Complaints... ish

I don't really have a deep post... but I have a couple of random complaints... well, something like complaints...

I live in a small apartment complex (rough estimate: about 100 apartments), yet every day somebody manages to set off a car alarm... sometimes one goes off two or three times a day. The go off at all different times of day: late at night, early in the morning, middle of the afternoon, when I'm eating dinner... so it's not like it's just a bunch of drunk people who can no longer perform simple tasks (I hope... maybe I just live in an alcoholic complex...). Seriously, what's up with this?

Why do teachers/professors thank you when you turn something in? It seems rather silly...
