I wouldn’t push a woman down the stairs, but I could see myself writing an essay on why only dumb people can tolerate loud noises and that being loud should be made illegal.
you’d have my vote
And my axe!
Everyone get in here, we’re voting on essays!

Unable to use the word “woman”, apparently.In case anyone else is curious, the essay is simply titled “On Noise.”

being loud should be made illegal
Joke is that it did. Now Germany has its Nachtruhe
I’m an immigrant in Germany and my boss (from here) recently asked me if it was a jerk move to do laundry on a Sunday if she checked with her neighbors first.
It made me realize I’ve been such an unintentional asshole. I’ve been avoiding things like carpentry and band practice, not laundry. There’s a guy on my street who mows the lawn before nine in the morning on Sundays though, so I’m not the worst in my neighborhood.

That’s not a common thing? Nighttime disturbance being illegal?
Excessive noise is bad, violence is worse. Moral licensing for escalating is a hell of a drug.
violence is fine, just has to precise and for the right purpose
“This is the worst kind of violence, the kind against me!”
- everyone everywhere ever
Same with noise lol
So what would be appropriate response for excessive noise? Sand in their shoes?
Posts like these make me glad I can sleep through pretty much anything. It might wake me up but I can just ignore it once I’ve identified it isn’t a threat of some sort and go back to sleep.
Only time I can think of that this wasn’t the case was one time when I lived in a basement apartment, the landlord must have been installing hardwood floors or something right above my room as I was trying to sleep in. I eventually gave up and my coworkers were surprised to see me in early that day lol (still later than any of them, landlord wasn’t being an asshole with the time).
That said, people who do loud things because they want attention are assholes (outside of specific contexts like concerts).
Contrast Charles Babbage, who was actively harassed by deliberately shitty street musicians, whose business model was to be paid to fuck off.
