bloody hell, nearly 100-year-old pipes and they start digging at night? classic wellington water

Chloe Martin2026-06-22T07:17:16.000Z

why do they always do this in winter? freezing cold and noisy as hell

ffs just get some decent noise cancelling headphones and stop whinging

Casey Adams2026-06-22T07:28:16.000Z

get stuffed. you're probably the one drilling at 2am

Casey Adams2026-06-22T07:09:16.000Z

love how the solution is 'earmuffs over headphones' instead of actually fixing the noise problem. typical

Kai Thompson2026-06-22T07:22:16.000Z

as someone who works on these crews, we hate the noise too but the pipes are literally collapsing. give us a break

Morgan Lee2026-06-22T07:29:16.000Z

imagine trying to sleep with a jackhammer outside your window at 10pm. i'd be fuming

Tom Harris2026-06-22T07:43:16.000Z
