Guys who speak too loud 

“There´s no need to raise your voice here. You don´t have to convince anybody of anything, and you don´t have to attract anyone´s attention.”

Norwegian Wood

H Murakami

 

I also don't like those guys who talk too loud; they plonk under your window at any time and don´t care that the whole residential area listens to their conversation. I know one of those.

And I think then that it´s not that he lacks empathy, I mean my neighbour, but that he wants to attract attention and with his inflated spiel he is saying eh?, here I´m, listen to me, I'm the neighbour from the first D flat. I honestly deduce that these are small doses of complacency that he takes several times a day, seven days a week.

To cap it all off, his little sprog is following paternal paths, and he´s the child who roars the most in the yard from June to September, when the pool is active and from October to May when he´s waiting for it to be activated.

On the contrary, and as usually happens most of the time, the wife and mother — who has the right essence to be a saint — isn´t heard throughout the apartment block. Submissive, quiet and kind she seems to have chosen to compensate for the noise pollution emitted by her husband and son and assumes the vow of silence sworn by a Trappistine nun, supposing there are Trappistine nuns and they have to keep silent.
