My neighbor across the street has a teen who probably got their first old Honda Civic recently with the front bumper missing and sits outside the house revving it randomly while listening to bassy rap thundering through the house walls for hours every evening lately. Opens the car door occasionally to hack out a lung since he’s hot-boxing weed. Figured I could join in the fun, but maybe that’s too mean.
Convince me not to!
Not defending the kid, but maybe he has utter shit parents/family and is escaping the house, but can’t afford to drive away all the time. He’s rude, clearly, but give it a while and then just leave a note on his car window that says something like, “cool music bro, and thanks for sharing with the whole neighborhood, but can you drop the volume down to a 3 or wear headphones? thnx”.
Despite joking around that’s possible yeah. I hope not, his mom seemed nice when I spoke to her, but then again the cops showed up when her ex was moving out last summer after a lot of yelling and a smashed front door window. If I do a note I’ll try not to be passive aggressive about it.
If you’re feeling really generous, you could give him some headphones
