Ron, it's peeve, not a major issue. I've been lucky and have rarely had "bad" neighbors. When one does show up, they seem to exhibit more than one of these unfortunate behaviors. The same guy that runs a leaf blower might also have landing strip lights and a barking dog. Not really surprising as all this is related to the need for attention and an entitled mentality. They are the center of the universe and we all need to see them as such, right? Fortunately, in my experience most folks would rather be courteous than offensive.
