Too noisy …

80 replies

Beansprout30 · 01/08/2023 00:28

Im on a family holiday,
me, kids, reluctant hubby and my mother in Cornwall. Worked hard all year for this break, me and mum like to wrap up for the great British summer and sit outside for a drink and a chat and some CF has just ‘sssh’ us at 11.15, some guy trying to sleep. Are we being unreasonable?! No music, just a mum and daughter chat outside our house after a crazy day with the kids ……

Yes. You're too noisy.

Peony654 · 01/08/2023 05:54

YABU. He’s had to tolerate your ‘chaos’ all day, and talking outside is really annoying. It’s also so cold at night at the moment. You definitely can sit inside

justanothermanicmonday1 · 01/08/2023 05:50

YADBU.

After 10:30 go inside if you have neighbours x

FunGamesStuff · 01/08/2023 05:47

YABU and really mean. It would be easy to go inside.

The CF is you.

readbooksdrinktea · 01/08/2023 05:10

I'm surprised you have to ask but since you did: the cheeky fucker is you.

I live in a row of 5 cottages. Ours is the only one that isn’t a holiday rental. Every night is a holiday for them, but not for me. Be considerate of those around you.

I would go bonkers. You poor thing.

Zanatdy · 01/08/2023 04:47

11.15 yes, go inside if you must chat at that time. Might not be late for you but for many it is

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 01/08/2023 04:39

YABU obviously. Just go inside and carry on your conversation.

OctopusWave · 01/08/2023 04:27

You are definitely unreasonable

HappiDaze · 01/08/2023 04:26

You mentioned a crazy day with kids

Was this noisy chaos also in around the house

Marvellous for those WFH especially those next to AirB&B lets or who get home after work wanting a bit of peace and quiet only for the holiday let next door getting their money worth's

What a lucky man your temporary neighbour is

HappiDaze · 01/08/2023 04:21

Go inside people where no one else has to listen to your boring conversation.

We just want to sleep

HappiDaze · 01/08/2023 04:20

Yes YABVU

Why can't people understand how their voices, no matter how quiet you think you are, travel in the dead of night when it's completely silent and on a weeknight when loads of people have to work.

He left it till after 11pm being the cut off time for noise

WandaWonder · 01/08/2023 04:13

Why does saving money mean you can be noisy after 11pm? there is not enough letters to say unbelievably rude this is to assume you being noisy outranks anything else

yogasaurus · 01/08/2023 04:06

And how hard you’ve saved is completely irrelevant

yogasaurus · 01/08/2023 04:05

Yabu.

iPreferBooks · 01/08/2023 03:58

YABVU...

Annaishere · 01/08/2023 03:24

YANBU. If I want to sleep during the day I can’t expect the world to accommodate me. Night sleepers shouldn’t either

jackstini · 01/08/2023 03:17

Yabu.
Between 11pm and 7am you keep it quiet

nalabae · 01/08/2023 03:13

I'm with everyone else you're unreasonable

Onthebrink87 · 01/08/2023 03:07

YABU 🤦‍♀️

NoisePolice5 · 01/08/2023 02:53

Or if it’s another family who have ‘worked hard this year for their break’ and want some peace and quiet … your needs/wants don’t trump theirs.

GetInTheBinThenGetInTheSea · 01/08/2023 00:52

Yeah, you're being unreasonable. Keeping people awake so you can have a chat isn't alright.
