To be annoyed rather than disturbed by neighbors?

[PrincessTeacake]

Little backstory: I've lived here, mostly alone, for about two years. Houses aare very small and the walls are thick but not that thick. I've seen next-door-neighbor once. She has a child. There is a guy there too but I've never seen him. Every now and then I hear them shouting at each other through my bedroom wall.

They're at it now. She's shouting at him to fuck off out of the house and he sounds like he's trying to reason with her. Their fights have devolved into physical violence before but I'm not sure who's doing the hitting. I'm just annoyed at the noise they make.

If you think there's violence going on call the police

Is this ypur second thrrad about your neighbours? Call police.

I already did, nothing of note happened and they know it was me. She's just as bad as he is, she may be worse.

If they're being a PITA sort of loud (possible violence aside) contact environmental health and report them. Really good advice about this here

If you hear them argue and you believe one could be hitting the other, phone the police. Nine times out of ten they'll seperate arguing couples even if no allegations are made so at least you'll have a peaceful evening. You can report anonoymously.

There are real crime victims out there who are not being properly attended to because the polices have most of their time wasted by people calling for irritations rather than crimes. It's not a crime to argue and it is a huge disservice to dv victims to place them in the same category as rowing couples, the problem here is the noise but that's going to happen when you live in a property attached to another.

It's annoying but if it's only every now and then, best ignore it and hope they're not replaced with persistent drummers or all night, every night partiers. Then you'll really be annoyed.

Mind your own business and find something else to do.

bobble, I worked as a DA officer for a number of years. When you're listening to a row through a wall you have no idea what's actually going on becuase you can't see it. People 'minding their business' can inadvertantly contribute to abuse being allowed to continue. I would never advise anyone to do so. My advice to the OP re: them being seperated wasn't only to allow her to have a peaceful evening, but also to give the police an opportunity to establish what's actually going on.
