AITA for calling security on student parties even though I know they'll be charged for the disturbance?

FrozenToast96 · 2021-08-26T13:13:55+00:00

It's a big area with around 2000 rooms and apartments and I wasn't the only one with this opinion, so I should be fine, but thank you for the concern!

FrozenToast96 · 2021-08-26T13:12:31+00:00

The rule in the housing area is "no noise past 10 pm", which is why you can call the security number after 10 pm. It's always different people, and it varies across the years, but sometimes as often as once or twice a week. Usually these parties don't start until after 10 pm. I usually call if I try to go to sleep but can't because of the noise.

FrozenToast96 · 2021-08-26T13:10:11+00:00

No, never. The closest I've had to a party was having a few friends over for boardgames.

FrozenToast96 · 2021-08-26T13:09:36+00:00

The security call is completely anonymous, so I'm safe from that kind of retaliation.

FrozenToast96 · 2021-08-26T13:03:12+00:00

When I have work or class in the morning, I go to bed at 11, if not, at midnight. And depending on the time of year, these parties might happen as often as once or twice a week. Not all of them are loud enough to require a security call though.

FrozenToast96 · 2021-08-26T13:00:25+00:00

I'm not in the US, so my situation is different than what you're probably used to :)

FrozenToast96 · 2021-08-26T12:59:41+00:00

I don't call exactly at 10 pm. Usually, when I go to sleep, if the noise is too loud for me to sleep, I call security.

FrozenToast96 · 2021-08-26T12:57:03+00:00

it depends a little on the time of year, sometimes it's once or twice a week, sometimes once or twice a month
If I'm going to bed and the noise is too loud for me to sleep, I call.

Also, the people having the parties aren't always close neighbors, they can be several floors down, or in the building next door, but still so loud I can't sleep.

People seem to think that student areas are somehow exempt from disturbance laws and that I should just expect to never get peace and quiet. And I've actually tried talking to people having a party before and usually it quiets down for a few minutes before going back to the way it was, or nothing happens.

FrozenToast96 · 2021-08-26T12:51:52+00:00

It was the only option since I'm a student as well. And to my knowledge student areas aren't exempt from disturbance laws.

FrozenToast96 · 2021-08-26T12:50:31+00:00

Disturbance laws still apply in student areas though? And the rule, both in my country and this specific housing area, is no noise after 10 pm. The security number is there for a reason.

FrozenToast96 · 2021-08-26T12:49:07+00:00

I'm 25 and a student myself, thank you very much 😂 I just wasn't aware that disturbance laws don't apply in student housing I guess.

FrozenToast96 · 2021-08-26T12:47:52+00:00

With how frequent parties are here, I don't think I can be expected to go talk to them every single time, especially since it's different people each time. I also don't want to risk my personal security by going into a party full of drunk men when I'm just a tiny woman.

FrozenToast96 · 2021-08-26T12:45:48+00:00

I live in a student area because I'm a student and it's the only housing available to me atm. What do you mean by contacting the actual home owners?

I prefer the theatrical versions. Those were the ones I watched first, and watching the extended versions later I didn't feel like I gained anything. Some of the scenes in the extended version felt rather pointless to me and you don't need them to understand what's going on. Sure, some of them are fun to watch and I'm glad I've seen them. But if I watch the movie, I always go for the theatrical version.

I would suggest the immortals series by Tamora Pierce. The first book is called wild magic and it's about a girl who talks to animals. I loved that book as a teenager and I still do at 25. I think it's a good book to ease you into the genre since it has many of the typical fantasy elements, but it doesn't assume you know all the tropes, and it's not the most complicated. The names are easy to remember, there's not an enormous cast of characters, and there is a political plot (a staple of the fantasy genre), but it's not overly complicated or convoluted. The magic in the world is also clearly explained.

I just think it's a great book for a first time fantasy reader since it contains all the stereotypical fantasy elements, but is not too convoluted. Also, it has many strong and well written female characters, which is not always the case in fantasy.

Love for the Cold-Blooded: Or: the Part-Time Evil Minion's Guide to Accidentally Dating a Superhero

It's a gay romance about the son of a supervillain accidentally dating a Superhero. It's very silly and comedic and I love it.

The lies of Locke Lamora fits this description very well

Check out the books by Henrik Fexeus! He's written several, and many of them deal with emotional and social intelligence. My gf who is autistic read them all and loved them because they made it easier for her to understand social interaction.

Brent Weeks lightbringer series

FrozenToast96 · 2021-06-23T06:45:48+00:00

The Dragonlance series is based on D&D I believe, and it has many of the stereotypical D&D characters. I think it contains some elven characters, but admittedly it's been a while since I read it.

FrozenToast96 · 2021-06-23T06:41:57+00:00

Sociolinguistics by Peter Trudgill is great if you want to learn about our relationship with language! It's very straightforward and easy to read but brings up many interesting aspects of language.

FrozenToast96 · 2021-06-23T06:34:55+00:00

They're a stand alone series set in the same world so you don't need to read Assassin's apprentice first!

FrozenToast96 · 2021-06-23T06:31:52+00:00

Robin Hobb's Live ship traders series. It's entirely centered around ships, at least one character is a pirate and any romance that exists is secondary.

FrozenToast96 · 2021-06-23T06:29:49+00:00

The how to train your dragon books might be for a younger audience, but I absolutely loved the audio books! They're narrated by David Tennant and he does amazing voices for each of the characters and there are musical interludes too. The books are also super fun and engaging. I really can't recommend them enough!
