Noise pollution
Sunday, August 31st, 2003 (5 years, 2 months ago)
I have a feeling I’m just more annoyed by loud animals (young children included), but recently it’s bothering me a whole lot more. I’m constantly being woken up by my neighbor’s dog. And today, I was trying to finish up on some work for a client and ran into a stupid problem. That dog starts barking non-stop while I’m trying to concentrate. It’s beyond just small annoyances: I’m losing time and money because they can’t keep their dog quiet. I’ve never had a dog, but I don’t think a dog that barks for 4 or 5 hours a day is normal (and I can only account for the hours that I spend in my room…)
A week ago, I’m having lunch at the Chinese restaurant I’ve been going to since I was a young’n (learn more about my loyalty to this place) and these little kids come in, making all sorts of noise. I was ready to go say something to their parents when my dad tells me that we should just eat quickly and get out of there. My response: “When ants come and take over your house, you don’t pack up and move…”
Everyone probably thinks I’m heartless now, but think of something that really irritates you. And imagine that happening day after day, causing you to lose sleep, lose time, lose money and it even takes over your meal time. It’s beyond just small annoyances.
