See and this is exactly what is wrong with people with your viewpoint. You always feel it is zero sum. If I'm going to have a good time it has to be at someone else's expense and that I don't care about those around me.

In fact it is the opposite. I have enough respect for my neighbors to know that if they want to party until 2am, or 5am for all I care, I'm not going to get on their case about it, so long as they don't do it every Friday. I also expect that they'll have enough respect for me to let me party until the wee hours occasionally. You think it is a lack of respect, when I think tattling on your neighbors, when they're good 360 days a year and like to party for 5 of those, is the disrespectful act, not the partying.
