In all seriousness, probably their dads, and guess what's happening with the next generation

We used to live across the street from a public tennis court and a few times a year they would have to regravel it I think. And The noise ordinance in our city technically it's 7:00 a.m. and they would start on the dot.

oh man, i feel for you. my last cityā€™s noise ordinance was 7a to 10p! they were constantly jack hammering electrical poles to the point where i was finishing my dissertation thinking, ā€œsurely someone hired these people to ensure i donā€™t finishā€ šŸ˜‚šŸ„²

OMG there was the most awful ongoing work in Dorchester when I was finishing my MA thesis. Same thought.

I'm having that dilemma right now, because we're 5 minutes from 9am, the front lawn needs to be mowed, it is currently 82 degrees outside, and I know if I wait one more hour it will go up by another 9-10 degrees... I don't want to be THAT neighbor, but I also don't want to sweat that much.

What about using a self propelled mower? They dont make noise well not more than a fan

After a week of fireworks I donā€™t really care.

If I ever see someone unloading an old manual reel push mower at a yard sale, I'll probably pick one up as a backup. Silent, and no fuel requirement.

Iā€™m with a bunch of friends right now and I woke up at 5:30 on the dot and immediately started banging around making coffee, everyone else is still asleep and will be for hours yet

ahah, did you start making noise to wake them bc you canā€™t stand to be alone?? (youā€™re now the stand in for all noise making, early rising men, congrats)
