   Yup.  One time when I was on an odd work schedule, and was   
   trying to sleep at 11:00 AM, some guy in the building next   
   door was apparently adjusting his car alarm, which apparently   
   required setting it off over and over and over again.  He   
   wasn't even smart enough, or considerate enough, to shut off   
   the noise after just an instant, which would have been enough   
   to let him verify it had triggered.  No, he had to let it run   
   through the full cycle.  I was just about ready to call the   
   cops, but figured waiting up for them to arrive, then arguing   
   the issue of whether it was illegal or not for him to do this   
   in the middle of the day, would interrupt my sleep more than   
   just waiting him out.   
      
   It was real lucky for me I didn't own a firearm.
