Disproportionate anger at x factor party

[25kilopumpkin]

Have 4, 2, and 14 week old, so was going to complain politely to students just moved in next door about their x factor party noise on Sat. Door opened by thin, pretty 19yr old girl in HOTPANTS and Hawaian flower garland thing. I was far harsher than necessary as a result AIBU?

But I'm jolly grumpy when kids get "woked up" besides I'm after all the apples on their tree for a pie and will have to break into their garden I have full black outfit apart from baclava. er no that's a cake... Balaclava? Is it

Actually, I think the hotpants and garland would have reminded me what is was like to be young and child free and I would have been far less angry as a result.

Ask for the apples, make them a pie too and then I'm pretty confident they'll be more considerate of your children's sleeping needs! You'll be their "lovely mummy next door who looks after" them!

Don't worry I had a sudden feeling of rage (which I hid) when the lycra clad, swishy haired beauty who manhandled a ton of logs onto my drive, and whom I had assumed to be about 25 absolute tops apologised for being slow in the process because "normally I have my teenaged son to help me do this".

Ok will make them a pie? Won't I seem very granny ish if I do this, and more to point they may wonder where I got apples...

See if your baby monitor works next door.
Join them next Saturday, hotpants and all. Allow your inner garlander to roam free, free as a bird...

If you want their apples you'd better start trying to be nice, not extra grumpy because she's wearing hotpants.

YANBU. I apply an arbitrary anger classifciation directed at people who answer their own front door in various getups too. Emminently sensible IMO. Can't have people wearing unsuitable clothing in their own homes, that would be outrageous.

If you want their apples just ask nicely and promise to make them a pie? If they're students they're probably not that likely to want them for cooking themselves....

Some youngsters had a party a few doors away some time ago. They were new to the area but had the manners to put notes through neighbours doors to tell them what was going to happen. Perhaps you could take round something home baked and suggest that they use notes next time so you know what will happen.

Anyway, I feel sorry for those who live nearer to the Reading Rock Festival than I do because there are 3 nights of it - but we know it's going to happen.

Where on earth is the fun in "asking nicely" far better to raid their garden NINJA style and shout at them for waking the kids? Anyway, I am kidding we are lovely neighbours and they are just young. However, we do need them to think more about stupid noise levels (like cars beeping etc) unnecessarily waking up my 3 little kids, as well as not rubbing in their carefree existence...
