Dear Neighbor,
While I understand that you are a bachelor and that as such you like to have large groups of people over to your house for all night parties, as evidenced by the disco ball you have hanging in your living room. And while I also understand that the Fourth of July is a momentous and wonderful day that includes apple pie, hot dogs, beer and lots of celebrating - it does not require you to set off fireworks ALL DAY LONG, and then follow that up with setting off fireworks ALL NIGHT LONG.
At first, the noise was okay. Jeff and I accepted that not everyone on the block has a new baby and a chicken shit dog, and thus we excused your actions with much eye rolling and jokes. But as the day went on with no sign of ending, our patience neared an end. Our poor dog was so stressed that he was panting and drooling like some sort of hound from hell, and we wound up crating him for most of the night. Never mind that my poor husband was ready to call in the Riot Police to shut you down, and only my pleading prevented him from walking over and telling you to quiet down. I also didn't appreciate that as sleep-deprived new parents this noise kept us from taking a much deserved afternoon nap, and falling asleep later that night.
In the future, we would appreciate you perhaps recognizing the fact that yours is not the only house on the block and try and keep your celebratory and illegal fireworks to a minimum. Oh, and to also see that we live right near the WOODS, and that what you are doing could cause a massive fire thus also adding to my husband's stress level as we monitored your actions.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. Any further questions can be redirected to my husband.
Sincerely,
Your exhausted neighbors

Some people are just fricking unbelievable. It is ALL about them. I have obnoxious neighbors, too -- they seem to abound everywhere. And some people use any excuse to party -- it's hardly like they were so moved by the spirit of patriotism that they couldn't control themselves. I would have dropped a dime to the police, especially since the FIREWORKS ARE ILLEGAL.
I still can't get over that he has a DISCO BALL in his living room. When he has parties you can see it all lit up and twirling. The man is in his 40's easy. It's just wrong, wrong, wrong....
I could say "male menopause", but I won't. Oh wait, I just did....
And neighbors like this would be why the Beverly Police non-emergency line is on our speed dial.
We tried to discuss our need for sleep with our crazy neighbor. After asking her twice in one night to quiet down, only to have her ignore our requests, we no longer ask for peace and quiet, we just call the police. It sucks, but sometimes it's the only way.
If they guy wants to party, why does he live in the suburbs?
