Default Wind Chimes--respectful neighbors

at 11:30 at night it is easier to do what has to be done
than to ask permission

and i certainly agree that whatever gives you pleasure in your
space is fine with me

when it intrudes into my space you have lost control of your pleasure
and intruded on mine

not everyone like vanilla ice cream or the scent of channel # 5

so if you like that, fine

but why should i have to like it too, especially if i have an allergic
reaction to it and will be in great discomfort if forced to taste,
hear, or smell it?

Wind chims in gardens are horrifying. They are noisy & annoying & disturb
the natural sounds a garden can engender with birds & crickets & rainfall
& rustling leaves & water features.

When some loon collects ten to sixty rackety hanging bits of ugly-ass
chimes to dangle all around the edges of their home, they make themselves
a nuisance to their neighborhood. Such collectors should be shot dead by
their own drug-dealing teenagers during a drive-by, the corpse buried
under dismantled windchimes & left to decay right there on the

broken-down
porch of the chimester's trailer house.

damnation.............i thought i was the only one that got annoyed at
the things banging and clanking all day and night! especially the
clay one that clank

one time, on a beautiful snowy night with a light breeze, silent
night, holy nights, i got so ****ed off at a pile of junk shattering
the tranquility, that i jumped over the neighbors fence and
cut all the wires on all the pieces of the chime and piled them up at
their sliding deck door, they must have gotten the message, peace
reigned


And I guess if their dog was barking, you'd jump the fence and do him in as
well. Did you ever consider telling them it was annoying and ask them to
take it down before you trespassed and destroyed private property? And why
do you think your desire/right for peace and quiet supercedes theirs for
what they obviously considered an appealling ornament hanging on THEIR
property? If you pulled that stunt with me, I'd promptly go out and buy a
dozen of the biggest, loudest freaking windchimes I could find and hang them
from every corner and then set up fans to blow them around just in case
there wasn't enough wind. And I don't even care about the things one way or
the other, but I'd sure as hell be ****ed if YOU decided to do something
about 'em without even the simple courtesy of asking first.
