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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I learned from the noise outside my window that construction workers start their days at 5 AM. 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, 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
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, 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
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, I came home from work to find construction workers repaving my street. I work the graveyard shift. FML
Today, I can at last cool off the house by opening my windows after one week of heatwave. Unfortunately, some asshat working for the city decided to repair the street, or rather bang bang bang on the pavement, right in front of them. From 10 pm to 6 am. Every night. For a week. They won't stop. 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, I came home from work early due to a massive headache. A half hour later, the jackhammering started. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

MacGyver your way out of this. Time to duct tape a yoga mat over that sucker.

Here, maybe this'll be more your speed: "Today, I spent 16 hours working the fields for the food I eat while still unable to get regular access to clean water, education, or medical aid. If I'm lucky, I'll be groomed to fight in the same theocratic army that has terrorized my family for all six years of my life. FML"

Just set a pylon on top of it, the drivers will probably thank you for it

That's a good thing. This will help stop the mole men invasion from happening

Maybe invest in some ear plugs.

I would think that would do damage on the cars and they would have to find another way until it got fixed

If the people responsible for maintaining infrastructure near OP are anything like the ones where I live, even if someone complained, it wouldn't do much. They'd probably just tell them what one said to my mom and I when we asked why something hadn't been changed despite it causing four accidents in as many months. More specifically, "Insufficient mortalities to justify the alteration."

Invest in earplugs. Simple.

This can't be good for the cars or the cover. Maybe a late night trip to rearrange some orange cones around it?

get some quick drying cement and poor it over the manhole at night when everyone is asleep. let the pricks who put it there in the first place try and find it again.

Steal the cover! Or graffiti on it; residents in my area got sick and tired of the council not fixing pot holes and found out if they spray-painted dicks on them they immediately got fixed!

Road construction is the price you pay to live in civilized society. You signed the social contract, you live with the benefit to all because the individual doesn't matter.

When traffic dies down, fill it with potting soil and flowers. People will avoid it and it will send a message to the idiot that was to lazy to extend the manhole neck.
