Anyone have neighbors like these?
My neighbors are generally pretty cool and I don’t mind having them most of the time. But there’s this family next door… the dad is a biker. Not the scary, leather-clad, overgrown beard kind. But he’s still a big, burly Harley rider. Sometimes he starts that thing up and scares the shit outta me! It is LOUD. Luckily he’s a family man with a day job so he’s never woken me up with the noise. But still. I startle easily.
The bike isn’t what annoys me. I’m positive he rides around on his hog without any ear protection. He’s a manly man, and apparently they don’t need no steenking earplugs. As a result the man is half deaf. I can tell because anytime he speaks IT’S ALWAYS AT TOP VOLUME! HE’S ALWAYS SHOUTING! “COME ON KIDS WE’RE GOING NOW!” “HONEY DID THE MAILMAN GET HERE YET?!” Always. Shouting. He’s not angry (he’s actually very easygoing). He’s just loud like his bike. I can hear every single word he says even when I’m on the opposite side of my house.
And it’s not just him. His biker friends are the exact same way. Every so often they’ll gather at his house to watch The Game and I swear that television couldn’t be cranked up any higher. They laugh and it sounds like they’re all holding megaphones to amplify their voices. Then later in the evening they’re all a bunch of drunk monkeys and just being obnoxious. They just can’t shut up. You know at the zoo (or maybe on Survivor: Guatemala you might have seen them) those howler monkeys that are just constantly hooting and calling at the top of their lungs all day long? It’s that annoying.
Thank god this only happens like once or twice a month. Otherwise I just might have to.... do something. *look of pure evil*
