Page 4 | Mowing lawn at 7 am !

Sunnyday321 · 2025-06-02T06:00:49+00:00

Tell me my dh is being unreasonable ? We have a noisy petrol mower at he is outside mowing the lawn ! I've been out ( in my nightie ! ) and told him it's too early , and he has told me it's not . Surely it's way too early ?

Bamboozledbylife · 02/06/2025 10:59

What a selfish dick! I'd be furious. Lots of passive aggressive noise in return from me 😂

DevonMum123 · 02/06/2025 10:52

Inconsidered muppet. Definitely not right.

Umidontknow · 02/06/2025 10:52

7am in the week isn't early - you'd have a point on a Sunday though.

Suffolker · 02/06/2025 10:47

Yes. Unquestionably unreasonable.

BIossomtoes · 02/06/2025 10:39

It would be too early if it was Sunday. 7am on a Monday? Can’t see the problem.

Well I ran a gardening business employing 2 labourers for 16 years. I was already at my second job by 8am. Yours sounds a bit slack not starting til 9am.

He does a fab job so I’ll let him off 🤷🏻‍♀️. Suits us both.

chattyness · 02/06/2025 10:37

I would be livid,yes he can do it legally, but what about some consideration for any people in the area who work nightshifts? It's madness cutting it with the morning dew still on it anyway.

We are up every day 6am. 7am isn't a big deal.

Not everyone is on your schedule though

Well our gardener turns up to work at 9am. I assume between 7 and 9 he’s showering, brushing his teeth, eating his breakfast and getting dressed.

It’s the new version of the competitive undereaters club I think - the competitive early risers!

Yep. Also part of the 'I walk 20,000 steps a day' club. 😆

How can people be asleep at 7am on a weekday? Surely most people have work or school?

You Can’t really work around shifts as they are so variable.

People might have a day off? It's still the school holidays where we are as we get two weeks.
It's inconsiderate to make excessive noise so early.

It’s weird isn’t it? I wonder what these people would say about someone mowing their lawn at midnight, because ‘who the hell goes to bed before then?’
Some people are more productive in the evenings but like to sleep later. It’s a body clock thing, not a virtue thing.
I am an early riser, but that doesn’t mean I think everyone should be. If someone works from home, starting at 9am for example, why would they need to be up at 7?
Getting up early doesn’t make someone a better person.

Lonelydave · 02/06/2025 10:26

7am is too early, 8 at a push. but it depends upon neighbours etc..,

Eh???? You do realise that at least half of the population don’t have school age DC or 9-5 jobs! Think a bit wider than your own small world.

Waaaaaay too early. Though you will always get the virtuous '5am club' on here saying it's 'halfway through the day,' and accusing anyone who gets up after 8am of being lazy and slovenly... 🙄 I would be legit fucked off if my neighbour mowed the lawn at 7am. Who DOES that? I'd think they were deliberately trying to piss me of, or they were losing the plot.

GertrudePerkinsPaperyThing · 02/06/2025 10:14

I think it’s allowed, and not too awful on a weekday, but if it was on a weekend it would definitely not be on!

Oh well if you’re up then of course the whole world should be 🙄

DriveMeCrazy1974 · 02/06/2025 10:10

It's a weekday. I wouldn't be that bothered by somebody doing this at 7am on a weekday. If it was a weekend, I'd be furious!
Mind you, I live on a road that is busy and a local business that seems to think it's OK to do renovations (with machinery) at 7am on a weekday morning, so maybe I've just got used to this kind of thing.

Lots of people are still in bed at 7am!

7:30 wake up and get ready / get kids ready
8:15 depart for school
8:30 school drop off
9am I start work

Yeah, work and school but still in bed at 7. Lucky enough for both to be close to home so very little commute.

You might be up but what about your neighbours??
It's only fine to do anything noisy at 7am if you happen to live in the middle of nowhere

CarrigDubh · 02/06/2025 10:03

If you are in Ireland, where it is a bank holiday today, then too early. But if it's a working day, then while it's a little early it's probably OK.

Birds don't have a peak feeding time. They feed all day long. I've also never known any birds to be scared off by a lawn mower. They might startle and fly up if it makes a lot of noise starting up but that's all. The world is noisy and they really wouldn't survive if noise worried them.

Show quote history

You clearly have no clue about wildlife. A lot of birds and other wildlife is at risk because of humans. Bird numbers are dropping year on year.

MintChocCat · 02/06/2025 09:37

I think 7am is too early to be mowing grass. 8am seems more reasonable.
