To wish my neighbours would stop slamming their front door?

I just don’t understand how some people can be so inconsiderate. I live in a small terrace house in London (before anyone asks, no, there are no detached houses around here). EVERY time my neighbours leave or come home they slam the door so hard it’s so loud and I can almost feel my house shaking.

Last night the door was slammed several times at 1.30 am. I just don’t think it occurs to them “it’s late, people are sleeping so I will open and close the door really quietly”.

And no, I can’t speak to them about it - only vent my frustration here.

It's frustrating. My neighbour sits in his mid life crisis Porsche every morning at 5am and revs it loudly for 5 minutes before driving away. It always wakes us up. So inconsiderate but that is how some people are.

Ah yes. My next door neighbours do this. Every door. Always slammed with all their strength so my walls vibrate. Literally just done it as I’m typing this. Drives me mad. They are generally very nice though so I put up with it and just mutter to myself when needed. Their daughter is entering her teens and my god, the teen tantrums she throws are loud too. 😂

Same here and at 2,3,4 in the morning it wakes our dog who barks (literally 3/4 alert barks- he's not a constant barker) You think they'd hear him and think that they'd probably also be waking us. But nope. They get in the car and slam those doors too.

You have my sympathies, vent away.
I pity my poor across the road neighbours. The house they are attached to slam every door repeatedly - front door, porch door, car doors. It drives me mad from over here, their house must shake every time the slammers leave their house! So inconsiderate.
