Sun is out, neighbours are out. Who else has annoying neighbours..

Yes everyone is allowed to enjoy their garden and yes especially when it's sunny.

Unfortunately I live next door to the cast of Shameless.

First real hint of sun, out comes the Stella, the shouting, the kids screaming, the bbq.. it sounds like I live next to a loud pub garden..

I tried sitting outside with a nice cider about half 5 but had to come in because of the loud noise that is coming from next door. Sadly they are the type of neighbours where it could shut up about 9pm or it could go on until the early hours..

They've had police called on them (from other neighbours) for shouting, swearing and fighting in the street, they don't care for the law or anything else and talking to them have proved pointless in previous years.

Not a lot I can do, just feel like a whinge in here and not looking forward to another summer of them.. it's not forever because one day I will be able to afford to move.

Until then.. Sad

Us!

They’ve moved the climbing frame to right next to our fence and the kids stand on the top yelling to my dc, and they can see our whole garden, everything we do and through in to the kitchen Angry Not amused!

I've had to send my husband to tell the builders doing extension a few doors down (London - tiny gardens, very close together) to stop burning rubbish today so we can be in the garden without being smoked out... they shouldn't even be working today. Bastards. I already reported them to the council last week so they will get a letter next week. Fed up to death of it.

GeorgieTheGorgeousGoat · 19/04/2019 19:10

Some people are so rude aren’t they? I do wonder what goes through some people’s minds.

ZincOxideEugenol · 19/04/2019 19:20

My neighbours are away but their young adult daughter has all her loud squawky friends around. They're out the back garden and we've had to close our patio doors to stop the smell of smoke coming in. This is either pre-drinks before they go out, which means they'll all return in the early hours for a karaoke session. Or they'll be out back all evening making noise and being annoying. Such a shame because it's a lovely evening.

keepforgettingmyusername · 19/04/2019 19:23

Thankfully my immediate neighbours are lovely retired couple. But our estate has a big hedge and on the other side of that is another estate where all the children get together and scream their lungs out at a communal meeting place near their side of the hedge. I don't mind the sound of children having fun but it is relentless, until 11pm in the summer. Then September comes and it all goes quiet again until next Easter Confused

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 19/04/2019 19:27

Our neighbours have their noisy grandchildren around every bloody holiday and they scream and shout in the garden all the time. I HATE them.

And we also have the climbing frame situation, like George below. DP wants to go around and complain about the climbing frame, because the kids stand at the top of it and stare at him when he's out in the garden. I just want to tell them to tell the kids to shut the fuck up.

It's such a shame, because ut means we rarely get chance to enjoy our garden.

GoldenPineapples · 19/04/2019 19:31

People are bloody rude!

They've just had a brand new kitchen fitted with granite work tops so had all that banging going on for the last week or so.

They are a couple in their early 50s occupying a 3 bed council house where only them and their adult son lives there. The couple don't work either. Unfortunately they are the house for all and sundry to visit for a loud booze up..

There are now some pre teens running around outside my front window for some inexplicable reason and shrieking. Have set the dogs off barking. They seem impervious to my telepathic fuck off vibes.

gggrrrargh · 19/04/2019 19:36

My old Neighbours weren’t too bad, but the man did have a tendency to play a select few favourite songs very loudly and regularly over the summers. One of them was Hazel O’Connor ‘Will you’ - used to love it but after hearing it an additional 150 times over the years I can’t bear to hear it now.

AnneElliott · 19/04/2019 19:38

Our old neighbors were like this - we moved!

She used to sit in the garden in a bikini shouting into her phone. And he used to shout down from the loft room "Where are my trousers".

Then they had a barking dog that went mental every time he caught sight of one of my cats. My cat used to sit where he could see her and wash her paws. Dog used to go mental! Neighbors would then shout at the dog to "fucking shut up" Neighbours asked if we could train the cat not to sit there Hmm

Ceebeegee · 19/04/2019 19:39

Here too.
Dont mind people having a BBQ and enjoying their own gardens but do we really need the excessive shouting, shrieking, swearing and loud music.
The ones at the bottom of my garden are that loud, i can hear every word of their sweary drunken conversation

Dontforgettheice · 19/04/2019 19:41

sounds like mine. they inherited quite a lot of money 2 years ago and bought a house at the back of me. One of the first things they said to me (after asking if they could cut down my oak tree that has a TPO on it) was "can you believe they wont let *Wayne sign on anymore?!". They are both the colour of creosote from the amount of time they spend laying in their garden or ruining peoples cruises round the med. One of the first things they bought (apart from their 20ft trampoline) was huge quad bikes for their teenage sons. I believe these children are called Dipshit and Bastard from their mothers banshee wails.

So when they are not revving their quad bikes loudly and whooping as they drive them down the street, their summer leisure pursuits include inviting their entire family round for BBQs, shooting squirrels with their BB guns and pulling their 60" TV through the french doors onto the patio and watching sports outside at full volume. Today is one of those days.

*name changed as he actually has quite an exotic identifiable name.

ArgusFilchsCat · 19/04/2019 19:43

Cast of shameless! Grin think we have their relations next to us. Never been so grateful the new 6ft fence between us. My DC (10) commented on the swearing and stink of weed. They've now got out the karaoke machine and are dancing around the 3rd bonfire of the week. Can see a complaint going in about them soon.

GoldenPineapples · 19/04/2019 19:45

Mine told the young grandchildren to not swear (even though the adults swear constantly around them) then in the same breath tell the young grandson to "not be a faggot" for doing something girly ConfusedHmm

flugelhorn81 · 19/04/2019 19:48

Yep! This makes me feel better than it's not just us. The kids are constantly throwing stuff over our fence and there doesn't seem to be any supervision from the parents. There are about 15 of them living in a flat next door (London) and they're so noisy...

Babysharkdoodoodoodo · 19/04/2019 19:49

Ah fuck. I'm on nights Sunday and Monday. I've got the kids in the street shrieking and squalling, playing football against our wall, car, next doors car. Next doors did that lives outside, howling all day as it's a puppy and has just been chucked on its own in a kennel. Houses behind us full of students! Aaargh

Can't even close the windows as it's too warm now and if I put earplugs in, I risk not hearing my alarm.

I hate summer

Dontforgettheice · 19/04/2019 19:50

right on time, as im sat typing that out a ball has come over followed by Dipshit suggesting that his cousin/sister/daughter/all of above most likely "go ask the old woman at the back for your ball back, shes alright her". im 36 Confused. but at least "im alright".

ems137 · 19/04/2019 19:50

My neighbours are all pretty good really so this is more of a minor irritation but every nice day they have their music on outside. Not too loud or bad music BUT they're not even sat out there. I can't hear or see any people?! This is the same every nice weather day

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 19/04/2019 19:51

Pmsl at Dipshit and Bastard.

dingit · 19/04/2019 19:53

Mine have turned their music up full blast, so they can hear it from the house at the end of their garden. So can I, from everywhere 🙄

GoldenPineapples · 19/04/2019 19:55

Can't we just send these people to all live in one big neighbourhood so they can all just out-annoy each other!

Next door pissed me off last night. Started , yes actually started drilling at 9.30 pm . Drill resumed at 9.10am this morning.

Wtf do they find to drill, every bloody bank holiday?

polarpig · 19/04/2019 20:00

Don't go there OP you'll get flamed. Your neighbours can do what the fuck they like in their gardens and you have to either move to the middle of a field or put up and shut up even if you've had 1/2 an hours sleep and couldn't go out to escape the noise.

BalancingStick · 19/04/2019 20:00

Feel your pain. House next door was a rental - we had singletons, young professionals, families, all sorts really over the past decade. Didn't hear a peep from any of them. All friendly and said hello if we ever saw them. Last year house went up for sale - sold to a couple in their fifties. We sighed a sigh of relief. Big mistake. They are the worst neighbours ever. Sniff of sunshine and they chain smoke in their garden all day and night, music blaring, screeching and shouting at all hours. Awful people. Our only solace is that when they are old we will have teenagers (DC currently 2 and 3).
