>The asshole blaring music and doing burnouts is very unlikely to respond positively to a suggestion they stop doing that. If they were reasonable people and considerate of others they wouldn't be doing that in the first place. You'd be surprised just how oblivious people are. I lived in an apartment building where a fire escape connected my bedroom window to another window that faced min about 7 feet away. People in that apartment would have parties featuring folks hanging out on the fire escape a few feet from my head and keep me awake. I finally opened the window and said very nicely, "hey guys, any chance you could move inside? I have to catch a bus to work at 7am tomorrow morning?" They were completely shocked that they were even bothering someone else. I never had a problem after that and the party stayed indoors. Not everyone will respond so well, but a surprising number of people don't realize that they're bothering others.
