Don't like firework stand fireworks that the neighborhood idiots set off that just make noise and scare the crap out of my animals. I'll tolerate them on the 4th of July but when they set them off on April 25 for no damn reason I get pissed. Last year the dumbasses started a fire with their fireworks and the fire department had to be called.
