So recently my neighbor decided to purchase a wind chime. A very large wind chime in fact. The thick brass bars cling and clang and produce a deep clutter of sounds when the winds blow. Normally I enjoy the comforting sounds of the earth's breath. However, this wind chime is a nuisance.
I have a cat now, a kitten really, and it loves to walk on my keyboard. The sounds that its paws make as it struts across the keys become a terrible mess of notes, that is unpleasing to the ear to say the least. But it's a cute cat. You can't get annoyed by its naive mischief. No, you really enjoy it. But when that wind chime starts singing; I see no beauty, no charm, not one faint breath of enjoyment or appreciation. I hate it.
The worst part is that my neighbor has positioned it right outside my window and I hear its constant whining throughout my day.
So what do I do? Surely my neighbor has some sort of affection for his annoying lawn toy. Can I tell him to remove it? Or simply move it? And what of those repercussions? Would he get offended? Or would he tell me that my band is a nuisance that he puts up with it?
Well, I guess in some sort of way I'm being selfish. I do make a lot of noise myself. So who am I to complain? I suppose I'll just have to get used to that cringe, when a hard wind blows.
