Once is enough
Twice is too much
Three times or more we're at war
That plasma center next door is not a very good neighbor.
For starters, the building's central air system is absurdly loud, with one of the fans emitting a penetratingly low frequency rumble with excessively grating overtones. And this system turns on and off regularly 24/7.
Then there's the dumpster truck that comes by at least three times a week at five o'clock in the morning to collect (what I assume to be) the biological waste
...full "body slam" and high-pitched intermittent "beeping" to "alert others" when backing up (as if there could be that much of a high volume of traffic in an alley at that time of day).
Then the delivery trucks rumblin' up to to the loading docks blowing their air horns upon arrival.
If living in an apartment building doesn't entail enough noise pollution, what with loud tenants---who've never been taught the difference between "inside voice" and "outside voice"---having their loud conversations in the hall to the traffic noise coming off the main arteries running by the building as well as from various vehicles using the back alley as some kind of "alternative route" to the congested main drags, these activities surrounding the plasma center are adding their fair share to the detracting of any quality-of-life potential this residential unit I reside in could of potentially had.
It's a shame, though. I USED to regularly frequent plasma centers around the country myself when bumming my way place-to-place when I was younger. Feels a bit hypocritical on my part to be complaining about one now.
