Ok, admittedly I’m just here to rant.

at 8.30am this lovely Sunday morning my neighbours, who are normally fine, started playing the SAME SONG on repeat at a defeating volume. Woke the whole house up and you can hear it in every room.

AIBU to think this is completely f-ing unacceptable?!

p.s there are some pregnancy hormones at play here but…. Shhh

Easter Sunday potentially means playing something in celebration. I get woken up during Ramadan by my neighbours eating before daylight. It's just something you accept. I'd have probably waited until 9am but this is something that is clearly important to them and their faith.

LOL they were celebrating Easter Sunday in a traditional way then. YABU get the lawnmower or hoover out

OrderOfTheKookaburra · 11/04/2023 00:10

At least it wasn't at dawn..... which is when quite a few Easter services start!

Well, you are certainly not being unreasonable to be upset. Perhaps even VERY upset. Lived? Maybe a wee bit unreasonable, but not by much. If this is the first time it has happened, take a deep breath, shrug it off. You might mention, when you can do so calmly, to your neighbors that the volume was loud enough to wake your entire household up, and would they please lower it a (good) bit in the early mornings, or for future reference, late evenings.

Playing Ace of Base 'I Saw the Sign' on repeat got a neighbour of mine stabbed to death in New Zealand. Not by us.

Sounds justified. I wouldn’t convict Grin

Is there a religious group for whom Easter is celebrated by playing a single song on a loop at home til your neighbours revolt?

😄😆

DietrichandDiMaggio · 10/04/2023 22:23

It was music of religious significance

Not to the OP, or even I presume most practising Christians in this country.

I don't understand why you think it's different? Please can you explain why you think it is.

A normal Sunday it would be unreasonable.
BUT yesterday was Easter Sunday…. 8.30am on Easter or Christmas is not unreasonable…

Just ask them to turn it down? Surely this isn't a problem?

Why not both?

Calling out bigotry? Didn't you very snidely correct someone's use of the English language? That was you, wasn't it?

hotdiggetydog · 10/04/2023 19:50

Maybe don't dish it out if you can't take it, @hotdiggetydog?

I'm sure they meant 'with all due respect. . . ' very useful phrase, that one.

@hotdiggetydog you must have missed the 'respectfully' Wink

Oh yes the classic "no offence but" insert very offensive comment here

For those of you asking what’s the song, we don’t know and it’s not in English but further detective work from DP reveals it’s a traditional gospel song. Normally lovely. Not this morning lol. At least I understand WHY now… and hopefully this is annual.

Gospel. You have more patience than me!!

I'd have probably tested out the speakers with Bat Out of Hell

then gone out for breakfast.

From everything I've seen you post on this site, I'd respectfully disagree. Most of us speak out of our mouths, not our rear ends.

It's not clarity, it's an unnecessary repetition.

I'll bet you say "PIN number" and "ATM machine" as well.
