Been here 20 years and it's not ringing a bell...

Get earplugs

Interesting. In EC at least they seem to do great business. Given that we don’t have things like Miss Shirley’s or Atwater’s out in the Columbia area, they’ve been at least a solid option for breakfast and lunch.

It’s like Squidward

What you mean you don't like waiting for 3 hours for brunch? /s

Actually, name your place "Scrapples" and watch the money roll in.

So I can comment about this, as I had a neighbor run a generator in their yard for over a week after they failed to pay the electrical bill.

You are pretty much SOL during daylight hours, unfortunately. The only time the after hours effect comes into play is after 10 PM, and at that point the police have to measure the sound from a specific distance from your house with a calibrated instrument.

So unless they run them after 10PM, there's not much you can do from any authorities.

I hear them too and I work nights. To say I was really mad is an I understatement!!!

Yes, its also noisy at least the EC one is. Hopefully the remodel will fix that. I found the food always pretty good there - but haven't been in awhile.

The only thing you can control is yourself, and one thing you can do to better your situation is get a pair of noise cancelling headphones or ear plugs. The kids will eventually grow out of being interested in the ATVs.

There's no good day to be at a Fridays

What part of that was “edgy” to you?

Are you the person that scowls at people going to TGI Fridays on a Monday?

Lol, I literally had to check to see if I was still in the Columbia sub. Since when did things get so edgy?

You used to be cool, man. What happened to you? You became the man… management, corporate even. The grumpy old bastard that gets mad when kids make memories and actively wants to end their fun. Go down to DC and get some shrooms for god’s sake. You need to find yourself again.

Live and let live. You don’t have a right to silence, so you can’t just cancel the kid.

That said, you can easily cancel (most of) the noise. Get a decent pair of active noise-cancelling headphones. (I recommend Anker Q20+, at $69.99 on Amazon, as a solid budget option.)

Then use that morning time as your signal to listen to music or podcasts or whatever. Turn a bug into a feature with some self-centered quality time.

If I'm trying to get brunch? Yes

Does Mikey and Mel's have brisket?

Large privacy fence designed for noise reduction?

The eastern part of the county?

What to do? Let kids be kids, that’s what. Are they riding at 2am? Probably not.

Also are they riding under your windows, or are they riding in their yard on their own property? The fact that you included both in your post answers my question, and tells me a lot about you.

I didn't say "all of them."

These comments make it sound like driving around in your yard with an ATV is the norm…where have I been?

Let people have fun. My gosh. I'd hate to be your neighbor. Get one yourself and join in the fun. You sound like you need it
