Open letter to the "gentleman" standing outside my building cursing loudly at someone on his phone…

My neighbors and I all understand that you are annoyed with someone. You have expressed your thoughts very creatively and colorfully.

But I’m three floors up and can hear you in lieu of my own phone or television. You have the option of moving along; I alas, am a captive audience.

Oh, dear…our neighbor just told you to "shut up". Shouting back at [b]him[/b] is not advised. Great guy, formidable presence (6’6", 320lb), doesn’t suffer fools patiently.
Yep, that’s him in the doorway.

Ah, goodbye, then ! ☺️

Yeah, I can tell you from personal experience that while somebody is angrily shouting at someone else is not the best time to bring it up. Maybe wait a little bit until the dude cools down, and then say something like, "Hi, I don't know what you're going through right now, or what kind of stupidity you're dealing with, but we can all hear you when you're yelling into your phone. Is there a way you can maybe tell people off a little quieter? I'm sure whatever is happening is really frustrating, but it's kind of interrupting our day. Anyway, just something to think about."

@LordShadowfire An hour of listening to the same points and profanity seemed a sufficient amount of time.

@bijouxbroussard Yeah, sometimes those angry phone calls just go on way too long.
