BERLIN (AP) — German police said an elderly man was so annoyed at hearing the same serenade over and over that he called authorities to report his neighbors — only to discover the culprit was a musical greeting card on his own windowsill.
Police said Tuesday the 82-year-old from Goslar in central Germany told officers he was sick of the music, which would come at irregular intervals and at all hours.Upon further investigation, police found the musical greeting card on his windowsill, where occasional breezes opened the card just enough to play an irritating tune.
Police said the retiree was happy to find out his neighbors weren't trying to annoy him.

1. That is going to be ME, I just know it.
2. Ha Ha Ha BWAhahahaaaaaaaaaaaa.............
3. Remember this story the next time you murmur: "Those damn neighbors!~" because the very thing that you think they are doing to annoy you, might just NOT be them.
4. Brings a whole new meaning to: "Love thy neighbor as thy love yourself", doesn't it?
5. So, is he going to sue the greeting card company now?
6. I wonder who sent the card to him and I wonder if they found out that they gave the gift that "kept on giving"????
7. This guy needs a woman in his life. Not so that she could've prevented this...but just so she could make fun of him when this happened. (And for the rest of his life).
8. This is going to be my husband in about 20 years, I just know it.
Only he wouldn't report the neighbors.
He would suffer it but feel bad about the neighbors making his life so miserable.
But he would continue to be nice to the neighbors.
He'd probably still shovel them out of their driveway.
He's annoyingly nice like that.
(I know, I know, that is why I love him so much).
But dang...just ONCE, couldn't he REPORT neighbors that did him wrong?
The man is a Saint, I tell you.
And STOP saying: "He MUST BE, he married YOU, didn't he? (I heard you)!!

Great post, really funny. Your husband sounds like a keeper. I think we have all experienced something comparable to this at some time and blamed the wrong person. Have a good week.
ReplyDeleteThat is really funny. I wonder if he hadn't called the police if he EVER would have figured it out.
ReplyDeleteI love this one. I think, in the back of my mind I actually heard someone else who didn't recognize a musical card and got mad. Giggle. I can see why you love your husband, they bring lots of laughs to ones life.
ReplyDeleteSouthern: I chuckled myself when I read the news article...I could SO seeing us doing something like that.ha
ReplyDeleteDJan: I wondered that too...thank goodness for the police detectives. :o}
Carol: I probably bring more laughs to him (regarding some of the things I have done!) than him. :-}
lol. note to self...always check for greeting card...i could so see myself in his shoes..
ReplyDeleteThat is so funny! Yep, I could see that happening to me someday!
ReplyDeleteThat was funny. I do something like that sometimes - get frustrated looking for a pen or pencil only to remember that I had stuck it into my hair for a quick updo :)
ReplyDeleteThat was too funny, as were your comments! lol
ReplyDeleteOH how funny, Joan.... I laugh now---but know that I may be just like that in a few years!!!!!
ReplyDeleteLove it.
Thanks.
Hugs,
Betsy
Poor guy, something meant to cheer him was driving him nuts. Your husband does sound like a nice guy.
ReplyDeleteI have GOT to try this on someone.
ReplyDeleteYour husband sound like a very sweet man. So is mine!
ReplyDeleteYea, I can actually be annoyingly nice myself! :)
ReplyDeleteBrian: I thought it was so funny too because I could see myself doing it.
ReplyDeleteJeanette: Me too!
Loree: Or your glasses on top of your head...done that too!
Eva: Glad you liked it...
Betsy: Sometimes I am like that NOW. :0}
TechnoBabe: he is, he is a doll.
Kearsie: You devil!
Jientje: They would HAVE to be, to put up with all our help taking photos, right?
Otin: I can tell!! :-}
HOW funny!!! I know something like that has happened to us and it is on the tip of my memory but I can't find it!!!! DARN!!! Now THAT will keep me awake at night!
ReplyDeleteOkay!!
ReplyDeleteThat is a funny one! The poor old guy must've been pretty embarrassed about that call to the police!
ReplyDeleteI like your new blog look by the way!
LOL, you're right -that man needs a woman! Now the next time something bugs me, I will NOT immediately blame the neighbors.
ReplyDeleteI knew you had a wonderful husband when we first met, no not because he married you but because you chose him, not to mention how cool he is to always help you get the pictures you want....perhaps you two were just meant to be.
ReplyDeleteLove ya........:-) Hugs
Cathy: Maybe one of Dan's hats was musical and kept going off? ha
ReplyDeleteGrannyann: I would've loved to have been there when he discovered what the noise was. ha
Catherine: Thanks so much! I love the new blogger choices too.
Dreamwalker: That might be a good thing to remember. ha
Bernie: You are right,he spoils me rotten and is very, very patient. I am a lucky, lucky woman!!
Poor old man - ha,ha! Kind of reminds me of Greg - he always thinks someone is breaking in the house and it's just the cat running around getting into stuff!
ReplyDeleteThis is too funny! I guarentee this will be by my Hubby someday! He is always complaining about our neighbors.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!
I have a little device called an annoy-a-tron. It doesn't make music, but it makes an irritating beeping sound at random intervals. I use it to do exactly what it's intended for. I hide it near my unsuspecting victim until they can't stand it anymore. It's one of my most prized possessions.
ReplyDeleteShelley: Poor Greg! Although our cats were always mischeivious and would often get into REAL trouble, so it's a good thing that he hears them when they do. :0}
ReplyDeleteSara: Yes, those dang neighbors. ha One lady across from us has a disaster of a yard...her kids bring broken cars, old boats and campers and leave them in her yard and it looks AWFUL...everyone complains about it, but there is no ordinances against it here. Now, she isn't even living there during the winter and we get to look at all that crap every day.
Ratty: You are a devil!!!!
That is so funny. It's something I can see my hubby doing twenty years from now too. I wonder what the music was?
ReplyDeleteSquirrelQueen: I wondered what the tune was too...and found it sooo funny!
