Urban Annoyances

Every morning at 6:45, someone drives by the front of our house and honks for a good 3-4 seconds. You can almost set your watch by it.

We live on a residential street that is often used as a cut-through between two more industrial streets.  Someone (in a not-quite-so-new silver sedan) has decided they don’t like people parking on the street and honks EVERY time they drive by.  This has been going on the last six months or so - I kept hearing it from bed in the spring, but when I started getting up at 6 AM over the Summer, I noticed it happened every morning about the same time.

Mark and I decided to see who it is - and try and figure out why they’re doing it. If this person is just turning onto our street, honking, and turning off immediately, we think we have a fairly good case to argue our street should allow no thru traffic, or at least argue that constant honking is a disturbance of the peace.

Then the question comes - what’s next? Call the cops? Who do we petition to get this craziness stopped? Or is someone just going to slap a No Parking sign on our street?

Take care, and don’t be a jerk for no reason.
