You know, the guy/gal who drives around the neighborhoods in their ice cream truck. There's one outside my window now playing that obnoxious melody and driving everyone (except the kiddies) insane. Can I send them over to your place???

Ahhh relief. Gone on down the road. He must have heard my typing...

A close second to that is the noise a windshield wiper makes when it is scraping across with no rain.

How about the neighbor playing the music with the loud bass on an otherwise quite Sunday afternoon.

Thump, thump, thump...

Madonna's being sued by her neighbor in NYC for all of the loud music.

You guys must all live near me 🙂

Those were the sounds of "Welcome" yesterday, ice cream man with one sad sounding tune along with thumping bass.

I'll trade you for the young worker who drives by our place about 0600 every weekday with his bass turned up so high it rattles windows in ALL nearby houses...
I wish I could meet this gent and introduce him to the virtues of coffee or tea for a morning wakeup instead of a 130db filling rattling wake up call.

For the life of me, I don't understand why if you are leaving your car parked somewhere while you aren't in it, you have to keep the music on at that jack-az level. Happens all the time.

Is this awful?

My jacka$$ neighbor with the loud bass works for the National Guard. I have approached him several times to turn the music off, which he does for a short while. I have called the cops, but surprise, they are useless.

Since he is with the National Guard, he goes on trips often. I friend of mine suggested that the next time he leaves, spread the word around town that the house is empty and he has a big expensive stereo.

Did I forget to mention the boomers who come around in the mornings or the yapping dog across the street they stick outside at 4am on the porch who sounds like it's being strangled????? How much are earplugs?

Dixie. He comes around on Sundays in Flamboyant Welcome and parks by the house for 20 minutes or more. Oh how I miss that little bell from the Good Humor trucks... They had the good stuff...

Da Islands; Gotta love it...

Jackass near Tipperary is thumping his music again.

Couldn't care less for his neighbors peace.

I'm waiting for him to go out of town with the National Guard before I post his address all over town.

I do believe in the neighborhood watch program, but If I catch someone breaking into his house, I'll wait until I see his stereo packed up and driven off before I call the cops.

Not making this up!

Has anyone seen Mr. Dicks soft serve ice cream?
It used to be parked by the small Kmart, STT.
I last saw it @ St. John Carnival.

there has been a Mr. Dick selling ice cream from his truck since at least 1977 that I know of.

How about at JFK Housing on STX? Every time I drive by there is very loud blaring music coming from one of the apartments, or probably from the patio of one. How do the other residents put up with it?

And Good to Go, we must live along the same route. I get the 6 am wake up rattle, too!
