Doorbell installed in your car
When I moved into my housing area, I noticed that none of the units had doorbells installed. So, I did what any smart individual would do: I went to home depot and bought one. Some work with a drill later, and I had a wireless doorbell system. Very simple. Very useful.
Now, my car was made in 1999, so there may be newer features in todays cars. One that has apparently been added is the doorbell in the car. For some reason, people here, rather than get out of the car and walk teh 10 feet to the door, just roll up and honk the horn. I could see if this was a NYC street and there was nowhere to park and the person lived on the third floor of an apartment building.
Hell, doesn’t everyone have a cell phone? I mean, what’s wrong with a quick call to say “I’m outside.” Are your minutes that precious?
This is compounded by the fact that I work nights, or as I put it, I keep vampire hours. If I wasn’t black, I would be pale by now. On top of that, I’m trying to sleep during the day, only to be awakened by a random honk. I almost want to start shooting out of the window. That would be my way of saying, “It’s the next window over.”
Black 6, out.

Hi, That is just down right rude. It seems people have forgotten about the word call manners. Trust me when I was “living” at the hotel it was beyond horrible listening to the people stamping their feet at 2:00 a.m. Maybe pass out a flyer to your neighbors about consideration of others??? Right now besides the birds that is the only noise I hear. I have to step outside to hear the ocean. The house in front of us the people works at night. So we try to be considerate of this and try not to make too much noise during the day. But I still have to have my fan on to help me sleep. There are those fancy noise cover thingings that will even make the sound of the ocean waves. But I have found a small desk type fan helps me so much. Maybe give this a try. Sweet dreams, Sharon
“If I wasn’t black, I would be pale by now” lol!!
As usual, you are funny, but get your point across. I guess I should think of you if I think of honking my horn. I usually use my cell and call, but once in a while I do honk. Thanks for making me realize it is rude….
