The hermit in the driveway

[binkmeister]

My neighbor, who has been a hermit for the better part of a decade, has
decided to reemerge from his lair. I guess covid has convinced him it's
time to get out there and start living again! "Out there" being his
driveway and "living" being things like shooting guns at all different
hours, revving crappy engines, leaving on loud motorcycles and then
returning five minutes later only to do it again five minutes later,
slamming car doors day and night, horns blowing, working on junk cars at
3am, blasting music for what seems like 24 hours straight, random hoots
and hollars at random times.
He and his weird buddies have turned the driveway into and outdoor
public man cave. A 24/7 petroleum fueled man party!
What ever happened to the good old days when people sat inside, watched
TV, and smoked? I guess TV sucks now and cigarettes are too expensive so
this is what you get.
Years ago these same people had a relative staying in that same driveway
in a camper. Rumor had it that he had a giant porn collection in there
and you hardly ever saw him. It was nice. People in the past knew how to
settle back and stay out of your hair.
But now people are restless, porn is not enough, they must be making
noise. They must be constantly drawing attention to themselves. THAT is
the new porn.

Welcome to America. Land of the face diaper wearing narcissists, in
love with themselves and loud noises. Seriously, what is up with
humans and their fascination with loud noises?

I used to live across from a human who would sit in his driveway and
rev his motorcycle and play loud Bruce Springsteen music. Then his
meth wife cheated on him and he took off on his loud motorcycle and
never looked back. Now it is just the meth wife, her felon son who has
turned into a hoarder and is living in the garage, his fat girlfriend,
and a transgender person who only wears red shirts and water shoes and
is related to no one.

Only a matter of time before the felon son gets out there and starts
living again burglarizing homes (as he did mine). Good times. Humans
are a joy to live around.

$1200 can buy alot of Red Bull and gasoline.

They need to go to the "Rez" and get some of those Indian-woo-woo
cigarettes. That is what my meth head neighbor and her collection of
flop house roommates do. Seneca cigarettes with the big red indian
head on the pack.

People are too narcissistic today to stay out of each others' hairs.
It is the "look at me!" world. It is the "I play really loud crappy
music out in my driveway at all hours of the day/night!" world. It is
the "I don't care who I bother with my constant shittiness!" world.

Life is good.

Been that way for a while. At least where I live in Zombieland. People
are asexual now, no need for porn. People are now toddlers, where loud
bangs and temper tantrums are the new porn.

They are there revving again right now. Last night there was banging at
2am. No gunshots today so we are still ahead. And just now a horn
blowing. Yay! And don't forget the backfiring motorcycle! These people
are like caricatures.

Sound like really nice people. Real "salt of the earth". You should get
to know them better. Offer to let him store some junk at your place.
Although I'm sure he wouldn't trust you with his junk. hehe

Surely that $1200 is gone by now!

We don't have anything that nice here.

That's surely the reality here now. While I sit inside and bother
nobody. Guess I should learn how to bother people. But I don't have the
energy for that. To bad for me I guess.

Actually I have heard a few temper tantrums over there. Must have run
out of cigs and gas that day.
