Here’s the infamous song that the college was blasting
“If petty revenge is deserved, people should absolutely dish it”
To learn more about this specific situation, we reached out to the nurse who shared this story on Reddit, Glad-Ad-2032, who was kind enough to have a chat withBored Panda. First, we wanted to know what inspired her to share this story now. “I was wondering if I should post in r/AITA or r/pettyrevenge. It’s been on my mind now and then, and I honestly just wanted to be able to coexist with the students having fun,” she explained.
We were also curious if she had heard anyone else complaining about the music before she decided to speak up. “We had just moved here, and I had no idea this was a thing or tradition until after I’d called the police (civil servant in the office), and he said he used to live on the same street and hated it,” she shared.
“After this incident, I heard of one other that hated it,” the OP added. “I don’t know if people just suffer through or enjoy it. So I felt bad the next year when the music was down to almost nothing because I was pleased when it was down to where I couldn’t hear it inside with closed windows.” And as far as her thoughts on petty revenge, the nurse says that if it’s deserved, “people should absolutely dish it. But classy, stay classy!”

Noise pollution can take a serious toll on our health and wellbeing
No matter how much you love listening to music, you’re never going to love every single song, and you’re definitely not going to like any song that’s blasted at you to the point where it starts creating noise pollution. TheEuropean Environment Agencynotes that noise pollution is a serious issue for both human health and the environment. Being constantly exposed to environmental noise, particularly sounds from traffic, has been found to negatively impact a person’s health and wellbeing.
In fact, 20% of residents in Europe are being exposed to long-termnoiselevels that are harmful to their health, the EEA says. These sounds can cause annoyance, sleep disturbance, negative impacts on our cardiovascular and metabolic systems and even cognitive impairment in youths. Environmental noise is estimated to have contributed to 48,000 new cases of coronary heart disease each year and 12,000 premature deaths.
The EEA also estimates that 22 million people are suffering from “chronic high annoyance,” and 6.5 million individuals suffer from chronic high sleep disturbance. At the same time, over 12,000 children are struggling with reading impairment in school due to the disturbing amount of noise they can hear from airplanes.
While noise pollution is often overlooked as a significant health issue, the World Health Organization actually found that it is the second largest environmental cause of health issues, behind only air pollution. It can have a significant impact on our mental and physical health, and it can do just as much damage towildlife.
Animals are typically even more sensitive to sound than humans, and noise pollution from cities can cause species to be pushed out of their homes to try to relocate to quieter areas. It can also cause them significant stress and change their migration routes, which often leads to many deaths due to not having safe paths available.

Sleep deprivation is extremely dangerous
Nurses in particular are at high risk of becoming sleep deprived due to the nature of their job and the hours that they work.Amerisleepreports that a whopping 60% of nurses experience sleep issues, which can lead them to make preventable mistakes while on the job. Their physical exhaustion can also take a toll on their mental health, job satisfaction and cause them to drive impaired after shifts, putting themselves and others on the road at risk.
