minor things that make you fume



I live in a cul-de-sac which has a single LED lamppost which they’ve managed to position in a way that, at night it shines directly into my bedroom. It doesn’t matter what curtains, masonry or lead shielding I put up the thing is like a neutron star attached to a bunker buster bomb forcing its way into ruining my nights sleep. Just an eruption of totally unnatural ultra white light.

I live in the middle of nowhere, it’s the southern hemisphere so the nights sky is pretty bright anyway. There is no crime, you have to drive everywhere and incredibly your car has headlights so there is absolutely no need for some metaverse Eye of Sauron to be installed there.

I have to wear an eye mask like an old man.

A BB gun or can of spray paint should solve your issue. Given you're in the middle of nowhere, you're unlikely to be caught and nobody is likely to notice (or care if they're your neighbours).
 

Parking at the train station - after 7am you generally have to park right down the end of the car park which is a 3-4 min walk to the platform (which of course I never allow for), however there’s 2 or 3 spaces that generally are free as they’re hard to see when a car is in the adjacent spot.
Unfortunately they are under trees, said tree are home to the fattest pigeons you will see and those pigeon like nothing better than depositing the biggest poops known to man. I’m talking Pterodactyl size ones.
If only APCOA spend a fraction of the £11.30 x 1000 revenue they get 5 days per week on cutting the trees back…….

Will update this evening when I get back to witness the carnage.

I have a elbow joint on my drain pipe that connects the roof gutter to the drain pipe that isn't sitting correctly, it lets water just pour out the gutter onto an exterior outlet sitting further down on the wall, every time it rains i hear water splashing loudly and it wakes me up.

Have to lean out me window like a nobhead to reseat it, no idea how to fix this long time

Couldn't you put a canopy over your car, or employ a pigeon scarer
