I did what any self-respecting Irishman would do on St. Paddy's day: I went out for sushi. (Seriously. Every Irish themed bar is going to packed with drunken jackasses drinking green beer and puking said beer on the floor later. No way I'm going to one of those places.) Don't think for a second that I didn't have my pint of Guinnness, however.

:: Too Loud ::
I received a noise complaint for the first time ever last week. I was cooking myself dinner after work one night and since it was a recipe I wasn't familiar with, I had my laptop perched on top of my microwave, right next to the open window, with the recipe on the screen.
This worked out well since I love listening to music while I cook. My laptop speakers aren't the greatest but they'll suffice. About 20 minutes in I hear a knock on my door. At 1:30am. I open the door - still holding my knife - and this scruffy looking guy is outside.
"Could you please turn you music down? The entire building can hear you."
"Sure. Sorry about that."
I head back to the kitchen and turn the volume down. Just to be sure, I even changed the music to something mellower, after which I couldn't help but laugh at the situation. I annoyed my neighbor with my crappy little laptop speakers and it wasn't even something obnoxious like Van Halen or Pearl Jam.
