Last night, after I went to bed I was woken up around 11:30pm by Leena yelling... I opened my eyes and saw she had the front door open and was yelling out into the stairwell at someone. After she closed the door I groaned "HUH?" and she told me Mrs. R's servants were out there drilling and hammering something, so she yelled at them to not make noise like that so late at night when people are trying to sleep.
Then this morning when she went to go out running errands, one of her car tyres was completely flat. One that was completely full yesterday evening when she and the watchman cleaned the car, after which the car didn't move an inch.
She got the car to her family's house, after lots and lots of people stopped her on the road to tell her not to drive it that way, and had one of her family's servants take the tyre to be repaired. He came back with it fixed and a broken key that had been stuck into the tyre to its full length!
And this isn't the first such coincidence. Most of the times if Leena asks any of the neighors' servants and workers to make less noise, at hours reasonable enough to ask them to make less noise, usually late at night or very early in the mornings, then there's usually new scratches on the car.
It's just one more reason I want to get away from here, someplace where this sort of thing doesn't happen, where neighbors, even if they don't like each other, at least have a bit more respect for one another. And there aren't a bunch of uncouth assholes who take petty revenge against reasonable requests.
