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?

Start mowing the lawns at 7am is a good retribution.
Not that I have ever lived next to any party animals though, nor a school nor a tennis court.

Move to the bush, although we do get the parrots squawking at 5am, the neighbours sheep bleating and their chooks clucking etc.

you could scatter acorns or walnuts on the pavement so the ball doesn't bounce the way he wants it too.
Or you could get super evil and tie a piece of fishing line across the path so they kiss the ground in front, but that might get you into all sorts of trouble, especially if you have to buy the phone talker new teeth or a new nose 😄

Virtually all processes generate noise. It is a part of most activities and includes an almost unlimited range of sources
from the singing of birds through to the hum of a power station. The response to noise by individuals can be as wide and
as varied as the number of activities that produce it.

No I did not. Do not change my post by enlarging and using bold lettering. YOU have changed the meaning of my post by doing that.
I was whingeing about my working life and being grateful that now I can sleep in. That is saying NOTHING about anybody else.
