Today, my neighbors got a motion sensor light that points at my window. It's so sensitive that it goes off every time an insect flies past. FML

Autumn: Leaves and Laughter
When the leaves fall, the laughter rises. Discover autumn stories as crisp as dried leaves!
Today, I realized the reason my neighbor keeps smiling awkwardly at me is because I’ve been waving enthusiastically at their security camera every morning, thinking it was a motion-activated light. FML
Today, I can’t sleep because the moon is full. No, wait, that’s actually the floodlight from the neighboring farm shining in my window. Apparently, they thought it a good idea to hook the thing up to a motion detector, so the cats and mice can play disco lights at midnight. FML
Today, my neighbor, who has 4 video cameras pointed at the front of my house, got a drone that’s now hovering over my backyard. FML
Today, I installed motion sensor lights in my house to save on energy. When I laid down in bed, I saw the lights turn on from downstairs to the kitchen. I live alone. FML
Today, the neighbor's dog has been barking for over 5 hours. It is barking directly at my window. FML
Today, I learned that my new neighbour's car alarm goes off every time a car drives by blasting loud bass. So far, it's gone off 6 times in the last hour. I can't wait until he's done moving in here, where he and his car will stay for the next year. FML
Today, after coming home from school, I found that two birds had made a nest above the porch light. This wouldn't be a problem if they stopped attacking me every time I get within 5 feet of them. FML
Today, my neighbors left for their nine month excursion, and armed their security system. One of the features is a loud series of three beeps every three seconds, 24 hours a day. I can hear it, clear as a bell, throughout my entire house. FML
Today, I fell asleep on the couch. My parents didn't wake me up, went to bed and set our burglar alarm. If I trip a motion sensor, a siren will go off. The motion sensor in my living room is pointed directly at me and I have to pee. It's been 2 hours. FML
Today, about to fall asleep, a bug started buzzing behind the screen to my window. Losing my sanity, I punched the screen, forgetting all about the glass. I now have a cracked window and one still annoying bug. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thank you, your FML was submitted, and will appear the moderation soon!

That wasn't an insect. It was a ninja.

Get some curtains or move your bed so the light doesn't bother you.

I am sure OP would have never thought of that solution..
GothicAngel17 24
Why is she getting thumbed down? She's right, thicker curtains would solve the problem easily, however blatantly obvious the solution might be. Perhaps it wasn't obvious to OP?

A bb gun would solve the problem as well.

Or they could stop being such a freak and juts go ask the neighbors to adjust it.
anoellem 1
He/she is a freak just because they posted an FML about it?
DanielZVans 5
Break it
Icejza_DaChilla 7
I would install an even brighter and more sensitive light pointing back at every window on their house. Maybe then they will get the message. Or be an adult and walk next door, knock on their door, and explain the predicament. They may be willing to adjust it for your sake.

Would a mirror work?

It's like a paparazzi, just pretend you're famous!

Buy a big Mirror to put in your window
MrLefty 8
FYL man. Get a black sheet to hang over your window? Then no more blinding flashes of light.
MetalxSoldier 26
Maybe they put up that light to stop op from masturbating. I guess they want to catch you in the act of "punchin your munchkin" ;)
miserypoison 13
Place a huge mirror and reflect it back.
MrLefty 8
Misery's option is way cooler than mine haha
xleanne_aLly 23
Yesss! 48, you sir are a genius.

They can adjust the sensitivity.
22cute 17
Exactly, and they can point it in a different direction. You need to go talk to your neighbor. They probably have no idea it is bothering you. Friendly communication wins!
max_wilder 9
Break their light then

Aw that sucks!

Really? I thought it was great.

Ranting time people! #4 - What is the point? It's an FML of course it's going to suck, every commenter on here knows that. There are so many creative responses you could have done to entertain the FML community, but instead you posted an already known and irrelevant piece of information! So in conclusion, you've written a waste of a comment. Rant over. Thank you for your time.

^Skooms, it's because they knew their time to make the top ten comments was dwindling fast, and he had to say something, at least. **** clever comments when you can post something stupid and make the first page! Negative attention is better than no attention, right 4? Right?? No? Okay then.

That wasn't an insect. It was a ninja.
SkoomaKi 27
Wrong. Not even motion sensors can detect ninjas. Noor will vouch for me here.
Pentium_4 27
Noor hasn't posted in a little bit, must have been her :o

Maybe it was a ninja in training

Deefff Noor:P A trainee was failing.

You surely are gonna enjoy your nights more..

I guess it's time to invest in some super powerful bug repellent.
rooney0710 5
The bugs are outside and won't be attracted unless they go near it in the first place and why would they if it is off. Plus close your windows and no problems
runnamuk 6
I think you missed the point. It was a joke. OP said the light was went off if an insect flew past; so I followed a logically fallacy that identified the bugs necessary element that, if removed, would solve the problem.
Keevarou 17
Ask him/her to remove it? I guess there are laws for disrupting the peace of your neighbors:) But in worst case, curtains and such should work :) Have a nice day!:)

I hate you
Keevarou 17
Sure, enjoy that :)

Oooh, he'll grow on you kcircuses.

24) Why? You hate him because he's friendly and optimistic? There's really absolutely no need to be so rude, he has feelings too.
Keevarou 17
31, he probably hates my general personality and annoyingly happiness some times, which is understandable :) But thank you for defending me, cheers :)

Too many happy faces.

24- Although it is your opinion, I disagree. I enjoy his comments for they always are so optimistic. There's people on here that could learn a thing or 2 from him, really.

what!? your comments are always nice! i prefer them to the more common degrading and unneccesary ones! : ) : ) : ) : ) haha

I say kill the neighbors
franniedottp 8
My neighbors have the same thing. We've asked them relentlessly to turn them off, but they refuse. It's been seven years. I agree with the above comment, 100%.
cookie_crumble89 11
Can't you ask them to point it elsewhere? You could get curtains but you can't be in the dark all day
GothicAngel17 24
That's why you open the curtains during the day.
cookie_crumble89 11
I know that. That's why I said he can't be in the dark all day

Time to awaken your hidden ninja. Target: motion sensor light. Challenge accepted.
skoob1 12
Noor finished the challenge before you accepted it.
ambowew 7
But Noor is a mutation of Jackie Chan, Naruto, Altair, and one of the ninja turtles, so she hardly counts. Her elite status ***** over any common ninja. This task is only genin level.
