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?

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

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

It's not likely that they'll remove it. I have neighbors with the brightest ass lights. I've considered asking them to take it down, till I realized it helps us by saving electricity, illuminating our front yard so much that we don't need our own lights. Win. Our blinds keep the lights out at night so it works for us. LOL. It makes us laugh because I know they did it to annoy us.

"Dear Homeowner's Association..." And, maybe a BB gun wouldn't be a terrible investment. So, yeah, FYL. As much as I love sleep, you have my sympathy. Good luck!!

That's just a shitty situation

My Grandparents have the same problem. The neighbours usually just leave their spotlights blazing all night and their bedrooms are constantly lit. Trying to ask them to change the position of the lights just results in my grandparents' walls being egged. People are so rude... *sighs*

A hammer should fix your problem, OP. >:]

Put up a mirror facing them as your new curtains.

Ok insects can't set off motion detectors. I'm an electrician. Stop making shit up.
