One Man's Weird Way Of Dealing With Loud Neighbor Sex
This guy may not be in New York City—we aren't the only city with thin-walled residences—but he is over on YouTube showing the world how he deals with thin walls and loud neighbors. Particularly, how he deals when said neighbors are doin' it. You know, sex. Our protagonist sets up challenges for himself, called "Thin Wall Challenges," that he needs to finish before the couple... finishes.
In this one, titled "Two Neighbors One Cup," he starts out asking: "What has four arms and four legs and is currently gettin' it on next door? It's my neighbors." He then introduces his task for the day, and if he doesn't complete his task, he tases himself (though punishments change with each different challenge).

my friend would just blast some whitesnake on repeat facing their wall when she left for the day.

His way of dealing is funny.
Yes, this is a noisy city. But I'm so tired of "you live in NYC/you asked for it/if you don't like it, then move" shtick. I've lived here 15+ years --- but that doesn't mean I want to, or should have to, live in an uncivil city. Because things happen here doesn't make them the norm, or acceptable to those around us. Just like I don't want to have to watch for dog dog shit that an owner didn't pick up because they don't care about anyone around them, I don't want to hear neighbors having loud sex at ridiculous hours. I think a little bit of consideration, when you're the one screwing, or the one with the shitting dog, goes a long way.
The mindset of learned apathy in our city, as means of survival, is ridiculous.
Perhaps pleasure yourself on their apartment door? Mark your territory to send a message.

Did this guy not go to college??? He's TERRIBLE at quarters. Meanwhile, ironically I am watching this as my walls are shaking while my neighbors are having sex.

We had this a few years ago. My husband and I would alternate between applauding or booing (at random, we didn't care) after their performance. I think it freaked them out since the lady, who I totally could have been friends with if she had a friggin sense of humor, would always turn scarlet and run away if she saw me in the hall.
Sometimes I was a loud neighbor (he had told my roommate he could hear me). For weeks after he would look at me like he knew this secret (he didn't know she had told me what he said). So I was waiting for him to say something, and when he finally did, I replied to him, "Well, I know my roomy gives you "happy endings" after you pay for your massages." See, sometimes it's not nice to "zing" your neighbor, cause we got sh*t on you too.

So the point of the story is that you and your room mate are a couple of ho's
4 out of 5 stars Everthere. Works as advertised ... although there is a minimal chance that the speaker portion could move away from your ears if you toss and turn and the headband moves.
For the most part though, solid product and glad I got it.
