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

Same thing different taste

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, 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

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

It's not likely that they'll remove it. I have neighbors with the brightest ass lights. I've considered asking them to take it down, till I realized it helps us by saving electricity, illuminating our front yard so much that we don't need our own lights. Win. Our blinds keep the lights out at night so it works for us. LOL. It makes us laugh because I know they did it to annoy us.

"Dear Homeowner's Association..." And, maybe a BB gun wouldn't be a terrible investment. So, yeah, FYL. As much as I love sleep, you have my sympathy. Good luck!!

My Grandparents have the same problem. The neighbours usually just leave their spotlights blazing all night and their bedrooms are constantly lit. Trying to ask them to change the position of the lights just results in my grandparents' walls being egged. People are so rude... *sighs*

Put up a mirror facing them as your new curtains.

Ok insects can't set off motion detectors. I'm an electrician. Stop making shit up.

Today, I went to my boyfriend's house, with whom I've been with for four years. I've been in Australia for the last two months and before I left, he bought a box of 12 condoms, saying we would use them when I got back. We went to the bedroom and I opened the box. There was one left. FML
