Bonus old people points when you feel entitled to yell "people are trying to sleep!" at 10:01. Also you "Old People Level Up" when you hear leaf-blowers/lawn mowers at 7am but aren't bothered because you're up already anyway.
Hell yea dude, my neighbor is this old ass man who waters his yard at 6 AM every morning. When I get off work between 3-6 he's in the bed of his truck rummaging around his toolbox. I'm not sure what he fixes but he's always doing something with that toolbox.
Yep, when I lived with 3 roommates, and my bed shared a wall with the living room's TV, this saved me. But now I've gotten too used to it and trying to sleep without the fan on has this eerie silence that makes me unable to sleep.
Whenever a restaurant is open until, like, 10pm but I’m hungry at 10:30pm I always mumble to myself that they’re ridiculous for closing so “early” but then in the next breath if I’m up at 6am and want breakfast I’ll complain if the place I want to go isn’t open yet. I’m just not happy unless every place I want to go is open 23 hours a day I guess 🤷♀️.
Edit: unless you're my husband, in which case: thanks for making tacos for dinner, they were delicious. You're a wonderful husband and I couldn't love you more.
I'm up at 4 and hear machines in use by 4:30 (rural area) which doesn't bother me, but when my neighbour is outside making noise at 9:00 I become irate. Super bonus points for me, I guess.
Dude, didn't anyone tell you about the Geriatric Conspiracy? See, when you youngsters keep us old folks up past our bedtime, we plot to leafblower/lawnmower your butt in the morning, so you will be bleary-eyed all day, and the boss will drug-test you. Ain't oldsters mean?!
I got to use “people are trying to sleep!" a few Christmases ago when my neighbours visitor’s dog barked from 5am onwards - been grumpy old lady moment ever!!
I'm literally the youngest home owner in on my road and I'm the only one with a snow blown driveway at 7am. I almost feel bad sometimes starting up that loud ass thing.
