God help me... the new neighbors just dragged the stereo speakers out onto the porch...

[magical thyme]

22. yeah, I had neighbors that started with blasting music from 9am until 11pm every day

So loud that even with all my storm windows and regular windows closed I could hear it in the shower. And their front door was ~600 feet from mine.

All fucking day; every day. No point in "talking" to asshats like that; if they haven't learned by now that other people may not share their taste in music...or may even share it, but not for 14 hours day so loud that the only escape is to leave town...they're beyond redemption.

So I put my bigger stereo out in the driveway, aimed it toward them and blasted them with Jessye Norman belting out Wagner.

And put my little portable battery stereo on a chair at the edge of my property, also aimed toward them, and blasted them with Kathleen Battle and Wynton Marsalis belting out Bach.

Simultaneously

What a freakin' racket. I left it playing from 8pm until 11pm.

They *never* blasted us with their shit again.
