Come on, it’s a holiday (day off) for fuck sake. Why do you have to be out there at 7am pounding nails? Selfish prick, shows zero respect for the neighbours. It’s a renovation. You are not without shelter, so what is the bloody rush that you can’t let your neighbours enjoy a little peace and quiet to sleep in. Would it really kill you to wait til 9? And this is definitely not the first time. You are showing everyone around you a pattern of complete selfishness. But then who cares? After all this is your neighbourhood not mine, right? —Just Want Those Extra Z’s

It’s not a stat holiday. It’s not a day off for everybody.
hey OP, any stones in your pocket? have you ever played your music louder than a whisper? come home at midnight and slammed the car door? dropped your keys and swore loudly? smoked skunk outside? BBQ’d something? talked on your cell phone walking up the sidewalk? let your alarm screech for 15 minutes while you were in the shower? set off your smoke? said goodbye to friends on the front porch at 1am?
it’s all only selfish when someone else does it.
I worked today. There was construction everywhere as well. Not everyone has the luxury of an extra day off. Its not like its Christmas, So calm the eff down OP and get some earplugs if you need your beauty sleep that bad. Your as bad as the people that whine about others doing this work on Sundays. Some of us have to make our living on days that you get to sit on your ass.
i worked and drove around, it was a gorgeous day
Some of us had to work today while your ass got to stay in bed. Suck it up, you whiny fucking baby.
wasn’t it though PG? this morning hike was pure bliss. warm breeze from the south, sea sparkling, noofers leaping thru the thickets. tomorrow am should be similar. made the day’s work start very nicely. heck, every day started with the dogs running starts nicely.
It wasn’t a holiday for many OP. Besides there aren’t that many daylight hours in which to work especially with such nice weather. You should have had tea on the veranda OP!
if you would have checked your calendar o.p., you would have seen the this so called holiday was on sunday the 11th. as it was meant to be. only lately has our idiot gubment decided to settle it on the following day, today. being as it conflicted with the church flakes that whined and moaned about any holiday, taking part of their day off. so they cried and dumb nuts big brother listened and made it an official act.
And when did Remembrance Day become a holiday (usually a celebration)? At one time it was known for what it was, an observance.
Agree Bro Tim.
Your neighbour should have to start 2 hours later (and therefore finish 2 hours LATER) all because you want to sleep in? Aww, muffin! Get some ear plugs and shut the fuck up.
What day did this travesty take place? Remembrance day was the 11th and some place had either the 9th or 12th off …. wtf, should the as-you-call-them “selfish prick” put off doing their maintenance until it suited you?
Now who looks like a selfish prick? Huh-huh, YOU!
Actually, based on the noise bylaw, which exlpicitly mentions the day…
Prohibited times for excessive noise:
On a Sunday,
Statutory Holiday or Remembrance Day until nine o’clock in the forenoon (9:00 a.m.) and after
seven o’clock in the afternoon (7:00 p.m.)
You could have had them written up with a fine
For the first offence to a penalty of not less than Three Hundred Dollars ($300.00) and
of not more than ten thousand dollars ($10,000.00) or imprisonment for a period of not
more than one year or both, including the imposition of the minimum fine;
the bylaw doesn’t apply to the day given off for remembrance day that’s why it’s given a special note in the bylaw as the day itself.
they can start pounding at 7am for better or worse
You are right on that one Funny
Troo is right, tea on the veranda would have been a nice idea–and OP could have used headphones to wakey-wakey with some sweet tunes, tea, and a super beautiful morning…..way chill as opposed to way pissy (this coming from a ‘night person’)…..then again, i can sleep through just about anything; but it is nice not to involve ‘the man’ or your cranky side, if ya don’t have to;)
Speaking of HOLIDAY ….. where the fuck is Mod?
My thoughts exactly, Koda!
We get no bitches get posted on the weekends, but nothing on tuesday or wed?? Seriously, let us know if you’re taking a vacation…
Considering that it’s a free site that we use of our own volition, Mod. don’t owe us nothin’.
Either suck it up or develop a rich inner life. >: )
Mod? Where the fuck is the Coast?
It’s 3:37pm on THURSDAY and no new bitches? WTF? Someone sleeping on the job or is this rag starting to finally die (I’ve heard rumours…)?
Monday=not a holiday
You need to actually speak to your neighbour.
Go on, you can do it!
