to want to smack the cow next-door for waking me and DS up?

[cupcakesandbunting]

Probably no-one awake to tell me that I am being U but

DH is out for the night and tbh I have trouble getting to sleep when he's not here (pathetic, I know) I finally doze off at about 1.30am...

then BAM! Taxi door shut, cue furious hammering on next-door's door. It's the estranged girlfriend from the "couple" next-door (they've been split up a couple of months and seemingly taking it in turn to live there), with a poor bloke in tow that she's blatantly picked up from the pub. She is screeching at her ex to get out so she can bring this bloke in, the poor bloke is hovering outside saying that maybe he should go, she is howling at him to stay. I can hear the ex telling her to calm down and go away, it's 2.30 in the morning etc etc. Eventually she screams him into submission and the poor chap leaves in trousers, no socks and his shirt not even on properly. She taunts him about fucking off to his mum and dads

The woman now has trapped bloke in the house and is clearly playing him a compilation of "sexy" music (i've heard her play it to another guy) Then her dad turns up in a car that sounds like a damn tractor, hammering on the door asking why she's kicked her ex out, leaving his loud engine running the whole time. DS wakes up at this point.

What a cunt. I hate being woken up. I got my clothes on ready to go and bollock her but she seems quiet now. Now I'm wide awake.

She is on my list

jeez next door neighbour isn't literally a cow and the op wasn't actually going to go round and smack her, she just wanted to.
If i'd have been woken up at that time my post might have not been as polite !!
Lighten up.

I would have felt exactly the same and good for you to play the music loud, are you sure that would have woken her up though?

If you arent brave enough to open a window and tell her to STFU, you're going to have to live with it.

Dont waste police time. They are there to catch criminals.

Obviously I mean there should be a specific bye law with a time attached.

Wow what a low class whore you live next door too

YANBU.

But take solace in the fact that these losers have horrible unhappy lives.

You have a LIST? I like that.

My gosh lizard, do you live near my old neighbour?! She used to belt out "total eclipse" (very badly) every time she was drunk and had a barney with her hubby!

I'd have called the police and reported a domestic disturbance.

I'm so fed up of how completely anti-social drunken behaviour is seen as acceptable here in that it goes totally unpunished/no consequences that we're living on the bones of arse to clear debt and save money so we can move back to the absolute middle of nowhere.

I cannot stand other people's fucking music blasting. There is never any reason for it.

I was a complete piss artist once, getting bladdered every single weekend.

Never once had a neighbour complaint because I knew damn well where I lived, in the US, it's 3 strikes and you are out - evicted if you're renting, big fines if you own.

And if you have a domestic, in many states, someone has to be arrested.

Here, it's seen as normal to get drunk and ruin peoples' lives with loud music every night.

"Never once had a neighbour complaint because I knew damn well where I lived, in the US, it's 3 strikes and you are out - evicted if you're renting, big fines if you own."

They really need to bring that law in over here. I think 95% of the population would support it. The other 5% are the tossers out there who are, in many cases, making their neighbours unwell.

A friend of mine just reporting her neighbour for dogs that barked till midnight. The owners were fined $100 straight off. They'll continue to get $100 fines if it happens again and the RSPCA is investigating them so they might have their animals removed.

Amazingly, the dogs are now not left out to bark.

I'm fed up to the back teeth of how people are allowed to ruin peoples' lives here with absolute NO consequence.

If you're on a council estate/Housing association, then put a complaint in..

If its happening on a regular basis, then keep a diary, Councils and HA's take anti-social behaviour quite seriously

Apols if this has been posted before!

Hopefully our HA took my complaints about the tweaker next door and his all-night raves at max bass seriously.

I wish he'd OD or something like the others.

Bloody hell Lizard! Thats the stuff of nightmares.

Who did you sell your house too?! Did they ask about the neighbours? (or were you in council accom and relocated?)

She could have been a private renter, too, ccp.

It hasn't happened to us, touch wood, but I've known people in privately rented accomm who had neighbours like this, but they were able to move as were on 6 month tenancies.

TBH, unless it were a detached house in the sticks, as renters ourselves, we don't sign more than 6 month contracts at first for this very reason.

YANBU - I would call the police next time, even if it is just logged with them. Unfortunately, they will probably not have anyone to send out (never do around here - not getting at them, just know how understaffed they are at night in this area) but your neighbourhood policing team will have the information passed on to them and should follow it up.

I really do sympathise cupcakesandbunting - we have gangs of teenagers from 9 years old to about 19 years old that trail around the village I live in causing damage and swearing/threatening behaviour, and generally just being loud and obnoxious (just heard from more than one person in the community that knives are now involved ) and it can start at about 7pm and last until 3/4am - we have taken to calling the police (non emergency number) as it's just miserable, constantly waiting for more disturbances!

The houses on our street are all bought, so don't know if I can complain to anyone as such...

Have been out all day but am considering knocking her door and asking if she plans on a repeat performance any time soon.

Sorry to all of you with dicks for neighbours :-( Tbh, the bloke doesn't make a peep when he's there, it's just her. Luckily he is there a lot more than she is.

Dickhead, inconsiderate, drunk, loser neighbours have been the bane of my existence in this country, tbh.

YABU, this is what window seats were invented for

Well I did rue buying roller blinds for our bedroom last night as they are far less easy to twitch than curtains.
