My alarm goes off for a 12 hour shift in 7 hours. It's Thursday night. Why are some people so unbelievably inconsiderate.

No I can't use earplugs or I wouldn't hear my 5am alarm

Use a vibrating alarm. Also likely your earplugs will have loosened by 5am enough to hear the alarm.

Earplugs and vibrating alarm that goes under your pillow

A vibrating alarm wouldn't wake me, I'm exhausted after an already 40 hour working week.

On a Thursday evening most people have work the next day.

That doesn’t mean they’re in bed at 10pm. I work every day too but I don’t think I’ve been in bed at 10pm since about 1989.

It's so unusual to have good weather and people want to enjoy it. Can you not use some earplugs?

It’s only 10 o’clock. It’s nice weather, I’d just let it go at this hour!
