Man Pettily Responds With Impromptu Guitar Concert On Porch After Neighbor Blasts Air Horn At Family Dog

by Sophia

Living next to folks who don't jive with your vibe can be a real drag. OP's tale is a classic example of how neighborly disputes can turn from annoying to petty faster than you can say "air horn."

Imagine this: OP and their brother, just trying to live their lives, are constantly woken up by neighbors who work night shifts. These neighbors have a habit of yakking away on Bluetooth calls in their car, right next to OP's bedroom.

Talk about a rude awakening!

Then, enter OP's dog. This furry friend starts barking at the neighbors' chit-chats, which is kind of amusing at first. But things take a sour turn when the neighbor starts blasting an air horn at the dog.

Not cool, right? OP tries to play nice, setting up dog bark deterrents, but it's like putting a band-aid on a leaky faucet.

Cue OP's brother, fed up with the air horn shenanigans. He grabs his guitar and amp, and sets up a personal rock concert on the back porch.

The result? A full-blown yelling match with the neighbors. It's like watching a tennis match of pettiness, with each side lobbing their annoyances back and forth over the fence.

Just take a look...

Two years in, OP lived with their brother—and their neighbors' morning departures for night shifts consistently disrupt their sleep.

Neighbors' driveway is five feet from bedrooms; they make Bluetooth calls in their cars, audible even through the bedroom wall.

OP's dog barks at annoying calls; neighbor's response: air horn.

Bark deterrents installed, but the neighbor's rare outings for yard work and mail disrupt dog duty.

Dog bark deterrent battery died. OP's relaxing in the living room, and suddenly, here comes the air horn.

OP's brother's porch concert leads to neighbor's false accusations, calling him an "asshole" and insisting on bringing the dog inside.

Neighbor and wife, who had been hovering, storm inside. Brother contemplating daily post-work practice.

Craft a masterpiece from annoyance: Take notes on the neighbor's phone talks, create a song, and have the brother perform it amplified.

Electric violin for the brother? Amplified learning curve—a special gift to share with the neighbors!

New multi-effect pedal: the neighbor's wakeup call, now with added flair!

Introducing the latest neighbor serenade upgrade: Now featuring awesome looping pedals!

Neighbor symphony, now with hours of perfecting the phaser for that extra touch of finesse!

Spy on their Bluetooth call, then crank up a loud chat with the brother. Neighbors will surely lower the volume next time.

New hobby idea: Bagpipes! Duet with the brother. Neighbors won't hit snooze twice.

Had a neighbor who aced the bagpipe wake-up at 7 am every Saturday. Fast track to mute mode for the neighbors!

Brother, go inside for a drink or bathroom break—coincidentally, the guitar might hit "feedback mode." Timing is key!

Twice the charm: Brother went inside for a break, and, surprise, the guitar decided to share some feedback. Perfectly timed drama!

Wishing the brother a healthy break—whether a lengthy bathroom visit or a nap—during the "stressful" feedback episode.

Turn the tables: Invest in an industrial-size air horn, wait for their loud chat, and let the symphony of revenge begin.

Cut the niceties. Suggest the brother takes up the violin for a subtler touch of sonic chaos.

Encourage them: Suggest taking up the bagpipes. It's like adult recorder lessons, with a bit more impact!

Well, this was an interesting story. It is definitely a snapshot of how living next to the wrong people can turn your peaceful home into a battleground of petty one-upmanship.
