Yes, some of the stories you hear in the sector are very 
Doesn’t really grind my gears, more amusing but I just had someone wish death upon me after a game of online chess with a stranger. ‘I hope you die’. Why because you’re shit at chess?

Just had someone, without any hint of sarcasm, claim that the Daily Mail was a pro Labour, liberal newspaper.
My head is still hurting at the thought.

People who don’t seem to care reading the whole add when selling on eBay etc. I’m selling a series of books, 10 in total for €40. I specifically type NOT SOLD SEPARATELY in the beginning and at the end of my add.
I takes no more then 5 minutes until I receive messages like “I’m missing book nr 5 and 6, what can you sell them for?” 
I mean ffs!
I respond that “you may have them for €40, you can throw away those you don’t want”. If they keep on persisting I tell them that “the price is now €40 PER BOOK for you. But I’m still not selling them separately”. I can’t help being an ass when responding, but you’ve basically asked for it!

He’ll probably sell it you for 4 Euros if he’s selling 10 for 40 Euros. PM him an offer

I’m in the garden digging, loving life. I’ve decided it’s my new thing. A few houses down to the west they’re blasting some tunes. First some 80s track that I can’t remember (but did like) then Amazed by Lonestar comes on. I think hmm, haven’t heard this in a while. 3 mins later it ends, and then Amazed by Lonestar comes on. I think wow they must really like this one. 3 minutes later, it ends again, Amazed by Lonestar comes on. Must be one of their all time favourites.
So it gets to the 7th consecutive play of Amazed by Lonestar and I’m raging. Who are these fucking animals that only own 2 songs and want to listen to this one 7 fucking times? Have you just discovered it after 20 years? Are you practicing the dance routine for your stage school graduation? No, you’re not.

Some cunt near me is doing U2 With or Without You very loudly on karaoke… Honestly, sounds like the pubs are open and some old boy is on the mic at eleven o’clock on a Saturday night

Though on reflection, I was just doing the washing up with the window and back door wide open, loudly singing along to Janet Jackson and Luther Vandross - The Best Things In Life Are Free, so maybe I shouldn’t be throwing stones in this particular glass house.

What do we think is a respectable time to stop playing music outside, on a week day?
My neighbour seemingly eats their dinner later, about 8’ish, at the bottom of their garden and has the radio on by their double doors from the kitchen that leads outside. Now, it’s pretty hot tonight, I’m partially naked and trying to get a breeze through the window and they’ve got Sly and The Family Stone doing the rounds. I like that music but I’m winding down for the night at this point and can do without it.

From the way you’ve described it, it sounds like the music is on in the house while they’re at the other end of the garden, which suggests the music is pretty loud. So that sounds a bit inconsiderate. 8 isn’t late though at all in terms of making a bit of noise though, really. I mean, I’d keep it down at that kind of time because I like peace and quiet from my neighbours, so it seems fair to behave as I’d like to be treated. But I’ve stopped expecting it from others.
Maybe because the house next door seem to play television/music/ have fights every night for a period of time specifically between like half ten and half eleven. And the flat downstairs is occupied by this fucking whale of a woman whose incessant snoring vibrates through the floor and up through my bed frame, it’s that loud.
Basically, I’d be so grateful to have neighbours who made a bit of noise I nthe garden around eight or nine o’clock but weren’t a massive pain in my fucking arse around eleven when I’m trying to sleep.
I’m not good when I haven’t had my sleep and I’ve had some genuinely shamefully malicious thoughts about that woman downstairs, considering snoring isn’t a conscious decision haha.

It’s the bass which annoys the fuck out of me. Have your music loud, but turn that shit down.
Whenever I hear something like this I immediately think Sleep Aponea cos it describes pretty accurately how I used to sound when I suffered from it (people showed me recordings, it was inhuman). I got a CPAP machine and it sorted it out and the last few years after i lost all the weight I don’t even need that anymore.
This isn’t much use to you unless you can casually drop it into a conversation with your downstairs neighbour somehow and she subsequently follows up and gets diagnosed and treated.

Blimey, sounds like I’ve got it good haha! It just irked me at the time is all and after a long day slogging in the heat yesterday, I wasn’t in the best of moods anyway.
I’m getting older now which means grumpy-itis is a prominent feature now lol.
