Antisocial new neighbour

Our new neighbours who don't celebrate Christmas have decided it's ok to start jet washing the front of their house on Boxing Day! My family does celebrate Christmas and think this is really disrespectful.. does anyone agree?

Does any religion or religious festival have a problem with jet washing? New one on me if it does. 🙄

pictoosh · 26/12/2025 16:22

Hmm...nah. The jet washing is okay. It's just neighbours going about their normal life.
Boxing day isn't sacred or anything.

Even people who celebrate Christmas sometimes do home maintenance on Bank Holidays.
Why is it disrespectful?

BillyBites · 26/12/2025 16:21

It’ll be dark any minute so presumably they’ll stop then.

It's a bank holiday, we gave family visiting and its really noisy!

People are always gardening and doing noisy DIY on bank holidays.

That's your business, not theirs.

I don't know. Do you stop doing the things you would normally do when it's their religious holidays? Does everyone else around them?

If not, then yabu.
