To ask them to be quiet?

[Celestria]

Moved to a new house last week. Last week was woken at 11pm by neighbours in their garden talking loudly and swinging on their creaky garden swing. Went on for two hours.

Start of this week same thing.

Last night my partner and I were both woken just past mind night by the same thing.

Wibu to ask them to keep the noise down at that time of night? We are both shattered today as once woken we both struggle to get back to sleep.

I take it you're not in the UK / have very outdoorsy neighbours if you are. If you're in a warmer country later nights are quite normal.
Maybe ask if they want to borrow some oil?

Plus if it is a regular thing you'll probably start to block it out.

Why should she have to put up with it, they are causing an anti-social nuisance - anything after 11pm and I would be pretty pissed off to, especially on a week night. I would have a chat with them, it could be that they aren't aware of how far their voices travel or that the swing squeaks.

I don't think your BU

YANBU. That would really annoy me as well.

Didn't you stick your head out the window and ask them to be quiet?

I am in Scotland.

Well first I tried shutting my bedroom window. Which made barely any difference because it's not double glazing.

I didn't say anything yet. I have no idea what they are like, I have only said hello and they don't speak great English.

I think it's best to ask when they're doing it if their English isn't great rather than risking them not really understanding.

Be pleasant about it at first - they probably just haven't thought. Most people would be perfectly reasonable and quieten down. Maybe suggest some WD40 for the swing

Scotland! Are you having particularly balmy weather?

Or are they barmy?

YANBU - that would drive me mad.

And yes, it's quite nice up here atm

A swing. At night. in SCOTLAND?

Scotland UK?

If they are swinging at night in Scotland then I'd be doing a bit of watering the garden at night, pissed, and not too careful with the old aim if you get my drift.

Give them some WD40 for the creaky swing.
You can't really stop people from talking in their garden though...unless they are shouting or playing music or something.

"A swing. At night. in SCOTLAND?

Scotland UK? "

In October? You do mean the Scotland that is to the north of England? The Scotland that is not known for it's tropical climate?

Anyhow - if they don't speak English you need to find out how to say 'shut the fuck up with your swinging' in their language and shout it out of the window next time they do it.

They are probably swinging in their ski suits with thermals underneath, aka as 'outdoor wear' up here in the months of September - May

I think they are polish. Is it quite cold in Poland? It has been pretty warm for a couple of days though. It wouldn't be so bad if I knew what they were saying, could be something juicy. Or, our new neighbour is a dickhead

My partner is a seriously light sleeper though. And grumpy when awoken.

Lol - noisy swingers

I'd have a polite word OP. No need to get nasty. Just say - sorry, but can you keep your voices down when you're out here at night please? and hand over a bottle of WD40

Ah Polish, that explains it ... we have Polish neighbours (we're in Yorkshire) they walk round in shorts well into December and think we're wussy for wearing coats. They don't have a swing, but they do have a trampoline, I've never seen them using it at night though.
