LOL!

Back in the days when I rented a flat, I had a young neighbor who played heavy metal music until the wee hours. Not I said changed his behavior. Nothing, that is, until I decided to start getting up at 6 AM and playing opera at highly "appropriate" levels. When the young man protested that it was waking him, I simply explained that I was only doing as he did - playing any music I wanted to hear, at the volume and hour I wanted. He quickly figured out that his sleep was more important than his lack of manners. Problem solved!
