Fireworks really piss me off.

Dear Asshat residents of my Asshat little town,
Once upon a time I thought they were pretty, well the colored kind that explode up in the sky at least. But this time every year they're gradually becoming the bane of my existence.
I'm tired of hearing people go on and on in this stupid town about how they have the RIGHT to set off fireworks! Well yippity-do, I suppose you do. I guess I don't have a right to have peace and quiet in my own home. I guess my 3 year old doesn't have the right to go to sleep at night without being almost in sleepy-land and then being yanked back into wakefulness by an M-80 going off. I guess my dogs don't have a right to not have to be cowering in corners in their own home, hiding from loud scary noises. I guess it's just tough cookies for me that I have a child with a disability who rarely sleeps as it is but I get to wake up with him at all hours of the night so you can watch something go boom-boom.
It's just total crap. I'm NOT trying to be a party pooper, I would be open to all kinds of compromise on this issue. But do fireworks REALLY need to be lit off here in suburbia, in your driveway? YOU can choose to set your fireworks off somewhere else, my family and I can not CHOOSE to get away from them unless we want to vacate our own home. Even if they are legal in the suburbs, do they really need to be legal for a week and a damn half before the 4th of July? I could probably withstand one night of this bull if that was all I had to put up with.
Not to mention that while I have ALWAYS found it insulting that people are comparing our current economy to the Great Depression, I find it to be even more offensive when suddenly an entire town of down trodden, financially oppressed folks come out in hordes with hundreds of dollars that they are basically planning to light on fire. Glad to see that you can't pay your freaking water bill but you can buy out the VFW's Blackcat stand there Cletus.
I could continue raving but now I have to go tend to dogs that are practically piddling themselves and catch a cup of coffee before my little boy gets woken back up by your Hilbilly Blaster 3000 Dynamite stick. You. Suck. Ass.
Sincerely,
Firework hatin', Party Poopin' biotch

Wow! I don't have this problem much. I live in the middle of no where and usually the fireworks only last from the fourth to a day or 2 afterwards. So, it's not too bad. I just wish they had a 4th of July firework curfew! Let's say 10 pm is the cut off time. =) Then my son would only be up 2 hours past his bedtime instead of all night. Yep...I think that would do it. lol!
We love fireworks, but we go out to the country where my sister lives to light them and only on the 4th. Here in my state you aren't allowed to light them in the city limits.
I hope that you get some relief from the idiotic neighbors that don't realize they aren't the only people on the planet.
Danica cried for 3 hours last night because my craptastic neighbors decided that they would try and blow themselves up.
Happy Independence day! Now let's celebrate by blowing up our own little pieces of America!
Fireworks annoy the crap out of me. Especially since someone almost burnt out house down last year.
Holy Sons of Bitches you are funny when you're mad! I totally agree, our last house was in a suburb and the idiots went on and on with the damn things for-ev-er. I was afraid they would light something on fire and we'd all die in a huge redneck induced house fire. Come over here and I'll provide you peace and comfort and alcoholic beverages. ;)
When I was a kid I loved setting off the fireworks in front of the house. It was almost better than Christmas. Adulthood has offered an entirely different POV. Now they mean wild fires throughout the summer parched unincorporated county areas, the smell of nearby house fires and non stop sirens from the two firehouses I am lucky enough to live near and my son's tantrums from over-sensitivity to any loud sounds, I could seriously live without this holiday's celebration. It would be great if people could just restrain themselves to only doing it on the day rather than for days before and after.
I feel ya! Our dogs go nuts when people set them off in our neighborhood. They don't even sell good ones down here. They are all noise. It is much better to go and watch the fireworks that the city sets on.

This ^^^^ EXACTLY!!!! It drives me crazy! Priorities people!!
That part was pretty freaking hilarious!
I agree! Just the other day I yelled at my neighbors for shooting off fireworks when I just put my kids to bed! My dogs went running almost started barking! They stopped when I said I will call the cops cause fireworks is illegal in NY! Why would you shoot fireworks off in your backyard with trees and stuff. I don't think they realized their house would have went up in flames.
