Why the fucking fuck have we had massive fireworks for the last twenty minutes on Christmas fucking day?!

Why? We have had solid bangs for the last twenty minutes - who the hell goes out on CHRISTMAS DAY at 4.30pm for fucking fireworks?

I'm at my mum's and will probably now have to spend boxing day in the emergency vet if it's similar at home, because my cats don't cope well with fireworks and I stupidly assumed Christmas day was not a day for fireworks displays.

Edit for time!

I hate fireworks, my cats hate them and hide under the bed petrified. One cat is currently awol and I'm worried about what will happen if she doesn't find her way home by New Year's eve (I'm out searching multiple times a day).

Oh I'm so sorry, you must be very worried. Fingers crossed she's back ASAP.

Thanks for letting me rant! @XxSideshowAuntSallyx I hope yours makes it home soon! They are such a worry when they go wandering!

I don’t remember Slade being associated with fireworks. All that polyester would’ve turned them into roman candles.

There hasn’t been anywhere, didn’t know it was a Christmas thing.

It's Chriiiiissssstmaaaaasssss

AquaPeer · 25/12/2024 17:03

Because they like fireworks?

Birdscratch · 25/12/2024 17:02

There were some going off here on Monday night. It’s just bizarre.

Edited because it sounded like I was the one setting them off!

The Age of Selfishness...

Every time this happens I almost ache remembering time spent in Asian countries - mainly Japan - where such behaviour is almost unconscionable.

Fucking idiots, that’s who.

Because people are inconsiderate morons.
