To wonder why somebody would do this

Last night at exactly 4:30am somebody near me let off loads of really loud fireworks. I just don’t get why somebody would do this

People are very selfish.
I personally hate fireworks. Upsetting for veterans, older people, animals, babies.

Because their party was coming to an end? They probably didn't realise the time. They were drunk and found it funny?

Drunk person who thinks they are more important than anyone else or that everyone should be up partying until they go to bed.

The weird thing was there was no fireworks from there at midnight just at 4:30am really loud ones

It happens, it was NYE. Not worth bothering about why.

I had people setting them off all night.

We had a lot of events or fireworks cancelled due to the bad weather, so I wonder if the weather calmed down so some people did them late.

Someone forgot to set them off at midnight and decided to do it then, not thinking it through

Do you really need to wonder why someone would let off fireworks on NYE?

TomatoSandwiches · 01/01/2024 13:11

Perhaps letting them off at the time it turns NYD somewhere else in the world that's 4.5 hours behind us?

Perhaps they were from Barbados which is currently 4 hrs timewise behind the UK and they were doing a New Years Eve countdown Smile

It won't have been personal. Thoughtless, but not aimed at you.

Mairzydotes · 01/01/2024 13:29

For attention, probably

LightSwerve · 01/01/2024 13:32

Of course you understand!

They did this because they wanted to and are not the type of person to think about the impact on others, for whatever reason (pissed, disordered thinking, arse etc.)
