I don't mind a single occasion for 5-10 minutes, maybe twice a year.

Yesterday it felt like I was living in a microwave, next to the popcorn bag. That's less preferable.

It's a first world problem, but I've been playing a game where relying on sounds is key. Including distant explosions. Wearing headphones (otherwise I would have hated bonfire night even more) it was hard to tell what's real and what's not.

But even outside of the game, after a while it gets pretty exhausting for me. I don't think the general populace is responsible enough to use fireworks safely and considerably.
