So these people complain about noise for a single day and throw a fit, and because of the complaints the school cancels the sports day and the police show up for it too

But when these assholes block traffic and people are literally dying on the road, they still do traffic control anywayโ€”so why do complaints about THAT get ignored? ใ…‹ใ…‹ใ…‹

And the sports day doesn't bother other people, but these idiots complain and throw a fit if kids are taking a walk in the stream and you're supposed to move out of the way.

This is ridiculous for real ใ…‹ใ…‹ใ…‹

Why do people complain about not having traffic control?

๐Ÿฅš

That's fair though. The sports day only happens once a year at most

๐Ÿฐ

I don't get the complaints about kids being loudโ€”most sports days are held during work hours when people are out of the house anyway

๐Ÿฅš

It's probably childless, bitter people and unemployed losers filing complaints

๐Ÿฅš

What about people working night shifts sleeping? Or people working from home? I'm not a fan of noise either, but there are reasons why some people are home at that time

๐Ÿฅš

80% of complaints come from 10% of people lol

๐Ÿฅš

Old folks probably did it. We had something similar at our apartment complex where the elderly and kids got into it

๐Ÿฅš

For real lmao

๐Ÿฅš

Stay-at-home moms with zero patience

Adults have to run on the road but kids can't even run on the playground in Korea

๐Ÿฟ๏ธ

Marathons are allowed because they make money

๐Ÿฟ๏ธ

wait this is actually insane ๐Ÿ˜ญ it's literally a sports day for kids, what do people expect? silence?

๐Ÿฅš

These fucking idiots who like child-free zones but hate the sound of elementary schools

๐Ÿฟ๏ธ

Complaints are just an excuse anyway. It all comes down to what the higher-ups want... Sure, people complained about not having the sports day, but there were probably complaints to have it too, right? So who actually gets to decide?

๐Ÿฟ๏ธ

This is what happens when people move next to a school and then complain about school noise lol. Peak NIMBY energy.

๐Ÿฟ๏ธ

honestly that's kind of sad ngl, those kids were probably so excited for sports day

๐Ÿฟ๏ธ

I would be SO mad if I was a parent paying for this. Just let the kids have one day???

๐Ÿฅš

this is why we can't have nice things anymore everything gets cancelled bc someone's mad about noise ๐Ÿ’€
