First of all, I apologize for the lack of posting. You can probably see why I was so hesitant about making a blog, it’s super hard to commit to it and post frequently, for me at least. Well, anyway, let’s get to the topic at hand… noise.
Oh man, I absolutely can’t stand it when people decide to be annoyingly loud. Instead of trying to enjoy things in a quiet and peaceful way, they get in the way of everyone else by making as much noise as possible, like say, coughing really loud in the morning. I never got how they’re so unaware of it too, it’s like they get so lost in their crap that they forget that they’re not the only ones around. Whenever I take the bus, there’s always this one idiot who has a portable wireless speaker on full blast, effectively forcing me into listening to their shitty music. And by shitty, I mean modern Latin pop… ugh. Music that appeals to the lowest common denominator.
Speaking of public transport though, there’s another type of crowd that annoys me: street artists. Basically people who get on the train or bus while carrying a massive speaker, usually singing and rapping about some nonsense, sometimes trying to get the people around involved… like, get the fuck away from me dammit. I understand that they’re only trying to earn a bit of cash while times are tough, but like, does it have to be in such an intrusive way? My main goal while taking public transport is to get around the city, not to listen to some loser rapping about how the pandemic was made up by the government.
Then there’s the people around my neighborhood… firstly, there’s a bunch of total dumbasses who party every Saturday, laughing their asses off while listening to loud music. To me, they’re likely to be 30-something year olds who peaked in high school, given the musical choices. More often than not, they stay up until 3 in the morning while not letting me sleep, and for some weird ass reason that I can’t wrap my head around, they sing “happy birthday” every time they party. There’s absolutely no way all of them have birthdays every Saturday… it’s so fucking stupid.
Finally, my neighbor next door. He’s been drilling and hammering for the last week or so, and I have no idea what the fuck he’s trying to do. Surely whatever he needs to do doesn’t require that much work, I bet he’s only doing it to annoy others. It’s super fucking annoying when I’m trying to work and I’m vibing to some music or trying to focus, only for this doofus to start using his goddamn drill for who knows what.
And these very same people then complain when you start to make noise. They’re massive hypocrites who think they can get away with doing something, but do the same to them, and they’ll be upset. You can’t expect people to not give you in return what you gave them and then say it’s unfair. Things like these make me hate parties and people who have no regards for others around them. If you are like this, you suck and I want nothing to do with you.
I know it might seem selfish to want a quieter environment and wanting everyone to be silent, but so are you for forcing your awful noise on others. Nobody wants to listen to your crappy music where you can barely tell what the artist is trying to say.
…alright, I know I sounded more than a little pissed this time. But I just needed to get that out of my system. Anyway, see you all in the next post.
