STOP THE NOISE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It is so hard to get a moments peace living in a city with the amount of noise we continually put up with and try to block out.
The majority of commuters do everything they can to block noise out on their way in to town, the ear plugs and music is the most common and successful way.
But how did it come to this? The people playing music without headphones on trains? The mobile phone becoming overused on the bus? Loud boisterous kids not being taught to speak politely in public and growing up to be loud mouthed morons? Strange how the trains are getting more quiet and yet the bogans are getting louder!
If you are lucky enough to live on a main road like me, you'd expect the windows would be double glazed right? Not so. The average car is not too bad its usually just a hum, but then there's the super cars with noise that vibrates floors and walls, not to mention the doof doof fully sick sound systems rattling the glass. Plus theres those bloody motorcycles! Who the hell allowed those noise levels to not be banned. Oh that's right, the law enforcers are scared witless of the bikies, we can't restrict them in anyway or find yourself deep sea diving with cement flippers.
Trucks are even worse and its not jut the motors and the engines, its the bloody brakes as they screech to a halt at traffic lights because the boofheads are driving too fast to slow up properly. Throw into all of this the sirens and the motorists blasting their horns at each other for getting in their way or being typically stupid once behind the wheel. The noise is just thumping at our temples.
And my delightful neighbours upstairs, what real estate agent would give a 3 bedroom top floor two storey unit to 6 uni students? That's right, a dodgy one with dollar sign glasses and no consideration for the neighbours. Who would put a kitchen above a bedroom? Now if you guessed right about the non-double glazed windows, you would also understand why the floor is so thin you can hear them talking through it, and that they approved a fully carpet less flooring system. So every tap, every drop of a pin, every step, every drawer and door can be heard like it was in the room underneath, my lounge room! So imagine what its like when these uni students decide to host a quiet drinking session throughout the early morning hours. Noise Noise Noise. So I call the police and they use their siren.
But as my neighbours real estate agent and the strata manager told me, I need to understand I live in an apartment complex. Thank god they told me, I had NO idea.
But why move in to the unit when I could see how busy the road was you might ask? ... .... ....
Good question. *cough. 25 weeks to go and counting! (175 nights!)
But there's also barking dogs, cyclists ring their bells, reversing trucks, jackhammers, music, whacky people ranting, annoying charity workers being super sweet to get your attention, doors slamming, horns blowing, lifts rattling, espresso machines frothing, ... oh i like that one, ... and people squawking on their phones ENOUGH!!!!
Stop the insanity and shut the flack up!
Let's escape to the park, sit cross legged on a blanket and centre ourselves till we are at peace with the world, under a beautiful big tree listening to nature... bloody annoying birds!
Laugh it off before you go nuts.
