How offended would you be? Would you do something?

[property_girl]

Next time they do it, tell them that a neighbour who is a shift worker has complained to you about the yelling & honking, and ask him nicely that it might be a good idea to get out of the car and knock on his friend's door instead.

It's a reasonable request.

The fact is you live in a neighbourhood with families; not downtown close to pubs and nightclubs.

Idiots move into an area because they are attracted to the culture, then complain about the culture.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not condoning it, but isn't it everywhere?

People buy into an area because it's cheaper than surrounding suburbs, then lobby for the thing that made it a cheaper suburb to be closed down.

People move from overseas because they prefer our lifestyle, but then when they get here, want us to all change to their values & beliefs, which changes our lifestyle.

Horn the Horn?

It's engrish but not as we know it.

 

[perthguy]

To the OP... not acceptable.

Here's an idea. How about we turn the volume on the whole world down to zero. Then we're guaranteed that no one will be slightly inconvenienced by any sound, ever.

Someone was cutting bricks outside my window at 8 this morning while I was trying to sleep. Not nice. That's why there are council noise regs.

If we were hanging out having a beer, my initial reaction to hearing you say that to me would be 'Suck it up, princess' and to ask you if you wanted a Cosmo when it was my time to buy the next round.

Maybe compliment you on colour coordinating your lipstick with your heels, too.

What a lazy team of brickies. In most areas they can start at 7.00am or earlier.

8 is well within business hours sorry mate

We would not be hanging out having a beer

Just coz you cross dress doesn't mean you should assume everyone else does too

Yipes! How come morning people rule the world?

8 is well within business hours sorry mate

Oh yeah, I just looked up the council regs. "Noise from construction work is permitted during the hours of 7am to 7pm Monday to Saturday". Glad I'm not a shift worker.

 

[fullylucky]

That's not how you use that meme..

If I wasn't srs why would i post it 2 in the morning. Takes effort to type the responses.

 

[fullylucky]

English please.

2 in the morning cut me some slack.

 

[fullylucky]

Is this a real question?

yeah wheel. 700 views in under a day, and high response rate, of course wheel.

That's exactly how it's used. Posting a topic on something as small and petty as people honking their horns? What does posting it at 2 in the morning have to do with it? For all I know, you could be on your smoko working the night shift or be a night owl, like me. Or maybe on the other side of the world.

 

[fullylucky]

My in-laws do this and I hate it!

yeah i hate it as well, coz people could be resting or focusing on their task or studies and all of the sudden HONK!

also what about the shift workers? some people say that's why the get shift allowance their fault / misfortune for doing shift work. well... what about the nurses, engineers that have to work as operators 24 hr, service men and women etc. job requirement?

I really hate it. but im in between introvert and telling them to stop responses.

 

[D.T.]

Have you considered manning up?

 

[fullylucky]

It is illegal in NSW to use the car horn other than in an emergency and is annoying to local residents.

Don't know the serious level though?

i did a quick search online. not sure if it's NSWs or all of Australia.

http://www.carrentalbuddy.com.au/blog/quick-tip-using-your-car-horn-correctly

here says, it's illegal. other sites suggests if caught police can fine the person $66.

 

[fullylucky]

Bad attitude!

Neighbours could be shift workers like nurses, firemen etc trying to sleep during 'wake up hours'!

Everyone has the right to quiet enjoyment and not have to put up with unnecessary noise if it does not warrent it.


pinkboy

Couldn't agree more.

 

[datto]

Standard practice in Mt Druitt. Comes with the complimentary screeching of the tyres. One Thing that is really childish though is when they yell "yeehah" out the window. Totally unnecessary.

 

[fullylucky]

But still below whether you want to complain about night time noise if you choose to live in the city between a pub & a nightclub.

It's not city. please read OP correctly.

 

[fullylucky]

Horn the Horn?

you know what I mean man. honk the horn. same diff.

fullylucky, you're a spin out, bro. Okay so you hate it, fair enough. I hate the way my next door neighbour is constantly (as in, all day, every day) chastising his pets and doing it in a whiny, girly b_tch voice. Imagine the most insanely naggy, whiny voice you possibly can and that's him. But I keep my opinion to myself and deal with it.

The world doesn't revolve around you. There are other people out there, doing their thing and annoying *someone* while they're doing it, completely oblivious to the fact that that person is annoyed. You do it, too. If you want silence, go and live on a farm (that doesn't have any animals).
