late last night someone opened the garden taps full on, the noise woke me up, had to go out and switch them off, the courtyard was flooded

now the neighbour is using power tools again

none of these things is dangerous or stressful if it was an isolated event but when shit like this happens everyday it wears you down

I'm looking forward to some peace and quiet

That’s bizarre. Were they trespassing? That would absolutely stress me out

You can buy vandal-proof garden taps at Bunnings. The tap handle is removable so passing arseholes can’t open it. (unless they happen to be plumbers with a tap handle in their toolkits)
