Some people have less of a choice of the hours they must work. You don't want a hot dog truck at 4am, and I don't want to hear traffic at 5pm.

I think some people just whine too much and expect everyone else to conform to their world, when they may be the odd one out, themselves.

Back when my neighbour was building an addition on his house while I was working third shift, I had no problems leaving my car stereo on loudly while I drove to or form work. But I also learned to DEAL WITH IT. and stopped trying to annoy him back after a week or so.

Also, I wouldn't have a problem with a 24-hour hot dog truck. The rest of the town might, however. I miss living in a town with a 24-hour grocery store, 2 24-hour dunkin's, etc. Before I moved to Davis, I'd always assumed *all* Groceries, Dunkin's, and gas stations, were 24/7 (Nevermind Store24).

Yeah, same here, where I come from Dunkin Donuts and Store 24s are all 24 hour and I was shocked to find that it was different here in Boston, where the T stops running before the bars close... 24 hour convenience places certainly never seemed to attract any kind of bad seed littering noisemaking 4am crowd, though. Or a lot of extra taxis or anything. Seriously, who would take a taxi to Davis Square at 4 in the morning to go to Dunkin Donuts? Or stick around for hours after all the entertainment places are long closed to buy some cereal? That makes the no sense.
