　　7. The Annoyed Neighbor

　　If you can't beat them, join them. This is the most apt phrase for anyone who is unfortunate enough to be neighbors with people described above. Since the neighbors have been singing nonstop since 12nn, might as well join their off-key singing. If your next-door buddies² do it every weekend and if every time they do it, you also counter by starting your own karaoke session, chances are, the karaoke fever will get to you. Pretty soon, you are not singing your heart out to annoy them, you're doing Taylor Swift versions or God forbid, Justin Bieber covers, because you want to! Karaoke for the sheer love of karaoke!
