I was washing my car at 2:20am...
 

I'm meeting with a model in the morning and I didn't want it to look like my car had been parked under a tree for the past year. So I ran to Walmart and picked up car washing soap and a sponge. When I got home, I decided just to get it done... about 5 minutes into spraying it down, I hear a knock come from the neighbor's window... and he said "I don't appreciate being woken up in the middle of the night." I said I was sorry, and I put my stuff away. I guess I'll finish it up in the morning.

Am I an asshole for washing my car at this time of night? It's a nicer part of Sacramento built in the 1920's where the homes are kind of scrunched together...

fuck him u pay for your space i would have asked him 2 come and stop me

:1orglaugh

If somebody was making noise outside on the street in the middle of the night I would complain too.

2 each his own

Ya not cool.
Just reverse the story and see how you would feel.
I would go over in person and apologies.
Nothing like making a bad neighbor.

id put a couple lumps on his head aka goose eggs :1orglaugh

Well it wasn't on the street. It was back behind our gate on the side of the house. I didn't realize the neighbor would be sleeping in one of the rooms facing the side that I'd be washing the car on.

Anyway, my bad... I didn't mean to cause a ruckus. Just wanted to get my car clean. I did tell him I was sorry through his single-pane window.

You should of waited until the sun came up. That's usually my thinking when I do random shit at 3AM. Just hold out a few more hours then no one can bitch about it.

Looks like it is going to be a short night for you Xenigo. :pimp

its 3am im audi 5000 hahaha

Yeah, pretty much resigned myself to the fact that I'm done for the evening. Not sure if I'll be able to do it before I leave in the morning. Man, I've never pissed off a neighbor... not once. Well, there was one time as a teenager that I shot apples through someone's windows with a massive three-person sling-shot... but ever since I've been an adult, I've never pissed off a neighbor... I sort of feel bad now.

How much noise could possibly be made by WASHING a car? I don't see why it was a problem.....

Well see THAT was exactly my logic. I picked up this spray gun nozzle thing at Walmart and it was HELLA fucking powerful... like a 100 foot blast sort of thing. I didn't realize it was going to be loud until I sort of got into it, and then I got to thinking that there was a chance the neighbor might hear it... I was going to stop if I saw a light come on... I didn't think it was that big of a deal.

I guess I shouldn't worry too much about it... it's not like I got arrested.

Here's a pic of the spray nozzle:

how did the car look when the sun came up? was it clean?

The sun hasn't come up yet. It's only been an hour since the neighbor yelled at me. :(

If you were being noisy I understand the complaint. If you weren't then he needs to go back to sleep.

Sorry, hope it was worth getting yelled at from neighbour,

I'll pick it back up in the morning. I guess I was too loud. But it wasn't intentional. I mean, he could have been on the other side of the house... I really had no idea what exactly he'd hear.

U should kick his ass and make him wash ur car!

nice time :)

exactly what I was going to say...

Depends on if a hose was being used and that sort of thing.

Now he probably thinks you're a crackhead.

you should never wash your car before 3 am, where are your manners? jeeeezzzz

Something kinda unusual... hehehe

What the hell? You some meth/speed freak? I don't even wash my balls at 3AM.

hahha, you are not and asshole but a crazy one! That`s what I would think if I catch someone washing a car at that time.. :)
