In our neighborhood, Fourth of July lasts a week before and after with fireworks almost every night. LO stirred last night, so it might have woken him up. During the Fourth at my parents, LO woke up thanks to them. I'll join you on the lawn yelling at the hooligans. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-just-getting-old-or-are-fireworks-at-1130-obnoxious#post-911916 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 06:48:40 +0000 lomom 911916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah our neighbors started setting off firecrackers and crap around the end of June. I kept telling DH we needed to get them a calendar. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-just-getting-old-or-are-fireworks-at-1130-obnoxious#post-911616 Sun, 07 Jul 2013 20:47:20 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 911616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around here, 11:00 is the noise cutoff for anything. So I'd say...obnoxious (but fun if you can see them and don't have little ones sleeping!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-just-getting-old-or-are-fireworks-at-1130-obnoxious#post-911613 Sun, 07 Jul 2013 20:46:38 +0000 lovehoneybee 911613@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Amendment: Fireworks at 9:45 on a Sunday night very close to my apartment are incredibly obnoxious. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-just-getting-old-or-are-fireworks-at-1130-obnoxious#post-911603 Sun, 07 Jul 2013 20:42:19 +0000 travelingnanny 911603@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would let it slide. A party once in a while (esp. during a holiday weekend) is no big deal. Now if they were being obnoxious all the time then that might be a different story. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-just-getting-old-or-are-fireworks-at-1130-obnoxious#post-909765 Sat, 06 Jul 2013 13:02:05 +0000 Turd Ferguson 909765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If it were any other weekend, 11:30 would be pushing it (I'd say 9:00-10:00 on a summer weekend night would be pretty acceptable), but since it's 4th of July weekend, I guess I would kind of expect it (if it's a crowded suburban/city neighborhood I'm not sure at all what the rules are). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-just-getting-old-or-are-fireworks-at-1130-obnoxious#post-909732 Sat, 06 Jul 2013 12:18:14 +0000 googly-eyes 909732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think that's annoying! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-just-getting-old-or-are-fireworks-at-1130-obnoxious#post-909610 Sat, 06 Jul 2013 10:42:09 +0000 Grace 909610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love fireworks, but I don't think they should be shot off in the city. Isn't that a fire hazard? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-just-getting-old-or-are-fireworks-at-1130-obnoxious#post-909465 Sat, 06 Jul 2013 09:14:53 +0000 mrs. bird 909465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we heard them going off until 6 am yesterday :sad: like @Foodnerd81: they're illegal here! not that i haven't participated in a fair share of illegal firework activity, but all night long in a crowded neighborhood is too much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-just-getting-old-or-are-fireworks-at-1130-obnoxious#post-909457 Sat, 06 Jul 2013 09:10:36 +0000 Foodnerd81 909457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our neighbors were shooting them off well past midnight and my poor dog was freaking out. They are illegal in my entire state! It's one thing earlier in the evening but past midnight is truly obnoxious. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-just-getting-old-or-are-fireworks-at-1130-obnoxious#post-909345 Sat, 06 Jul 2013 07:24:35 +0000 Happygal 909345@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Obnoxious! I expect fireworks after it gets dark and to be done an hour or so later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-just-getting-old-or-are-fireworks-at-1130-obnoxious#post-909342 Sat, 06 Jul 2013 07:22:01 +0000 Dandelion 909342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted wrong...I thought it was about your neighbors. Mine shot off fireworks, but they were done by 10. Yours are rude. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-just-getting-old-or-are-fireworks-at-1130-obnoxious#post-909303 Sat, 06 Jul 2013 06:16:22 +0000 cmomma17 909303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, ruckus. And they started on Tuesday and will probably continue all weekend. So annoying. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-just-getting-old-or-are-fireworks-at-1130-obnoxious#post-909301 Sat, 06 Jul 2013 06:07:40 +0000 MamaMoose 909301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last night they woke my LO up for the third night in a row. Damn the ruckus! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-just-getting-old-or-are-fireworks-at-1130-obnoxious#post-909279 Sat, 06 Jul 2013 04:01:46 +0000 sunny 909279@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would be annoyed particularly because we have a city wide fireworks ban! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-just-getting-old-or-are-fireworks-at-1130-obnoxious#post-909272 Sat, 06 Jul 2013 02:46:34 +0000 lovehoneybee 909272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't mind them SO much on the 4th but any other night (after 9, when LO goes down) they make me nuts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-just-getting-old-or-are-fireworks-at-1130-obnoxious#post-909267 Sat, 06 Jul 2013 02:11:52 +0000 Sweet T 909267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's annoying too. Fortunately, fireworks are against the rules in our neighborhood so we haven't had any noise issues. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-just-getting-old-or-are-fireworks-at-1130-obnoxious#post-909242 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 23:59:26 +0000 boiledpnut 909242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, they were at it again tonight. It woke E up...again. So annoying! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-just-getting-old-or-are-fireworks-at-1130-obnoxious#post-909192 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 23:13:29 +0000 PointeShoesTutus 909192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd totally turn the hose on them! Or ask my cop hubby to either go talk to them in his cop voice or call a cop friend who works tonight. </p> <p>Sadly, I can't even hide behind a LO as my reason for my annoyance. I've become the cranky neighbor even though I'm not old yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-just-getting-old-or-are-fireworks-at-1130-obnoxious#post-909188 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 23:09:02 +0000 Boheme 909188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@78h2o: He will actually probably be super nice to them lol... I'm the tired grouchy one! I have so become the old cranky person in our neighborhood. "Get off my lawn!" *shakes fist </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-just-getting-old-or-are-fireworks-at-1130-obnoxious#post-909183 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 23:04:15 +0000 78h2o 909183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: nice! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-just-getting-old-or-are-fireworks-at-1130-obnoxious#post-909179 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 22:59:58 +0000 autumnlove 909179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After 10pm on July 5th would annoy me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-just-getting-old-or-are-fireworks-at-1130-obnoxious#post-909177 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 22:58:36 +0000 Boheme 909177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine are shooting them off too... Bad news for them is that DH is a cop and is patrolling our area tonight. The baby got woken up (again) so I just sent a text to the po po to take care of it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-just-getting-old-or-are-fireworks-at-1130-obnoxious#post-909173 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 22:52:55 +0000 BSB 909173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would be so annoyed. Fireworks are only allowed on 4th of July in my area so I would be pissed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-just-getting-old-or-are-fireworks-at-1130-obnoxious#post-909166 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 22:46:47 +0000 kiddosc 909166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's quiet right now, but I wouldn't say it's because our neighbors are respectful. They had no problems shooting off fireworks until well past midnight last night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-just-getting-old-or-are-fireworks-at-1130-obnoxious#post-909156 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 22:40:20 +0000 Maysprout 909156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I just got used to ruckus living in a college town so it doesn't bother me anymore. LO sleeps through it and unless someones right in front of our house the dogs stay quiet. But we moved last year so it's a much quieter town now, there were some firecrackers around 10 or 1030 but nothing anymore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-just-getting-old-or-are-fireworks-at-1130-obnoxious#post-909153 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 22:38:52 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 909153@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>absolutely obnoxious. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-just-getting-old-or-are-fireworks-at-1130-obnoxious#post-909143 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 22:35:38 +0000 MsLipGloss 909143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, that's totally out of bounds! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-just-getting-old-or-are-fireworks-at-1130-obnoxious#post-909137 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 22:33:36 +0000 78h2o 909137@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fireworks kept me up late last night and now they're keeping me up again. My dog barks at every single one. Fortunately my LO is still sleeping or I'd be super pissed! </p> <p>Are your neighbors making a ruckus or being respectful? I'm adding a poll for the heck of it! </p>
