 Big city life:

1 AM: police banging on the door across the hall and yelling for them to open up because they got a phone call that something was wrong.

3 AM: air conditioner decides to start screeching.

5 AM: some jackass drives by blaring music so loudly it sounded like it was in the room.

6 AM: recycle truck dumps huge bins of glass. 
 With nights like that who needs a day? 
 Couldn’t do that ever again 
 This is why I refuse to live in cities. Moved out during the COVAID's plandemic and will never go back.

 Don’t forget: 

8 am: step over human feces, trash and used drug paraphernalia on way out of $2500 one bedroom apartment to get $7 coffee

820 am: avoid eye contact with mentally ill drug addict on way home and pray to not be assaulted or robbed

Hellscapes. 
 Jameson, have you heard of ear plugs? 
 But then I'd be vulnerable to something going wrong and me not waking up to respond to it. 🤷‍♂️ 
 something something wrench attack 
 How many times have you urgently needed to wake up in the night to respond to a loud noise? 
 Jungle life. No need for alarm as howler monkeys are incredibly good time keepers. They start their day roughly the same time as I do but unfortunately don’t change schedule for weekends 
 Sounds just like my mates place in London (Covent Garden) 🤣  
 Recycle truck on Sunday? #Workaholics 
 @Mister Great 😎♻️ 🚛 🍏 🗽 🥾 🌆 ... knows the drill. The work don’t stop on the weekend. 
 I really do not understand people who choose to live in big cities. I struggle to even visit them, let alone live in them lol 
 Accurate. 
 Cities are shitcoins 
 Haha, I went wandering early these weeks and twice it happend at 6am, i heard glass breaking. In a small town it happend, no truck though. Someone is emptying a bin into a bigger bin outside at one of the few restaurants here.  
Is there a fiat #metaphors here? 
 You forgot that the building's smoke alarm goes off at 2AM, every 6mo on average.
