Today, it's my first day-off for the holidays. Today is also the day they decided to start building a house next to mine. I can't sleep beyond 7 am. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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, 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, I learned from the noise outside my window that construction workers start their days at 5 AM. 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
Today, it's the first day in 3 weeks that I'm in my flat after 7 a.m. due to a very busy work schedule. I was looking forward to a Saturday lie-in. Also today, my flatmate's alarm clock went off loudly from 7:30 to 10:30. He's in another country and his door is locked. Bye bye lie-in. FML
Today, it's 3 days before Christmas and my first day of holidays. Today is also the first day I have been sick all year. Hello tonsillitis, goodbye fun. FML
Today, I took my first day off in 3 weeks just so I can sleep in. The office secretary woke me up at 7.12 am with a page wishing me a nice day off. FML
Today, we started building our dream house. Next to my parents-in-law. 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
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Get used to it -- Midnight to 7am are the only quiet hours you'll have for a while.

I feel your pain. We have new neighbours who decide to partake in a bit of DIY at the most inconvinient times. I don't know what's worse - their 11pm drilling or the old neighbours 3am shagging. Just when we thought we'd gotten rid of the disturbances...

There are always some retards that will click YDI, and put stupid reasons... Funny to see actually, they never write a good reason why OP would deserve it.

This is a day in history. I, for one, welcome our new Cyprus overlords. May they show me mercy with a quick, painless death.

This sounds like the start of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" by Douglas Adams. ...@#$%! I GOTTA GO GET WASTED BEFORE THE EARTH IS DESTROYED... AGAIN...!

In Cyprus the recession didn't effect the economy as much as the US or the UK and also there are people whom their job is to build houses/apartments and then sell/rent them!
