I despise church bells. Hourly is bad enough but every 15 minutes? Imagine if any other entity decided they could just blast their theme song loud enough for the entire town to hear every 15 minutes. There’d be immediate uprising.

I grew up living next to a convent, and the nuns who lived there had a bell that would be rung every hour.

After moving away from that house I would sleep incredibly badly, and I always wondered if I was waking throughout the night "surprised" at the absence of the bell, which I'd otherwise heard every day of my life.
