A man who wanted to live a quiet and peaceful life discovers that dropping eggs from his balcony has solved the problem. But when the police start asking questions, it becomes a bit heated.
Grew Up Around Noise
The man lived in a city and was constantly used to the sounds of traffic, car horns, and people shouting at all hours of the day. It wasn’t remotely pleasant for him so he vowed to live somewhere quiet when he could.
Limited Funds
Working in manual labor, the man got by but certainly didn’t have expendable income. He knew that he needed to move out of the family home, but couldn’t find anywhere that he could afford.
He Finds a New Apartment
When he spotted an apartment building that had rentals available, he decided to go and take a look. The apartment was lovely, clean and well decorated, and fully furnished. He could afford it too.
The Downside
The only negative was that there was a pub on the ground floor. He fully expected people to be getting drunk until a late hour and making loads of noise as they gathered outside.
Took His Chances
The man decided to take his chances on the assumption that he would be sixteen floors up, hopefully high enough not to hear any noise from the ground floor. He convinced himself it wouldn’t be an issue.
The Noise Begins
Shortly after moving in, he realized that his initial suspicions were confirmed. He’d often wake at one or two in the morning to drunken people talking and shouting outside in the street.
Double Trouble
To make matters worse, his apartment has two balconies on two sides of the building, so he often looked down on people grouping together on both sides of the building. That meant he had double the noise!
A Chance to Fight
When he hears of a committee meeting for the residents of the building regarding the noise from the pub, he decides to attend. He likes living there and wants to do what he can to make it a quieter place.
An Angry Environment
At the meeting, there’s a load of people complaining about noise pollution and a spokesperson saying they are trying to do what they can. There are restrictions in place and a lot of red tape that makes it less than straightforward.
A Bold Declaration
One man, who has been outspoken the whole time, is clearly annoyed at the lack of support they’re receiving. He stands up and shouts, “Let’s take matters into our own hands then!” Everyone starts clapping, and the man finds it quite amusing.
The Noise Increases
When the pub decides to add a few event nights with live entertainment and extended hours, the noise worsens. The man has to listen to drunken screams and shouts not just at weekends but during the week too!
Struggling at Work
Things take a turn for the worse when he starts to oversleep and misses his alarm going off. The days he gets to work on time, he’s absolutely exhausted and realizes he can’t keep going on like that.
An Intervention
One night, midweek, the man is so fed up with the sound that he gets out of bed. As he pulls a bottle of water out of the fridge, he spots his eggs and decides to try and shut the revelers up.
An Act of Vandalism
He carefully leans over the balcony and drops an egg where a group of people is chatting. To his amazement, they immediately disperse, and he goes back to bed and has the best night’s sleep he’s had in ages.
A Miracle Cure
The next night, there’s a loud metal band playing at the pub, and the revelers are in full force. Once again, he throws his egg out of the window, and like a miracle, the group disperses and goes back inside.
He Develops an Addiction
Over the course of a few months, the man starts buying more eggs, and it becomes an addictive habit that he can’t seem to stop. Each time he hears the noise, he simply drops an egg, and it stops!
A Secret Hero
No one has a clue that the man is doing it! One night, he pays a visit to the downstairs pub and overhears people chatting about eggs being dropped from balconies in the building! He smiles, satisfied that his work is being recognized.
A Shock Visitor
One evening after work, he’s just got home after stocking up on his egg stash when a police officer comes to his door. The officer asks to come in for a quick word. The man reluctantly agrees as they both look at the numerous boxes of eggs.
A Close Encounter
Convinced he’s about to be arrested and ready to formulate a terrible excuse, the officer smiles and says, “We’re aware of noise complaints, and of someone who keeps throwing eggs. While, as an officer of the law, this is an undeniably genius act to shut people up, we simply ask that if you happen to KNOW the person that is throwing them off the balcony, to please make them stop!” The officer then smiles and leaves.
