Neighbors

I have gotten so used to having neighbors on all sides of us that I often forget what it is like to not have to be considerate and thinking about someone else every time you turn on the TV or radio. However, I sometimes wonder if our neighbors think about us. On the whole, considering that we are surrounded by four different families (upstairs, downstairs, and on either side) they each really don't make a lot of noise. But the people on one side of us have a child that got a drum for Christmas last year. Luckily he is in school most of the time, but when it is the holidays, we hear a lot of THUNK, THUNK, THUNK BOOM. However we have just reached a new low worse than the drums -- I was sitting at the computer and heard the person next door fart loudly three times.
