If people were playing basketball and screaming outside your house . . .

So the rainy weather cold snap we had in Los Angeles is done and these annoying college kids who live near me have their basketball hoop in the street again. I really wouldn’t care, except they feel compelled to scream at the top of their lungs and clap during the games and they tend to play for many many hours at a stretch. They will literally sometimes start at sunup and go until shortly after sundown and they act pissy if I say want to drive somewhere and they have to stop blocking my driveway for a minute.

If I had a bunch of my friends out there playing music at exactly that volume, I don’t think it would take long for the police to be called by someone. But I can’t quite work myself up personally to call the police on these guys.

I could call the police.

I could throw water balloons at them.

I could get a paintgun.

I could continue going outside and asking them politely to please play without the shouting. I think, no matter that I say please, it pisses them off that I am not blinded by their desirability with their shirts off. Because generic haircuts and faces so average they are interchangably forgettable are totally made up for my sporto bodies for me, especially when someone is being an inconsiderate twat. Or not.

What should I do?
