Today, my neighbors got a motion sensor light that points at my window. It's so sensitive that it goes off every time an insect flies past. FML

You light up my life

Today, I can’t sleep because the moon is full. No, wait, that’s actually the floodlight from the neighboring farm shining in my window. Apparently, they thought it a good idea to hook the thing up to a motion detector, so the cats and mice can play disco lights at midnight. FML

Today, my neighbor, who has 4 video cameras pointed at the front of my house, got a drone that’s now hovering over my backyard. FML

Today, I installed motion sensor lights in my house to save on energy. When I laid down in bed, I saw the lights turn on from downstairs to the kitchen. I live alone. FML

Today, the neighbor's dog has been barking for over 5 hours. It is barking directly at my window. FML

Today, I learned that my new neighbour's car alarm goes off every time a car drives by blasting loud bass. So far, it's gone off 6 times in the last hour. I can't wait until he's done moving in here, where he and his car will stay for the next year. FML

Today, after coming home from school, I found that two birds had made a nest above the porch light. This wouldn't be a problem if they stopped attacking me every time I get within 5 feet of them. FML

Today, my neighbors left for their nine month excursion, and armed their security system. One of the features is a loud series of three beeps every three seconds, 24 hours a day. I can hear it, clear as a bell, throughout my entire house. FML

Today, I fell asleep on the couch. My parents didn't wake me up, went to bed and set our burglar alarm. If I trip a motion sensor, a siren will go off. The motion sensor in my living room is pointed directly at me and I have to pee. It's been 2 hours. FML

Today, about to fall asleep, a bug started buzzing behind the screen to my window. Losing my sanity, I punched the screen, forgetting all about the glass. I now have a cracked window and one still annoying bug. FML

Today, my dad put in wall plug-ins that emit high frequencies that are suppose to ward off mice. I must be a mouse, because I can hear the annoying noise in every room I walk into. FML

That wasn't an insect. It was a ninja.

Get some curtains or move your bed so the light doesn't bother you.

Lakeview Terrace comes to mind. Your neighbor wouldn't happen to be a cop with a bad reputation would he?

Replace your window with a mirror and make sure the light hits your neighbours' bedroom window.

It points at your window but it's on THEIR house, so just think how much more annoying it is for them every time it goes off. I think they'll likely remove it on their own.

Well, generally, you point a motion light AWAY from your house, so the neighbors are most likely oblivious to the fact that it's driving OP crazy.

Ugh, my neighbors have a bright light in one of their windows (inside the house) that they just NEVER TURN OFF and my blinds can't shut it out. And in my old house my window faced the streetlight. I feel your pain bro and/or sister. :(

and why do they have it pointed at your window exactly? are they like the neighborhood snitch, and you're the one who always sneaks out the window at night? lol.

Today, I discovered why my new boyfriend likes his sex slow and loving, like super slow. It’s because, despite being in shape, he’s so unfit that if he tries to go hard and fast he struggles to breathe and passes out on top of me. Guess my love life is limited to one mile an hour now. FML
