NOISE


Ok I know I sound a bit ridiculous to bitch about noise in the country's largest city, but glass recyclable pick up at 3am? How the hell is the glass outside my building not picked up until 3am?

I also love the fact I'm paying more than I'm comfortable with in rent (as are we all, I know) and my building couldn't double-pane the windows? My building grosses about a million a month, A MONTH, and they couldn't install double-paned windows for a building a half a block from a fire station.

The honking cabs, I've lived here 3 years and been in a cab maybe 2x with a legitimate reason to honk. Not turning on green when pedestrians are crossing, not sure why that's their fault. Not anticipating the green light 1 second before it actually turns green, I'm pretty sure running a red is still illegal even in NYC. Blaring your horn because god forbid someone makes a mistake and brakes to turn, or actually stop, I get it, you're stuck behind them for 1-3 seconds until you can switch lanes but come on, I value the hustle and bustle but the added noises are getting to me.

I know I'm bitching because there's nothing I can do to change this except I guess move....but then how could I bitch about living in NYC if I don't live here... :)
