10 ways the neighbours frustrate me

1. right now (10:30 at night) they are playing piano. actually, they aren't playing, but rather the kids are banging on it.

2. their dog smells. and sheds. his hair is always all over the laundry room....yuck. (and I like dogs!)

3. they cook yukky smelling food. everything smells like onions and hotdogs...

4. their kids are up so late. usually it isn't quiet before 11 pm - even on school nights.

5. they smoke. mostly outside, but still...

6. see #5...add in that it's not just cigarettes. and it's while the kids are up and home. which leads me to:

7. I just don't get how they can raise kids like that. not to sound like I'm passing judgement, but it's really hard not to when we hear the hours they keep (dinner around 9 and bed close to midnight for a 3 and 7 year old)

8. they take our stuff. a laundry basket. and they keep taking our paper recycling bag.

9. they fill both garbage bins...so where are we supposed to put our garbage??

10. noise. they are loud. all the time.

*sigh* I can't wait to have our own place...where it's only us making the noise.
