It’s 3:11am on a Sunday night/ Monday morning. Some dickhead neighbour has been setting them off for the last 10min. I’ve been awake 30min as my toddler woke me but luckily I got him back to sleep fast before the fireworks.
If the fireworks keeps going and wakes said toddler I guess the firework setter offer and I are about to embark on an 18 year journey together!
Could not love this more. Also side note does anyone know why people set them off when it’s broad daylight?? Not only is that terrifying for all but it’s beyond stupid as they can’t be seen??!!!!!!!!
Our poor dogs quiver in fear in the bathroom - they have no idea why they should suddenly have loud noises coming across the paddocks that only usually have mooing going on.
Aside from how horrible this is for you, your whanau and your neighbourhood, and that at home fireworks are lame, it’s also such a bizarre time to set them off? Like who wants to be setting off fireworks while the almond mums are up to do their morning yoga and green tea kale amethyst colon cleanse? This guy seems to have set a specific alarm to wake up to be an asshole. Drag it out forever.
Guy Fawkes just made me think of Gaza this year. As I lay in bed hoping the loud noises didn’t wake my baby all I could think of was the mothers out there to whom the loud noises mean so much more.
Yep it’s also hugely traumatising for survivors of the Iraq and Afghanistan and Syrian wars who now live in Aotearoa. Anyone from any war. I don’t know why we do it.
Last guy fakes I was solo parenting while our 2yr-old had tonsillitis and conjunctivitis, and for 10 STRAIGHT NIGHTS some sh*ts were letting off what sounded like double-happies at the school across the street. I had some pretty dark thoughts about what I would do with their fireworks if the chance arose.
This is amazing and count me in as backup - I’ll bring a nerf gun or three to fire the fireworks at them.
I remember the year I came home and found a line of students passing buckets of water up my driveway, because they had set the tree next to my garage alight. And then of course the garage started burning and that was about only about 2 metres away from my house. Luckily we got the fire put out. The next day I plotted my perfect revenge - I wanted to fill a swimming pool full of rice pudding and make the perpetrators swim laps through it while I prodded them onwards with a giant spoon. Unfortunately budget constraints and the complete lack of a swimming pool and the fact that I would have had to purchase the entire nations supply of tinned rice pudding has meant this has remained a mere dream.
I feel seen
😂 the rage is real!
I’d love to send this to the wankstain who was letting off fireworks at 5am Sunday. Anyone got his email address?

And the fireworks being let off during the day, what even is the point? Better than 3.30am (😬), but still really annoying!

My dog is traumatised too. She jumps all over the place, it’s so hard to keep her calm. So unfair.
I am cackling 🤣 I can see you at all these life milestones yelling “surprise mother f*cker” and I am here for it!
Fireworks are stupid and should be banned. My baby and cat are traumatised after 3 very late and loud nights.

Absolutely sick of damn fireworks!!
Oh my lord! Ban it already.
Sooooo many fireworks after 10pm here last night. Grrrrr.
This speaks to my soul as someone with a four month old and fireworks crazy neighbours. Make it stop.
