My next door neighbours apparently decided to have a party last night which they managed to drag out until after four in the morning _(probably later than that but I finally managed to fall asleep when the noise-level fell below a certain threshold)_. It seemed to consist of teenagers, the parents were probably away for the night, and I’m sure we all can agree that teenagers are a very special kind of annoying. I can’t complain to much because as irritating as it is, its also extremely rare, I think its the first party they’ve had this year. Well, not that annoying except for one half-wit who’s entire contribution to the evenings gathering seemed to be to start loudly shouting at irregular intervals during the evening/morning various combinations of the phrase, “Hey Craig! Yyyeeeooohhhh!!!”. “Craig…hey Craig…Craig…Craig!!! YYyyyeeeoooohhhh!!! Craig, HEY CRAIG! CRAIG! YEEEEOOOOHHHHH!!!..Craig! CRAIG! Yyyyyeeooohhhhh!!!” _repeat multiple times in different combinations_ _fifteen minute break_ “Yeeeoooohhhh! Craig! Craig, Hey Craig, Craig! Yeeeoooohhhhh!!! CRAIG! YEEEOOOOHHHHH!!!” _as above_ _ten minute break_ “Hey Craig, HEY CRAIG!!! Craig! CRAIG! HEY CRAIG! YYYYYYEEEEOOOHHHH!!!..Hey Craig, YEEEOOOHHHHH!!! CRAIG!!! _CRAIG!!!_ YEEEEOOOOHHHHH!!!” _as above_ The above is irritating enough to type, never mind read, now repeat that every so often for four hours when you’re desperate for sleep because you’re working in the morning… Still, could have been worse, I had visions of poor Craig finally getting home and drifting of to sleep at about six in the morning only to be woken by a text message: “HEY CRAIG! YEEEEOOOOHHHHH!!!” ---

Good luck on that if you are in a college town. Probably won’t be the last party of the year. ---

Of THIS FAMILY finally getting home and drifting off to sleep at about six in the morning only to be woken by a scream from _their_ next door neighbor, yellling “Hey Craig, HEY CRAIG!!! Craig! CRAIG! HEY CRAIG! YYYYYYEEEEOOOHHHH!!!..Hey Craig, YEEEOOOHHHHH!!! CRAIG!!! _CRAIG!!!_ YEEEEOOOOHHHHH!!!” Of course, they don’t know who Craig is, either, but revenge is best served cold and all. ---

> [@Disposable Hero](#): > > I can’t complain to much because as irritating as it is, its also extremely rare, I think its the first party they’ve had this year. My limit is 2:00 AM. If I can still hear them when I’m trying to sleep and my doors/windows are closed at that hour then I call in a noise complaint. I’m a little more lax on weekends, but on a weeknight if I have an early meeting I will sometimes get pissed off enough at 1:00 AM to call. In my neighborhood it’s the same 2-3 apartments and the cops know them pretty well, but it’s a ever-changing line up of college kids so what are you gonna do? ---

My colleagues said I should have decided to mow my lawn at about half seven, but I like your idea better. 😃 > [@Telemark](#): > > My limit is 2:00 AM.

Agreed, if it happens again I’ll make a complaint, if “Hey Craig!” guy is there or not. I was concerned as well because my car was sitting in my yard _(I usually garage it)_ but thankfully none of them had any bright ideas. That actually reminds me of the time a couple of years ago when I arrived home in the early hours of the morning and unbeknownst to me a fight was kicking off at a different house closeby _(my neighbourhood is fine, these sorts of incidents are rare)_. One of the combatants took offence at the sheer nerve of my walking towards the front door of my house and glancing in his direction to see what the commotion was. He started shouting threats and abuse at me while tearing off his shirt and attempting to reach me while being held back by his equally intoxicated friends, “No Jack, don’t! He’s not worth it!!!”. Uh huh… I can handle myself but that’s the sort of shit you really don’t need, and if you Darwin-awarded him or his ilk _you’d_ be the one in big trouble. I swear there is a breeding sub-population of these imbeciles… :rolleyes:
