OHHH Pet Peeve Time (74)
felixis99: right now mine is noisy & inconsiderate neighbors...these people are such azzh@les...make life hell for the rest of us ...I hope they all get tax audits (if they are legally paying taxes that is)
so I know pet peeves have been discussed before, but heck we all need to vent sometimes..what are yours?

Nah, just kidding.

Have you tried talking to them about it? I know sometimes it's a very difficult matter to deal with depending on whether they are approachable or not.

here's another...it's after 11 pm here and young children are still running around outside making noise....even w/out the noise, one has to ask WHERE ARE THEIR PARENTS??? It's well after dark! These kids belong in bed. 
I know I must sound awful but TBH I have never seen such inconsiderate people before so I am kinda in shock

no I have not tried. it's a large group and they are strangers. I do not feel comfortable approaching a large group, mostly men and foreigners. I was going to...I went out there thinking I'd just ask them if they cared that they were disturbing others but the group was large and it looked like they may have been drinking also...so it did not seem a safe choice.

I'm wondering if school is out for the summer or if it's just because it's the weekend, warm outside and the kids are happy? I know it gets pretty noisy outside where I live sometimes into the wee hours during the summer holidays but the little ones are usually called in when it gets dark outside. But you're right to question why the parents don't seem to care.

That's a tricky one and I'd also be inclined not to approach them if they've been drinking. Are there not noise laws that can be enforced if it continues past a certain hour at night?

2intrigued: Poor Scott Damn them eh? Well, there's this kid in the townhouse complex right in front of my place and he's got the loudest gas powered pocket motorbike and an array of miscellaneous motorized gizmos that he rides around on quite a bit but the local police caught him riding one of them through the walking trails behind my building and it's not as bad now.
yes it's amazing how helpful a ticketing can be

actually as far as noise ordinance time of day is not always a factor. There is a distance from which noise cannot be heard coming from a dwelling (in city zoning). But really 2, I am not trying to get anyone in trouble. My concern is that they are so inconsiderate. That they are breaking the law is important of course, but really it is the lack of consideration...I mean we should not even need laws for stuff like this...
yes as far as approaching, law enforcement generally recommends that people not do that as a precaution

There's no doubt in my mind that he'll be back at it again.

Arggghhhh...know what? go take a leak on his lawn in the middle of the night for about a week...he'll be too busy patching up the yellow grass to bother with mowing.

The mind conjures these things up and sometimes I dare write about it but doing such a thing would take balls.

happy kids talking is not going to bother any one...it's just the time of night
yes they do seem all happy kicking soccer balls around (football for the euros)and riding bikes :)
