People 6 doors down on the opposite side of the road had a BBQ this evening, well it's 20 to 1 and they're still going strong!

I probably wouldn't mind but one of the guests has a very annoying cackle laugh!

Come to think of it today has been full of noisy gobshites! Kids next door- if their mother isn't howling like a banshee, they're screaming or playing a game that involves screaming!

Time of the month? Oh I think so!

Now breathe

YANBU. YW possibly BU to soak them with a hose... (something I would love to do to the people that live on the back of us)

acheekyvimto · 07/07/2013 00:51

YANBU, one of the reasons I'm still up we live on a rat run between village pubs, every man and his dog until 1.30 pass by screaming their lungs out.

At times like these I try not to think of it as being forced to stay awake.

It is quality MN time without all the child related distractions in theory & everyone knows that chocolate eaten at 1am doesn't have any calories

Roll on winter where you only see people scurrying out of their cars into the house!

I sympathise with you cheeky :(

I have no time of month - but next door but one's kids piss me off so much. I really don't mind the sound of kids playing - that is fine. But their youngest (4) is a screamer - any tiny thing and she screams and cries and whines.

And all of them are so rude to their mother and then she ends up screeching. Ffs. 6 hours of it today.

The kids playing doesn't bother me, but the mother!
Jeez, I wish I could record her so you can all have a listen, it's actually hilarious. My kids burst out laughing when she starts. I just hope that one day she does carry out her threat of 'I'm gonna just clear off one day coz I've had enough of it'

Thanks I look forward to winter as well I don't hear as much.

Although some bugger damaged DH's car last Christmas eve, some drunk idiot smashed the wing mirror off.

MintyChops · 07/07/2013 04:52

My sympathy, hope they have buggered off by now. House backing onto us played the loudest ( and crappest) R&B music for hours this afternoon while we tried to enjoy a quiet family BBQ. Hateful bastards. Some people are so inconsiderate, makes me wish I lived on top of a hill in the middle of an isolated island.

HairyWorm · 07/07/2013 05:18

5am yesterday, group of people waiting for a taxi outside neighbour's house. Obvs end of a long night and no fucking volume control. Live on quite a narrow street of terraces which to me would be obvious that you're surrounded by people sleeping so STFU!

worse, our road is a cut through between pubs and a route out of town centre if you're walking home from the pub. Have witnessed an entertaining range of drunken fights, domestics and fuckwittery over our years here.

nellyjelly · 07/07/2013 06:05

The warm summer nights bring out the worst imo. Everyone round my way has bbqs and drunken revelry til all hours. I have to sleep with the windows shut and swelter.

Mouthfulofquiz · 07/07/2013 09:03

I had right teenage boys playing football outside my house in the street at 10pm.
I just got out of bed and opened the window and stood there. Staring.
After two minutes one of them noticed me and seemed really scared and they all ran off. Excellent, I didn't even have to go downstairs and politely ask them to 'fucking fuck off you twats, you're waking my baby up.' Result.

Mouthfulofquiz · 07/07/2013 09:04

Right = eight!

gordyslovesheep · 07/07/2013 09:07

I am now really paranoid that youTheCat is my neighbour

mumblechum1 · 07/07/2013 09:12

It's awful where we are too. One one side we have a fishwife mother with 3 really really screechy children who do nothing but argue and whine all day. On the other we have Doggy Woman who has 5 rescue dogs who bark if they're outside and now a f...ing cockerel!

I really wish we could just sit in our garden without ear plugs in once in a while!

LineRunner · 07/07/2013 09:23

I got up early - before 6am - today, and as I came downstairs I could hear Mr and Mrs Two Doors Up already sitting outside in their back garden shouting their heads of to one other.

Not even a row.

Just pointless bellowing.

gemdotcom · 07/07/2013 09:29

At 1:30am I got my earphones and listened to my audiobook fell asleep and now I've got to find where I remember to

Dh and dc's didn't hear a thing.

Well normal service is resumed. Fishwife is screaming 'to leave those bloody plant pots alowun', barking dog over the back is yapping away, chap down the road with a booming voice is washing his car and drive he has to shout his missus to pass him various bits and bobs it's a little to early for the xboxing teenager over the road!

Now I'm under no illusion we make our fair share of noise here, are people oblivious to their noise volumes? Or is it they just don't give a s**t?

dingit · 07/07/2013 09:29

Yanbu. My twunt of a neighbour had his iPod speakers blaring all day yesterday, which was probably to drown out about 8 screaming kids. We could just about have a conversation with our BBQ guests, and at times got sprayed by a hosepipe/ water guns from over the fence.
If he starts again today ( which I think he is, as he loudly talked about it), I think my hose will accidentally soak the iPod speakers!

LineRunner · 07/07/2013 09:31

gem, I think they have no concept that their noise is (a) loud, and (b) annoying to other people.

They probably lack empathy in general.

GoofyIsACow · 07/07/2013 09:31

was convinced gemdotcom was my neighbour until she mentioned the pot plants and i realised I have none... Phew!

LastTangoInDevonshire · 07/07/2013 10:17

I've got 4 adults in the garden next door (tiny terrace) who can only ALL talk baby speak to the 9month old and each other. And their daughter who is one of those "I said to him did you and he said that he didn't really so I said well I think you should have done and then he said........."...... you get my drift.

She absolutely talks for England, that girl - the longest was nearly 8, yes 8, hours of it. I hate them all.

FeckOffCup · 07/07/2013 10:26

YANBU, my neighbour is a fishwife too and they had a drinking session that lasted until the small hours in their back garden last night, thankfully no music but as time went on the drunken shouting just got louder. Her DH has an annoying loud laugh too. They are the only ones on the street that behave like that and the neighbours on the other side of them are an elderly couple, they obviously just don't give a shit about disturbing anyone else's sleep.

AlexReidsLonelyBraincell · 07/07/2013 10:33

We have named our neighbour 'TrapJaw' in honour of her massive gob. Her voice is so shrill and LOUD, she does the loudest most affected, horrendous girly giggles. (And she is anything but 'girly'). I particularly enjoy it at 11pm at night when she is giggling on the phone in the room next to ours.

They had a barbecue last night, their family visitors (who are just as fucking annoying), as per usual, took up half the parking on the road leaving half a car width spaces between each vehicle. They then shrieked and bellowed for hours. Trying to distract the poor over tired crying children...just take them home. Fuckwits.

...I hope they weren't too hungover this morning when we started trimming the hedge and mowing the lawn at 9am sharp.
Yes, I'm a bitch, but they have started gardening at 8am in the past so feckit.

On face value we get on alright with them. They are just so unthinking, it's maddening.

YouTheCat · 07/07/2013 10:39

Wonders if Gordy is her neighbour

All is quiet so far.

vix206 · 07/07/2013 10:48

We are surrounded by shouty, inconsiderate neighbours too. I often wonder if its because they all have double glazing (we don't because we love our sash windows) and they don't realise how loud they are being. But honestly I think it is just pure selfishness.

ChickensHaveNoEyebrows · 07/07/2013 10:54

Someone over the back from me was playing opera at full volume yesterday evening. After about an hour, a screeching voice was heard to yell 'If you don't turn that fucking racket off I'll shove that CD up your arse!' It was particularly brilliant because both the opera player and the screecher are terribly, terribly middle class and took care to enunciate their insults back and forth over the fence. Awesome
