1. I think you should go out there
and hit him over the head with that empty whiskey bottle that's laying on the floor next to your bed.

4. Right now I'm wishing my dogs weren't so damn nice
It would be a perfect time for an "Unleash the hounds" moment.

9. It works better if you hurl it at them.
Experience. I know from it.

2. Hmm
We don't have lawns here but I do have neighbors who like to blast the radios in the car sometimes at this early hour (while they sit and wait for somebody). Simple courtesy seems to be a thing of the past sometimes.....:hug:

3. Mine were playing their bass guitar about 11:00 last night
and at 7:00 this morning. I have a squeaky fan in my bedroom that serves as a free white noise machine to drown them out but unfortunately it sometimes isn't loud enough.

Maybe you need to use one at 7:00 and act shocked when they complain.

5. Well there's more than two houses on my street
And I'd rather not have the rest of the neighborhood pissed off at me

7. I can understand that
I'd like to turn up my radio or TV when they're loud so I can hear what I'm listening to/watching without the bass in the background but I'm in the middle of a block of 6 units and I don't want to aggravate the people on the other side of me.

6. I feel for ya, dude.
On Saturday, my next-door neighbor had his lawn service get started at just after 8:00 a.m. A 48-inch walk-behind mower and two weed whips were going at full throttle.

And when the guys had to talk to each other, they would just yell over the machinery noise. :grr:

I think I need to get Barney the dinosaur over here to try and teach these buffoons some manners!

8. Pull your curtains back, like I do,
(do not brush hair or even slick it back, keep the bed head)
sneer at them and give them the evil eye.

That's what I do to my neighbors. They now wait until 10:00 a.m. to torture me. That gives me a little more time anyhow.
