In my neighborhood the houses are built very close together. I can hear conversations of people on the sidewalk in front of my house. This is eye opening because I wonder if they can hear me within my own house.
I woke up at 3AM this morning to the sounds of a car alarm going off. I immediately thought I was back in college where I was woken up to sounds of car alarms. In college it was a red Grand Prix. Nebraska tags. The car alarm then went off at the drop of a hat. A slight breeze would set it off.
Last night the car alarm went on and on for what seemed like forever. Enough time for me to ponder going outside pounding on the neighbor’s door to alert them to the obvious. Finally after about 15 minutes someone came out and turned of the alarm.
I never had much problems with my neighbors. But I do wonder. What set off the alarm? Why did it take so long to turn it off? And…are people really that inconsiderate?
