If I were in the city, I suppose I could stretch my imagination into thinking it was some kind of construction noise and go my merry way.
First time I heard roofers "bouncing" their pneumatic nail guns, I alerted for a few seconds until I saw what was happening.
But, yeah, if it don't fit the narrative, it's a dog bites man item.
Frankly, I 'm starting to think we're carrying that cheek-turning dictum to an illogical extreme.
