good neighborly manners

on thursday night, a neighbour came a-knocking on our door whilst Agnes was in the shower. I answered the door and was confronted by a guy guy who was disgruntled about the noise generated by the pipes when we shower. he said the noise wakes up his mother-in-law, wife and kid.

it was not so much what he said but rather how he said it. it was the first time I have ever seen the guy, let alone spoken to him. yet he was rather confrontational in his tone and choice of words. it was a simple issue that could have been resolved amicably. but he chose to take the route of being abrasive and basically a prick.

I suspect this is the same family that lodged a series of complaints when we were renovating our flat a while back. this is also the same family that wakes up the neighbourhood with their shouting and banging of pots & pans. and many a time this happens in the wee hours (5 am?). so much for our shower pipes waking them up.

anyway we got the guy to come down tomorrow to see what he can do about the sound. failing which we may have to get a plumber to come down as well to resolve the issue.

wat u got against twitter format?

not all that different from your blog when I do that.
anyway I do not always have the time to write full posts, so twitter-style is a good compromise, rather than not posting anything at all.
