We have a good friend over. We haven’t seen him in years. We talk, we laugh.
Okay, okay: I laugh.
BOOM. The neighbors slam their window shut.
In college, I had a friend who would say ridiculous things to crack me up, just so he could shush me (and make me laugh harder).
My laugh? It’s loud. Fact.
Not everyone is cut out to be my friend.
Still, what if all our neighbors want is some sleep? It is, after all, 10PM on Saturday night. Isn’t banging the window shut adding to the problem? Can’t they close the window without slamming it?
To be fair, maybe they can’t. I’m not sure we can.
I’m worried about passive aggressive neighbors, when we all just need to clean our window tracks.
