- I Hate My Neighbor -

okay. i may offend some out there, but here goes.

i've had jobs that allowed (or forced) me to go into many many homes. i worked for the local electric company, i worked for a cable company, and i worked for the 2000 census.

this is what i saw again and again and again: when i would go into homes in the upper socio-economic groups, things would be quiet and peaceful. rarely would there be a television playing, and often, a television wasn't even visible. i never heard a stereo blaring. these were quiet homes. dad might be in some corner looking at the news, or there might be some gentle music playing in the background. that's about it.

in homes in the lower stratosphere, it was just the opposite. there would be so much commotion that i honestly don't know how they stood it. the television would always be the center of the the living room, and all the furniture arranged around it. the more poor the family, the bigger the tv. i put cable in homes that didn't even have furniture to sit on. that's the truth. and the tv would be at full volume whether anybody was watching it or not. on top of this would be ear slamming music. the adult in the home would talk to me as if she/he couldn't even hear the noise. as if it were perfectly normal to have to scream to be heard.

just sharing my observation, folks. i saw it again and again and again.

Television and the computer are the modern opiate(s) of the masses. At least people in all economic levels can enjoy the escape from their day-to-day lives.
Interesting observations. You could expand on the topic and write a book with a clever name.
Thanks for sharing =)

I use to clean houses mostly very rich jewish people.If there wasn't a tv on then they would be on the computor.One time a lady was listening to old blue eyes very loud anh her place was huge and whatever room i was in I could hear it.So your observation is whack.Only poor people like to listen to music loud give me a fucking break.MORON.Hope I wasn't offensive .You are for sure.That is why we have racists people in the world yours is just a different form.

you are quite clearly both poor and stupid. and an anti-semite to boot. let me say it again: the lower economic homes had the biggest, loudest televisions and stereos. i'm not the creator, just the reporter.

I agree completely with the original poster. There was nothing whatsoever racist or prejudicial about his/her opinion. I can't say the same for the reply which mentioned Jews.
I have been in homes where the television is always on and the volume is turned up LOUD. Any attempts at conversation are answered with grunts or, "wait a minute, this is the good part," as the slack-jawed television watcher stares fixedly at the screen.
These are usually lower middle-class or low-income folks. There are exceptions to the rule, but in my experience poor folks are more likely to have the television on all day than rich ones.
People in the upper income brackets usually watch televisiion for a specific purpose: the big game, a special movie or newsworthy event or one of two favorite shows each week. The rest of the time, the TV is off.
Any kids in the house may be playing music a bit loudly, but in wealthy homes, music is generally low-key and in the background, not a jarring, thumping presence that hits a visitor in the face the second the front door opens.
Books are more likely to be in evidence in a home of a family ithat is well-off financially. Those are just my observations.
As for playing music loudly in cars, that's just immature and an invasion of others' space, just as is talking loudly on cell phones in public places or having noisy conversations in movie theaters during the show. Well-bred people don't do these things.

I am not racist .JEW JEW.If that one word makes me racist so be it people are so politically correct now adays that it is pathetic.Get over yourself!!!!!!!!!!!!Clearly you are having a form of racism when you say poor people are stupid and rich people are so smart that they do not have a tv on all day how do you know that the poor peoplr keep their tv on all day because you do?

Let me say I am not racist and the word jew is not a racist term.When you put poor people down and have negative shit to say and praise rich people for their mannerisms or actions it is a form of racism.I will be like moron now I saw very few books in rich people's house and they did listen to their music loud this does not make them bad or poor people bad when they listen to music louder than normal or have the tv on all day.

Why have you gone through so many jobs may I ask? You sound way to shifty to be so judgmental of others. Get a job, hold it for more than a year and then talk to me. I have been working for 30 years, I live in this "upper socioecconomic" life you speak of, and I have a HUGE tv smack dab in the middle of my entertainment room with all the furniture arranged for viewing around it. Yep, thats right we enjoy watching tv and or movies together as a family in the evenings.
