As I mentioned in my previous post, I called the cops last night on our annoying neighbors. In our complex the backyard/patio areas are very close to one another. If you stand in your backyard and speak in a regular voice, it can be heard with the windows closed in a neighboring unit.
What happens is people aren’t courteous and don’t even bother to think about how their actions might be affecting those around them. I’ve been documenting their behavior for about a month now and this is the fourth time they’ve been outside past 11 pm making a bunch of noise. And I’m not talking about a few minutes here and there, but HOURS of them congregating when other people are trying to sleep. When you’re lying in bed trying to sleep you can withstand the random conversation or accidental noise, but the continuous talking and disruption is unbearable.
Last night I was fed up and called the cops. About 15 mins later they’d gone inside (11:30 pm), and by the time the cops came it was an hour after I called (12:15 am). Hopefully now they realize that they annoyed a neighbor enough to have them call the cops.
