Oh... I don't think so, at least I hope not.
RedChariot, it's like this: There are people here in TV (like everywhere else) who choose to ignore the generous concept of being considerate of others. Sometimes they do it selectively and sometimes it is a determined lifestyle effort and encompasses everyone and every situation.
Occasionally it is unconscious, but not often. Most times it is a flat disregard
for others.
And bottom line, they do it because they WANT to. It's a choice.
TV is my home and I love living here. At our age, we all know how to behave and what is socially accepted behavior. Unless someone is newly arrived from another culture where social norms are different, or unless they are mentally altered in some way, they know how to act.
If others don't follow the program there aren't many options to correct the annoyance. Even if they are 'called on it', if they are determined and stubborn enough, they will just do whatever they really want to do, when nobody is looking next time.
You can try various ideas, but you'll have your gut in a knot most often.... your 'knickers in a twist'. The good thing here is that those people reveal themselves really fast, so you don't have to waste your time only to discover later that they aren't worthy.
AND P.S. You CAN call Community Watch about the barking dog left on the Lanai. You must give their address and your name. I did it to relieve my ears but also to help the poor distressed doggie who was left out there repeatedly. It worked. Both he and I are much calmer now and live in harmony.
