Are you one of those damn night people complaining about us morning people getting on with stuff in the limited time window we have?

When I am doing stuff at night I try to be as quiet as possible. The morning people could follow this until 11 am.
But we won’t because 11am is unreasonable. That’s a third of the day wasted.
You’re not an owl. Go to bed earlier.
Exactly! All those hospital workers on the night shift can go without sleep.
Hospital workers aren’t the ones making noise late into the night and expecting everyone else to be quiet in the morning so they can have a lie in though, are they?

Depending on location, it's too freaking hot to be doing yard work anytime past 11 in the summer months. 9 - 11am is usually when I get my shit done.
Then again, with my neighbors have a similar work schedule to me, so I guess I'm not bothering anyone.
The people across the street were grinding tree stumps at 8am Sunday last week. I yelled out the window but it didn't work. They were done and gone by 10, which is when they should have started.
SORRY WE CAN'T HEAR YOU BECAUSE OUR MACHINES ARE SO LOUD. FUN, EH!

My neighbors consistently party until about five in the morning with outdoor speakers on the weekends. I'm generally up for the day before they're done with last night, and I get to enjoy free concerts from their sound system.
You're God damned right I've zero qualms about firing up the lawn mower as soon as the sun breaks the eastern horizon.
Have you tried being a good neighbor and letting them know their loud parties are causing you harm?
Because otherwise you’re tacitly telling them it’s fine.
I went over once when they were shooting off commercial grade fireworks on a Wednesday night and feel lucky to have escaped alive. The young bulls got threatening with me until the older guy came out and spoke reason. It's just a product of where I live.
Have you tried being a good neighbor and letting them know their loud parties are causing you harm?
Just tried that last week and I will never directly contact people like that again.
All it got me was an angry neighbor who now turns their shit up louder than it was before as they drive by my house.
I guess I'll just resort to fucking with their vehicle in the future.
You can't reason with some people.

10am is my personal cut off. I won't mow the lawn or do anything loud until after then. My kids on the other hand are the wildcard.
I'll run my electric lawnmower earlier than I will a gas one.
Mines electric but I'd still consider it loud enough to disturb people
Mine isn't much louder than a typical SUV going 35mph down the street outside my house, if at all.
The town I live in has a railroad track running right down the middle, and at least two trains go by everyday (technically the same one going back and forth), is often overflown by military helicopters and we often hear artillery practice from the local army base rattling our windows. Combine this with the fact that a lot of my neighbors work odd hours, there isn't a time of day to run a lawnmower when someone isn't trying to sleep.
Our neighbors decided that it would be a very great idea to start split and saw 350 ft³ of wood at 6am on Saturday morning, until 11am.
Get out of town, into a rural area they said. It's much quieter they said. That and the street that runs in front of our house...
Hahaha welcome to rural living for sure! Ive had a couple early camping mornings because I didn't know how close the loggers would be. It's nice to get started on chores earlier as you can, but I do try to be mindful of gas tools before 8.
One of my neighbors must be invested in a couple different ammunition companies and trying to inflate their stock the way they shoot. All day Sunday sometimes.
Trade offs for living in the woods.

My neighbor is showering at 6 am on a Saturday morning. Is he working on the day when I get to chill?
No he’s an out of touch asshole, not me.
In my part of Virginia, they have established noise laws. Seem pretty fair
ordinance defines daytime as 7 AM–10 PM on weekdays and 9 AM–10 PM on weekends and holidays, and nighttime as any time outside of daytime.
The ordinance limits noise levels to 60 decibels during the day and 55 decibels at night in residential areas.
The law has a surprising amount of detail regarding things like vehicle noise, construction, etc.

I have a rule that if my noise a problem for someone they will come and let me know and I will stop it immediately.
It hasn’t happened yet so I assume no one is inconvenienced.
Or maybe they just don't want to take the risk? https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/apr/29/five-people-killed-in-south-east-texas-shooting-cleveland

You sound like a shit neighbor then. Just be considerate of others.
It’s not my job to think constantly if my every minor single action can offend or inconvenience someone. Cmon that would be insane
If someone has a problem with my pyjama outdoors then they can tell me and I probably will consider it for a while like a second and then idk get a notification and forget probably if I am being honest. But I tried to take it into consideration your valuable opinion on my outfit. I really did try. It’s called living in a society, we need to care
Honestly grow up
I think you can find a middle ground between "I assume they'd come and politely discuss it" and "I think constantly whether my every single minor action can offend someone".
Your rule is based on ignorance then. Be kinder
I disagree. It’s the only sane way of thinking.
Being kind isn't difficult, have a good day.
Are you saying you perform zero mental calculus to determine these sorts of things? You do not consider laws, social norms, or even morals? Where do you draw the line? If there is a literal community fruit tree at a park near your house, would you take all the fruits until people ask you to leave some for them? If you are driving home and you see a house with a beautiful garden, would you stop and steal some of the plants because the resident should tell you not to? Would you practice your guitar at 3am with an amp because, who knows, maybe your neighbors actually enjoy it or maybe they sleep with earplugs and since you had a great musical idea at 3am, you should "be bold" and "take what's yours" and they should tell you 3am is a stupid time to play guitar with an amp?
Did you also say you live in a homogeneous community of somewhat assholes and you think you're being bold by also being an asshole?

So you're an asshole that also likes attention and confrontation
My neighbor used a leaf blower to dry his car after washing it at 7am on a Saturday. I don't know that I will ever be able to like that man after this.

My neighbor was practicing with a trumpet at 1 am last night.
Drunk trumpeting is a special joy
White noise machine, y’all. Makes life so much better. Sleep whenever you want.
6:30am "Vrrrrroooooooooooooomm!" for about a minute.
Silence for 45 seconds.
"Vrrrooooooooooooom!" for about a minute.
Repeat for the next 1 1/2 hours.
