1. How’s your tolerance for alcohol?
Rather pathetic, actually.  Two drinks and I'm out.  Sometimes this leads to amusing events, most of the time it just leads to a miserable hangover when I drink beyond my usual 2 drinks.

2. How’s your tolerance for noisy neighbors?
It depends on the kind of noise, and the time of day.  If it's kids being noisy during the day, that's okay.  If it's someone clomping up and down the stairs in the middle of the night, I tend to get cranky.  And if it's some stoner douchebag living underneath me playing the bass line to Stone Temple Pilots' Sour Girl for hours and hours and hours, I tend to get really angry.  (Back a few years ago, when I was living on Bay Street, I had a neighbor like that.  They shut up pretty quickly after Bridget moved in, dealt with them for an hour, and went downstairs to tell them she'd call the cops on them if they kept up their noise pollution.)

3. How’s your tolerance for physical pain?
Eh, I can tolerate it, but I don't like it.  I can tolerate it well enough, I guess- I do have two tattoos, and have sprained my back four times.  Bee stings are the worst, though.  I was miserable when I got stung a few weeks ago.

4. How’s your tolerance for intolerant people?
I can't tolerate intolerant people!  XD  Haha, but seriously, people need to loosen up.

5. How’s your tolerance for bad music?
Depends on what you mean by "bad".  There's music that's bad because the lyrics are ridiculous, there's music that's bad because it's annoying, and then there's music that's bad because whoever's singing has all the musical skill of a yowling cat.

LOL! I agree about the bad music thing, and the noisy neighbor observation. Kids are ok. But what really makes me upset is people who blast their ultra loud rap music that I can literally feel through my floor even though I am on the top floor of my building and they are across the street. I have called the police many times for this one reason.

And I also have very weak tolerance for alcohol. Once my ex and I were sitting around drinking whiskey and coke (one of my favorite drinks) and watching The Kings of Comedy. I think I got like 8oz in and I don't remember anything after that. XD All my friends drink like fish but surprisingly they all say they wish they had my tolerance for alcohol. I don't know if they're saying that because it's true or to make me feel better.

I've had neighbors like that too! A few summers ago, I rented out a small upstairs apartment with neighbors who liked to blare their rap music at all times, and have wild DDR parties until 3 am. I remember one night when I had to work at 8 am, and it was 2 am, and they were still stomping and yelling and stuff... I went down to ask them to shut up - I was knocking on their door with people literally sitting RIGHT NEXT TO THE DOOR and nobody could hear me (or chose to hear me, whatever). So I called the cops! No more late night DDR parties!
