Funny tangential anecdote time. I live next to the most annoying neighbor in the world, and it's gotten worse since I started working from home during the pandemic. The motherfucker is ALWAYS outside making noise. Dunno if he's retired or what (he must be) but from 8 a.m. until the evening, there's always goddamn noise coming from his house. Either a table saw, or a lawn mower, or his bigass stupid diesel truck, or a leaf blower, or a chainsaw. Like, the dude is literally doing some sort of fucking home improvement shit every single day. I don't understand how someone can even find that number of things to do on a daily basis. It's impossible to even open the windows in our house without being bombarded with some loud-ass mechanical equipment at any hour of the day. In the summertime he cuts his grass TWICE A WEEK. And he fucking does the front and back yard on DIFFERENT DAYS, Which means FOUR FUCKING DAYS PER WEEK of cutting his grass. And the best part is that he waits to do it until literal dusk, meaning in July/August, he's out there with the lawnmower at, like, 9 p.m. Which is already fucking annoying in and of itself, but especially annoying since our son's bedroom window is facing his yard and our son goes to bed before that. And the shitty thing is that he's technically not doing anything "wrong", like he's well within his rights to do whatever he wants and he's not actually breaking any noise ordinances or anything, but it's just fucking annoying. All. The. Fucking. Time. NOISE.
Anyway, after dealing with this shit for over a year, my wife and I finally had it and took the path of high pettiness. I put my bluetooth speaker on our patio, hidden behind the grill, and blasted PARACLETUS on full volume while he and his wife were outside grilling one evening. Total shit thing of me to do but i don't give a fuck. It felt great. I fucking hate that guy.
