Reminds me of that scene in The Blues Brothers when they go up to Elwood's tiny room and there's a busy double L right outside the window.
Jake: How often does the train go by?
Elwood: So often you won't even notice it.

I spent a couple of weeks in a motel when moving house and my unit was only a few yards from the main trunk railway. The Auckland to Wellington express went by every night. Horn blowing and shaking my bedroom! The first night I woke up in horror at having been woken up so cruelly and knowing it would be the same every night. The second night I woke up but drifted back to sleep easily. The third night and all the following nights, I didn't even hear it unless I was already awake. It's amazing what you can get used to!

Wow! That's awesome you were able to sleep through that
I've been sleeping through the trash pickup lately

Would you rather be picked up like a baby and stared at by a red faced man, or watch my hilariously disabled father plummet down a steep staircase on his broken-down wheelchair; his high-pitched, campy voice shrieking in terror, his idiot head thrashing from side to side as he meets his doom?
