Privacy

I have mentioned to some of you that the house next door is very close to ours. In fact their kitchen is 10 ft. from my bedroom window, their deck is closer than that.

Even if I keep my window closed, I can hear everything that goes on out there. Last night it was like, listening to a porn movie with no picture. I don't need to hear that, in fact I don't think anyone needs to hear that. My window was open, I know they could hear my tv I turned it up when they got loud. They just got louder.

I got woke up early this morning by laughing and loud talking. By loud talking I mean she was sitting on her deck yelling at her kids out front. This drives me nuts on Fri. & Sat. nights I have to shut my window because they are out there all night and it disturbs Miss Scarlett. She can hear them but she doesn't know where they are so it freaks her.

I understand she has every right to use her deck. But don't I have the right to not have to hear everything that goes on? They don't even try and be quiet out there. You can hear them pretty much all around the circle we live on. It's just that I get the clearest sound.

I don't know her, how do I say 'Hey, I can hear everything you do on your deck.'

Okay rant over for the day. ;)

Wish I could give you some words of wisdom but I know in this case.
We had a strange neighbor that would purposely bang her trashcans
closed over and over because she knew I slept in that room and it bothered me. If I got up to look out the window she would wave at me. Like, Look at me, I am bothering you aren't I funny.. she was crazy. We had to put up with her till she moved. When we did confront them one time they said we were mistaken and that she never did that. Too bad that was before video camera's were invented.

Yeah, I guess I should borrow Joe's tiny recorder and let her hear how it sounds. ;)

Say it just like you did here. It might help but be prepared to be told to buy ear plugs.

I hope it stops soon.

Some places have noise ordinances. Here in Orlando, in a neighborhood, you have to keep quiet after 11.

I have never understood why some people have to be so rude and uncaring. All I keep thinking is, Karma, baby...Watch out for Karma.
