WTH is wrong with people? Are they just so self absorbed that they dont think about other people or are they just plain rude?
In the last 4 months these are some of the rude people ive had to deal with
1. Woman likes to go for 6am walks up my street. She has her phone with headphones on. She holds the phone in front of her and yells into it the whole time she is walking. She is so loud she wakes all of my household up. I went out and asked her to stop. She now only does it on Sat and Sun mornings. How nice of her...NOT
2. Man likes to go for walks at 5:15am every weekday morning. No big deal apart from the fact that he bounces a basketball while walking. So at 5:15am on the dot we hear BOING....BOING....BOING....BOING. Hubby goes out and asks him to stop bouncing the ball and is told to "Bleep off. Its a free country"
3. Ive had to leave notes on 3 people cars who decide that rather than walk a small distance to the high school, they will just park across my driveway instead
4. Neighbours moved out of their house on the weekend. They must of decided that they didnt need the ugly metal drum that they used to keep their chook food in at their new house. So where do they leave it? On the grass area right out the front of my house. Hubby rolled it back down their driveway.
5. 9:30pm last night. Kids are in bed and hubby and I are watching Breaking Bad (great show) when all of a sudden we hear a loud motorbike noise outside. We wait a while so see if it goes away but it doesnt. We go take a look and a group of 4 adults have decided that 9:30pm would be a great time to take their mini, noisy as hell, motorbike for a ride on the tennis courts across the road from my house. I go over and say "Hey, i have kids trying to sleep in here." They respond with "So what?" I then say "I'll just go call the cops then." So they leave
I mean come on. WTH is wrong with these people?

If they are walking, they can't be that far away.
Find out what time they go to bed and create some noise every hour, on the hour the whole weekend.
They will soon get the message.
Note - just enoough noise to wake them but not enough to get the cops.
Like turning around using their driveway with the headlights on full beam and a little bit of engine noise.
Might want to warn the neighbours !!!

We chose this house because it was a quiet street but some years ago, the highway was put through and while that was happening, our street became the diversion.
Since then, it has stayed as a main thoroughfare for many locals and I hate it....... I am looking for something in a cul de sac...... away from schools and parks now.

There's a bit of difference between someone performing their job, and someone making noise just because they can.
I am slowly getting used to the noise of the trains and even sleep through some of them now. But the repetitive noise of a ball going blonk blonk blonk would drive me barmy at the best of times, and 5 a.m. is not the best of times

times are changing. not all people work 9 to 5.
with the exception of the motorcycle, you don't think they should be able to do everything that the rest of the population does.
i used to walk my dogs at 1am. and to hell with anyone who complains about me walking past there house
