I just read an article on my metropolitan city's web site that has me totally tweaked! A haunted house was shut down by 7pm tonight because the neighbors thought it was too noisy and complained. I had to read this short article twice to make sure I wasn't nodding off at my computer again. Let me say again: a haunted house was shut down for being too noisy.
I can-not believe it!
So, what's next? We're going to turn away babies from all restaurants because they're too noisy? How about these same neighbors and their graduation parties? We get to tell them "Oh, sorry, you can't have a graduation party because you're disturbing my peace and quiet?" Good grief, if you really need it THAT quiet, consider buying a pair of earplugs. If this person acts as a good neighbor throughout the rest of the year, and we do realize that Halloween is not a quiet day (or night), why not let him have a little fun and celebrate?! Is it really that hard for these people to return the good neighborly feelings he's generously bestowed upon them for all this time?
Maybe it's true – you can dot all the "i"s and cross all the "t"s and still not get anywhere. I'm not completely sure, maybe there IS a way I haven't thought of. I better ask my neighbors. :)
