To be FUMING

with the selfish twunts who decided to start a really bassy party at midnight tonight???

This is usually a very quiet neighbourhood, never hear my neighbours but tonight...OMFG.....if I could work out exactly who's making the racket there'd be hell to pay.

I don't know what's stopping me from going out there and going mental at them!

So it's a one off? Let it slide

MammaTJ · 07/01/2013 00:47

If it is a one off, just try to put up with it. I know it is thoughtless but if they are normally ok, then it is only the one night.

YANBU to be fuming, you would be daft to show them and start a fued.

Only one night when I, and the rest of the neighbours, have to be up for work tomorrow in the morning :(

YANBU.

I can hear my neighbours TV. :(

Lesbeadiva · 07/01/2013 00:51

Well yes, but it is one night. If it was every night, you would have room to complain.

MammaTJ · 07/01/2013 00:52

Ah well, I am at work so wouldn't be disturbed if my neighbours decided to have a party tonight. No doubt they will do plenty of door slamming and shouting tomorrow when I am in bed though. I won't be kicking off about it either.

HelenLynn · 07/01/2013 00:54

Not unreasonable. But in such circumstances what I do is imagine I'm sixteen again and expected to actually be at the awful party for a few hours yet, hurting my throat trying to talk to people above the sodding music, looking at my watch every quarter of an hour and anticipating with pleasure the walk home of several miles even though I'll be freezing because my friends nagged me into leaving my coat at home because it's nerdy to wear a coat. Then I remind myself that I'm not sixteen and don't have to go to the party and can instead go straight away to my nice warm bed several walls away from the speakers. That always makes me slightly less furious.

Midnight on a Sunday? I'd be fucking hammering on their door shouting that the rest of the neighbours had work the next day! It's completely unreasonable. Monday mornings are shit enough without having been kept awake for half the night.

Call the police and let them deal with it?

Called the police, they won't attend unless it spills outside and I've tried knocking; she's not answering and has turned the music up :(

Your council should have a noise nuisance number on their website.

MichelleRooJnr · 07/01/2013 01:25

Earplugs?
YANBU to be annoyed, but if it is a one off you ought to just accept that's part and parcel of living close to people.
Hope you get some sleep.

Donkeyswife · 07/01/2013 01:32

YANBU - btw. I would call the cops back and say it is spilling out onto the street. By the time the cops turn up, the party could have 'miraculously' have gone back inside.

But I would defo confront them in the morning. In our last flat, we had neighbours who were actually really nice girls, come home drunk and turn the music full to the limit up in their 2 bedrooms. Woke our ds up and he couldn't get back to sleep. I went round and told them to turn it down and hten I went back again in the morning and confronted them about it. They were very apologetic and sheepish.

NoMoreMarbles · 07/01/2013 01:36

My next door neighbour is like this but not once in a while...

Generally is is from when she finishes whatever shift she is on on a Wednesday through until Saturday with sometimes Saturday night and Sunday night thrown in but that's not every week.

The last big noisy party she had, her BIL (apparently that's who the knob end was) came and bashed on the front of the house (walls, door and window) for half an hour calling her and the guests all the c&nts under the sun as he hadn't been invited... DH went out at 11:30 and told him to feck off and the man spat at him...DH called the police and the man ran off...NDN didn't even acknowledge she had done anything wrong and played loud music until 5am! Soft bitch!

Put some ear plugs in and try and sleep...speak to the noise maker tomorrow :)

MrsKeithRichards · 07/01/2013 07:59

Is the party still going on?

Finished around 3am. I could cry I'm so tired and now I have to go to work.

Poor you. Can't understand all the 'let it go' comments. It's Sunday ffs and the night before work for pretty much everyone. I think that's about as antisocial as it needs to be. Hope you manage to get through the day ok.

ThreeWheelsGood · 07/01/2013 08:10

you poor thing. last time this happened to us we knocked on the door the next day and "innocently" asked if they knew where that music was coming from last night. no more loud music after that!

CaHoHoHootz · 07/01/2013 08:29

I would have been fuming. I would phone your councils Noise Abatement Team (or whatever they are called) so that you know what your options are next time.

You could try speaking to them and get the nieghbours to do the same. Obviously, this depends on what they are like Confused .

moodymai · 10/01/2013 19:06

If it starts to happen regularly keep a noise log. That's what we are doing as our neighbours are having parties nearly every week that are very noisy and go on until late at night/the early hours

moodymai · 10/01/2013 19:07

Complain to the council and they'll tell you what to do
