    I have a rule that if my noise a problem for someone they will come and let me know and I will stop it immediately.

    It hasn’t happened yet.

        It’s not my job to think constantly if my every minor single action can offend or inconvenience someone. Cmon that would be insane

        If someone has a problem with my pyjama outdoors then they can tell me and I probably will consider it for a while like a second and then idk get a notification and forget probably if I am being honest. But I tried to take it into consideration your valuable opinion on my outfit. I really did try. It’s called living in a society, we need to care

          I think you can find a middle ground between “I assume they’d come and politely discuss it” and “I think constantly whether my every single minor action can offend someone”.

          Are you saying you perform zero mental calculus to determine these sorts of things? You do not consider laws, social norms, or even morals? Where do you draw the line? If there is a literal community fruit tree at a park near your house, would you take all the fruits until people ask you to leave some for them? If you are driving home and you see a house with a beautiful garden, would you stop and steal some of the plants because the resident should tell you not to? Would you practice your guitar at 3am with an amp because, who knows, maybe your neighbors actually enjoy it or maybe they sleep with earplugs and since you had a great musical idea at 3am, you should “be bold” and “take what’s yours” and they should tell you 3am is a stupid time to play guitar with an amp?

          Did you also say you live in a homogeneous community of somewhat assholes and you think you’re being bold by also being an asshole?

            I would do all these things and probably wouldn’t even blink and forget about it few hours later.

            In fact I have done such petty stuff innumerable amount of times and worse. People say you can’t sleep or something. Bullshit, the key is to wake up early.

            Don’t even make me tell you about things I do when I was not sober. Though I don’t drink anymore cause it is unhealthy. I got lots of funny stories and insane tales. Good times.

            Honestly only through internet I realized most people are built different. I don’t know if it is cultural difference or something else but you are all so alien to me. It’s fascinating. I for example was like that as far back as I can remember and even worse. Much worse. Nowadays I am an all cute goodie good. Age has softened me. I am really agreeable nowadays. I even make a point to be nice to people.
            Should have seen me 15 years ago. You would probably be robbed out of your alcohol by me back then as It was my favourite trophy. I haven’t stolen a thing since 5 years, do you know how boring that can be? It’s almost insufferable.

            But no I am in a good citizen timeline now. Queer, wholesome lady artist is my current occupation.

              You might want to talk to a therapist because that is not a “cultural” difference.

              But if you don’t care that other people around you think you’re an asshole even if they’re not coming up to you and saying it, then there’s nothing anyone can say.

          I live in a safe area (not in the US), I know most of my neighbours at least somewhat but I wouldn’t ever confront them directly because I don’t know who’s on the other side of the door and how they deal with confrontation. It only takes one asshole to put me in the hospital because I dared tell them they were being too loud, even if 99% of my neighbours are sweet and caring.

    My neighbor used a leaf blower to dry his car after washing it at 7am on a Saturday. I don’t know that I will ever be able to like that man after this.

      When I am doing stuff at night I try to be as quiet as possible. The morning people could follow this until 11 am.

        Depending on location, it’s too freaking hot to be doing yard work anytime past 11 in the summer months. 9 - 11am is usually when I get my shit done.

        Then again, with my neighbors have a similar work schedule to me, so I guess I’m not bothering anyone.

          Mine isn’t much louder than a typical SUV going 35mph down the street outside my house, if at all.

          The town I live in has a railroad track running right down the middle, and at least two trains go by everyday (technically the same one going back and forth), is often overflown by military helicopters and we often hear artillery practice from the local army base rattling our windows. Combine this with the fact that a lot of my neighbors work odd hours, there isn’t a time of day to run a lawnmower when someone isn’t trying to sleep.

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

        Because a two-stroke engine that is more polluting than a full size SUV many times over making a lot of noise and releasing a lot of byproduct poisons into the air is vastly preferable to using a fucking rake. I think some boomers and junior boomers like the fact that they’re being noisy. grillman

    To be fair, doing my work around the house after worktime at 7PM weekdays is also not going to be very popular.

        It doesn’t excuse it, but sometimes you just gotta take drastic measures to drown out the intrusive thoughts… Or maybe covering up someone being tortured in the basement?

    Depends on what time, for me

    After about 10am is pretty fair game if a noisy job needs doing IMO. If it’s music and not obnoxiously loud, that’s probably fine too

    Anyone making any noise before that though absolutely should get in the sea

      10 am is way too late where I live. It’ll be >90 by then, and that’s a great way to get hear stroke. Most people in my neighborhood are out by 730 working.

    My neighbor is showering at 6 am on a Saturday morning. Is he working on the day when I get to chill?

    No he’s an out of touch asshole, not me.

    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.
