How to deal with neighbours construction

I work from home, and for the past two months there has been constant drilling and reno works around the neighbourhood.

Recently it has turned into very intense jackhammering that vibrates the walls and the chair if im sitting on one.

This noise and pressure permeates noise cancelling headphones and starts from 11am all the way to the evening.

I only sleep at 3am because I cant even concentrate on my work in the day. Anyone been through this, how did you cope? After so many days of this my ears are tired and strained

Netizens’ comments

1. nothing if within their permit hours
2. Check their demolition permit applied and approved from HDB/BCA.
   Date duration
   Time duration
   Make sure they don’t exceed.
   Once they exceed, just lodge your complaint.
   They are also supposed to notify the whole block by pasting the permit copy on the lift lobby.
3. One of those situation in life that honestly u can’t do much about and just got to be tolerant. As much as it’s your inconvenience, your neighbour (assuming they are moving in as new owners) also have the right to do what they need to do with their new homes, assuming it’s within permitted hours. Just hope that they are nice people who are easy going after they move in.
   For now, you just have to work outside or something

I’m not very sure how to shorten it down, because there are a lot of details.

However, as the title says I reported my colleague and he was terminated.

My report was in relation to him calling me homophobic slurs and also making inappropriate xx comments towards me. When I would tell him not to make said comments, he would laugh it off and say “I grew up with gay friends so I can say fg”.

He would also make comments about another gay colleague and me basically insinuating that we would end up sleeping with each other.

I’m a 23 yr old gay man and my colleague was a 19 yr old gay man. The colleague in question is in his early 40’s and is a straight male. These comments would make me so grossed out and uncomfortable. Another colleague witnessed him saying “It’ll be no time until you’re both shng out each others d*ks” in regards to me and the other gay colleague.

She was very shocked and even told him that he was being hostile and inappropriate. He had also made comments towards me in settings outside of the workplace, and when I requested he stop speaking to me and keep the relationship professional he threatened me physically at a Halloween event.

After that specific incident, I reported everything to our manager and they fired him immediately. This has continued to cause me issues at work because some workers have taken his side and are now going around basically saying I overreacted and was wrong to report him.

What do you guys think?

Found out she screwed an old coworker 3 1/2 months ago (she doesn’t know I know). I found out by snooping on her phone one night, when she fell asleep before me, and the messages were all there. From what I could tell, it looks like they only slept together (maybe a few times but idk). Last week I snooped again and found out they have plans to do it again this Friday.

Originally I was completely disgusted and absolutely heartbroken. I couldn’t sleep because of the images in my head. I started drinking more and smoking a lot to take my mind off of it which has kinda helped but not enough. Life was hard initially but things have been better since Hannah and I hit it off.

Who’s Hannah? Well she’s my new girlfriend. After I found out I started working more. I wanted to build up a mountain of OT money so I could plan my next move, whatever it was.

Anyway, she recently started working in the same area as me about ~8 months ago. With me working more I was able to spend more time around her. She’s gorgeous to say the least. Objectively better looking than my wife. We started talking daily and I told her about the situation with my wife. She was really supportive and caring for me.

One night after our shift I asked her to grab a drink with me, which she said yes. After a few hours, we ended up at her place and we banged all night long. The next morning I held her in bed and talked for a few hours. I really started to like this girl and wondered where this could go. That day I ended up going home and picked up my wife at the airport. She didn’t expect a thing and carried on like usual.

Hannah and I talked the next day about what happened. I told her I really enjoyed our time which she excitedly responded that she felt the same. We agreed to keep it under the radar and also only talk when we are at work to avoid my wife finding out. So far it’s worked and she hasn’t suspected a thing.

It’s been 3 weeks since that talk and everyday after work we get naughty in my car in a parking lot.

I want to keep this going as long as I can. I hate my wife for what she did and I just want to inflict as much pain as possible. It should be easy to, as my wife is too infatuated with her new boy toy to take notice of anything. I know eventually however, I need to come clean and divorce my wife. I’m just hurt.

giving my nephew cash bc of previous bad behavior when opening gifts?

My nephew (11) went through a phase where he wrote his own songs and put them on TikTok. His bday was coming up and he asked for a keyboard from his mom and dad so he could play music to go with his lyrics.

I knew they were getting it for him so I bought him a mic and stand that hooked up to the key board, it had an amplifier and Bluetooth. It was not cheap.

When he opened it he threw a fit! Yelling and screaming. He even kicked the box.

Now, as a mom, I know kids will be kids but no one stepped in to correct his behavior. After about two mins of being berated by a child I walked away, telling my SIL it could be returned to Amazon.

He actually asked why I didn’t just buy him an Xbox! Since then my nephew and my SIL will send me lists of the things he wants and I just shove a hundred in a card and give it to him.

My husband, who doesn’t shop for the gifts, says I’m being petty and he’s just a kid. He is, at the very least, half right.

My whole thing though is no one stopped the behavior and I had to sit and listen to his complaining. I have a daughter his same age and she would Never behave like that if she did I would end it immediately and make her apologize.

I’ve been struggling a lot recently with feeling like I’m bad at typical feminine hobbies. I’m not good at cooking, sewing, baking, or organizational stuff.

My (30f) boyfriend (27m) and I have been together for almost 5 years. We’re very happy, get along amazingly and we’re very much in love.

But he still doesn’t want to move in together and when I ask him when he’ll be ready, he just says he doesn’t know.

He’s got a completely packed schedule during the week. There’s barely 1 minute each day where he’s free. He says he gets pissed about how limited his time is and fears he’ll get annoyed sharing a space which may limit his time more (we might often get caught up talking/hanging out if we’re living together).

He says he wants to move in together someday. He’s assured me he also wants to get married and have kids — we’ve even talked about what we want to name our kids.

Being an almost 31 year old woman, I’m worried about the future. I worry he might be one of those people who never fully commits to big things like this and if I keep waiting for him to get ready to take this next step, it might be too late and the egg shop will have closed its doors for good.

Has anyone experienced something similar and have advice like “if he’s still not ready after all this time, he’ll never be” or “his excuse is valid, just give him time to feel ready?”

This guy is my best friend and the thought of leaving him makes me sick to my stomach especially when everything is otherwise perfect but if this is going to have a negative long term impact on my life, I probably should leave. Just need and outsiders perspective.

I’m worried the age gap between me and my bf is weird. I’m the older one.

Although we are both young, people can tell that I am the older one and sometimes people give me the weird look.

I got an interview yesterday for a Marketing Executive role. It went okay and at the end of it they said they will be sending me a short assignment to just showcase my creativity.

I said okay sure! I was fine with it as i thought maybe they wanted me to do up a sample instagram post or a short intro video of myself showcasing some tools i’m able to use etc.

The email came and they gave me 4 tasks that i have to complete and send it back to them in two days. The tasks are:

1. To create an email newsletter for the company based on any available information online
2. Provide 5 suggestions with samples of how they can improve their company website
3. Create 1 Linkedin and 1 Instagram post for their social media channels
4. Provide a strategy and execution plan to engage prospective customers

I was honestly surprised because this just feel extensive and how can ALL of this even be done in 2 days? We only had 1 interview and they didn’t even show that they were that interested and it honestly feel that they’re just trying to get these ideas from applicants for free.

I know that some companies practice this to ensure that they get the most suitable candidate but do they not realise that we still have our own job too? Is this even ethical to be asking candidates to do this much in just 2 days or am I overreacting?

My wife recently was driving to work, and her car shut off on the highway.

It almost caused an accident and in the moment she “thought for sure it was going to be over”.

I picked her up from work that night and she completely had a breakdown about how she thought she was going to never see me again. I feel awful for her.
