We have a few couples who are odd ducks, a few who party frequently, and their friends (who have imbibed too much) try to drive home, crashing into another neighbor's street-parked car... We do have a few nice couples...

We all like peace and quiet, and good music (as opposed to screeching), and most of us aren't keen on barbecues! I do sympathise with you on the noise pollution, having put up with it for 15 years next door. Hopefully it was just a one-off celebration party with your neighbours.<br />I giggled over Marcheline's comment - her neighbour sounds like our next door family. Just last week two of them were having a row with all the F words at top volume. 2 am, mind you.Gina E.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07532527261977368083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23379328.post-7510956252195244052010-06-13T15:35:45.460+01:002010-06-13T15:35:45.460+01:00We have "The pterodactyl neighbors".

The corner of their backyard touches the corner of ours.<br /><br />Pterodactyl woman regularly comes out of her house to shriek at her kids, her husband, or whatever unfortunate person she has on the phone.<br /><br />My favorite Pterodactyl moment?<br /><br />"SHUT THE F#*K UP! YOU ARE SO GADAM NEGATIVE!"<br /><br />And this, on a beautiful Sunday morning, while Bear and I sat out on our patio enjoying our coffee and listening to the Sunday Baroque radio program.<br /><br />Further - I must admit, it never occurred to me that a vegetarian would consider the smell of a barbecue as invasive as non-smokers consider the smell of cigarette smoke. But it makes perfect sense.Marchelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11201825708442679157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23379328.post-73512695779734968022010-06-13T13:21:20.534+01:002010-06-13T13:21:20.534+01:00This was funny.

Heh. Most of their guests left, very quickly. The ones that didn't leave retreated indoors.
