Reply #77: oddly enough, the worst offender in my neighborhood is a pentecostal church . . . .

it's two doors down from our house, and has no parking lot of its own. Churchgoers -- who show up 5 nights a week for either church or choir practice -- all truck down here in their huge SUVs and mini-vans, squeeze into literally every parking space available in a 2 block perimeter (any friend who visits has a hike ahead of them to get here), sometimes blocking our driveway in the process. They stay at the church for 2-3 hours at a time, all the doors and windows in the place wide open, microphones cranked way up, and sing these insipid contemporary christian songs. And none of them are in key -- their loudest soprano is reliably and screechingly sharp. Then they all pile out of the church, walk back to their respective cars (spread over a number of blocks), and SHOUT all their goodbyes and parting conversations to one another -- usually around 10:00 at night.

These folks are probably the most annoying, rude and inconsiderate "neighbors" I've ever had . . . .

Just had to vent a little!
