STOCKHOLM, Sweden, - An elderly couple have been charged with harassment for playing Iron Maiden songs at top volume toward their neighbors' home, Swedish police said.
The couple was taking revenge on their new neighbors in the Stockholm area, who they said were too loud, Aftonbladet Daily reported Sunday.
The 71-year-old woman, whose name was not reported, said the new neighbors were so loud, she had to take sleeping pills in order to sleep.
"We wanted to give a taste of their own medicine," her 81-year-old husband said.
The couple set up a music system on their balcony facing their neighbor's home, police said.
The elderly couple allegedly played the music until as late as 4 a.m. throughout the winter, The Local.se reported.
"The harassment has just carried on, I am completely broken down. How can I keep living here," the neighbors told police.
Nothing beats Yoko Ono for real harassment.
?
:)
Sounds like my idea of cool neighbors!
Up the Irons!
Made ‘em run to the hills.
I call your Ono and raise with a Bieber.
Dammit Norm, we need to quit agreeing on stuff.
Just knock it off. It’s messing up my world view.
Sorry G. It’s not my fault I swear! ;)
Up the irons! Trooper beer worldwide in a few weeks too!
WHAT?
Great... 20 years and now I gotta drink again?
Well, Obama IS in office so...
Svenskefaen :)...
LOL
If they really wanted to torture their neighbors, they should have played the Time-Life Disco Collection.
Hell yeah!
Moral of the story?
Don’t mess with old pharts.
Did anyone else participate in dorm stereo wars?
Back then it was “Dark side of the Moon” and Holtz’ “The Planets.” If you turned the woofers onto the floors you could make the windows flux about 1/2” or more...
Dear God!
Thanks for ruining my breakfast!
They thought it was a real joke when I asked them nicely to turn down their music.
The next morning, when they thought they were going to sleep off their drunkenness, I turned on a local gospel radio channel at full blast with the speakers up against the apartment wall, pounded on the wall while yelling "WAKE UP M-F-ERS!" I left for work with the gospel music still playing, and only turned it off when I got home at 5:00. Never heard a peep out of that white trash again.
