I know this really isn’t a true question, but would it be any more acceptable for some loon to be banging on a can in the street if you had experienced a good night’s sleep?
If it was a bunch of 8 years olds I would say they maybe “digging to China”, a favorite pass time of 8 year olds. ( I remember finding a stone bowl with a buddy of mine in his backyard, 600 years old they said at the museum.)
Oh, yeah, I know those guys. They do landscaping work on the tiny strip of grass next door to my apartment building every Tuesday morning for several hours. Sorry! I think they’re only job is to wake us up.
