I despise my neighbour’s son

He is just horrible. He’s about 19 or so. They’ve gone away for a week at a time every summer we’ve lived here (5 years) and left him at home. He’s had parties for the entire week in the garden with his horrible friends. His taste in music is shocking. Just noise, dance stuff, no lyrics. Not even good dance music, the shite stuff.

I have a one year old and my DP was up with her a few months ago at 5 am and looked out the window. He was doing cocaine on the bonnet of his car with one of his gross friends. This was during lockdown as well so it’s not like he had anywhere to go after taking the coke other than his bedroom in mammy and daddy’s house. He’s currently out the back garden with loads of his friends playing his awful music.

He’s just a horrible little toe rag and I hate him. Sorry for the rant, had to get that off my chest. If any one has any ideas how I can get my own back on this creep I’d love to hear them.

Get the lawnmower out about an hour after it all
Gies quiet. I used to Hoover tight he t to the bedroom if our shot head, druggy neighbours after their all nighters. If I’m being kept awake until 6 am then you better believe they are getting no sleep.

Get a really loud ride on toy for your son to play with outside. Get outside before breakfast.

(Perhaps warn any nice neighbours)

We have one of these, lives in a room in his mummies house, struts about like he owns the avenue, clearly doing drugs pick up/drop off having several people in his garden all the time even during first lockdown, girls shrieking, male friends blocking everyone's drives with their vans, got himself a German Shepherd because he thinks it makes him look hard, poor thing is a sweetie and never walked. Owns a car that hasn't moved in about 6 months in everyones way but doesn't think to move it to let his mum park outside her own house. His most recent purchase is one of those stupid electric scooters, I keep seeing his head whizzing past as he goes to get some more drugs or whatever, such a twat.
Sorry that has been building up a while. I like the idea of early pressure washing

How about blasting some classical music at them? That has been proved to have ‘repellent’ qualities for certain species of human.

Grim.

What are the parents like? If they’re decent people, I’d be tempted to record him doing this and sending the footage to them.

Topseyt · 15/05/2021 23:19

Contact your local council and ask about getting a noise abatement order served on them. They won't have to be told who complained.

ShamrockHillz · 16/05/2021 07:25

I would definitely be getting the lawnmower or jet wash out first thing in the morning, but I’m petty like that! Or wait about 1/2 until all the noise stop, when he’s presumably gone to bed, and start then. If he’s on the coke, it’ll keep him up all hours.

Is he only like this for the week his parents are away? I really feel for you, it must be awful living next to that

I think his dad is the same as him, I have only spoke to him briefly and he was talking about the three day benders he used to go on. I’ve never spoken to the Mam, she barely leaves the house.

I’m not in the UK but I might look into talking to the council to see if they can do anything about the noise.

I'd definitely do the early morning loud housework/diy/music as long as it doesn't impact nice neighbours on the other side.

But if the week long parties are only occurring when his parents go away, is his behaviour tolerable the rest of the time? I wonder if his parents realise how bad it is. Have you ever told them? If they're good neighbours, it might be worth videoing him and showing them when they get back.

play an endless loop.of this. You won't hear it. Grin

tell them. They may not give a crap if
He takes Cocaine but they may be annoyed to know he is really loud and irritating the neighbours every day that they are away

I went down to the house and asked him to keep the noise down during one of his garden parties last summer and his friend answered the door. When I asked if I could speak to the guy who lives there, his friend said, “why what’s this about?” I lost the plot at that point and told him to get his friend to the door. When he came to the door I told him to keep it down and that if he didn’t i would tell his parents when they arrived back. His response was, “they know”.

I only realised his parents are actually there some of the time while he’s having the parties. When they are, he and his mates are far quieter and the music only stays on until 12 or so.

You know all those really loud annoying toys people buy for your DV, that you hide away because they cause you head pain? Gather them all. Full volume. In the garden. Bingo.

His “friend” (dealer I presume) calls to his house at least once a week and they sit across the road from our houses smoking weed together. The “friend” is often sitting on the pavement for a few minutes waiting for him to appear. While he sits there, he spits on the ground constantly and has his hand permanently down the front of his grey tracksuit bottoms. What a nice chap eh!

If he’s doing drugs I’d ring the police, especially when the music is super loud. Fuck em.

Send him a glitter surprise card

NakedBanana · 16/05/2021 09:25

Oooooo I can't hear it! What does it sound like? I'm in my 50s. Def not young ;)

NakedBanana · 16/05/2021 09:27

Ah sorry I lied!! I put the phone to my hear and could quite clearly hear the high pitched squeal.

IEat · 16/05/2021 09:42

If you leave your child when they’re an adult there’s a high probability that parties will happen (not saying the drugs) and they will annoy the neighbours
We all annoy the neighbours..

@amatsip

Send him a glitter surprise card
Make it a penis shaped confetti one
HumunaHey · 16/05/2021 10:01

If he's having loud parties at an unreasonable hour, can't you just call the police?
