Am I a psychopathic authoritarian asshole?

submitted by trident765 from self.nonmorons

There is a barking dog next door that is very loud and disruptive to my sleep. It has a screeching bark, and it yelps and makes other strange noises as well. It sounds like it is in pain. This has been going on for over a month.

I was going to leave a note on the door asking the owners to make their dog stop barking. But this morning it woke me up with its barking and I was just so pissed that I got my laptop and wrote a letter complaining directly to the apartment complex. I kind of made it sound like I was worried about the dog, but the reality is I don't care - I just want it to stop barking. Does this make me a psychopathic authoritarian, for virtue signalling and appealing to authority in order to get what I want? I could have just left a note on the door of the tenants, and there is a chance they would have gotten the dog to stop barking.

When dealing with modern scum, the ends justifies the means, so don't worry.

In a civilized society, your apartment wouldn't have been constructed of cheap crap, so you wouldn't even hear your neighbor's dog. In a civilized society, if your neighbor did disturb you in some way, you should notify him first before complaining to a higher authority. But you don't live in a civilized society.

The walls are so thin here that last night I could hear a young woman next door trying but failing to contain her moans while she was getting fucked by a Chad. This was actually one of the things that pushed me over the edge, because whether the tenant was the slut or the Chad, the fact that the tenant was having sex in modern culture means the tenant must be scum. Then I figured that since the tenant is scum, the reason they are letting their dog bark like this is probably purely because they are extremely inconsiderate. So in an impulsive fit of rage I contacted the apartment complex. I was planning on leaving a note on their door, but these are the thoughts that made me change my mind.

Oof. No. People who keep dogs in an apartment are deranged.

I agree.
