to not want to hear this conversation whilst sitting out on my patio? (animal cruely triggering)

I live in a terraced house so obviously can hear everything that's being said in neighbouring gardens and a bit beyond.

My neighbours have gone on holiday and obviously sublet the house either to friends or an AirBnB type thing. The people subletting (from the sound of it) are two young couples, very posh - talking about the difficulties of getting a job in the City. Also shouting at Alexa (in the kitchen) from the garden.

They are eating dinner outside. There is one very loud young hooray, everything he's saying is with a mouth full of food. He's just been talking about websites he's been on where dogs are boiled alive for food and he's seen a whole deep-fried chihauaua, and says he'd love to try it, because obviously it's no different to eating pork. And it's racist to say otherwise.

AIBU to say he's a cunt of the highest order and I don't know why the 3 people eating with him aren't telling him to shut the fuck up. And how can he even have a partner, or friends?

And thanks for getting those images into my head you stupid, fucking, random stranger.

What makes you think that we want to hear it too?

It’s absolutely horrible that he wants to try it.
I kind of get that it’s no different to any other animal - but I say that as a vegetarian who takes it as actually we shouldn’t eat any of them!

It’s grim, obviously. But you can’t control what people talk about in their own garden (or one they are paying to use). You’ll just have to hope they aren’t staying long.
