3.behaviour of neighbours

“Ahh…….it’s Sunday, the best day of the week” I said as I was watching television.My sister was listening to the radio and my brother was singing with his karaoke machine . I was having a great day when my neighbour rudely interrupted me by knocking loudly on the door .When I opened the door he told me to keep the noise level down.” Why should I keep the noise level down? Mind your own business, I said, as I purposely slammed the door shut.

I was irritated by his rude and obnoxious request. After I regained my composure, I resumed my favourite Sunday afternoon activity which was watching television. Again I heard a loud knock on my door. When I opened my door, I saw my neighbour standing there with an angry look on his face. He said “I am going to call the police if you don’t keep the noise level down.”
I now realised that he is doing this tit for tat. We had a similar incident where I had called the police . Instead of succumbing to his request, I challenged him to call the police thinking that he would back down.

To my surprise, he took out his mobile phone and dialled for the police. Soon after, the police arrived . They took down both our versions of the incident. after that, the policeman scolded us for being bad neighbours.


*This composition is parallel to my original story “bad neighbour”. For each composition I changed the lead character and a bit of changes in the story line as well.
