To get “Revenge” on Neighbours

61 replies

Doseofreality · 23/03/2025 19:19

Nextdoor’s children are “shriekers”, over the top girls (aged 10 and 6) who scream, whine and yell all day long. This afternoon they have been playing and arguing so loud we can hear them over all 4 floors of our house. It’s particularly bad in the living room and they are so loud we can hear them over the television.
It’s constant and annoying.
No SEND, they are just brats whose parents don’t install any boundaries.

AIBU to therefore stream Cardi B’s unedited version of W.A.P to my television and blast it out, repeatedly, at ear splitting full surround sound volume?

I'm a bit nonplussed about why my (I thought!) very mild 'joke' about needing a stairlift to navigate a 4 storey house has been removed for 'breaching talk guidelnes'.

We used to live next door to a couple who were very lively and loud in their moments of passion, which appeared to take place all over the house. They were both men who had deep, strong voices, so the noise - grunting - carried significantly through the walls.
We wondered what to do and say, until, unbidden, our son (aged about 6) said to them across the fence "Jack, we heard you and Fin doing that piggy game again!".
Quiet thereafter.
My point; genuinely, a lot of people don't know how loud they're being until told!

YANBU Op - of course children make noise but what you describe is excessive. Evidently some responses from people who are very jealous about the amount of floors on your house.

I’m a bit unclear how many floors the OP has in her house.

Nor me. I think, maybe 4?

wizzywig · 23/03/2025 20:08

Join in op. It'd be cathartic

I’d do! I can’t stand shriekers or parents who don’t parent.

AHotMango103 · 23/03/2025 20:04

Ive had this a bit too OP

people are cunts and dont care about anything but themselves

ChardonnaysBeastlyCat · 23/03/2025 19:49

Shall I lend you my dad, OP?

Deaf as a post, won’t wear a hearing aid and has just discovered his love for every single zombie horror film ever made?

Mosquito device??

KezzaMucklowe · 23/03/2025 19:44

Go for it. It's the only way to get through to some people unfortunately.

4 floors? I feel your pain sister. Must be dreadful not having a single room in the entire townhouse to escape the noise.

She probably lives in low-rise flats 😁

Wow.

You are a delight.

Why is all the name calling directed at the children who have been taught this is normal behaviour by their parents?

UndermyShoeJoe · 23/03/2025 19:40

Yeah go for it. Grab the popcorn though as il
sure they will know all the words already.

Awakeatnite · 23/03/2025 19:39

If their parents aren’t religious, try blasting loud church music.
But seriously the only way I’ve got children to do anything, is bribing them with sweets

I have neighbours and their kids of the same age bracket to you. They were very anggresive annd confrontational to me about my dog barking. I said nothing to them back. Their children are thugs and out of control with behavioural issues. those children shreak and scream
all day. Last summer the parents often had get togethers with booming music until 1am. We’re on a housing estate and it was outside my bedroom window.
they’re clearly not civilised, don’t have measured responses. so I don’t think I could retaliate in any way at all without potentially risking my safety. I say and do nothing to them.

My friend has had neighbours like that for over a year and it has got worse and worse where she has been ill on and off for a long time . When she spoke poilitly to them they didn’t give a damn and it’s just got worse and worse . I’ve been there and it’s really loud like they are in her house . It’s awful for my friend as they don’t care

SnoopyPajamas · 23/03/2025 19:31

"Neighbours, everybody needs good neighbours

With a little understanding

You can find the perfect blend

That's when good neighbours become

Good friends . . ."

Awakeatnite · 23/03/2025 19:26

The op has already explained that the parents have no control over their children and aren’t considerate over how they behave and effect others.
I still dont believe they should be getting punished in that way, exposing them to sexual content is child abuse

Read the thread title and thought you'd taken the axing of Neighbours very hard 🦘
