there's nothing that says, "kill me now!" more than a jackhammer outside your window first thing in the morning after a 12 hour overnight shift.
1. you have no control over the noise made (volume or time)
2. there is nowhere to escape to because you're tired and can't drive off somewhere and anything within walking distance you'll only hear that %$#@!& jackhammer.
i had a long busy night and now i can't even get some sleep...sad thing is that it'll probably go on until 5pm or whenever finishing time is for this type of work.
sucks.
sucks x 1 million
