To be really cross with my neighbours....

[hypermum1]

Who are currently sat in their back garden in the hot tub with several of their house guests shouting at each other over the bubbles?!! My children are in bed asleep and j can hear them over our telly. It's not the first time. They do this several times a week. I just think it's totally inconsiderate! It's twenty to 10!!!!!

I would have a word. Now and then I would tolerate but numerous times a week I would not.

Cut the lid off the top of laundry powder and chuck it in the hot tub?

Arseholes. Hate selfish people.

Go outside and have a loud phone conversation about swinging.

Go outside and talk about how your swinging was interrupted by rats right there.

Sneak over when they are out, take dump in said hot tub. That should put a dampner on things for a while.

Lob in one of those bright blue toilet bleach things

Can you still buy stink bombs? If so I'd recommend stocking up.

Just make them aware that they're being very loud, nicely. They may be the oblivious of others sorts who genuinely won't have realised that is the case.

If they ignore you being nice then you shit in the hot tub

Just go and say something. Don't seethe, act!

Whatever you do, make sure it involves saying the words sex pond very loudly

Don't worry. They'll all be dead of Sex Rot by the end of the year. Dirty sex pool dwellers

Ohhhh! I like that stink bomb idea. I think that's a great way of emptying the garden.

Speak nicely the first time.

After that play a violin/drum kit badly at the bottom of the garden since your kids are awake anyway.

Imagine being out at twenty to ten and talking...

Yabu - people are allowed to enjoy themselves how they like in their garden.

We ve lived next to them for 5 years and they are a nice couple of lads but they have no kids and like a party. All the other houses in our row are families except them. They have frequent parties (every weekend) and at least one massive one in the summer which normally goes on until 8 am the next morning and for which we move out of our house as there is no way any of us would get any sleep. We ve had frequent conversations about noise but they don't get it. We've got 3 children including a toddler so sleep is a big deal in our house. We do try to be tolerant but it they also need to understand this is a family area and we all have to live together

That sounds like a nightmare. Have you thought about contacting the local authority as you have spoken to them about noise in the past. If the tub is a rental I would probably cut them a bit of slack btw

My ex-neighbour installed a hot tub and an external sound system - wired up the whole garden with speakers. Every sunny day was party day.
We moved.

its not a rental. They had one last year but it went after a few months and we thought great! But they've upgraded to a bigger one this year. Really don't want to fall out with them but it's not fair

Two words. Classical music.

Ok, one more. Loud.

I absolutely lost it with my mums next door neighbour that got a hot tub. I wouldn't recommend it but it was beautiful.

I'd call around tomorrow and explain to them how much it is annoying you. It's really stupid and selfish of them.

I know how you feel. My neighbours teenage son sits in his car on the drive with his friends.
They boom music out until late most nights.

Can you get some travel wash into the hot tub, without being noticed? One of my work colleagues went skiing, and though it would be a good idea to put his dirty laundry into his room's jacuzzi with some while he went to dinner. Apparently it took days for him to get rid of the foam. Failing that, how about some cheap washing up liquid? The water feature in our town centre had this done to it regularly.

How about moving your compost heap close to his hot tub and adding lots of lovely smelling rotting food. Aim for a stench plus flies.
