FFS. You can be reminded you live in a neighbourhood with a social scene without smoke being pumped into your window. And if your neighbours aren't actively sitting in front of a wood-burning fire like cavemen, it doesn't mean they're glued to their screens.
That brings up another thing that pisses me off lately. Ragging on people on their screens. I work all day. Mess around with kids activities and all the other responsibilities I have evenings and weekends. If I want to carve out an hour or so to read the news, post on CP, check out Reddit, watch some YouTube, etc., there is nothing wrong with that.
But back to the fire thing - why are you pretending listening to other people yucking it up outside your bedroom window while smoke pours in is an objectively enjoyable experience? Like, you can't see how that would be bothersome to some people?
