What would you stop your neighbours doing?

[PestoPasghetti]

You can only pick ONE!

No barking dogs
No cigarette smoking
No lawn mowing/strimming
No shrieking children
No BBQs/fire pits
No hot tubs/pools
No arguing
No DIY
No music playing
No ball games

It's a tough one for me, but I'm going to go for 'No barking dogs'!!

Fire pit/bonfire because no exaggeration a neighbour has a bonfire every night of the year including xmas day! Even when the storms calmed he was out there having a bonfire. Sick of it. They can be anything from 7am to 10pm
Id happily have a barking dog. Or whatever.

No shrieking children - I mean that very high-pitched screaming, not normal playing noise.

Having loud karaoke parties in their garden. Drives me nuts and makes me feel like a right Billy No Mates, to boot.

Whistling cheerily

Late night karaoke on their sound system

Firepits

Oh sorry you only said one pointless and irritating.

Cant believe no one said arguing

only thing I’d stop my neighbors doing

it makes me nervous and on edge

I don’t mind the sounds of folks having a good time but having to listen to people argue is torture to me

Coughing. I think they have nasal drip or something. They cough literally I'm not kidding every 20 seconds in the summer it's all I can hear in the garden. I lay in my bath I can hear it. I don't open the kids window as it grates on them too. In fact I'm not going to sit in the garden at all while they are in.

Foxes screaming, owls hooting, the noise from the road, the train hooting in the village, nails down a blackboard anything but that. They are lovely and never cough when I talk to them. It's like a Tic. I know they cant help it and I'd never say anything but fuck me just go and cough in the front rooms with your fucking window shut.

Better than smoking pot, loud parties or shouting but it never stops.

Mind you the previous loud shaggers also pissed me off. I dont like living near people 😂 shut the windows if your going to scream and shout while shagging.

No burning in the garden. Immediate neighbours on our road are amazing, but someone not that far away often burns in their garden and we have to close all the windows and doors and I do a mad dash to bring washing in from the line.

No music playing, because it's always somebody else's shit taste (Wham, Agadoo, Barry Manalow, Rap, Regae, Beyonce, Mariah etc..) and there's no wat to ignore it. Everything else i can cope with (just).

The ear piercing shriek of 5 kids running amok next door (not the delightful laughter of kids, this is like foxes in mating season). Followed by the mother booming at top volume, “‘Ere, Bella, pack it in!” Or “Fucking shut up you little shits”. Rounded out by the parents playing R&B through a wifi speaker that can only be matched in volume by a jet engine. I think it’s to drown the noise of the kids out.

This goes on, from dawn until dusk, until the kids are finally put to bed at 7:30pm. I say 7:30pm, they’re drumming their feet on the wall adjoining our bedroom until 11pm, with shouting & screaming from kids & parents alike.

This week has brought another discordant crescendo to their cacophony, the odious BEEP BEEP fucking BEEP every 2 seconds because their smoke alarm needs a new battery.

I may well be round there tomorrow to shove a PP9 up one of the adult’s arses.

And then the other neighbour with late night drinks in their sex pond.

From your list 'no dogs barking'

But from my actual neighbours:

'no cockerels that crow at 4am in the summer ' 😩

That sounds both frightening and nerve-jangling.

Hope you're doing as ok as circumstances allow?

Breathing

Not so much no barking dogs, more no attacking dogs. NDN's dog runs full pelt into the fence whilst snarling and growling and tries to bite chunks out of it every time my dog goes out for a wee, so no more of that would be lovely. She's added a second untrained, unsocialised, aggressive dog now, another large breed, who the first dog is teaching to behave exactly the same way, both are left out in the garden pretty much all the time so it's getting worse rather than better. There's a newborn baby now too, makes me shudder every time I hear them all out in the garden together, it's an accident waiting to happen.

Barking dogs. In stereo.

From the list:
No Music

Off menu:
Not parking in the middle of a two car space in our street with not enough parking.

Top 3 all of equal standing.
No music - Headphones were invented for a reason.
No weed smoking - If it gets indoors the smell lingers for ages.
No door slamming - Just so irritating

All drive me insane. Nothing else really bothers me.

My neighbour's dog has been barking in the garden for over 35 minutes now. Since 11pm. It's a little white one. Sometimes it barks for so long I think it's trying to tell everyone the owner has fallen. One day she might and no one will take any notice of the dog.

Barking dogs

Neighbours have a mad beagle and I've had ENOUGH

I'll choose but I do need to combine:

No smoking with no bbq/fire pits

after I had covid last year I keep smelling smoke, it can last for weeks where I'll smell a nonexistent smoke throughout the day/night then it'll stop only to return a few weeks later. It's so annoying.

Revving motorbike, Why can't he just get on the blasted thing and whizz off.

But no, Rev rev rev for ages.

Barking dogs, I live in a block of flats & several residents have dogs, one starts barking then they all start, it's like living in Battersea dogs home.

No music playing.

My neighbours are currently shrieking in their garden playing music. Which is why I’m awake as I can’t get to sleep from the noise.

Would it be ok to message them and ask them to turn it down, or would that be awful?
