B/T Noisy Hip Kids like you've described, and Buddhist Monk Like Hip Kids that make no noise and call the cops on me every time I watch a movie....THIS IS WHY I can't wait to buy a house.
Not just a house....LAND with a house in the MIDDLE. No other humans within 100 feet, at least. I will have a fence...a big, strong fence....and a dog...a very big, angry dog that patrolls the DMZ b/t the fence and the house.
And I will watch movies...no, I will EXPERIENCE movies at top-level volume at whatever time I want to.
Excuse me...I have to go touch myself now.
I share your sentiment, except expand the "100 feet" to "100 miles" for me, please 😀 Realistically though, I'd be happy with 1/2 mile. 100 feet may sound good to the apartment dweller, but in reality it's not much. Especially when the kids living in the house 100 feet behind you routinely have screaming contests... while running past your house to the kids' house down the street, said kids who have an endless supply of fireworks and a nonexistent supply of parents... argh, ok now I'm getting all unhappy and stuff 🙁 Find a happy place, find a happy place...
