to play my music in my back garden?

[HighwayDragon]

It's warm here, I'm sat outside basking in the sun, listening to 90s classics. I've just heard my neighbour complain loudly about the "bloody noise" to her dh. It's not loud at all. So aibu to ignore them and carry on listening to Shania twain, backstreet boys, bwitched etcetc?

I think anyone playing Shania bloody Twain loudly should have the police called on them immediately

Nothing wrong with a slow dance.

YABtotallyU in your view of 90s classics. All of your tunes are pish. If you want classics, you should be playing Nirvana, Babes in Toyland, The Pixies, Jesus and Mary Chain, Primal Scream, Fatima Mansions and loads of others I can't be arsed to list here. Fucking bwitched? If you lived next door to me you'd get a bucket of water over your frigging tablet.

I think every now and then is ok, but if it's every time the sun's out, that's selfish. I think hearing music drifting across is very summery

Playing loud* music in your garden is just selfish.
What gives you the right to stop other people using their garden without listening to music?

• I am aware that the op's music was not loud

Yes, you awful music-er!

You should be extremely unpleased with yourself.

Now go stand in the shady end of the garden.

Not sure why you are so pleased with yourself

Where has OP appeared like that ^, she turned it off although she shouldn't have.

It doesn't matter what your taste in music is, if next door can hear it in their garden, it's too loud.

I'd ask you to use your headphones, then we could both have what we'd like, I'd have my peace and quiet and you'd have your music. Win-win.

She should have done - she was playing Bwitched and Shania Twain.

. Fucking bwitched? If you lived next door to me you'd get a bucket of water over your frigging tablet.

Really, You'd do that?

My next door right ours don't make a sound but he likes to wear speedos in his back garden

I'm currently sending thought messages to the chap who lives down the road in the hope that he will take this up as a hobby. He's lovely

Bucket of water now that's given me an idea

Because it's up to people not to impose themselves on others in this way - not for the imposees to take action to defend against the noise. Especially when that noise is shit music

So Derek, people being annoyed by noise should wear ear plugs?
If a neighbour set up a security light that shone into your house brightly all day and night then you should just wear sunglasses?

But what about my speedo neighbour? He is imposing his speedos and Houdini bollock on me.

But you can chose not to look at him. You can't chose not to hear loud music.

So talking and mowing and kids and a bunch of other stuff is fine but music is SO NOT FINE.

What's the difference?

You don't have to mow. Cover your garden in concrete so I don't have to hear you mowing. Or just let it all grow until it hangs in the breeze like Derek's neighbours bollock.

Go inside if you want to talk, or pass notes or text or something.

Kids, I dunno just send them away to somewhere for the summer months. Or actually just keep em in. Get a new telly.

Silence. 100% silence.

Wear a blindfold then Derek - or don't look down.

Nan-nan-nan-a-heyyy, nan-nan-nan-a-hooo, nan-nan-nan-a-heyy!

Hup, hup, hup, hup!

YABU.

And Shania Twain sucks royal dick.
