Does having pets or young children entitle someone to wake up the street at 7am on the weekend?
They do have a young child, as do our neighbours next door. And there are plenty of pets/dogs in surrounding houses. No problems with any of those. Kids crying for example is out of patents control (sort of) anyway. Booking a 7am delivery every weekend is an active choice which I personally find to be unsociable. A fair point, or perhaps it bothers people but they've never mentioned it. By the way, I'm not saying I'd "complain" maybe just mention it in passing and suggest it's a bit early. Then the balls in their court once they know it bothers someone...
This is actually useful to know. We use Ocado and it's a 1hr slot, therefore I was thinking a 7-8am slot is just that little bit excessive. If they're booking a 2hr slot maybe they've been unlucky for the last few weeks.
What do you want, a medal?
I did night shifts for 5 years, it's part of the reason I don't sleep well actually. Never again.
What makes an early riser "sensible" exactly? Doctors say you should be getting 7.5hrs of sleep a night. So to flip it around my neighbour is essentially dictating that I need to be in bed by 11.30pm on a Friday night right? Lol. I'm betting most of the people in here are never in bed by then, let alone on a Friday night when you want to wind down after a long week of work, I dunno have a few beers, have a late pizza and watch a movie or something. My last street was full of "sensible" people where everyone respected others slightly different timeframes and trimming hedges etc, washing cars probably never started before 9am at the weekend.
No, but you have to get used to the idea that we live in a 24/7 society, just because you no doubt have a nice 9-5 office job a lot of people work all hours and you moving into a new road and then throwing your weight around isn't going to make you Mr Popular.
If you read the thread properly I have anything but. The latter part of my day is very busy because my office in LA wake up and start working at 4-5pm UK. I was on calls until 8pm on Friday just gone which isn't unusual (annoying for a Friday mind), and I also deal with a lot of people in different countries and timezones. I'm not looking for sympathy as it's just the way my job is and I'm perfectly happy with it... But you did ask. Having done 5 years of nightshifts I'm also well used to the idea of a 24/7 society. However I was brought up to avoid doing things that might possibly put others out, have the potential to annoy them etc. especially your neighbours. Therefore if I wanted my weekly shop to come on a Saturday morning I'd guess after 8am is more suitable if only because it's just that little bit nicer to your neighbours. Sounds like half the people in this thread weren't brought up that way...
I'm in bed for 10pm every day. My point is why should someone dictate you need to be quiet at 7am but be okay with noise at 9pm.
