lightning flashes
July 19th, 2006 | by the insider |We had a ridiculous summer storm last night, filled with lightning and gushing rain… for five hours.
My bedroom has a drainpipe right outside the window. Grrr…. hence the reason I know it started aroun 10ish and continued until past 3AM. Damn rain.
To make matters even more fun, my crazy ass neighbors (who, according to my landlord who knows their landlord, never pay rent and are delinquents) decided to spend the entire time on their porch, drinking and (probably doing acid) cheering every time lightning snaked across the sky.
At about 2AM, just as I decided that not a jury in the damn world would convict me, I heard our other neighbor start yelling.
(Bear in mind, this is a really nice, quiet little neighborhood with lots of retirees and only that one apartment filled with annoyances.)
“If you don’t take your loud, foul-mouthed (seriously who says that) selves inside that door I’m going to call the police and have you evicted from this property. This is a nice family neighborhood and I won’t have any young hooligans turning it into some downtown bar.”
Surprisingly, I think the hooligans went inside. I didn’t hear any gunshots and my neighbor is a rather large construction-worker type, so my guess is they made a hasty retreat.
It’s like watching Law and Order from my living room window, lol.

We have neighbors who will do donuts in their driveway, on their four-wheelers at midnight. And have loud parties un till the wee hours-Complete with raging bonfire. Not that I am prticularly opposed, but maybe not in the middle of the week….??

And of course, there is a mysterious, anonymous neighbor *coughcough* who calls the police on them.

If you think that drinking and doing acid at three in the morning is bad, then you’re so lucky that I wasn’t your neighbor for, say, the entire 1990s.
I would’ve been grilling steaks, too.
