Tonight, as Tracy and I were hanging out in our living room with the front door open to let in a draft, we heard a prolonged car horn beep coming from the street outside our apartment. Honestly, it sounded like someone had passed out/died at the wheel and their head landed on the horn. I don't think I've ever heard a horn beep for as long as this one. It must've been about 25 or 30 seconds. Then it stopped. Then it started back up again for about 15 seconds, followed by short bursts for another 10 seconds. At this point, we decided to head outside to see what the problem was.
Apparently, a car was blocking our across-the-street neighbor's driveway, and he was celebrating the fact that the owner had left it unlocked, which allowed him to beep it to his heart's content. His logic? He believed that perhaps the car's owner would recognize the beep and come move the car. Ummm...yeah. I couldn't make this stuff up. I reminded him that it was after 9pm and other people lived in the neighborhood, and miraculously that convinced him to stop beeping.
What does it take to get a quiet night around here? These people make the "Ballard Crazies" pale in comparison.
