Something about my Seinfield-like irritability

It's universally known that I am a easily irritable person, but I always wonder if it's really just me or that people are being incosiderate all around.

So yesterday morning I woke up to this tractor sound and hammering, and I was thinking wtf?! it turned out that my neighbor was having work done in his backyard, and then the pounding just started from 6-whenever i left the house (around 1030). I was in such a bad mood cuz i got NO sleep because i had a terrible allergy and cough, and i was woken up by this unpleasant noise. apparently they were having some kind of construction going on without having the decency to tell us. and my window is right next to his drive way so everytime the tractor comes up the drive way i can hear it loud and clear. I went to school feelign like a zombie.

And this is not the first time, either. This interracial couple has pissed me off for years. REasons: their two boys. They are exibiting the typical american parents behavior: adult-talk to their children, and therefore their kids always cry and whine and yell early in teh morning on the drive way before they leave for school/work and refuse to shut up, and all that their parents do is ADULT-TALK to them. If you don't know what i mean, just walk into any grocery store and you'll see it. They'd talk to their kids like adults in mild manners and be like "put that down, brian. Brian you gotta be quiet. Brian you know you can't do that. We are going to grandma's house it's going to be a lot of fun...." the list goes on and on. The truth is, when you deal with your kids like you're talking to your boss, they take advantage of YOU, as any episode of Nanny 911 can explain. In situations like this, i know what MY PARENTS are going to say, "put that down or i'm leaving you here." And i know pretty well that i'll get my ass whupped if i carry on with my beligerent behavior.

So i've become a victim to their below-average parenting. Their two boys would cry into the wee hours of morning even on days when i had my IV rotation at 530am. So one day a couple months ago i stopped by their house to talk to them, and they were not there (lucky for them). so i left a note and bascially told them to close the window or do something about it. (the night before I called cops on them too).

so the noise went away. but today they are actually pulling this crap on me. without even letting us know. I went out and talked to the workers and basically said that the earliest they can start is 7am, according to the city. and i'm still considering stopping by this afternoon when i get back to personally speak with my neighbor about his little project in the backyard. This is SO TYPICAL of them. Their kids play with the neighbors across street a lot so naturally THEY knew about it and i dont. my window faces them so i hear about EVERYTHING they discuss and the other day i heard something relating to a loud project but didn't know what. This is why i hate some american neighbors because they seem to be in their little wonderland with each other with no regards whatsoever for their non-white neighbors. (and i'm not blowing this out of proportion, i dont care about making friends with them, but you gotta do the basic courtesy of letting them KNOW).

Speaking of my neighbors on the other side, they like to cut trees on our drive way without speaking to us first. they've blocked our entrance TWice in the past year and I AGAIN had to personally stop by their house to give them the talk (because no one in my family would do it). and then i realize they speak mandarin so i turned the lecture into mandarin instead (there's no way you're getting out of this talk). so they can get the point of my discussion.

this is why i need to buy an island and live on it on my own.
