Whether the windows are open or closed makes no difference. The barbarians are at the gates and their behavior makes one regret being of the same species. Or, is that my curmudgeonly nature showing? (go to the dictionary and you should find, in support of its definition, my picture next to the word CURMUDGEON)
Why do people have to pull up in the parking lot and HONK-HONK-HONK their horns? Why do they have to stand outside in the middle of the lot and yell (usually obscenities) at the windows of all the apartments before them when, in fact, their target lives in one of the apartments facing the BACK of the building?
Ah . . . life among the horseless and unshod, among the great unwashed masses. I can see how easily one develops elitist tendencies (in the current sense of the word). And what, by the way, is wrong with being elitist? I remember a time when that word decidedly did NOT have the less than savory connotations it now has.

Knowledge that one is not a barbarian and the will to resist their ways is not elitist, it is wisdom. Driving a one-inch post through your tongue then claiming that I should pay to treat the infection you get - THAT is elitist.
