Childish??? Maybe.......Pure satisfaction in making up for the lose of sleep the night prior?? Absolutely!!

You're my flippin' hero. Actually all of you guys that posted on how to get creatively get even with these idiots are my hero. I just learned some new techniques. Gracias!

Which reminds me of a time in BUF at a hotel that had paper thin walls. The couple next door were fornicating loudly and I had an early wake up call. While I was happy for the guy, it did start to get just a tad bit annoying so I knocked on the wall which stopped the "oohs" and "aahs" at least for a little while.

Of course it started back up again. So I decided to call their room. I could hear their phone ringing both in my handset and across the wall, too. They just kept on going so I just let it ring probably for at least 30X. Finally she answered and in a very out of breath voice said "Hello?". I asked if I could come over and watch. Well, to make a long story short......that stopped the disturbance :D

I still ring the miscreant's room from the lobby giving them their well deserved wake up call. Then one more time from the airport just to drive the point home.

Hahaha I thought I was the only one that did that! I will even call after first leg if it's a short one.

This is my method, as well. A couple of other pointers- tilt the clock so the speaker is pressed directly against the offender's wall, and pack it in a pillow on the other side to avoid "collateral damage" to other adjoining rooms.

Nope. She kinda gasped when I asked her that and then hung up. However, I did get to sleep with no further disturbances :D

While riding airplanes they do. Their ears are very sensitive to air pressure and it helps out.
