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

[GoldenPineapples]

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..

I have neighbours that sit outside smoking and drinking all day and night when it’s sunny. And we only have a crappy chain link fence between us. The kids constantly come over and stare or talk to my 3yo and where the position their table they can see our whole garden almost. My DH is too fucking tight to spend out on fencing claiming he will do it. Two years later... I basically don’t use my garden as I’m watched every minute I’m in it and feel awkward as fuck. Such a shame when the weather is so nice. Hate where I live!

Oh the worst was when the son would talk loudly to his fucking stupid mates over headphones playing computer games at 2am He seems to have stopped that now he has a girlfriend.

do we really need the excessive shouting, shrieking, swearing and loud music?

This!!

My flat overlooks communal gardens and even the hint of decent weather means I have groups of people shrieking, drinking and just generally being really loud. And don't get me started on the constant BBQs. I hate the smell of BBQ now. The acoustics of the garden area (within a gated development) mean that the noise is really loud and it sounds like they're actually in my flat with me. And that's with the windows closed! Windows open is unbearable. This racket usually starts around 11am and goes on until 2am, sometimes much later. It drives me nuts. My individual neighbours may only sit drinking (and shrieking) in the garden once a month but there are lots of flats here and that means for me the noise is constant all day and night every weekend and bank holiday plus weekday evenings from March to October.

When I bought my flat many years ago, there was no garden furniture etc and everyone referred to the garden as "an oasis of calm". Those days are long gone. I dread good weather. It feels like this Easter weekend is going to be a very long weekend indeed. I used to go away most/all bank holidays to avoid the racket but unfortunately my job was cut before Christmas and I'm struggling to find work so I can't afford to go away right now. Confined to barracks and trying to find a way to be more tolerant but failing.

My neighbours are really getting me down at the moment.
When her children are there they play football indoors for hours at a time (against our shared living room wall) they run around the house screaming & crashing about.
When the kids are at their dads we have neighbour & boyfriend recreating every bad porn film they have ever seen at full volume.
Last night the loud porn noises started at around 8pm, which is nice for me to listen to whilst watching tv with my 13 year old daughter. They must know we can hear them but they are just selfish arseholes.

Thankfully the massive family next door seems to have been out all day (hopefully away!), but I fear I am tempting fate as they have had several incredibly loud and raucous, early hours parties since moving in. Really inconsiderate stuff in a tiny neighbourhood.

I have this living on edge, wondering.

I am an early bee, but I do quiet stuff - like this morning painting some garden furniture, but with earphones in. Wouldn't dream of imposing my noise on others.

The horrible lot from next door but one have gone on holiday and it's bliss! No screaming kids, no shouting, no vans or motorbikes revving, no radio blaring all day and night. We can hear birds singing and the other neighbourhood children playing at a normal volume. We can even leave the windows open and still hear the TV.
The other neighbours have commented on how lovely and peaceful it is. We're all hoping they've gone for a very, very long holiday.
Sorry to everyone stuck living near selfish gits this weekend. I hope they all go on a long holiday soon (and maybe never come back)

Ahh this thread is so therapeutic! My nightmare neighbours really stress me out. It's so peaceful when they're not in but then I stress about them getting back and being noisy. Sounds similar to @BuzzPeakWankBobbly experience - so much sympathy for everyone experiencing this! We're desperate for them to move out but worried about who might move in next.

The hot weather brings the degenerates out every year unfortunately.

I love this weather but I hate the way a lot of people behave. Maybe it does something to their brains? The mind boggles.

Fucking ruins it for everyone else though.

I live in a flat with neighbours both above and below. Unfortunately they are arseholes all the time, they don't save it for the bank holiday.

Downstairs like to have arguments when he gets back from I'm assuming, work, in the middle of the night and they shout so loud we can make out every word

Upstairs is a bassist in a band and they seem to have agreed between them that his flat is the best place to practice so we regularly get treated to their entire back catalogue-of five songs-from three in the afternoon until gone 10 o'clock.

I hate them but would like to thank you for this thread as complaining about them has made me feel marginally better.

I remember one night last summer holidays hearing a kiddies program sound coming from somewhere. I looked out my bedroom window and looked down into my neighbours conservatory to see one of their grandkids sat watching peppa pig on a smartphone whilst I could hear chatter and laughing from their kitchen from the adults. This was about 1.30am.. I had to shut my windows and it was boiling hot that night

Yesterday I was sitting outside enjoying the sun when the annoying neighbour on the right started playing Michael Jackson songs with the windows and doors wide open so the whole neighbourhood was treated to them too.

Later in the day, the people opposite had a barbecue with loud drunken screaming and singing. As I was taking the dog out for his evening walk, they has moved on to physical fighting in the front garden.

This is gonna sound weird but the man of our (otherwise lovely) neighbours is a really ostentatious performance parent, with one of those "carrying" voices. Their kids are 2 and 4 and all day you hear, at decibels loud enough to burst your eardrums - "Weeeeeee" "Come on Bobby, kick the ball buddy" "Hahahahahaha" "Wheeeeeey" "Oh Thomas look at that big fat bug" "ooooOooooOooooh" "WOW ". It's not now and again, it's constant, but it does actually make us laugh more than anything. I told his (lovely) wife not so long ago in a jokey way and she said oh FFS what's he like I'll tell him to shut up but I'm not sure he knows how

My chickens get positively raucous in the warm weather and foster donkey#2 has a particularly loud bray at the moment.
And if the fecking birds dont stop with the dawn chorus i will wring their necks ☠

My neighbours are just as bad as yours🤣

I believe these children are called Dipshit and Bastard from their mothers banshee wails.

TV outside though

Oh you are all a barrel of laughs!

Dipshit and bastard

They say every street has one problem family in it.

But that can't be right, all our neighbours seem fine.

I'm a huge stinking hypocrite as I have a 5yo DD but I cannot facking stand the wailing and screaming from kids in the street. Christ it goes through my brain and makes my teeth itch.

I hate summer

Neighbours behind me appear completely unable to communicate with their children at anything less than 100dB and the children appear to be constantly booted outside the house to play in the alley.

For some reason the ice cream van visits the alley every afternoon so I get a rousing rendition of Barney the sodding Dinosaur at 4.30 every afternoon - you could set your clocks by it.

Dipshit & Bastard. I love it.

My neighbour whose garden is parallel to ours don't speak to us after last summer when they complained that our BBQ was smoking out their garden seating area.

They didn't like when I pointed out the fact they had decided to put their seating area right by my fence and as far from their back door as possible and next to our patio and back door that if they didn't like it then perhaps they should move nearer their house then mine.

the ice cream van visits the alley every afternoon so I get a rousing rendition of Barney the sodding Dinosaur

I’ll see your Barney and raise you Boney M

Yes our ice cream van plays Daddy cool (cool ice cream, geddit?) at 120 db at 8pm at night

I thought I’d taken some mind altering substance the first night he came round

Nah, you don't have the cast of Shameless next door to you at the moment, OP, because they're currently being a bunch of noisy twunts just a couple of yards away from us in a campsite in Devon.
Music, drunken loud talking... no one in campsite authority enforcing noise curfew rules.
DH and DC are sleeping!! I need absolute silence, so may be MNing until they quieten down. Hopefully they'll feel the need to sleep sometime.

We’re so lucky our neighbours are old and only enter the garden to hang out/bring in washing seemingly every time I’m out doing my own. Dread to think who might move in one day though when they’re no longer around.

I’m so conscious of mine being annoying to anyone else that I probably end up being more annoying constantly telling them to keep the noise down a bit (silly giggling and screeching).

Every garden should have a 6 foot fence

How ignorant of people playing music loudly outside though. Music is such a personal think I can’t imagine subjecting my neighbours to mine.

Currently been kept up by next door the parents away and they are blasting the music, asked if they would turn it down, instead they got two sets one music outside with base and in the house. I agree there’s always one family in the and unfortunately we are stuck next to them.
