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 ?

Not a time I would choose! But at least it’s a week day and people are likely up getting ready for work.

Mingenious · 02/06/2025 07:55

Absolutely fine on a week day.

How could you possibly know that? my grass is bone dry 🤔

Morning dew. The ground may be bone dry but there is moisture on the blades from the dew and they clog the mower when damp.

Idiot. The grass is too wet too.

I didn't really understand yours tbh. I have no beef with the bin men. I was just stating they woke people up

It was clear you were being factual rather than critical. The response you got was v childish!

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.

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

Bin lorries are around emptying bins on weekdays from 6.30am! They are incredibly noisy!

6am here.

It's too early for the grass but 7am is when people with cars start them up (often noisily) for work, buses are running, kids are up getting ready for school runs etc so noise wise, as long as it's not extreme it's fine.

madamegazelle1 · 02/06/2025 07:47

Inconsiderate! I think after 8 is acceptable. Would he be happy if next doors kids were bouncing and shrieking on the trampoline at 7am?

Koalafan · 02/06/2025 07:46

K0OLA1D · 02/06/2025 07:45

I was already awake. I was just saying they woke everyone up before 6am.

Wouldn't give a shite if my neighbour mowed his grass at 7am on a work day. Wouldn't do it myself.

Ooo, how terrible of them, removing your rubbish for you.

8 fine 7 no

K0OLA1D · 02/06/2025 07:05

Bit earlier, but it would be worse at 7am on a weekend or bank holiday. The bin men woke the world up at 5.45 this morning

Ooo, how terrible of them, removing your rubbish for you.

Koalafan · 02/06/2025 07:42

It's not unreasonable at all, especially if rain or extremely hot weather is forecast later on.

Can I swap mine for one of them please?

Is be annoyed if you were my neighbours, my alarm doesn’t go off until 7.45am (woke up early today)

babystarsandmoon · 02/06/2025 07:36

2025ishere · 02/06/2025 07:03

Yes it’s too early unless you live on your own island or you neighbours all have toddlers and will have been up since 5 anyway.

babystarsandmoon · 02/06/2025 07:35

I’m already up for the day at 7 but I’d still feel a rage building as a neighbour and think you inconsiderate twat.

cremebruleee · 02/06/2025 07:33

Oh you’ve bought out the competitive early risers OP 😂! 7am is practically midday to them!

I’d be a bit irritated. Just like when my neighbour revs his motorbike at 7am. Or the people out the back let their kids out on the trampoline at 7am. I wouldn’t say anything but there’s no need to make that much noise that early. No one round here cuts the grass until after 9, weekday and weekends.

ilovepixie · 02/06/2025 07:32

Too early. A lot of people could still be asleep.

Yes I obviously agree it's too early ( hence the thread ) inspite of me going out and telling him he carried on ,p. He must have thought about it and came in 10 minutes ago and is now watching t.v.
He has an infected finger at the moment , and I think it's sent him weird !

ThreePointOneFourOneFiveNine · 02/06/2025 07:29

Rude and inconsiderate. I’m up by then, but I’m not so self absorbed that I don’t realise other people might not be. I wouldn’t do anything noisy in the garden before 9.

PlopAlongCassidy · 02/06/2025 07:28

Yes, it's too early if you have neighbours

tripleginandtonic · 02/06/2025 07:26

Moat people are awake by 7, work and school. Yabu
