Neighbors
I just don't get some things.
I'm not known as the politest person around but
even I'm not so stupid and rude. Well, I have told people to shut-up at the
movies which is really stupid these days.
We're renting a house until we can buy one.
Once things calm down a little we'll start looking around. We're in a new area
and I just assumed things would be quiet but I guess I'm spoiled. The area we
lived in prior to moving here was filled with a much older population and things
were generally very quiet.
Not here,
however. We live in a duplex and fortunately the people who live in the other
half are about as quiet as one could expect since they have kids. I'm not
beefin' about the kids since running, jumping, and other noises like that are
just something to deal with.
I'm
talking about people standing on the porch at 2am talking when our bedroom
window is almost right above them. Uh. Clue. I had to ask them to keep their
voices down and they didn't even know they were being
loud.
I'm talking about the kids next
door who have the occasional party and don't bother to ask the people they have
over to be quiet when they are outside after midnight. About a month ago I went
out when a couple of idiots were having a "normal" conversation in
our
driveway around 2am. They also didn't know they were being
loud.
I remember one woman who was
yelling down the street very early in the
morning.
I don't get it. I realize I'm
pretty boring and I don't have parties anymore and I don't have people over at
all hours of the night. But is it so hard for people simply to use some common
sense and consider their neighbors late at
night?
*sheesh*
