James:
Hey, Claire. Did you hear anything strange last night? I mean, I certainly did.
Claire:
You mean the music at, like, 1 a.m.? Yeah, it sounded like someone was testing speakers for a party or something in the apartment below. [Yeah.]
James:
I thought so, too. And I almost went downstairs, but I didn't want to start a whole neighborhood drama, you know.
Claire:
That's probably a good call if it keeps happening, though, one of us should talk to them. Maybe, they don't realize how sound carries in this building.
James:
True. And speaking of problems, did you see the note on my windshield?
Claire:
The one about parking closer to the curb? I saw you reading it this morning.
James:
Yeah, and I guess I parked a little crooked, but the spot is tight, and I guess I'll try to straighten it out next time.
Claire:
I mean, it happens. The important thing is to avoid blocking the driveways.
James:
Definitely. And maybe I'll park farther down the road until I get better at parallel parking.
Claire:
That's a good idea. Parking is hard sometimes, but let's give it a few days with those neighbors. If the noise keeps up. I guess we can knock and mention it nicely.
James:
That sounds fair. And I'd rather keep things friendly around here.
Claire:
Agreed.
