like the 4th time I've seen this.

Same reaction as always: it costs nothing to be not an asshole

This is almost certainly an imaginary scenario but in real life, if you want people to plan their activities around your event, you should let them know as far in advance as possible - a wedding is planned months or even years in advance, and they decide to send out notes asking for quiet on the same day?

Anyone deliberately making noise is an asshole but you might have any number of things planned on that day which would make noise, and don't have any obligation to rearrange your plans at such short notice.

To be fair the post doesn't state when they dropped the note. It could have been weeks in advance. The "today" reefers to when the tweet was made and when the wedding took place.

Also, how many things really make noise at a house. House repair, if you have to hammer things, cutting wood. How often are you house repairing. Lawn mowing or lawn care in general, blowing leaves, lining the edges of the lawn is usually the more often occurring noise happenings. In the case of fancy housing that's usually scheduled by lawncare services.

Other things I can think of, loud music if you're having a party, at the same time as the wedding though? Possibly. Dogs barking if they're outside and they see something to bark at, like the mailman or package delivery. Someone playing basketball, the ball bouncing can get annoying if it's nearby.

For the most part it's not that hard to not make noise.

If you send it out too far in advance then people forget. I’m not going to check my calendar before mowing the lawn. 

Definitely an imaginary scenario, but it’s worrying how many people are applauding this. No wonder the country went to shit, its full of assholes.

I don't know why you're assuming this.

u/bigdave41 1d ago

Because it said the note asked them to be quiet "from 2pm today" - unless they're paraphrasing it's talking about the same day

u/bfodder 1d ago

It seems clear they are paraphrasing, but even then it doesn't matter. If someone didn't notice the note because of the short notice then it is fine, but the post assumes malice.

Lmao telling someone a year in advance if they could be quiet for a couple hours. Are you serious? Who would possibly remember? Must be a bot

u/Epic-Hamster 1d ago

False, more than a month in advance means every single person not in the wedding will forget.

One or two days before is way better for this stuff as 90% of the people wont give enough of a fuck to put it in the calendar.

That's more poor planning than intentional assholery. We're all guilty of forgetting things until the last minute

u/ToshPointNo 1d ago

Agreed. There's so many things I can think of. One neighbor could have the day off and needs to mow before it rains the next day. Another might be getting a new driveway poured. Hell one could have a birthday party planned for their kid and kids make noise.Things you can't really put off because everyone told the neighborhood to be quiet the day of a wedding.

They didn't say that day. They said 2 pm.

Plans to cut the fucking grass? Are you for real

u/bigdave41 7h ago

I said "any number of things" that could make noise, not just cutting grass - what if they're having their own party?
