Any guesses as to why someone might be doing that would be helpful.

They saw a “Snookie”?
Why’d you have a terrible night’s sleep?
Cuz they’re stoopid poopy-heads and must be punished.
Sharing the pain, maybe? Obviously they weren’t sleeping, either.
@janbb : I know someone with a whip and stilettos…just sayin’...
I know this really isn’t a true question, but would it be any more acceptable for some loon to be banging on a can in the street if you had experienced a good night’s sleep?
Yes – it actually would; at least I’d have more tolerance.
OK – now a huge construction truck has shown up. It must be Persecute the Penguin Day and I didn’t get the memo.
It’s working. Now it sounds like a very large dentist is drilling in the street!
Around here it is the last day of school, maybe someone is celebrating? Or maybe they are poopy heads and need to be punished.
Are they erecting a giant Penguin statue in the street?
Or they are being MEAN poopy heads.
No giant Penguin statue emerging as yet – so the mean poopy heads theory is looking strong.
They are also blocking my driveway so I can’t escape. (I don’t normally suffer from a persecution complex.)
Open season on penguins? Be afraid. Be very afraid.
If it was a bunch of 8 years olds I would say they maybe “digging to China”, a favorite pass time of 8 year olds. ( I remember finding a stone bowl with a buddy of mine in his backyard, 600 years old they said at the museum.)
Do they not want me to make it to the weekend?
If it looks like that might happen, I’ll come rescue you!!!
PS @janbb – it’s actually me banging on the can. Can you see me? I’m waving… ...wait, maybe you just can’t hear me…I’ll bang louder.
Oy. I would so water-bomb him.
Check if your ‘Quiet, Penguin Reading’ sign has fallen from your door.
@flutherother (Runs down, checks door) You nailed it! And I will renail it to the door!
Murphy’s Law. You need sleep, so today is bang on a can day for someone. Life just works that way I think.
Oh, yeah, I know those guys. They do landscaping work on the tiny strip of grass next door to my apartment building every Tuesday morning for several hours. Sorry! I think they’re only job is to wake us up.
They had better move their butts before the weekend or I’ll have to come up and kick ass.
And the Penguin Posse is assembled and ready to ride!
