I live in a terraced, we've had so many people move in and out of the house next door, 9/10 have been a nightmare. We've had abusive shouty threatening ones, students who sang the same karaoke song on repeat every Friday, fights, Police, the whole lot.
When the latest lot moved in in August, seeing a family made me hopeful we would have seen our last annoying tenants.
The wife and two daughters are very polite, friendly, always say hello over fence. The younger daughter especially was very politely inquisitive of my gardening and is a real sweetheart.
The dad is a different story, you barely get a grunt out of him. He locked himself out one afternoon and sent the older daughter to ask for help, we obliged by allowing him access over our garden fence. Didn't even get a thank you.
For the last 6 weeks, from 9.30pm until near on 2am, he has been on hours and hours long, incredibly loud, phone calls. Not multiple a night, one long, continuous, loud, call.
Now, clearly some people have time zones to accommodate and that's fine. You can take or make calls at whatever time you like.
What really pisses me off is he conducts these oh so important calls in the top front room of his house. Which is directly next to my bedroom.
It's literally like trying to sleep whilst something talks incessantly in your ear. I can even hear him whilst I wear in ear headphones, with a video playing. Last night he finally stopped at 2.45am. I was up at 6am.
I've tried moving my bed (which pissed me off further as I like it where it was, it makes it a nuisance opening the wardrobe doors and the wardrobes are built in so can't be moved). I've tried ear plugs which aren't practical due to DS having night time related health issues. I've tried all sorts. But no, he is that sodding loud.
If it was once in a while I wouldn't mind but it's every single night now.
I really don't want to fallout with them, the wife as I say is lovely but he's an ignorant git.
DD tried to convince me to bang on the wall but I think that would cause aggravation.
If you were me, would a polite, measured note be a good idea? Theres no point asking their landlord to step in as we tried before when his previous tenants were being vile and smashing his house up and he didn't care.
Sort of like "hi, not sure you know but the walls are super thin and my bedroom is next to perhaps the room you've chosen as an office, could you please be mindful of the time and perhaps make calls elsewhere during night hours?" Does that come across rude?
I need my sleep!!! I'm living on coffee right now and it's really getting me down.
