to ask the next door neighbour to stop vacuuming her garden whilst the dds fall asleep?

[MrsFogi]

Ffs I have seen it now from the house proud woman next door. Just as I turn off the lights in the dds' bedroom an infernal noise begins. What do I see when I open the curtains but the lady next door vacuuming her flagstones with her very trendy Dyson!

I knew she was mad when she removed all vegetation and trees in her garden/yard to create a minimalist zen garden containing only black cubes to perch on.

On the upside it has given me the opportunity to post on AIBU as I never have any reason to do so normally as I am never unreasonable .

Nothing wrong with having a zen garden. Wrong of you to ask her to stop vacuuming because your DDs are asleep. A bit strange to be vacuuming rocks.

I think it's wrong of her to be vacuuming outside when she knows you have little ones. It's not against the law or anything and she is clearly a bit anal, but a bit of consideration goes a long way.

:o @ vacuuming rocks.

YANBU!!

She sounds slightly bonkers.

I'm not really going to tell her to stop, I just had to share as it felt like a bit of a mn-moment when I looked out of the window. I'm secretly hoping she will still be going when DH gets home as he'll never believe me. Although I'm not sure if Mr Dyson designed the ball to do a whole garden?

I had a neighbour that did this, couldn't believe my eyes when I saw it!! Wonder if it's the same woman?

We used to have a next door neighbour who, during the autumn months, would knock the leaves off of her trees so she could Hoover them up off of her gravel front garden...every day. Waaaaaay too much time on her hands!

My ex used to do this.

Oh and if it's quite often YANBU

i heard on MN that people hoover decking

- hoovering the garden!

Black cubes of rock to sit on .... hahahahaha!

YANBU

No powered garden equipment after 8pm seems perfectly reasonable.

Not quite sure hovers count as garden equipment

Sorry - just black cubes.

... That's even funnier!!

OMG surely life is too short to hoover flagstones(as well as stuffing a mushroom!!) as i sit in my sunny garden drinking a pimms!!

Sounds like something my neighbours would do :o

My next door neighbour but one has just started using an angle grinder.

My neighbour washes his and everyone elses garden path after it rains, has a big bucket of soapy water. We keep expecting him to vacuum the lawn..

I need to know more about the Zen Cubes of Poo garden. Is there grass? Any plants at all?

My old neighbour used to Hoover the walls of her house! We all sat open mouthed when she was hanging out of the upstairs windows hoovering her brickwork!

There's nowt so queer as folk as my nan used to say!

you need a form of revenge, how about blow drying the morning dew off your bush at 6am?

Vacuuming outside?????

My next-door neighbour vacuums his balcony and the (industrial-stylee concrete) steps we share up to our front doors, and he often offers to hoover around mrs downstairs-flat's balcony because when she waters her pot plants, she splashes earth onto the ground and it gets 'messy'.

Nowt as queer as folk.

I must introduce him to black cubes, though. He painted the concrete paving and the brick walls of his balcony primrose yellow with what looks like ordinary gloss paint a few months back, and I imagine a nice black cube would class up the place no end.

I Hoover the patio outside my back door (it's covered) as I'm too lazy to brush it.

i bet theres a budda and a japanese maple somewhere too.

i want a t shirt with "vacuming rocks" on it.

totally mad woman, a note through the door about your dc's should do the trick

Some Westerners are truly bonkers.
