So on the 4th you expect fireworks to be shot off in the neighborhood. No big deal. But at what point is it too late? I've got people shooting LOUD fucking mortars off at 1:30 in the morning by me. I've got a sleeping 2 year old and a dog who thinks it's WW3 outside.

If your shooting fireworks off at that time of night you're just an asshole right?

Yes, that is a dick move. The trashy neighbors down the street blew a ton up in the middle of the road and left all of the bullshit from them right in the street.

Yup.

I would say the window is 8-10ish. Any later, and you have to respect folks with babies/children, etc. I was annoyed at the people in my neighborhood doing it at 1:30 AM as well...on july 3rd.

This is why I always save a quarter stick for the morning after.

That asshole neighbor from last night is about to get a rude awakening.:smug2:

That's a great idea, considering your waking up all your innocent neighbors as well.

I just walk up to them and ask them to stop. Works every time.

Being a passive little ***** never helped anything.

This x1000

LOL. I hope you're not calling me a passive little *****. For the record I did walk up to them and told them to cut it out. The guy didn't give a shit so I sat there and called the police while they watched. They stopped at that point. (The police had already been called by the time I called anyways. I really hope they got a ticket)

Ask =/= told

Computers like commands, people do not. These are your neighbors after all, you have to live with them until you/they move. May as well be "neighborly", even if they're shitheads.

The majority of my neighbors annoy me with their fart can cars and loud music every single night(see worst city thread).

Sunday AM wake-up calls should be a weekly event.:lol:

Maybe so but at 1:30 AM when my family is trying to sleep you're not going to get me in my best mood. I'm not going to apologize for being upset at that time of night.

Fair enough.

My house is insulated well, and most walls have added soundproofing on top of the rammed earth. So I haven't been bothered. I guess if I were while trying to sleep, the tone could change.

Perhaps you need to learn how to deal with your emotions/people a little better.

Vinegar/honey?

LOLz @ "I hope"

Maybe. :shrug:

Let's work on it....

I'd like to very calmly, and politely, tell you to go **** yourself.

Better?

Pro tip - bring beers when asking a neighbor for something.

The funny thing is if this guy was doing this at 10:30 I probably would have brought a beer over. The shit he was shooting off was awesome. It was simply the time of day that was the issue for me. I know some of you are probably thinking 1:30 no big deal but when you have kids and a wife who has to be at work at 8AM then it does become an issue.

Yup, definitely an asshole move. The places where fireworks are temporarily legal around here, the cut off is at midnight. I think even that's a little late...
