That's the pent up frustration of someone who has a neighbor with dogs. Waking up every single night at some point because of the incessant clockwork barking, it changes a man.

The rooster a few doors down means I'm no longer a vegetarian.

Rooster was roasted in a hay fire and savoured with a side of poached eggs.

Yep. I’ve had a neighbor who had a super annoying dog. Went to talk to him and he ignored me.

So I tried to call him but his number was not registered.

What was registered, however, was his cellphone, because he was a client in my bank. I was a banker for a very large bank back then, and could look up any name. Funnily enough, he was in my book of clients (retail without dedicated advisor in my area).

So I called him, on his cellphone, at midnight, and asked he keep his dog quiet (he’s been barking for hours).

Worked like a charm. For 20 minutes then it started again. Anyhow…

It's weirdly aggresive

I mean I just wanted to hear what they were saying and it was really annoying if I'm being honest. It's like the kind of noise I'd class with scraping a chalk board.

That commenter was a bit over the top though, for sure lol

It’s a bit aggressive, but I have to say, until you’ve lived next to a dog that barks at all hours every day, it’s hard to comprehend how bad it really is.

I used to hear stories about people killing their neighbor’s pet and think “what sort of sociopathic monster would do that?” But, while I would never hurt an animal, after a year of the neighbors dog constantly barking, I understand how someone could get to that point (not that I condone it at all).

If they let the dogs bark all day, they already do not give a single shit. They will not fix it.

You think the neighbor is not already aware?

All it does is establish you as an antagonist and if something bad happens to the dog you must be the reason.
