I live on a busy street and it has its own host of city noise in the morning / throughout the day that I have accepted as a feature of living in a big city. Every morning, approximately 6 days a week at 6:30/7AM until 9:30-10AM, a woman stations herself on the corner across my apartment and begins to ask morning commuters for money / food by yelling down the block “sir or ma’am, can you help me?” at a rate of ~5x per minute. It is louder than any car or bus noise that comes to life at that hour, and wakes me up almost every morning.

I have brought her breakfast before because I have sympathy for her. I don’t have a problem with her being there, but really the volume of her requests. WIBTA if I asked her to lower her voice?
