Mini rant incoming.
I live opposite some kind of workspace building (i.e., freelancers/companies will pay to use their space for meetings etc). It looks really nice, has a gym, patio, roof terrace etc.
Except it remains fully lit up, 24 hours a day. This annoys me for multiple reasons - environmental, the cost, impact on wildlife (it's next to a nature reserve), and not least because it means my bedroom is illuminated by it. I have blackout curtains, but the light creeps in through the gaps. I rent my apartment, so don't really want to wrangle with landlord in an attempt to sort out blinds or something that would be better at keeping out the light.
Since MAY I have been in a polite email exchange with someone from the company, where first they said it wasn't their building, then they said it was sorted, then they said some lights had been sorted and others not.....
They say the lights are programmed to go off at 10:30pm - fine by me. But this means I need to wait up til 10:30pm, leave my apartment, and take photos of the bloody thing everytime I have to update them and say yes, the lights are still on.
It gives me such rage because there's no benefits to keeping the lights on (residential so can't even claim it's good advertising) and yet they seem totally un-proactive in sorting it out despite how much money it must be costing them!
