About 15 years ago, my next door neighbor had his sweet wife leave him. He would drink excessively and become physically abusive. After she left him, he drank even more. One Sunday evening, my daughter wakes me to complain about the neighbor's loud music blasting. He must have come home drunk and decided to blast music. He didn't answer his phone. So, I dressed and walked over to his house. I pounded on the door to no response. I looked in a window to find him passed out on his sofa, beer cans covered his coffee table. I checked and found his garage door unlocked. I opened the door, went to the circuit breaker panel and threw the main breaker. I waited about 10 seconds and flipped it back on. Lights on, stereo off. Good. Back home to bed. The following evening, I had a conversation with the numbskull. Told him next time, I'll call the police and they will break down the door to check on him and turn off music. He thinks he's a tough guy when drunk. Even then, he could not fight his way out of a sewing class. He has devolved into a pitiful lump.
About a month later, he gets his second DUI. Then another. Is fired from his job with railroad. Within two weeks he gets a 4th, driving with a revoked license. He tossed in jail. His estranged wife refuses to bail him out. Family refuses as well. Wife moved back in, gets a restraining order. Husband is sentenced to 12 months minimum. Meanwhile, divorce is settled and wife gets the house, sells house, moves to Atlanta. New start for her. Hell on earth for him.
