Idiot neighbors behind us

November 11th, 2008

I’ve had a headache ALL day. I had the day off; so did Sofie’s daycare provider. Sofie’s energy level was in overdrive today. REALLY challenging when my head felt ready to explode all day. To make matters worse, the idiot neighbors who live behind me decided to have the carpets in their house cleaned. ALL DAY LONG. The carpet cleaning van was parked directly behind my fence, groaning for 8 hours. (I live in a small townhouse with a small fenced-in patio in back.)

I REALLY dislike the Idiot Neighbors Behind Us. (That’s what I call them.) A dad, mom and three kids ranging from about ages 5 to 15. They have a large house which they supposedly built with inheritance money as well as insurance money after the Painted Cave fire years ago. It’s unclear to me either parent has a real and permanent job.

One former neighbor summed it up well when he stated that the idiot neighbors really should be living somewhere where they’d have lots of land, as they are absolutely clueless when it comes to the amount of noise they generate. LOTS of noise. Like, leaving the leaf/wood mulcher running for hours on end as they work in the yard, rather than just turning it on when they actually feed the mulcher. Idiot Dad behind us LOVES his power tools waaaay too much. And his voice is ridiculously loud. Like, if he’s on his cell phone outside, I can hear his entire side of the conversation. And they all shout at each other to converse if they are not all in the same room (let alone all inside the house), leaving all of their windows and doors wide open. And the kids are allowed to scream and wail at full lung capacity when playing outside.

Years ago, I actually would go over and complain. I’d also leave flyers about noise pollution. Nothing ever sunk in.

I SO hate them.

ugh. My headache, which finally dulled a couple of hours ago, is threatening to come back. No doubt provoked by thinking about the Idiot Neighbors.

blech.

NaBloPoMo Day 11, over and out.
