To shout at people who let fireworks off?!

[sltorres9]

A Load of fireworks have just gone off, my baby woke up crying, I've raced out of the house to the house where they were being Let off, I said "if you let one more firework off before the 5th november" I'll shove that firework so far up your arse ?? now three dogs in the street are howling, my cat has gone in hiding and I need to comfort my son!!

you are not the first person in the world to have a baby. guess what, the rest of the human race don't have to revolve their lives around your child. get a grip

I can think of much less aggressive ways to approach the situation.

and yes, yabvu and bloody rude

fun hoover.....runs away and hides from scary sweary lady

To be honest, even without a newborn I find people who let of fireworks off for weeks on end before and after Bonfire night really really tiresome, so YANBU

I was probably a bit ott haha but is there any need really?!

I love fireworks. I'm more excited about Bonfire Night than I am about Christmas. I really don't get those who don't like fireworks. So YABU.

I mean you don't go handing out Christmas presents now, or trick or treating now. Why can't people wait?! And the dogs are still howling!

What? You told the neighbours you were going to should be the fireworks up their arse?

What are you going to do if they carry on?

Yabu and rude and they would possibly be calling 101 to report you right now.

Although I do remember when DS was first born and I was so tired and sore and I just got him down only for the kids from across the road to start playing football in the street and I went loopy. DH had to stop me from going out and telling them to STFU. Glad he was there to save me from being a total bawbag.

you sound delightful OP

I don't mind fireworks on bonfire night, I just don't see the point in letting them off now. They scare animals & children, can cause accidents when not used properly and just fecking irritating when let off early!

Very rude and very unreasonable. Yes it might wake your baby up and yes they are a bloody nuisance sometimes but in all honesty you are being far too unreasonable. Peoples lives go on despite you having a baby

We have a huge display at Hogmanay just after the bells. Fireworks aren't just for bonfire night. We also had them at our wedding.

You're going to have to do an awful lot of shouting over the next few weeks, because it is inevitable that there will be fireworks going off all over the place both before and after 5th November, given that Diwali starts on 11th November.

Okay new year and weddings are fine, but don't randomly let them off! I don't know what Diwali is and I don't think that's celebrated here

There isn't a law to say people can't let them off today so YABU. Were you honestly that aggressive?

I must be no fun either because I'd like them banned entirely except for public displays.

never move to sussex, op. our bonfire season starts atthe end of september and runs until the end of novemebr with parades every weekend

Should only be allowed on Bonfire Night and New Years Eve. Frightens the life out of the animals.

I love this. Well done! Wish I had the guts to do this

I'd assumed this thread was going to be about genuine antisocial behaviour and OP reprimanding youths for throwing fireworks at each other/cars/into gardens etc.

I was going to share my 2 stories, one of a child I taught who was scarred for life by a firework hitting her when she was a toddler, playing in her own garden.
The other was the mindless idiots who blew up the dog poo bins close to the kiddies play park, disgusting little oiks.

By all means tell off people being stupid and dangerous, but letting off firworks in your own garden is not a crime or something for which you need permission from your neighbours! It seems like OP is the one exhibhiting the antisocial behaviour.
