Would neighbours playing music in garden annoy you?

Another neighbour one! Sorry I have read so many this on week on here lol!

For months now my NDN will play loud music in their garden.

Sometimes it is on from noon to 9pm.

Other times until midnight (in the house but I can hear it throughout my house).

I just don't think it's very considerate.

When I had my bins on my own drive she moaned that they were close to her window and complained about "hygiene issues" but the cheeky cow regularly fly tips down the road.

I moved the bins as I wanted to remain neighbourly but somehow she knows I don't like her so her and her OH now keep their distance which is fantastic as I hated her coming up to me and listening to her talk about herself for ages.

Would this annoy you or is my dislike for her overpowering me on this?aubu

@Blackcatahotcat Yes I have always been like this but for some reason she just would always approach for me to talk.

After I began saying "I will let you get on" and cutting her short she picked up on the hint I didn't want engage further than a hello with her.

yes it is really annoying

Well yes, of course it's inconsiderate but what have you said to her about it?

And have you reported her for fly tipping?

YANBU. It's really selfish to assume that anyone else wants to hear your music. I'm sure a lot of what I like isn't to everyone's taste so I make sure it's contained within my house.

I also hate it when people walk around the streets playing music out of their phone. Just stop.

Don’t get involved with any neighbours. Keep yourself to yourself. Pray for rain.
