Yesterday was supposed to be 69 and sunny but didn't make it above 60 and cloudy until the last rays on sunlight when it set finally clearing a little bit. But I sat outside on my porch in defiance. Even if I had to don a heavy jacket to do so comfortably. Being outside with the great accoustics here (circular building bounding sounds back n forth over n over) little sounds like people talking in normal voices are easily discernable far away. And neighbors' boombox two doors down even more so.
Was some country music about Jesus every song. Not surprising as the guy runs or ran a home church there for a while. So he's going back n forth from his place to the laundry room, music blaringly loud and thoughts of wishing I had a gun to blow my brains out playing through my head. But what was the last straw was when some kids came by to play with his and their usual banter back n forth came around to his telling them about an incident a few days ago involving one of the kids he doesn't like spitting inhis son's mouth during some kind of dare to do so, his son backing out, the other girl apparently didn't. So he relates the incident then says "...she doesn't have any respect...Everything should be "yes sir/ma'am."
That'd be fine if not for the 'noise pollution' I a good neighbor silently endured figuring his wife and their newborn were out and this was just him blasting some tunes while he could. But doing so coupled with it being religious music then saying you deserve respect and object to a little girl all of maybe 7 or 8 not giving it to you had me pulling my hair out (in my head) lest I stomp over there and dress him down for it.
Respect is earned folks. You don't get it "just because." And blasting your stereo so people a hundred yards away can hear it well enough to be annoyed to say nothing of people two doors down then whining about a little kid not giving you the respect you think you rate is one of those things neighbors store up in their heads to smack you upside the head with down the road.
I don't like to make trouble over stuff like this, so am venting here
