We have lived next door to a family with a son who is obsessed with playing “tennis “ against the wall for about 10 years now.
He hits the ball at about serve level intensity.
It wasn’t too bad when he was younger as it was mainly after school and also our son who is a bit younger also used to play football outside, so although it was a bit annoying, it was understandable.
It got a bit worse around GCSEs and a levels as he obviously had more spare time, so would be thwacking it multiple times a day into the evening and starting about 8am usually.
He is now at uni (hoorah) but seems to be home a lot, still thwacking multiple hours of the day. He must be 19+ by now….
He hits it against his garage wall which is right next to our kitchen and office where my husband works from home and our bedroom above.
He shows no signs of stopping. He doesn’t seem to go out or see friends ever, or work.
We have never said anything because I’ve always presumed it’s just a phase and prefer to keep the peace, but this is ridiculous isn’t it?
