Stupid Helicopter Keeping Me Awake

[hutchy27]

There was a helicopter over my house last Christmas and it wasn't that loud maybe my house is sound proof. I even saw the search light following the person run through a garden near mine and into a school field at about 4am.

Okay... It's 4:53am and I've been awake since 4am because a helicopter has been hovering very loudly about 100m over the house next door to me. Every 10mins or so it goes away just far enough that I can only hear it a bit, then it comes right on back.

I don't know why I'm posting this here other than to get off my frustration at the fact that I'm going to be awake for the next 48 hours and can't even get the 8 hours sleep I wanted because of some random douche/s.

I can't think of any reason a helicopter would need to be hovering here.

That's what bin Ladin said...tee hee

It's dangerous to go alone. Take this!

dammit! I got Ninja,d!
although I think my solution is a bit more effective

Theres no laws against helicopter piloting. The solution is to figure out whose helicopter it is, then rent one, and contract it to hover over their house all night. If its a news copter, for instance, fly it over the editors house all night long.

Now why the hell didn't I think of that?! My area is PLAGUED with stupid helicopters! I have found that if you take out a big mirror where they can see, they run away pretty quick. ...they also don't like it when you arrange lawn furniture to spell out obscene messages.

Is it the police or something?

That's what I assumed at first, but there's no other noises or anything going on. I had a look outside and couldn't see anything of interest, didn't hear any voices, sirens.

I'm close to the middle of the city so any medical emergency would be an ambulance rather than a helicopter and being in Melbourne Australia, even police hardly use helicopters.

It could be guys training. They could be police, search and rescue, medical evac, or Coast Guard (depending where you live).

Doesn't even have to be as impressive as a drug lord; marijuana grow houses and meth labs are all over the place, and considering that the neighbor lives in a freakin' compound...

I know I know but its more fun to assume they are big drug lords instead of just average people. I mean who would expect a normal person could think of setting up underground train cars for their operation or training around 18 bears to protect their plants.

Well, the compound suggests at least a mid level installation. One of my neighbors runs a pretty serious meth lab. As criminal neighbors go, I could actually do a lot worse. He tends to mind his own business, and he's always friendly when we have to interact for some reason.

I was reading this in my Bussiness Education class. I dont know why, But when i read the post, I started Giggling when we were discussing The American Stock market. I have no idea why, But i found this funny.

More seriously, Unless it A Goverment Service or a emergency (Police, Medical team) Then i have no idea, Like fenrizz Said. Its rather Odd.

This reminds me of that episode of The Simpsons where Barney decides to quit drinking and learn how to fly a helicopter. I'm picturing in my head that scene where Barney wakes up Homer and Marge by hovering outside of their window, then asks if Homer wants to go for a ride.

Get yourself some chemlight sticks, a large kite and some heavy duty fishing line.

I'm not entirely sure where you're going with this, but I can say from experience that fishing poles make excellent retrieval mechanisms for kites. There's not much difference between a fishing leader and the little clips they use for more expensive kites, and reeling a line with gear ratios sure beats rolling in 500 feet of string completely by hand.
