Today, and the 4 months preceding it, my neighbors had been remodeling their house, which meant jackhammer noises every morning. The one day they take a break, my other neighbor decides to start a remodeling project. It'll only be two more months of this. FML

Today, it's been three days since I started working 12-hour night shifts. My neighbors have now decided to renovate their house. They're focusing on the rooms sharing my wall. FML

Today, it's the third day I've been at home recuperating from ear surgery. My surgery was on the same day my neighbor started renovating. There's been hours of jack-hammering every day I've been home. FML

Noise cancelling anyone?

By Anonymous - 27/11/2023 22:00 - Sweden - Lidingoe

Today, just like every workday for the last 6 months, the construction workers in my building made loud noises in the morning and woke me up almost 2 hours before I would otherwise have to get up. This will continue for one more year. I'm not a morning person, and I live in a protected historical building. FML

Today, like every other day since I moved into this apartment a year ago, the construction crew started their noisy work at 5:30 in the morning. When I moved in I was promised it was a quiet neighborhood; only offices. What have they been building in the meantime? Three nightclubs. FML

Out of the frying pan into a similar frying pan

Today, they're jackhammering through concrete walls at my workplace in order to build an addition. I'm allowed to work from home… but I live right next to where they're jackhammering down a concrete garage. FML

Landlords gonna landlord

Today, I remembered my landlord telling me that the renovation of our apartment would cause some "minor inconvenience during 3-5 days". We actually spent 5 WEEKS with no windows, no kitchen, and no bathroom, with construction workers appearing in my bedroom and telling me to get out at 7 a.m. FML

Today, I'm at home sick and someone is moving into the apartment above ours. Judging by the sounds and level of noise, they seem to be opening some sort of woodworking shop. FML

Today, and for the past two weeks, the people living directly above me have decided to add rearranging their furniture to their daily routines. Not only that but apparently, 6 a.m. is the most optimal time for them. FML

Not helping

Today, I came home from work early due to a massive headache. A half hour later, the jackhammering started. FML

Neighbours from hell

By Anonymous - This FML is from back in 2012 but it's good stuff - Canada - Oakville

Today, my new neighbours moved in. I've neither seen nor spoken to them yet; all I know is that they enjoy hammering at the walls for hours on end and repeatedly setting off the fire alarm. All this in the small hours of the morning. I got two hours of sleep. FML

Soundproof walls and windows might be a nice project for you guys to invest in

We've been going through this for the past couple of years, on and off, in our building! Every time someone moves out, they tear up everything. Eventually, it'll stop. Mught want to invest in a pait of noise cancelling headphones. Hang in there OP!

It sounds like you already have a construction site to hide the bodies in... No officer, I haven't seen Mr. Rogers for weeks.

I'm hearing you. There's a house going up over the road - it's into its ninth month. They start hammering, sawing and drilling around 7am. I start night shifts in a few weeks - bye bye sleep :(

Aren't there laws about what time you can start doing construction... noise laws? Something?! If not... invest in ear plugs. Good luck

Yeah, 7 AM is a common time for when you are allowed to start in a residential zone.

I feel your pain - a new complex is being built by me and, for months, all I could hear was the noise of their power tools and work and their work made my home shake. It was the worst! I'm just glad they're far enough along now that I don't have to deal with any of that.
