Car alarms. I hate them.

Just now, looking down from my apartment, I watched a pedestrian accidentally bump a car while walking between two cars to the sidewalk. The car alarm went off. And the noise of that alarm set off another car alarm.

I know -- it's an insurance thing. People install car alarms to get lower premiums. But those fuckers go off all the time. It's incredibly irritating at 4-5am.

Truth is -- if someone was breaking into a car, was successful, and the car alarm started going off, I'd ignore it. .I'm so used to hearing them, I'm going to ignore it just as I've learned to ignore every other car alarm in the city.

In fact, as long as the thieves promise to drive that loud, irritating alarm away from me, I'll be totally happy to have it gone.
