I find this sentiment rather unsettling. Who am I to deny someone else their fun in life? There is a Dutch retort to this kind of condescending remark: "who are you, the pope"?

Last night, I had a discussion with a friend about how neighbours' noise complaints are ruining small-time, local run and operated cafes in the country (in Germany also). Noise complainants are becoming all-powerful to the point of unreasonableness.

Can we accept that in society, asses exist that are going to behave like asses no matter what, and not micromanage/regulate literally every aspect of life. I dread this kind of society where we have a law dictating how long you have to cut your grass in your front garden.

People doing what they want is fine as long as it doesn’t negatively impact anyone else. What really gets me here is that this guy is going out of his way to be obnoxious.
