Effing noisy neighbours

Ugh. How snobby. How would you/OP/ anyone know if their vehicle was financed?

OP, you say you 'back on to them' - do you mean they're at the end of your garden then? Hopefully, once the weather breaks, they won't be as loud. I'd be tempted to go round and tell them how far their convos carry - have they thought of some soft furnishings in their cavernous extension? They might be mortified??!

Thank heavens someone is talking about the OP! So much derailing going on, I thought perhaps they'd name changed!

My next door neighbours are on their third day in the row of "having people round"... Fortunately, it's just too hot out there for me, even in the shade, so I'm sheltering inside. But even when I go out at 8:30/9pm to water my plants, they're still out there yakking and messing about with their two young kids.

The "joy" of neighbours I suppose!

oh - you’re the problem

No it wasn't, I was talking about OP.

Hosepipe

I have reported them-twice
Nobody seems to be bothered

If I can catch the yappy little sod,I will
It sees us and runs-its fast

My neighbour is watched the F1 from their garden last night - volume up! I knew someone Italian had won when I could clearly heard the national anthem at 11.15pm! Selfish!

Why don’t you report them for benefit fraud? And steal their dog and take it to a shelter.

You are the noisy neighbour with an outdoor sound system.

You are the nightmare neighbour for playing music in your garden.

My neighbour has a sound system in his garden he treats everyone living around him to his taste in music whenever the weather is nice. He thinks he’s so cool. I think he’s a selfish twat.

One set of neighbours are dreadful-the family are her,him and their 2 adult dds,3 cats and 2 dogs

They are council and we own (context-im not a snob at all)

They think they own the street (they think we rent so we get 'im telling your landlord to throw you ouuuttt!')

They have 2 dogs,one Is fine but the other is a yappy small breed

It yaps at everything-they haven't bothered to train it and seem to think that yelling at it/smacking it/ignoring it will stop it barking non stop

It comes into our garden (we've tried everything to keep it out as they dont bother) and shits everywhere

God knows what they've called it but in their accent it sounds like they are yelling 'rape!rape!stop it rape!' every 5 minutes

Sling in 'nothing compares 2 u' or 'it wasnt me' on full blast for 12 hours a day with them screaming at each other over the top of the music and what sounds like them slinging plates and mugs at each other

Then she'll get it in her head that we've done something (we havent) and she'll start threatening us over the hedge (last time it was for putting my washing out and before that,because i was at home and not at work as i was off sick-shes never worked a day in her life-im not benefit bashing,we need a system to catch people during hard times but shes proud of it 'working people are fucking mugs!' apparently)

He'll come home,(they are comitting benefit fraud as he doesnt technically live there) we're forgotten and she'll start on him-dog still barking,them still yelling 'rape!' at it,plates and mugs being slung at each other,him screaming 'all he does is work then come home to do everything you lazy cow!',she'll scream back at him and music still going full blast

Rinse and repeat every single day

The year after they set their house on fire was bliss-it was so quiet but they moved back once the house was rebuilt

The other side are lovely

I can't leave my job because the pension is too good and anywhere else in the area is too expensive now. I'm fifty one, been in this job just over a year, and it's my only pension. I have to stay in it.

Was that a response to me?

In answer to why I chose to live here; it was a very cheap house, and my last chance really, considering my age, to get a foot on the property ladder. Plus, even though I visited the house quite a few times at different times of the day to check out the neighbourhood, it was always quiet because we bought in winter.

Then my partner and I split up and it was either buy him out or sell, and buying him out made more sense at the time.

Trust me, I'd love to win the lottery and buy somewhere far away from anyone else, but it isn't happening.

Most noise isn't a problem, but nightclub volume drum and bass for hours during the day isn't fun or a normal level of suburban nouse.

That's a flipping long time to have to live next to this lot.

Like you say they're not going anywhere if I was stuck with them I would really consider my options and see what might be doable.
Good luck.

Someone suggested you live in Aberdeen?
Therefore they won’t be opening their doors very often? And please do tell us what colour your kitchen is….

This particular neighbour has also tried to threaten tradesmen I've had to the house, until one of them, a particularly large fellow, called hus bluff and squared up to him. The little runt scurried back behind his door when my tradesmen didn't back down!

I really don't understand these posts. If you don't like other people and can't tolerate norman human behaviour, why live next door to them? You're expecting them to whisper in their own house, then vindictively playing music loudly. It's mad.

Job, mortgage, cost of property now. I've got 16 years to retirement (can't afford early retirement), 14 years left on the mortgage. Once I've retired, I'm looking to move somewhere cheaper and with less neighbours! Parts of Scotland look appealing.

Shouldn't have to deal with all that crap.

What's holding you back from moving ?

They're all friends with each other, I'm the newbie (even though I've been here eight years now). Plus, they're council tenants so there's a no hope of them being evicted. The only time their behaviour was curbed was when I took a diary of incidents directly to the housing officer. It was an extensive, detailed diary that had dates, times and the direct effect on me written in it.

That's not good. You shouldn't have to feel kike that in your own neighbourhood.

What can you do ? They are unlikely to change. People who find that sort of behaviour acceptable don't see any problem.

What about your other neighbours how do they feel.about it ?

People talking is fine...playing music outside is awful.
I have no desire to be forced to listen to other people's music.
