To be annoyed by this neighbour

Hi OP, I'm sorry you're dealing with this moronic neighbour and also that you've come here for help and had some really goady replies instead. The social housing is absolutely relevant because it affects how you deal with it. It's a shame you've spoken to him because you've revealed who you are and generally people who act badly aren't amenable to civilised conversations anyway. The PP comments about dogs needing to wee are a nonsense deflection. The dog needs to wee but it doesn't need to bark. It barks because it hasn't been trained not to, and the fact that he brings it in after barking is not good enough. Everyone's already been disturbed. Contact the council for advice. Keep a log for a fortnight of all the early morning barking, all the loud conversations etc and send it to the council. His tenancy agreement will also have rules about how he behaves to neighbours, no intimidation etc. It's good you've got the other neighbour onside and as a witness. Join with them, and any others affected, to put pressure on the council to act. Most councils are pretty good at dealing with this sort of thing but if they drag their feet contact your MP. Don't let the selfish bastard win. Wishing you all the best.

I think the majority of people posting on this thread live in social housing and make.loads of noise with no consideration for anyone who lives around them. That's why they are being so aggressive and defensive😂

Why is it relevant that the house is social housing?!

Anonymous notes are sent by cowards. Imagine being a new person living alone and looking at your neighbours and wondering who sent it.

I'd be annoyed by the car exhaust but the rest of it doesn't seem such a big deal to me. I can't believe someone suggested contacting your MP.

Oh come on so you think having loud speaker phone conversations multiple times a day and revving a noisy exhaust is normal and you'd be fine with it? Yeah right.

Try reading some of OPs replies

Op it would all annoy the hell out of me too.

However, I doubt the housing provider will care as he's not doing anything illegal. They'll be regularly dealing with anti social behaviour and noise on the extreme end of the spectrum so they're unlikely to care much about this tbh.

I think the best thing to start with is to say "hello how are things are you settled in yet, have a few pleasantries then word it along the lines of "I'm sure you don't want me overhearing every word of your private conversations so I'm just letting you know that the noise really carries" and see if he takes the hint and lowers the volume. He probably won't though!

Or just non confrontational, or safe if you know he’s aggressive

I have read the entire thread and I stand by my opinion. You are just throwing insults. Another thing that is a bad look on you

I’m far from annoyed. I am actually laughing about how defensive and cross you are 😂

I have done and I still don’t think it’s relevant!

She could’ve said landlord! Exactly the same thing. OP can pretend there was a relevance to it by saying “should I contact the SOCIAL HOUSING provider” (which is far more to type than landlord but means the same thing in this context, funny that!) but we all know this was absolutely said to try entice a hostile narrative towards social housing properties!

That’s fine, but she’s answered the question plenty of times, she’s obviously not going to come back with a different answer.

'We' don't 'all know' any such thing. Given the numerous times that the OP has said she doesn't have any particular issue with social housing and that her own parents live in social housing, Im doing her the courtesy of believing her rather than stomping about the thread with a weird Citizen Smith complex.

Could you not just have a non confrontational chat?
Just smile and tell him you can hear every word, did he realise?
Maybe offer your services as a dig sitter if he ever needs one.
My neighbour games loudly in the early hours. We get on well so I don’t bother but also I know he can hear me snore because he yelled through the walls once and woke me up.
I think it’s much harder to be obnoxious if you get on at some level.

OP has already tried this - he told her to piss off.

Ignore the deliberate goaders OP. Sad sacks. He sounds like an absolute anti social scroat. Do anything you can to ensure he gets shifted. Sick of scumbags affecting other people in this world. 💐 for you.

Pretending that social housing tenants aren't almost always worse than people who purchased the property isn't some great moral insight.

The hot still air near where I live, does seem to make the sound carry more than normal.

I'm hoping it's going to be quieter again when the weather changes. His house will have the windows shut and yours will be too so there is hope.

And the dog might change it's behaviour when it's cold and raining.

Good luck

Neither is this stupid comment.
