Today, it's my first day-off for the holidays. Today is also the day they decided to start building a house next to mine. I can't sleep beyond 7 am. FML

Today, it's been three days since I started working 12-hour night shifts. My neighbors have now decided to renovate their house. They're focusing on the rooms sharing my wall. FML

Noise cancelling anyone?

Today, just like every workday for the last 6 months, the construction workers in my building made loud noises in the morning and woke me up almost 2 hours before I would otherwise have to get up. This will continue for one more year. I'm not a morning person, and I live in a protected historical building. FML

Today, I learned from the noise outside my window that construction workers start their days at 5 AM. FML

Today, and the 4 months preceding it, my neighbors had been remodeling their house, which meant jackhammer noises every morning. The one day they take a break, my other neighbor decides to start a remodeling project. It'll only be two more months of this. FML

Today, it's the first day in 3 weeks that I'm in my flat after 7 a.m. due to a very busy work schedule. I was looking forward to a Saturday lie-in. Also today, my flatmate's alarm clock went off loudly from 7:30 to 10:30. He's in another country and his door is locked. Bye bye lie-in. FML

Today, I took my first day off in 3 weeks just so I can sleep in. The office secretary woke me up at 7.12 am with a page wishing me a nice day off. FML

Today, and for the past two weeks, the people living directly above me have decided to add rearranging their furniture to their daily routines. Not only that but apparently, 6 a.m. is the most optimal time for them. FML

Today, I sleep during the day because I work nights. My neighbors have a very loud wedding and reception in their backyard including a live mariachi band. FML

And god forbid someone would want to have a nice house to live in. YDI for being so selfish.

oh shut up. after working so hard for such a long time, anyone would want just a little bit of rest. i doubt that you would be exactly happy in the same situation, so don't give this guy shit about him wanting to sleep.

I like the earplugs idea being thrown around. 7am drilling sucks I lived next to a road being blasted for a good solid 2 weeks and they helped immensly.

#39, you're a douche. You wouldn't be too excited after working and finally getting a holiday, if construction workers started up at 7 AM, waking you. Quit being a contradictory ass and go meet your short bus before it pulls off, leaving you again.

Hahaha. I've worked construction before, as my dad does it for a living. It's too damn bad if someone doesn't like it, he has a job to do. So no, I can get over it. OP obviously can't.
