Passive aggressive neighbour?

Basically most Saturdays nights when the kids are with their nan I like to put music on etc.

Lasr night one of my NDN was blasting music on my bedroom wall side as well as playing playing some kind of bagpipe.

She also moved manure on the side of her driveway where I walk past with my DC.

We used to get on have a chat about out DC etc but over time she just blanks me.

If the music was bothering her surely she could have just approached me?

Of course I will be more considerate moving forward but is their behaviour passive aggressive?
They have never played music loud enough for me to hear and when I heard it I turned mine off.

I wouldn’t be able to deal with living next door to this I’m afraid.

Wtf has that got to do with anything? Any music played at a loud volume for over 5 hours is going to be an annoyance.

I'm curious to know? I'd make a difference to me.

I think it's been more than covered how inappropriate and anti-social playing loud music is, making that point is pretty superfluous. I just want to know what music she was playing.

There is also horse manure by her side of the drive where I walk with my DC.
Not very nice.

Maybe she’s tried to knock on your door, but you couldn’t hear her over your five-hour sessions of loud music.

Also it’s her side of the drive as you say. Maybe don’t walk there??

But why do you walk on her drive?

As your neighbour appears to be moving, I hope you plan to keep the noise down for the new neighbour. Having a neighbour who plays loud music at any time of day is a nightmare...and "only" 7 times in a month is a lot. The only time its ok is if you are having a party and warn your neighbours first (and/or invite them).

Now you know how she felt.

Hopefully you will be more considerate to your new neighbours.

Why has she got horse manure on her drive?

I think she might have a Piper on a horse in her garage, next to the shark tank.
