Today, I sleep during the day because I work nights. My neighbors have a very loud wedding and reception in their backyard including a live mariachi band. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, after having finally kicked my insomnia's ass after three hours, I was woken up by something I only thought happened in movies. Someone had paid for a Mariachi band to play for their girlfriend, outside my apartment building, in the middle of the night. FML
Today, my neighbours had an extremely loud party, which began at midnight and didn't end until 6. I know this because I had a 15 minute sleep, seeing as I had to wake up at quarter past. 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, I left messages in every neighbors' mailbox telling them to please be quiet at 2, as my daughter was getting married in my backyard. At 2:01 someone started practicing the drums in their garage. FML
Today, it's the second night in a row when I thought, "I really need to catch up on my sleep deficit!" and instead had an even shittier night than the one before. My neighbours just started a party right under my window. FML
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
Today, the people living below me have been blasting their music so loudly that I can hear every word as clear as day. The people next door think it's my music and feel the need to bang on the wall and blast their music just as loudly in revenge. I have two very important exams tomorrow. FML
Today, it's the second week into my new neighbors' routine. He works nights, she works days. He likes to blast out Slayer and Napalm Death all day, she likes to drunkenly sing out of tune to Adele all night. I'm on the verge of a nervous breakdown. FML
Today, I learned from the noise outside my window that construction workers start their days at 5 AM. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

OP here. I'm normally on very good terms with my neighbors, and my only real beef about this is they didn't let me know this was happening in advance, I would've gladly taken a sick day or crashed at a friends or something. For those telling me to go over and abuse the bar, I don't drink, at all. I spoke to them about everything and everything was settled nicely, this had been a last minute thing for them because their godchild lost their venue. I only really thought to post this because the way our backyards are angled, it didn't matter what room of my place i went to, I could hear that band very clear.

Sorry about all the ydi's on this post. For some reason, no matter how out of control the situation is, it seems that 10% of people say ydi. But don't worry, cause I agree, your life sucks. Except for the part where you resolved the issue rather nicely.

I hate Mariachi music, and they had three bands in and out from 11am to about 10pm, so I really can't agree

At least it is just one day. When I worked nights my neighbors had dogs and toddlers who would make so much noise all day.

That's only one day, and someone's most important day of their life. Chill out.

Sorry your work schedule doesn't align with other peoples schedules and events. Tell them they should be more courteous to your needs.

This made me chuckle. I think he should have at least told his neighbors though especially if it was going to be loud. You should also have earplugs on hand since you sleep during the day.

I really didn't start feel bad for until you said mariachi band.
