colleges get donations from local alumni usually. So historically colleges care more about keeping locals happy rather than the students.
Now back to see what OP did......
God, im also currently dealing with a nightmare neighbor. He blasts bass boosted music all day, is stalking AND harrassing me, and is abusing his gf. This has been going on for over a year with my building manager apparently powerless to stop him bc of the eviction moritorium. Lets see how he likes being served anti harassment papers >:)
Tbh, if I was OP in the sound story: I would have acted WAY before that.
And *especially* demanded compensation.
A Brazilian quote that relates to the second story, for all my Machado fans out there and curious ppl alike:
"E os olhos que me deitou... se pudessem matar, teriam resolvido tdo"
2vs1?
I am not locked in here with you two. You are locked in here with me!
I would've demanded recompense from the condo board. No way they get off scot-free after that.
#2, "why is she complaining about noise?", Complains about noise. How about coming to an arrangement and have hatey and op trade apartments? That would have been my solution.
You canât trade condos. Theyâre individually owned like houses.
Harass: I've also had to pull my onsite caretaker and the actual landlord into my suite to hear the lyrics of my neighbor's music. They agreed with me, too, that my noise complaints for the people below me were entirely valid.
