To be not amused by this laughter?

[alaughingmatter]

It's incessant, disgusting, and grates. Every time I'm in the garden, all I can hear is this laugh. I wish I could describe it; well I could try. It's definitely male, begins with a loud intake of breath (resembling a honk - think low volume fog horn) then ascends to an unbearable countertenor, in an arpeggio-like-manner.
Someone is in their garden continually chuckling away, every time I open the back door. (And I'm honestly not exaggerating, it really is constant)
Tonight, the window is open as it's so humid, and I can't sleep because of the abrading arpeggios.
I have nothing against laughter, I normally find it a joy to listen to, especially a light "tee hee hee", but this is driving me insane!
So, there's the background info. AIBU, by hating this laugh, and dreading the next episode?
(Obviously I have nothing against the owner of this laugh, and I'm glad they're finding something very amusing, albeit, all of the time)

maybe you shoul start laughing too

I'd be nosing over the fence to see what's so bleedin funny

I'd say let them be happy and stop whinging I'm afraid.

I'd need to know what they are finding so funny. Stick your head out and shout "share the joke or shut the fuck up"

Go outside and do a very loud and exaggerated (if that's possible) impression of it every time he laughs, like a horrible mocking echo. Poor man will never dare laugh again.

YANBU.

Incessant laughter from my neighbour many years ago nearly gave me a nervous breakdown (seriously!). Can't say more or I'll out myself.

I too had an annoying laughing neighbour that really grated on me every time he honked! so can sympathise, but I kind of thought it could be worse! Not alot you can do about it expect ask him to stop which would BU!

Give my friend John my best regards will ya please OP? I'd recognise that laugh anywhere!

You have my sympathy. My next door neighbour (who is from Liverpool and..well I'm not) phones her daughter at 10pm every single night. If it's not raining she goes in to the garden and cackles like a witch constantly and talks very loudly. If it is raining we can hear her cackling through the wall!

Sorry but just reading the OP has got me in stitches!!!!!

It actually sounds like a stroke victim or dementia sufferer to me.

It's a Laughing Gnome.

Haha at thepeoplespriness Seriously??

Oh my neighbour does a sort of nervous cough about every thirty seconds. When we're in the garden it really annoys me. Heaven knows what he's got to be nervously coughing about in his own back garden. Maybe he can sense my venom

Don't think you can do anything about it, but I sympathise!

whenever I go into my garden, my neighbours dog barks at me. It can sense wherever I am standing, even on grass and it barks at me. However, after 10 minutes my neighbour calls it back, where it returns to the house for 5 minutes before it comes out and barks at me again. I can relate to what it feels like, mind you I am subjected to an aggressive dog. At least laughter is not aggressive. I recommend an ipod nano and radio 4.

thepeoplesprincess are you actually serious? Struggling to believe that you are.

Why are people asking princess if she's serious? I'm interested to have the background to her comment but personally I find incessant laughter a bit fucked up; a brain issue sounds logical by way of explanation...

Does he know you can hear him? I would keep coughing loudly, to let him know that there are other people around.

I sympathise. My neighbour has a very loud voice and talks very loudly on the phone in the garden too

ha ha. This reminds me of the very funny post where someone's au pair kept laughing at everything she said, even if she was telling off the kids or arguing with her dh. :o
I would be wondering the same as princess. It isn't normal to laugh all of the time is it.

Did you see the man on Russel Howard's good news that genuinely couldn't stop laughing? He'd been under general anesthetic and came round with constant giggles. It was hysterical but his wife didn't look to happy.

I have a laughing neighbour! Either that or she's crying. Seriously, both at high volume- it is so strange and unnatural.

Ugh my sympathies! One of my neighbours has a ridiculously loud voice that can be heard having a conversation through two sets of walls. She's one of those women with a high-pitched whine of a voice, and every other word is 'like'. Fine when teenagers talk like that, but she's mid thirties FFS .

And earplugs don't block out the sound when she's mid-coitus. Shudder.

It couldn't be a coughing fit could it? Maybe he has some sort of lung disease?

We've got a neighbour like that! Lovely, lovely woman but her laugh is absolutely ear splitting!
