It is the same here. Some moron some time ago sold his house across the street, and the city made that side of the street buisness/residential dual zoned. Now a guy who nobody knows and his partner a M.D. with an attitude own the building/house and rent out different rooms as offices. Their landscapers come by at 7 a.m. and light up the weed wackers, and the leaf blowers. They were told to be done before 8a.m. when all of the office professionals come in. I work swing shift until midnight. I get to sleep around 1 a.m. So when some idiot lights up his loud landscaping equipment at 7 a.m., to blow leaves across the street into everyone elses yard, I get kinda pissed! I went over there and attempted to talk to the landscapers, however they did not understand English very well. So I attempted to contact the owner with no response.
I figure I might invest in a cheap old leaf blower, with no muffler and go over to her house early in the morning or maybe when I get off work, and blow some leaves for free into her lawn, maybe then she'll get the idea!
I also have a friend who was driving and needed to make a left turn into a parking lot. Traffic was stopped both ways, and the guy in the on comming lane waves her to turn, she does and gets nailed by the guy in the next lane. Her fault. People are lemmings some times. Sorta like drivers on a two lane highway. If the driver in the slow lane slows down,and the driver in the fast lane is in lala land or on his cell phone, he won't pass and pull over to let traffic behind get by at posted speeds, he'll just shadow the car in the slow lane and talk away on the phone. This happens everyday to me on the way to work. Inevitably, once the road opens up to three lanes 12 of us are reaching road rage levels, as we pass supper fast, and act like idiots ourselves. Usually the driver is oblivious and speeds up, making everyone more pissed off!
As my friend Mike says "what are you gonna do?"
