I hate fireworks. Especially when they shot up and it's with in 50 feet! And I know that those are most likely illegal! I want to sleep through the pain associated with this night. But I'm afraid it may be a long night.

Thank goodness it's now midnight where I am and the fireworks have finally stopped. I had to stay up to take some medicine--now I'm going to bed.

I hate them, too, when they're done in my neighborhood.

I like them on the 4th. I think people should be allowed to do them then. I was standing outside for about 20 minutes tonight watching them. It was a bit of a sensory overload but it was alright. I was more comfortable watching through the window. Any other day is annoying. I’ve seen one my cats, haven’t seen the other 2 all night.

About a week ago someone shot off a firecracker in the middle of the night and it scared me awake. Totally unnecessary.

We've had big problems in my town with illegal fireworks. People have been setting them off for 3 weeks already and last night was way over the limit. Some people were busted, but that sure didn't stop the rest. My cats were terrorized and I was worrying that something would catch fire, as if our fires here aren't bad enough already.

The two nights in the year that I dislike the most are New Years Eve and The 4th. I would say that the 4th is the one that's the worst. I don't like loud noises myself period. I realize that fireworks is a thrill, but it gets annoying with the noise, especially when you want to sleep.

I was watching a movie last night and it was distracting hearing the fireworks going off. Even though it was nice having an extra day off this weekend, I'm happy that The 4th with all of its noises are over.

I hate them. We have trash blowing all through our yard because our neighbors won’t pick up their mess when they’re done.

Been hearing fireworks since Juneteenth day Not saying, implying any coorelation. I do know that I am so sick & tired of hearing fireworks. When there were some on July4th it felt like an anticlimax.
