Or just do like I used to when I would have the 4am van... fill out the 'breakfast menu' doorknob hanger with the earliest delivery time and most expensive items. Even better if it was a drunk party slamming the doors.

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.

Back in the days of Spectravision, I turned on one of the porn channels and left it on full blast for the people next door.

I would like to nominate Dean Aviation in KTMB for training all of their students to say, "Any traffic please advise" on CTAF with every communication.
AIM 4-1-9 "Pilots stating, “Traffic in the area, please advise” is not a recognized Self-Announce Position and/or Intention phrase and should not be used under any condition."
And if anyone would like to nominate me for quoting the AIM go ahead I accept but you really have no idea how frustrating this is at a really busy uncontrolled airport.

Setting the bed side alarm clock to go off 5 minutes after I leave the room for a "Oh GOD early" van has always been a personal favorite.....especially when the band of merry drunks/party goers reside just next door. Finding the most ridiculous Techno/Dance/House/Break-Beats station (Tejano Hair Metal, a close second), and turning the preset volume up all the way as to let the magic happen when the clock strikes "go-time".

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
