Night owls of the world rise up! But only after midday, of course!
- We were trusted to protect the village from the terrors in the night for thousands of years! Now we're cast aside as pariahs, weird beings that shouldn't be in the group just because we're different. Until we regain the respect we deserve, the day walkers shall receive none of our treasures!
  
  Just keep it down
  
  You keep it down! Don’t you dare fucking mow your lawn before 1pm.
  
  Is 1pm an exaggeration or am I unintentionally rude even though I’m trying to be respectful? I don’t do anything to make noise like mowing, running my chainsaw, etc until after 11am. I used to start up late and sleep in until I had kids (wish I still could) so even though I’m up by at least 6am I find other stuff to do until at least 11 . Nobody has complained but I don’t think I would have complained myself.
  
  1pm is starting the hot part of the day. Anytime after 9am is ok.
  
  10am, but only if using a push mower.
  
  Can you be my neighbour? The new ones think 8am is the perfect time to stand outside my window and scream at each other. I've just gotten to sleep. Noise at 11 (even a lawnmower outside my room) I could sleep through, but that first two hours of sleep I struggle to stay asleep.
- The problem is, when they start with construction noises at 8am, this is all fine and legal, but if I come back at them with vacuuming at 11pm, I'll just get a fine.
  It's ok, I run my drier at night. It's enough to be annoying and not enough for anyone to call the police.
  
  Depends on the country. Mine doesn't have laws about that, other than "disturbing the peace". You can disturb the peace during the day too by revving an obnoxious motorcycle for instance. But no hours are codified as "night time" or "day time". Only place it appears is blocks of flats, where the community can set it, when it's binding. Also they can set it to be during any time they want it, so if a night owl sets it it could get weird :d
- The darkness rises!
  Everything is infinitly better at night.
