Cool story but doesn't change the fact that the vast majority dont

Okay... but I'm saying that it shouldn't be a big deal if they do. Sunday labour laws are outdated.

Depends where. German trade laws generally don't allow shops (other than small convenience/gas station type) to open on Sunday. UK has 1/2

PS: the EU's Working Time Directive stipulates a "weekly rest of 24 hours uninterrupted" for all workers, but it doesn't specifiy what day.

As a night-shift nurse, weekdays are the only days I have off. I don't get to scream at anyone making noise.

I don’t know... the guy said they started “a bit early,” if they started before 8 I would be pissed too.
NickRivieraMD
no undoing that now, fair enough to complain about that and demand they not do it again, but that's not what she's saying.
malarkyirl
It's British English, "a bit early" means 07:53, not 03:45.
OnlyBones
As an American, I would consider "a bit early" to be 10-15 min as well. I wish there were more to this video
malarkyirl
Of course sure, just a bit of teasing of the Yanks :)
leperoutcastunclean
Depends on what "starting" means. Did they start climbing up on the roof at 7:43 and haul everything up there, and then start making 1/?

ShadowbanMyAss
And on a sunday, i thunk the guys are perfectly at fault. How can you do construction on a sunday?
theresgarlicinthatnebula
When else are you going to do it?
FabulousBadass
You have to work around the weather. If it's good on a Sunday you do the job, 'cause Monday it might be storming.
Kehy
Double time money. Also when working at an airport, it's a slower travel time on the mornings
LeviathanOmega
Perhaps the client would prefer for them to do work when they're actually at home? And the client works full time?
ShadowbanMyAss
What the client would prefer has no baring on what is allowed
LeviathanOmega
Except the workmen are right in this case. They had to apply for a permit from the council. They have the permit. As you said 'tough titties
ShadowbanMyAss
Having a permit does not make things right
BlueskydragonFX
It's common here in the Netherlands. If workers want they can and get double salary. Stores open at Sunday too. But there's resistance
CpnCanada
A very large proportion of consumer stores and services are open on Sundays here in Canada.

The legal time to start construction work is 7 they sre legally allowed to like it or not
AlexjoneswatchingTporn
Itsbnot there day off is it they need money so in their mind you can fuck off which I think is fine they are working legally
AlexjoneswatchingTporn
In England construction can legally start at 7 if its loud
dottorkim
Regardless, Sunday morning at 8! I know they are following the city rules. But these rules are nonsense

Sunday it's a good day for working. Less traffic, less congestion from other trades and people

small companies to stay competative with larger corps has to work when they can. Or they lose clients and thusly pay.

SkogensKung
I've seen worse things that was real. I mean, like the woman who called the cops because someone had a bbq?
dashers
Anybody who has had the misfortune to go outside can probably attest to people like this existing, making this video very believable.
BluePaladin42
I had a neighbor (I am in the States) who ABSOLUTELY acted like this. She also snooped around people's yards and took photos of inside-
BluePaladin42
-their homes. She was about the age of the woman in the vid too. So, yeah it's satire but people really do be like that sometimes.
Eiriktrollet
I worked on a construction site on a sunday once. Hit a metal rod three times with a hammer, then someone called the police.
LlamaEaters
I think it's worth mentioning if it is staged, given that I don't mind it as a satirical video.
losCHUNK
It did sound like something lifted from an episode of corrie
HedonistBeard
Because it's very common to have experienced something similar enough to know this is entirely realistic behavior for some people.
ICantThinkOfAU
I think it’s more the way she moves and talks. Guess if you’re not used to the accent then it’s harder to tell how obviously acted it is
jessybisquette
She's an angry old narcissist pretending that what she wants is the greater good, if she's acting she deserves the Oscar.

Mate the post above literally says it was meant as a joke and isn’t real. Again it could just be an accent thing. It looks very staged to 1/
