Default Am I becoming a grumpy old man?

I was woken up this morning by some one from the local Indian / tex Mex (based in the ramada), walking very noisily down the shared access path to my place and pushing leaflets through the door , with no effort to be quiet - at 2:45 AM!

I feel like i'm becoming a bit of a grumpy old man, but surely there must be some rule that says 'deliveries' cant be made at that time - certainly can't persuade DHL to deliver after 6pm (slightly different i know, but still....)

I feel like telling the restaurant if it happens again I'll be on to the police, but i'm not sure what I'd complain about (and i'm sure they have far better things to do). Am i just being grumpy due to lack of sleep, or are they out of order?

No Tommy, that would annoy most people, there is no fecking logical or acceptable reason for it either.

Apart from the fact I'm sick to the back teeth of these flyers coming through my door every fecking day, people just dont take other people into account these days.
We've got about 8+ takeaways within half a mile of our house so get all their crap, all the time, does my head in.

We've just got back from Crete, stayed in a largish hotel, people can't even close their fecking doors without slamming them at all hours.
The bloody frogs and crouts next to us were noisy as feck and there's us trying to be quiet when we came in cos they had children next door.

See, that's how you b1tch like a grumpy old man

I note with interest that you only stipulate that a foreigner would annoy you with back passage pushing. Would you like to reword?

grumpy here too. I have them coming through the door from takeaways several miles away. Added to that those irritating plastic charity bags, that aren't charity, they're profiteering sh1tbags. I get one of those every day! Make great bin liners
