On the third day, however, the volume was blasted to an insane level. The weather was pleasant enough that I had my windows open to enjoy the breeze. I know he drinks heavily, and trying to reason with a drinker is like trying to get grammar cops to ignore errant apostrophes, so I merely closed my windows and weathered the binge. I know from dealing with him in the past that a knock on his door wouldn’t have ended well (we’ve been neighbors for 18 years), and it wasn’t a matter that required law enforcement intervention. Half an hour later, it was over as he turned off the music on his own. I have never placed him nor any other neighbors of mine in that situation.
