Consistent, persistent, and especially unnecessary noise is an absolute menace when it comes to life in a neighborhood community.
Sure, everyone's going to have a need to make noise, and that's just part of life, too. Mowing lawns and other home and garden maintenance are by no means quiet, nor are playing children and outdoor social gatherings.
Still, something that happens occasionally can be understood and is thus tolerable, even if it is a slight annoyance.
But incessant noise over a sustained period of weeks, months, and years—like a dog left outside to bark or a modified car starting up every day in the early hours of the morning—is enough to drive even the most calm, collected, and rational among us to mania through prolonged exposure to the tortuous disruptance.
This poster shared the below thread in an online community, asking readers whether or not they were in the wrong for starting their loud (likely) modified car up in the early hours of the morning. When their neighbor was pushed to mention it to them, they instead told the neighbor that they should "just wear earplugs" and not complain about it.
Readers had a lot to say to the original poster about this, putting them in their place for their attitude and intentional omission of facts in their narrative that some said was the original poster trying to avoid harsh judgment.
