Is your neighbour dual-wielding lawnmowers?

[–] blandfordforever@lemm.ee 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Don't be ridiculous. He has a lawnmower in one hand and a chainsaw in the other.

10am is my personal cut off. I won't mow the lawn or do anything loud until after then. My kids on the other hand are the wildcard.

My neighbor was practicing with a trumpet at 1 am last night.

Drunk trumpeting is a special joy

Neighbor cuts their postage stamp lawn with a loud lawn mower for 30 minutes. When they finish the next neighbor thinks to themself, 'I should cut my lawn', and starts a loud mower. When they finish the next neighbor starts. ALL Saturday. One after the other! Can't you all just do it at the same time! Why can't you use a push mower on a lawn that is smaller than a car parking spot! Why does it take you 30minutes, of using loud power tools, to cut a lawn the size of a car parking spot!!!

You don't need to leave a fuvking hemi running to 'warm up' 2m from a bedroom window on a weekend IN FUCKING MELBOURNE

Back in CA, there was a total grillman , appearance and all, that'd roll down the street in a golf cart with a massive sound system filling the entire rear behind his seat, and he'd blast out absolute trash dadrock with huge floor-shaking subwoofers, and do it all with this empty gammon grin behind his wrap-around polarized sunglasses, going back and forth at least twice a week around the same time.

He was still not as divorced as my-hero though.

He burned our crops, poisoned our water supply, and delivered a plague unto our houses

Are you one of those damn night people complaining about us morning people getting on with stuff in the limited time window we have?

Look how lucky you are. Mine desides 23:00 is the perfect time to start drilling.

Doing the lawn after dark seems so unwholesome. Which is annoying because I could use a 25° drop in temperature.

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

What about flying a kite in the dark?

And depending on the size of your lot, maybe you could use a reel mower. They're nearly silent!

You could also use a scythe, but that sounds like a lot more work.

[–] millie@beehaw.org 3 points 4 months ago

Moving blankets are a wonderful solution. Hang them over your windows and enjoy the quiet. Get thick ones. Uhaul has good ones.

[–] Mac@mander.xyz 3 points 4 months ago

That means you're all going to be quiet and mindful of us third-shifters, right?
...Right?

[–] brygphilomena@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago (11 children)

Mindful and considerate, yes. But that doesn't mean I put my entire day on hold for people that don't get up until 10 or 11.

8am is pretty reasonable start to the day for me.

But I also believe that people bitching and saying no loud noises before 10am are being just as selfish as the people who get up and do yardwork at 6am. If someone has a problem or some extraordinary reasons for wanting it to stay quiet later, they can talk to each other and try to find a compromise.

And out of 7 days, if you are only being inconvenienced for a couple hours maybe that's something you should be more tolerant of.

Out of 7 days these are the only two days most people can sleep past 8 and some people like sleeping. It is no different than consistently throwing late night parties during weekdays when most people have to wake up early the next day. There is a generally acceptable universal range which is no loud noises between 10pm to 9am. If you are the person who needs to make noise (such as the occasional party or repairs that need to start early etc) then it's you who should go and tell/ask the neighbours about it, not the neighbours who should come and convince you to reduce noise.

Ahh fack off. It costs you nothing to wait until 10 to fire up noisemakers

8am is pretty reasonable start to the day for me.

Almost your entire neighborhood is populated with people who are not you. Why do you get preference?
