First, i kicked an aggressive dog out of the dog park. Second, i quieted down my neighbor who was noisy for hours. I waited until it was past quiet hours, so i was clearly in the right. I found out he's playing Dungeons and Dragons over the phone. It was really bothering me, not knowing what he was hooting and hollering about and why he would use different voices and why he'd go silent sometimes. I thought, well, he's either one hell of a conversationalist over the phone or he's a gamer talking over a headset. But his explanation tells why he talks in a higher voice sometimes, presumably his character. Sheesh! Both incidents had good results and i didn't find it too upsetting. Yay Jane!
Brilliant on your part, way to go on being assertive!
