My neighbor's generator just woke up my entire street at 5am

Sunday morning, 5am, I am in a deep sleep dreaming about finally finishing that PR review. Then BOOM. My neighbor decides this is the perfect time to test his new Tiger generator. The whole building shook. My ceiling fan started vibrating like it was about to take flight.

I checked my phone. 5:07am. On a Sunday. In Lagos Island. The irony is, NEPA actually gave us light last night from 11pm to 3am. So the man had light, slept through it, woke up at 5am, and decided to 'preserve' power for later by running gen. Now everyone is awake. I can hear babies crying, dogs barking, and someone's alarm going off in the distance. The chaos has its own rhythm.

I just lay there thinking, this is the real Lagos tax. Not the rent. Not the traffic. It's the 5am generator test on a Sunday morning when you finally have nowhere to be. My guys, tell me your Sunday morning generator story. I need to know I am not alone in this dimension of suffering.
