AIBU

[chocolatebuttin22]

AIBU to ask my upstairs neighbours to not put the tumble dryer or washing machine on at 6.37am. The wallls/falls are paper thin can even hear them pluggiing things in kinda. would it be rude to poilety ask them not to be selfish and wake me up so early?

Wow - the amount of people saying well I am just leaving then so....staggered by the inconsideration for others!
My DP leaves for work between 3.30 and 4am -works early shift - so it would be ok for him to make lots of noise eg turn the washing machine on and disturb others because he was just leaving anyway?
(And BTW you shouldn't really leave a washing machine on when you aren't in - or run them over night - same for dishwashers and tumble dryers -all can be fire hazards)

MrsDeVere (I don't know how to make it bold) don't get me started on the man with the Harley who thinks it's appropriate to wheel his bike away from his house in front of my bloody window.....twat!

If she's going out to work, I can see why she'd need to put it on then, but, equally she probably hasn't really given any thought to if her pattern of living ties in with yours at all.
If it were me, I'd have a chat - over a cuppa or a coffee, and, in conversation you can ask if there are things you do that annoy her / make life difficult, and just mention that you don't need to get up until quite a bit later, and on the mornings she puts her machine on, it's really noisy. You could perhaps suggest sitting the machine on an old bit of carpet to cut down the noise, and she might say 'no problem, I'll do my washing in the evenings'.
Of course, she might also ask you to change things you do, so, as long as you would be prepared to consider that, then talk to her!

Oh we live on a farm. It isn't a working farm but we got chickens and stupid STUPID DH brought a cockerel home.

It drives me mad. He works early shifts so likes it and doesn't care I am constantly woken up by his stupid cock

If the OPs neighbour leaves before the wash finishes - isn't it going to be sat damp in the machine all day? What's the point in that?! Sometimes I do a wash before work but i hang it on the airer before I leave. She might as well do it when she gets home? Weird.

Really struggling with this - why do you need to put the washing machine on before you leave for work? Why not have it set up and just turn it on as soon as you get home? It only takes an hour to do a load...
I used to work FT with DD1 in real nappies and never had the washing running antisocial hours...

I'd chop it off.

I often don't get home until about 10pm. I don't want to do washing then and I expect most people would find that antisocial as well.

Neighbor may honestly not realise it's that loud for you. YANBU to tell them. But do expect to hear something you do is inconvenient for them. I expect, as they seem to get up so much earlier than you, that you are still up and doing something you dont realise is loud enough to annoy them after they have gone to bed. They might not think of it until a while AFTER your discussion.

I think 6:30 is early.

yes many people are up and moving round, but really not everyone. To me 7 is sort of normal and 7:30 better. I would try and be quiet in a terrace flat until after 7:30-8 on a weekday.

I realised my post looked a bit abrupt.

I think it is too early but earplugs was a suggestion to try if you didn't want the confrontation.

I think anything which disturbs neighbours between 11pm and 7am is to be avoided unless really necessary. So YANBU. Maybe they aren't used to living somewhere with such crap soundproofing though, so have no idea how loud it is for you.

Just have a chat with them and ask if there's any way round it, say you weren't sure if you were being cheeky.
6.30am is bloody early!!!
