To think 'well, no one's complained' is not an excuse

Just following on from another thread about loud music being played in gardens, does anyone else get annoyed when someone tries to excuse inconsiderate behaviour by saying 'well, no one's complained'. Basically saying 'we'll do what we like and it's up to others to become 'the complainer' if they want us to stop'.

A lot of people hate confrontation and will put up with a lot of loud music, barking dogs etc rather than call around to complain and risk being told to get lost or being labelled a 'victor meldrew' or whatever.

If you know, in your heart and soul, that you're probably annoying the neighbours, then STOP. Don't put the onus on them to confront you and feel like the awkward one.
