For the past 2 or 3 weeks the next apartment building over (90% sure) has had a smoke alarm going off every couple minutes. Probably a dying battery.
Yesterday I was outside on the curb checking my mail and I noticed this one guy who lives in that building hanging out outside (he does this a lot). So I figure I'll see if he's aware and if not, let him know and see if he'll offer to look into it out of courtesy.
So I walk over, say hi. Then I bring it up, saying "hey, I've noticed lately that there's a smoke alarm that's been going off and it seems like it's coming from your building."
Before I could continue with anything else, he goes: "I wouldn't know anything about that.'
So I say "ok, thanks" and start turning around to walk back to my building, and he goes "by the way your car is loud when you start it up, so tit-for-tat."
And I sort of went...
Said "uh I see" and just walked away.
So basically... he does or he doesn't know whose alarm is dying and he took it to mean I was complaining and so he wanted to have a comeback with his own complaint??
Meanwhile I rarely ever leave these days before 9am or after 9pm. So it's not like I'm starting my car in sleep/quiet hours, and I only come and go maybe two or three times a day max. So I'm not constantly cold starting / revving.
And besides that, I don't even have headers, just an axleback.
Anywho guess common courtesy isn't a thing anymore on either end.
