THE NOISE!

14 replies

BeachBlondey · 24/06/2023 08:49

We live in an area that has a lot of communal land, and there are Factors who maintain this.

There are iron railings that need to be replaced and the noise is utterly horrendous - lots of banging and drilling - and for some reason, the Factors have decided, that the best time to carry out this work, is 8am on a Saturday morning.

Is this not the most stupid thing ever? So, people who have been up early every day to go to work, cannot sleep in past 8am on a Saturday morning.

Why on earth wouldn't you schedule this for a weekday or lunchtime?

I have to be up anyway for work (wfh), but I feel so sorry for those that wanted to rest this morning.

Is it just the one Saturday? In which case YABU.

Try living close to a railway main line at a weekend ...

Additionally we have had Screaming Woman Down The Road on full throttle since 7.45 am. (I suspect that's what time her husband rolled up back home.)

Anyway, OP, I hope that the Factors finish their factoring by the end of the day. Then it's all over and peace will reign once more.

It sounds like a one off and something that needs doing so YABU

This morning we had urgent need to chainsaw at 07.30 for reasons unknown.
Last week it was urgent need to scrape minuscule particles of dirt of the lane to make a point at 07.00.
Next week might be petty little man removing noisy tool from where the sun doesn't shine.

I realise not everyone works Mon to Fri 9-5, but why start such a noisy job on any day at 8am?

Because it's going to be 30 degrees in a couple of hours and they just want to get it over with?

JudgeAnderson · 24/06/2023 12:38

If OP lives in the land of factors then it's not hitting 30 degrees today.

PriamFarrl · 24/06/2023 12:45

If it’s just a one off then I’d be annoyed but suck it up.

Heard the term 'Factor' a lot watching 'Take the High Road' years ago.
(misses the point, sorry) 😀

If this is the only one off noise you have to worry about all year, consider yourself very lucky indeed

Because it's going to take the whole day to finish?
