Dear Neighbor who owns the other 1/2 of our townhouse:

I get that you're old and hard of hearing - but must you have the TV at full volume against the wall of my office all.day.long? There's a lot of sound proofing in these walls - so god knows how loud you have that thing.
It's darned near impossible to work while listening to your "stories."

Love,
Your neighbor who is rapidly losing patience

PS: The next time you stalk me when I get off the bus to find out when my husband will be done with the (free) translation he is doing for your genealogy project we *will* have words - about stalking and the television. And perhaps the fact that your regularly block our driveway and drive down the wrong side of the road.
