True, so true.
I don’t know whether to say, “Good one!” or offer my condolences. . .
I guess I would be one of those people making “noise” then b/c I love my windchimes…
Kate P — When it’s 2 a.m and you can’t sleep because it’s 10 feet from your bedroom window, condolences are good, I suppose. 😉
Dog: a domesticated mammal generally thought of as man’s best friend and a potential protector of the household.
Insane, Accursed Hell-Beast: your neighbor’s dog that is STILL barking at 1 am when you finally decamp to the guest room on the other side of the house.
****
Security Light: an exterior light that prevents criminals from approaching your house
Incredibly Rude Annoyance That Is Probably Unnecessary in a Town as Small As This: your neighbor’s security light that is shining in your bedroom windows all night long.
(I am going to purchase room-darkening blinds after work TODAY. I don’t know what to do about the slavering hell-beast, however.)
Hahaha! My husband HATE windchimes with a white hot hate. This must be the reason…childhood trauma over a neighbor’s “noise”.
Ricki…as a dog owner, I find it apalling that your neighbors let the “Insane accursed hell-beast” bark all night. My dogs have a doggie door, which equals unfettered access to all outside portals in the night, and one tiny little peep from them outside has me up and calling them in at the speed of sound.
ricki — We use a white noise device. It blocks out barking dogs better than tinkly windchimes, for some insane reason. I’d recommend a nice respectful — perhaps anonymous, that’s up to you — note and then THE DEVICE.
Oh, I HAVE a device. These damn dogs are able to bark OVER the device.
My neighbors know. I just think that they figure when they go out of town for a night, they’re entitled to leave their dogs outside to bark. (I suppose I’d feel the same way, if the choice was “disturb neighbors vs. return to kitchen floor covered in dog poo and pee”)
