FREAKING FIREWORKS

65 replies

DerelictWreck · 01/01/2019 00:00

Would anyone like to join me in my nye grumpiness at ALL THE FREAKING FIREWORKS that are currently causing a din outside my flat?

I mean, I know it's NYE but fuck off! I want to be asleep not listening to your shitty but loud displays, oh neighbours of mine and central London

Lighthearted btw before anyone jumps on me.

Yes, fuck off!! I would’ve liked to have gone sleep a few hours ago.

ilostitoverthiz · 01/01/2019 00:03

I want to sleep Sad. They need to fuck off I agree

100% do not believe the general public should be allowed to purchase fireworks & there’s no reason for them to be noisy! Angry

Applepudding2018 · 01/01/2019 00:04

I really like fireworks. Unfortunately my poor dog hates them.

EmmaJR1 · 01/01/2019 00:04

The bloody things are setting the baby monitor off so I'm now awake. If they set the baby off too I shan't be pleased!!!!

han01uk · 01/01/2019 00:05

I'm with you! Up in 5 hrs for a 14 hr shift in NICU 😱

HiveStickyFloors · 01/01/2019 00:05

An absolute a grade arsehole has been setting them off since 11.30. Babies now awake thanks to the BANG. FUCK YOU you inconsiderate cockwomble.

hmmwhatatodo · 01/01/2019 00:07

I’m not really bothered about the fireworks, I imagine they’ll mostly be finished in the next 20 mins or so, it’s all the noise and carry on that will go on for probably the next few hours. I anticipate being woken around 3am by some inconsiderate people feeling the need to have a shouting conversation.

thugmansion · 01/01/2019 00:08

I'm babysitting DGCs. If they wake them up I'm going over there with a fucking machete

katiescarlett1939 · 01/01/2019 00:08

I'm convinced people have been able to purchase louder/more powerful ones in recent times.

Someone along the way from me has just had a full-on professional-type display. DH is lying on the utility room floor in the dark, cradling our terrified dog...

Wolfiefan · 01/01/2019 00:09

7 hours of the fuckers so far. And tonight was the night DD’s bloody curtain rail fell down. Expect she will be up in a bit.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 01/01/2019 00:12

Oh I know. Its the same here. FFS we get it. Its 2029.

DerelictWreck · 01/01/2019 00:12

I don't mind the noise and carry on as earplugs will keep me asleep. Don't work for fireworks that go off literally outside your building.

Doesn't help that I'm just now realising I might have some residual hang up from the drunken coke-fuelled arseholes who shot fireworks at our holiday cottage last year, narrowly missing the gas canisters outside...

I'm a little on edge!

It's awful. My poor dog is sedated and still terrified. I can't believe these bloody things are still legal. They're gunpowder for god's sake. I feel like crying.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 01/01/2019 00:13

2019 I mean. Mind you it probably will be 2029 by the time. These fire works have stopped poppin off. Grin

sunshineandshowers21 · 01/01/2019 00:14

the people opposite us have been setting them off all night! my poor dog is shaking like a leaf and my baby won’t settle at all.

coppercolouredtop · 01/01/2019 00:14

yes please fuck off. ta.

PodgeBod · 01/01/2019 00:15

Fireworks started going off at 8pm leaving the 2yo terrified. DP had to take her for a drive at 11.30 to finally get her to sleep! Never seen her so scared. Hate the things.

CleverWittyUsername · 01/01/2019 00:18

It's ridiculous here. Been going off randomly since about 6, then ramped up at 11 (why??? Just wait til midnight!) and currently got huge booming and whizzing ones. Kids upset, cats upset, I want to sleep! I couldn't sleep before as it was so noisy, so hoping they don't drag on much longer.

BBTHREE76 · 01/01/2019 00:18

Agreed! I am in bed and want to go to sleep but the noisy bastard fireworks have stopped me. 😡😡😡😡😡😡. I also have noisy hiccups now 😳. So loud that that my hubby downstairs is sending me WhatsApp messages taking the piss. ☹️

barnacharmer · 01/01/2019 00:21

3 year old DD has woken up terrified twice tonight. Arseholes

sweetkitty · 01/01/2019 00:25

In Scotland we used to hear the church bells ringing in the New Year, can’t hear them now for the fucking fireworks, been cuddling the dog all night.

spudlet7 · 01/01/2019 00:26

Yep. Bloody hate them. Small baby and PTSD husband do not make for a firework friendly me! 😡

Lokisglowstickofdestiny · 01/01/2019 00:27

My cat is currently hiding in the loo. Fireworks been going on since 7pm - twats

ManicUnicorn · 01/01/2019 00:28

It sounds like the Blitz outside here and has done all night, some of them actually sound like bombs going off.
