Are midnight Christmas fireworks an issue where you live?

Assholes that don't realize that kids are going to sleep for Santa to come.

No, but they certainly seem to be an issue on the OT.

It's pretty wild that we've had several threads about this because I had never heard of Christmas fireworks until last night when I was close to going on a search and destroy mission for whoever the fricking piece of shite was in my neighborhood that was shooting them off at midnight last night.

Short of murder and rape, that has to be the worst possible thing someone can do.

They pop but not an ussue.

I rather hear fireworks than the boom-boom bass crew. What do people get out of bass that shakes the bones.?

Listening to Led Zep,Pink Floyd and The Rolling Stones very loud is a different matter and is acceptable.

Now it seems Christmas social media is full of fireworks complaints.

The same people who complain about everything. If you're having fun, it really pisses off these Karens.

It's really not the issue.

The issue is that you're inflicting your noise on others. You wanna see fireworks? Cool. I didn't sign up for that shite. Collectively we agree on two days a year. To do it on any days other than those two is just inconsiderate of your neighbors.

It's all about what you want with the consequences wiped away.

I love a good fireworks show. I don't like the a-hole neglected 13 year old with behavioral issues lighting off black cats intermittently for days on end with no threat of consequence.

Fireworks are always an issue

Unless you live in the country, you inflict a lot of things on people with delicate sensibilities every single day.

You're not going to get any pushback from me here. I completely agree, and I try my best to be conscious of that.

Washing your car, working on your car, parties, loud engines, smoking, barbecuing, bonfires, dogs barking, construction, etc. are all things that people SHOULD think about doing carefully.

The difference is that with these things, much of it is agreed upon. If you live in a neighborhood, you have to expect to deal with some of that. And if someone is doing something excessively you can go talk to them. If someone 5 blocks away is lighting off a firework, who knows where they are? And they are disturbing an exponential amount of people, not just the people on their block.
