To be fuming at this fucking kids party and throttle the lot of them?

[Sisterelephant]

Its 2.48am and there is some kind of teenage party happening on our road.

Fucking screaming, shouting, chasing, giggling and the loudest fucking dj speakers!!!! I can't see exactly where they are but it sounds like at least 20/30 teens. I can hear every fucking lyric and bass and have done since 8pm when I struggled to get my ds to sleep.

I'm 7 mo pregnant and can't sleep for anyway so this is just off the scale, I'm absolutely fuming!!!!!!!!

I'm very tempted to run downstairs and throttle the lot of Them and smash the sound system to pieces. AIBU?

Every now and again, there will be a night when you can't sleep because of noise. Sometimes that noise will be from people enjoying themselves, sometimes it will be because there's been a hideous accident, or there are emergency roadworks going on. The net result to you (disturbed sleep) is the same, but the cause is, basically, none of your business. Regular noisy parties are a different issue, but an occasional night won't kill you.

Suck it up, in other words.

solid

Ah, that brings back memories.

YABU. Sounds like a one off.

Ah to be a screeching teen again.....

Meh one night of crap sleep won't kill you. I've never understood why people get so annoyed with one off parties.

korma it was a one off. All done by about 3/4 am.

wherethefuck Lancashire. There is no power to seize equipment. Not without a warrant to seize. Envo health can but again with a warrant. We can seize evidence sec19 pace but not for a random one off party. If it keeps happening op speak to your neighbourhood cops for advice they will help you out.

I am stunned at the responses here - so so many people making such a big whiney fuss about a few kids making a noise after their exams!!!! The suggestion that she should call the police and accuse them of smoking weed to get the police out is just unbelievable (oh - and a criminal offence).

Really like SolidGoldBrass said suck it up for goodness sake!!

wherethefuck Same here we can and do seize equipment without warrants.

Usually the first visit will be a warning to keep the noise down. A repeat call will usually be to tell them any more and the party is over though I've known equipment to be taken at that stage.

Generally if there's a third call the party is brought to a swift conclusion and the equipment goes up to the office. No warrant required

Really, 'suck it up' at past 2am in a residential area? 'Suck it up' because some young people's parents have failed to teach them manners and respect for others? Whether it's a one off after party or not, by midnight at the very latest these young people are of an age when they should have the physical self restraint and mental capacity to turn down the music and enjoy themselves in a way that does not disturb the neighbourhood.

Come today when the bus driver neighbour on a 5am start ploughs into a crowd on the pavement after falling asleep at the wheel, or the neighbour childminder nods off and one of her charges runs out of the house into the road or an exhausted pregnant mum is short tempered and shouts at her child in the supermarket queue - what will your reaction be to those whose lives are affected as a consequence? 'Suck it up'?

Selfish, me first, my fun, my rights, I want and everyone else can go hang attitudes and behaviours.
Suck it up? The phrase itself speaks to a frame of mind, a lazy thinking, rude and disrespectful attitude. What hope is there for the next generation when their elders provide 'suck it up' as the excuse and validation of poor behaviour?

Disgusting.

Hope you're getting a bit of rest now OP.

I would have been pissed off to the max. It probably would have been doinked because the idea of a prom makes me irrationally cross.

Have the decency to go and get off your face in a field like we used to do!!

Doinked? Doubled!!

Different force areas, different approaches, but yes, we absolutely can and do (did, as I said, I am ex-job) seize without warrants.

No one should be classed as old, boring, bitter etc for wishing to have peace and quiet in their own house - particularly between the hours of 00:00 and 07:00! Anti social behaviour is unacceptable and should be dealt with. No one is saying that teens shouldn't be allowed to have a party to celebrate such an occasion, but it should be taken indoors and quietened down come a certain socially unacceptable time (usually 00:00ish).

Fwiw, I would absolutely never advocate lying to have police attend, however ime, that hasn't been a requirement anyway, because attendance would have been warranted in the circumstances experienced by the op. (And it seems her local force agreed)

I'm more concerned that some posters think that as they are "not much more than Kids" that that explains everything and is ok.

I live between two families where the children ' playing' is loud screaming and shouting and just unbearable noises. I'm not averse to a bit of child noise, as a TA, but this is inappropriate noise which goes unchecked. I always taught my kids to have respect for the people about them, and if they got noisy I told them to pipe down or come inside.

Sadly others don't have that attitude

Agree with Jam.
If they haven't learned that they live in a community at 16 then that's pathetic.
A little consideration for other people isn't too much to ask for.
Parties going on with music, shouting etc after midnight in a residential area is just bloody selfish. Why should everyone else have to suck it up because some brats want to make a huge amount of noise and disturb everyone else? Why do they have to be indulged while everyone else suffers?
Sound equipment can be seized in Scotland too.
If all else fails, go over and join them. And then find the fusebox

What mum said.

being a teen does not automatically give you the right to forget there are other people in the world and not everyone wants to listen to loud music screaming and shouting and arguing til 4am. It's extremely selfish.

Now there easily could he a whole street if exhausted drs, nurses, vets, bus drivers, delivery drivers, fire fighters. People who could be responsible for many people being hurt should they fall asleep driving or are exhausted and make the wrong call.

not a harmless party then is it

We're having an end of term round mine tonight. Because they've all seen the meat cleaver on previous occasions (being used for its proper purpose), they'll be quiet by midnight.

Fuck off with your 'suck it up attitude' that amount of noise at that time is not acceptable at all

Midnight, annoying, but you know now and again - its not the end of the world

6th form aged people are plenty old enough to be responsible and polite and thoughtful to others around them.
