Today, I learned from the noise outside my window that construction workers start their days at 5 AM. FML

A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Today, I discovered that it doesn’t matter where I move, I will always wake up at 5 a.m. to the sound of construction directly above my ceiling. FML

Noise cancelling anyone?
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, in the early hours of the morning, a worker started drilling the road right in front of my window. He stopped 5 minutes before my alarm clock rang. FML

No sleep for the wicked
Today, I came home from work to find construction workers repaving my street. I work the graveyard shift. 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

This FML is from back in 2019 but it's good stuff
GET UP
Today, I left the apartment door open so the construction workers sent by our landlord could work in the kitchen, while I slept in after working a late shift. They knocked on the bedroom door at 7 a.m., asking me to move the bed. FML

Living in perfect harmony
Today, after hearing them stomp around all summer, my upstairs neighbor’s obnoxiously loud kids finally started school. Now I get to hear them get up at 6:30am and stomp around while they get ready. FML

Today, recent construction has created a manhole that cars slam over every single morning. This normally starts at 4 a.m. as people make their early commute on my busy street. With every car that hits it, there's a huge echoing slamming noise. FML

Today, I finally decided to go talk to my upstairs neighbour about the loud banging noises he makes every single morning around 8 a.m. It worked. Now he starts at 7 a.m. FML

Today, and for 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

Stand by your window topless and eat a banana. They will stop what they're doing.

pretty sure it's illegal to start that early

if they're Mexican, which is most likely, I recommend you lock your doors

Not legally they don't... Legally it's 7am, though that's not much better.

Construction is 3 houses down from mine. My house shakes every morning. At 7 am.

They start that early so they don't have to do that much more work in the sun. They have it worse than cubicle and retail workers! my day starts off normally around 4 a.m., gotta love hard labor...

They also usually take a longer time to complete their projects than necessary, at least from my experiences.

I seriously don't get how someone can vote "you deserved it" on this

He deserves it for not waking up before 5AM?

move op

Yes. OP should move to get away from the temporary construction noise. Because that sort of thing is NEVER done anywhere except outside their house... *rolls eyes*
