Noise complaint at work. What are my rights?

[Big Dave]

How do you not be difficult in a mental health institution?

Disco - If I was on my noisy Thunderbird, I try and coast it in and idle it out. I wouldn't park it where I couldn't see it. But I'd try and find a work around.

If I was on my quiet Buell I'd tell them to get fucked. But then I'm not a 'career' guy IYKWIM. I've walked more than once.

Yes, follow viffermans approach, that breaks down the barriers.
My grandmother always thought than anyone who has a motorcycle was a bikie, and that's that, some (like me) where just well behaved ones.
I could never convince her otherwise.

Half the staff are as batty as the clients I think sometimes...


yeah, I hate it being out of sight. Tempted to turn up on a noisy hog...

[vifferman]

Still discrimination though if you ask me...

More than likely it is. But perhaps when the neighbours find out that just because you ride a big scary bike, it doesn't mean you're a big scary person who's going to kill them in their sleep, they'll change their tune.

If that doesn't happen, point out that they should be grateful you're not riding vifferman's bike with the spud out of the Satantune.

[Disco Dan]

They apparently also complained a while back when a staff member used to drive in with a big bore exhust on her car.... doesnt change anything though. Sounds like they are just winging...

Mental health disorders are contagious in a rub-off-flow-on kind of way.
I trust your motorcycle provides you with suitable immunisation.

See edited qualifier about careers - shot term gain long term pain vice versa etc etc.

Sometimes you just park it elsewhere for a week and everybody forgets and you then scam it back in. (Bonneville. Perth WA 1978)

My Grandmother, and most of that and the next generation, still believe it! And that cops cant lie and priests cant molest, and that lawyers are honest. Sounds like this neighbor has the same old beliefs and is taking it out on you...you dirty biker you.

Good luck with it. Be interesting to see how this pans out.

I am - I am .

[MSTRS:Me]

Im so tempted to be 'difficult'....

Who says you can't - you are, here....

[JimO]

tell them to get fucked they cant fire you for having noisy transport

[The Pastor]

yeah but not getting on with your boss can cost you a promotion and stuff like that.

[Coldrider]

Comes down to Career or Motorbikes.
What's it gunna B?
Seriously, you need to access the outcomes of both options, and act accordingly, but I'm a lifelong motorcyclist, so my decision would already be made. I'm a bad arse Kwaka rider, my grand mother was right afterall.

[NighthawkNZ:Me]

cmake the same complaint about the V8 Holden to your boss, it distracts you and your clients have complained to you...

[Ocean1]

More than likely it is. But perhaps when the neighbours find out that just because you ride a big scary bike, it doesn't mean you're a big scary person who's going to kill them in their sleep, they'll change their tune.

No they won't, they're big scary people who eat motorcicle riders who disturb their beuty sleep in the wee small hours.

Seriously, it's quite likely a valid bitch but there's no reason you shouldn't explain your problem and ask them for suggestions. If you do manage to resolve it your boss will be impressed too.

BD is very right, I see a lot of mental health workers from time to time as part my profession, and they are all nuts or weirdos.

I think we should stand still and give a few minutes of silent reflective thought to Mental Health Workers.

It must be very difficult overseeing people who will hopefully receive "Certificates of Sanity", whilst these workers never physically get such a certificate themselves.
