My local assholes were doing fireworks until after 2am. I had to get up at 6. I am not happy today.
motokeith
Can you please keep your dogs and children quiet this morning. Some of us were up all night shooting fireworks.
depressedscientist
Ugh. I feel ya. I’m a troubleshooter for the power grid and my neighbors were setting off black powder mortars until midnight. Getting up at 4am today was rough
GeneralPrower
I live right at the edge of my city limit. A few years ago, some guys up the road ran out of fireworks and decided to start detonating 55 gallon drums filled with Tannerite.
MiNameIsInigoMontoya
I’ll accept your humble brag. Nothing wrong with being proud of what you do.
zugz003
I haven't had a decent nights sleep for a week; toss around from hot & humid air or constant brrr of window AC compressor trying to keep up. First night in a while I could open the windows, and outside reeks of sulfur. Neighbors still shooting them off.
ItsACrazyWorld
Pretty sure I have a firework maker in my neighbor because for the last 4 years this fucker sets one off between 12pm and 3am every other day or hes just a giant asshole who likes to set shit on fire. Also I live near Vandenberg Airforce base, they also like to launch rockets at 3am. So I feel your pain.
AustimousPrime
Yeah, I'm not happy. It's currently 2:43 where I am, and some asshole is still firing em off. Just stop at 10, be a little respectful.
agburanar
My neighbor at the end of the street started at 830 and stopped at 930. The professional show about 6 miles away started at 930 and ran till just after 10. And Somebody the next street up started at 1045 and went till midnight at least.
NZSheeps
Your neighbours
andydicktracymorganfairchild
Oh shit I can't wait to watch that! Thank you for making it pop every year! Tennis is awesome to watch.
Gherkincensed
I mean it's alright, certainly more fun to play
voiceofnightvale
My neighbors have been going since 7pm and they haven’t quit yet
BentwanJameson
I started hearing them around noon, and they didn't stop until at least midnight. Bunch of assholes in my town.
TheoryOfRelativeTea
One of the only good things about living in an area with a burn ban. No fireworks. We've already had 3 small wildfires this year alone.
TI99Kitty
Psh. Around here, burn bans mean nothing on July 4th. We've had almost no rain in over a month. All the grass is brown and dried out, and people still set off fireworks.
Them3OtherGuys
OH I'M SORRY SNOWFLAKE, DID MY FREEDOM CANDLES AND FREEDOM WATER-DRINKING KEEP YOU FROM BEING LESS WOKE??? (--my neighbors, probably)
SonOfChicken
I'm sorry for your police force.
EMTsaidwhat
My neighbor spent a few thousand dollars on fireworks, the mortar kind, and happily lit up the street like a chump who bought a used gold prospect.
PutItInNeutral
Rain came through just after 10pm and put the whammy on all the fireworks going off over here. Before that, it sounded like Fallujah during the Bush administration over here.
mybunsarestale
Ditto with the rain. Unfortunately, .y poor dog is traumatized by fireworks and so wouldn't calm down enough to go out and potty until nearly 2am. Thunder probably wasn't helping either.
PutItInNeutral
Our pupper was none too chuffed at the noise. She didn't know if she wanted to bark at em or whine at em.
IHaveGreatKittenRecipes
My neighbour just set off a trash bag full of acetylene gas. Bout blew out the windows doing it. Happy Fourth! Thankfully he's done for the night. Only just after midnight, think we got lucky.
Surisuule
My neighbors had an explosion that sent the finale into their party deck and house. The fireworks stopped then for some reason. They had a pallet series ready and they had only just started.
Ellisd83
I call bullshit op if youre from queens you should be used to shit like this
kbowser
From ct. We travel to the city
thelegendofthetwistednavigator
If you work on tennis courts, surely you want racquets?
rahbeNoodleBandit
She sells artisanal toothpaste, he paint the tennis courts at the us open. Their budget: 7 million dollars.
BumbleBeeBeardedGingerBear
I lived in a country without firework restrictions and even they had the decency to wrap shit up by 1-2 am but many of my neighbors were still going strong until after 3. Like I get it, but its fucking Wednesday now for everyone.
fanofrace
I had to get up at 430 the next day I thought it was gonna be miserable. Man for what ever reason I slept like a baby. It does help I use a box fan and play rain on my phone lol oh and maybe the half a tablet of benadryl.
Carlillo
Don't go mowing the lawn at 630am specifically this Saturday. That would be soooo rude and unfair.. even less so in a pattern that reads "suck it".
PeteyVonWho
As someone who doesn't really care for fireworks anyway, the fact that they scare my dog just makes me hate them even more now.
nothinginthevoiceofthecicada
So now the tennis community wants us to stop with all our racket. The hypocrisy
drduffer
Hey! Have you all ever considered different colored lines for the aesthetics, @OP? How about magenta? Puce?
AlwaysUpvoteBunnies
GrandPubabofMoldistan
Every 15 minutes? There was a group that went to the area near my house and fired probably 100 fireworks overr an hour
Soufange
For the next. Four. Days. God dammit
DadOnTheInternet
Wooooo America!
johnlong03
Have a neighbor that sets them off all year round. Winter, summer, spring, fall. Doesn't matter. Also, doesn't matter if it is 2PM or 2AM, they will set them off. Cops do jack shit (shocker, I know). People. What a bunch of bastards.
wvsmc2003
Around here it starts around June 27 and goes until July 8 or until supplies last
SnarfyMcSnarferson
Only 4 days? Must be nice
matthias451
Yah it started several days ago for me and if it's like last year there is a good 2 weeks of regular night explosions to go
vegivamp
If only they would tell people beforehand when they intend to celebrate their independence with loud fireworks all night, then you could schedule your work accordingly. How very inconsiderate of them.
Sizzlord
Bong rip and a beer did wonders for me
BurrhusBacchus
You get up at 3AM to paint a tennis court for a tournament that starts in nearly 2 months? That's dedication
gonzar09
Yeah, I have to get up that early almost every day for the Post Office. Sometimes, earlier than that, and almost always with less than 4-5 hours of sleep. At least I'm inside, I guess.
CandidGamera
Ah, the yearly bet how the imgur hivemind swings on July 4th: "Fuck your fireworks, be considerate of pets and people with PTSD!" or "Fuck you snowflakes Imma blow up half my street and you can't stop me!"
Hotsauceman
Okay that sounds cool. Have you tried sleep earbuds from Bose?
Bonezz79
They've been discontinued
kbowser
I need to hear my 7 alarms
discotheque42
Or just earplugs for like 50 cents a pop. Bose everything is expensive.
FoxeyMcFoxFace
I use ear plugs every night because I am a very light sleeper. They only filter so much and did nothing for me when my neighbors set off fireworks, that sounded like they were in my backyard, at 2am last night (or early this morning really)
BladeTurMoiL
Yeah at that point your whole body is an ear drum. You feel the noise. Cant block that with earplugs lol
wookietiddy
I walked outside to get a cart from my car, because it's the only place my dogs can rest when there are loud noises. FUCK fireworks.
joot
Fuck inconsiderate neighbors. Some of the fireworks sound like goddamned bombs. I hate these people so much.
wookietiddy
I live in the city too. They aren't supposed to go more than 10' off the ground, yet artillery shells ALL NIGHT. Why have rules of nobody is following them?
joot
All of them are illegal in my county, but there is no attempt at enforcement, and therefore no point to the law.
wookietiddy
Yup.
carriedeservedbetter
Agreed. One of those days my heart is going to stop after a particularly loud one. They already skip a beat
