Something something do not good neighbors make

So, I suppose I didn't realize until I started writing this blog that I love the phrase do not good neighbors make. In honor of my new found appreciation for this phrase, I thought I'd list some things/people/ideas/whatever that do not, in fact, good neighbors make. Here we go.

1) Dogs with separation anxiety and owners with eight hour work days
2) Any kind of large bird, but especially macaws (although I love them, they are the nosiest)
3) A busy bakery (well, if it opens early, probably the customers would be loud, and wouldn't the smell of fresh bread wake me in the morning, like way before the alarm? Yeah, thought so)
4) Wal-Mart
5) Young adults living on their own for the first time
6) Young adults living on their own for the first time in a band
7) Young adults living on their own for the first time in a band that practices at odd hours
8) Anyone that you don't want to love the way you love yourself (thanks Bobby)
9) Mosquitoes
10) People who think they are delicate and unique snowflakes
11) My own growing awareness of my own mortality
12) One of Bobby's exes

So there is a short list. I'm sure, very sure, that there are many more. But hey, let's do one more, since it's the fourth of July.

13) People having firecracker fights and drinking heavily

And there you have it. 13 things which do not good neighbors make.
