Loud paper boy

[billharnois.livejournal.com]

Am I the only one who gets woken up every morning by the paper boy near Rogers Ave/Kidder between 5-6am? He drives around our neighborhood all morning and his car really needs a muffler. It's very loud and has a deep sound that you can hear from far away.

I got up this morning to confirm which paper it is, so I could call and complain. I saw him on Pearson and I think it's the Boston Globe, but I'm not positive.

absolutely. He's waking everyone up in the neighbor hood at 5am. That's unnacceptable. I'm not really trying to get him in trouble, I just want him to fix his damn car.

And it's not just a few minutes sleep. I can hear him for about an hour driving up and down each street in our condensed residential area, not to mention I don't fall back asleep all that easy.

Well, I imagine that fixing a car is a relatively expensive thing, and that a paper deliveryman doesn't rake in the dollars.

Perhaps you could wear earplugs if you have a hard time staying asleep? It would work -tomorrow-, as opposed to whenever they get around to canning the guy whose car is noisy.

Earplugs do not work against low base sounds.

I'd prefer to throw a brick in his windshield.

Good to know who the friendly folks in the community are.

Tomorrow hide in the bushes waiting for him. When he gets close jump out in front of his car and fix his muffler...that'll teach him....

I was going to say the comment about waiting in the bushes to vandalize the paperboy's van was the funniest thing I've read all day, until I read your comment about waiting in the bushes to fix the paperboy's van. THAT was the funniest thing I've read all day.
