If you wake your neighbours by hosting a party

It should be a law that if you wake your neighbours up at silly o'clock because you're having a party, at full volume outside, you should have to invite those neighbours to the party.

I don't actually want to go but I do think they at least owe me a bloody drink or two given their shit attempts at karaoke and apparently inability to know their limits are the reason I'm at up before 4am.

Anyone else got inconsiderate neighbours.😢

They appear to have now gone inside, no doubt to sleep off their fabulous hangovers whilst the rest of the street has to face their days on no sleep. In these circumstances it's acceptable to let small children out to play and to mow the grass before 7am right?

Yes, if you want to ensure all your neighbours get no sleep at all! Others might not have to get up with children so I’d let them have a lie in rather than lawn mowing before 0900.

Oh wow that sounds horrific. Hopefully you can move soon and your new neighbours are lovely. I wonder if it's teenagers like this who weren't brought up to respect others that then move out and become people like my new neighbours.

Our neighbours have teenagers that throw awful parties. Everytime they go on holiday we have 2 weeks of nonsense. Last time I woke up to tomato ketchup all over my car as they’d had a food fight on the street at 3am.

The music is loud, they are up until the crack of dawn and the behaviour is awful. The parents don’t care and let them have the occasional party when they are home, but it has a firm end time of about midnight, which I can cope with. It also doesn’t end up on the street so the noise is contained to their garden instead of surround sound.

I can’t wait to move

@PowerTrip
it’s going to be a long summer!

are they off work this week?

I have no idea what jobs they have, they live at the back of us. I bloody hope they are not at work today, they must be approximately 80% alcohol at this point.

Sorry to hear some of you have similar neighbours. These ones moved in at some point between now and last summer, not 100% sure when. Today is the first time they've had a party but it seems unlikely it's a one off. They have about 14 people currently in the garden/kitchen from what I can see.

Fuck that !!
I feel your pain we had a neighbour that had parties any day of the week 5am finishes were not uncommon.

They are still outside and currently murdering wonderwall. Even the dog looks unimpressed. Today is going to be a long day.
