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..

Nope we moved house two years ago and back garden is totally private. They can’t see in. We can’t see them. Our cul de sac was lovely and quiet yesterday. It’s bliss. So glad we moved.

My dream is to win the lottery, buy the houses either side of me and then only rent them out to quiet older people. Our current neighbours both sides are actually fine at the moment but I live in fear of them moving and ending up with awful neighbours. We’ve lived next to dreadful neighbours before and it’s utterly miserable.

What we need is for someone to invent a version of that Liquid Ass spray that you can detonate outdoors, and will linger for a couple of hours. Just enough time for people to get bored and GO TO BED.

I used to live with just 2 neighbours and sheep.It was blissful and I loved the sound of birds at 5am in summer.
Post divorce I live in a small house on a small estate.Not too bad.I never hear the neighbours at the back.
Those on the left have 3 kids but they are quiet,barbeque a lot and if they put music on they ask first, don't put it on loud and turn it off and go inside at around 7pm.
The neighbour to the right play polish talk radio in summer but are only loud when family visit
All the children on the road play on our street as it is a dead end so fairly safe car wise.They get their bikes and water guns out and play out all day in summer without shouting or screaming.
So far here it is peaceful now someone further down the road has finished his 2day mowing,his lawn mower is not well and sounded like a reving motor bike.Lots of people seem to have gone away for Easter.

Our opposite neighbour was decorating until after midnight. That was fine, just painting afaik. Leaving the cul de sac at high speed with a loud exhaust, not so much. However: when they move in we are expecting the mother of all parking wars, as the spaces allocated to their house are currently occupied by the Twits.

Agree with the comment on bifold doors. Football loving neighbours have had them installed during an extension, they have a tv in the room adjacent to the doors, so when the doors are open the tv noise comes straight out in to the garden. If it’s sunny they watch football from the garden, looking in to the house, with the tv angled outside.

The bloke is the kind of guy who comments on practically every kick of the ball, giving his expert opinion and berating the referee. Drives me bonkers.

Oh no twolips that would drive me mad!

I like a good set of French doors myself
Why do you need the entire back of your house to be open? I think the arseholes got fed up last year due to the amount of flies heading in and the difficulty keeping the kitchen cool. I noticed they were ajar/ half open more often than being fully open.

Just to counter the thread, one place we live a couple of young lads(19/20?)moved in next door after their grandfather died.

One night they came home with lots of friends in tow and had BBQ, but were relatively quiet. only problem was, where they set the BBQ up in their garden meant the smoke rose straight up and in my sleeping toddlers window. I obviously closed the window. but the next day popped round and asked if it were possible to move the BBQ to a different location. Bless them they were mortified, and so apologetic and promised not to have anymore BBQs, I kept saying no really it's not a problem you having friends over and having a BBQ as you weren't disturbing us at all! just move the BBQ away from wall that goes straight up to DC bedroom.

They knocked on our door later with a little present for DC and to apologise again! I felt awful because they were such lovely lads and hadn't done anything wrong. Then one of their mothers came the next day to apologise too! they did eventually have friends over and BBQs again, but it took a lot from us saying please don't worry invite your friends over we really don't mind!

Well Friday night my neighbours grandkids went home around 8pm but that didn't stop the adults talking and shrieking until 2am. Just as I was starting to doze one of them would shriek followed by loud laughters.

The grandkids were back this morning at 8am to shout outside for a couple of hours then went. I think the mum, dad and adult son are going out this afternoon by the sounds of it (because they can't possibly get ready quietly.) So we've had two ours of "where's my fucking.." and "have you seen my fucking.." followed by loud footsteps over their decking.

I think they've also fallen out with one of the neighbours who live next door to them (and all are gardens adjoin) because last night about 10pm I heard a lot of f'ing etc, so I quietly looked out because I'm nosy like that and the neighbour who next door has fallen out with was on their doorstep. The man next door was saying "you ever fucking knock on my door again.. fuck off! Trying to come and shake my hand.. I ain't no fucking grass.." etc.

So I'm guessing this man has accused my neighbours of grassing him up for something?

My best were the ageing alcoholics who had a full blast row in the garden about how he had had to have an affair because she wouldn't give him anal sex. He was bloody scary and had tattoos all over his face and head - mainly names with dates and RIP underneath. I don't know if they were deceased family members - or people he had killed

They got evicted after he kicked a neighbor door in and was recalled to prison....

I have a powerful wireless speaker that I use for work.
YouTube has a great 8 hour video of lawnmowers....
There's also a 6 hour chainsaw soundtrack.
I was downloading them yesterday just in case our inconsiderate neighbours continued shouting...
yes to The bifold doors thing. It acts like a giant echo chamber funnelling the sound out into the garden

Our area is heaven compared to the pps (all of which sounds like where we used to live), but we've had various mowers going since quite early (the gardens aren't huge so why does it take so long?), various children shouting and the PITA kid next door doing loud single-note whistles over and over.

I had to laugh at people expecting pensioners to be quiet. IME they are anything but. The old people 2 doors down seem to have gone out, because every nice day they set up their radio at the bottom of the garden. It isn't loud loud, but I can hear it in my house, with all the windows shut. It plays music followed by 5-10 mins of talking, so you hear this endless droning.

The people over the back allow their small children to scream the entire time they are in the garden, and now some more people with small children have moved in 3 doors down in the other direction and they also like to scream. Plus mum and dad have to have loud conversations in the garden at the same time. I never allowed any of my DC to scream, so why everyone else's have to I've no idea. Have fun, play, laugh, but don't scream.

Had to laugh at "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." as that's what our immediate NDN does. I can't go out there without her coming out and watching me over the wall (since she hacked down all the nice tall bushes giving us privacy).

Ah now, another mower, over the sounds of our NDNs eating their dinner right by our back door...

The biggest thing that annoyed me in our garden was the neighbour next door building a bloody great big garage right in the corner of his property where we actually had a nice view into the next field. Now we have an enormous building almost at the bottom of our garden casting shade over my beds. I think they’ve got a room in the roof, it’s huge. Horrible ugly bloody thing.

TheGoddessFrigg : there's a strip in Viz magazine about just such a couple, "Scum Mothers, Who'd have 'Em?". Obviously drawn from life.

Far to cold to be out in the garden. Go back inside and light the fire

I must be the annoying one because all mine are reasonable.

My neighbours are mostly ok except for the ones directly out the back, who blast music and have screaming grandchildren to whom they fail to teach appropriate behaviour.

NDN used to be a problem early in the morning when they’d sit on their upstairs bedroom balcony right next to my bedroom and yap at 8am. But since I had DC I’m up earlier than they are!

I've come here to vent!

Neighbours have always been fine round here, until three months ago when the house at the end of my garden was sold. The gardens are TINY and they have a "man cave" office at the end of their garden, I.E. right next to my fence. There's 5 metres from their man cave to my patio doors. They have friends over constantly and leave the man cave doors open whilst they watch football/rugby/ blare music into the garden and everyone else's. They get hammered and seem to only know people who screech and scream. There's no escape from it and they carried on until 3am one freezing night in February so I am dreading summer. It's a beautiful day and I want to be in my garden with my kindle listening to the birds. Instead I'm in my bedroom at the front of the house which is as far from the noise as I can get.

Tempted to make DS play Fortnite and open all the windows, telling him not to worry about controlling the Fortnite rage today. But I'm not a cunt, so I won't.

Normally, yes but we are in Wales for the long weekend and our neighbours are sheep and a total delight. We don’t mind their noise

RomanMum can't you ask their Alexa to play Shaddupayourface or similar?

When you say nothing at all by that Irish twat, forget his name.

Mine went out this afternoon it was bloody bliss! Other neighbours were in their gardens chatting normally and quietly without any swearing/shouting so why can't horrible neighbours do that too!?

Never mind annoying neighbours,as soon as the sun comes out and it goes above 20 degrees, I have an annoying neighbourhood. I live above a parade of shops and every 5 minutes,someone pulls up in their wanker mobile car with shit music pounding so loud,it rattles my front door,2 stories up. If it's not that,it's kids screaming like they're being murdered,in the back gardens nearby,or smoke from 3 different barbecues wafting in my kitchen window. I love summer. NOT.

We've had two wonderful afternoons with no noise from next door. It's rare, but wonderful when it happens!

All three of our neighbours at the sides and back have kids. Two of them manage to make their kids behave decently. So I’m not sure why the third family apparently can’t stop their kids screaming?

The same family also has a habit of playing loud music. Little do they know I’ve been to Costco and purchased an entertainment system. A big fuck off speaker with disco lights on top. I’m just waiting for them to put their music on so I can blast them right back. The disco lights will look great flashing up into the sky. I’m thinking Sticky Sticky Stick Stick would be a good choice to play on repeat.
