To want to throw water over next doors fireworks?

[Kerantli]

Title says it all really.

Seems to be brand new neighbours, as I don't recognise them are setting off fireworks at 4 in the afternoon with no warning what so ever. I have anxiety which was already sky high after a few loud noises during the night and now it's turned into the urge to just chuck water over their garden may or may not be free from cat pee/poo

Other option is a PA note through the letterbox kindly asking them to refrain from setting off fireworks on days where it isn't right to set of fireworks.

I'm fully expecting to be told YABU over this

YABU. I see the anxiety word bandied alot on mn. Not a fan of fireworks but not sure why they cause anxiety at 4pm.

I do feel sorry for pets that are affected by it.

Leelu6 I'm "triggered" (I honestly HATE that word, but can't think of another word) by loud noises (for example, fireworks, shouting, loud bangs). I was diagnosed with it by a doctor and I don't use it as an excuse often as I put things in place to minimise anything that may set me off which tends to leave me in a panic attack. Because I found out where the fireworks were coming from pretty quickly it didn't happen this time, and hasn't for the last year or so.

I also knew I was being unreasonable by the way, and I really don't expect the world to cater around me and my MH problems, because they're mine to control, not everyone else's problem. I'm highly strung today and it got to me in the wrong way, but I wouldn't actually put a note through the letter box saying "please don't set off fireworks" or anything along those lines.

Someone mentioned going out somewhere earlier in the post, I'm in the middle of the flooded areas, so going out would have been a bit of a daft thing to do right now.

Ach I'm sorry for your troubles OP - you do sound a good sort. x

leelu I have noticed this too. 'Anxiety' only mentioned on MN tho not so much in RL.

I could do through all my mental health problems if you want, but we'd be here for days

And I speak about mine in RL to friends, family, on facebook, tumblr, and various other social media sites as it helps me make sense of myself and why I reacted a certain way to a situation. I'm happy to speak about it to be perfectly honest

You must not set off fireworks between 11pm and 7am, except for:

##Bonfire Night, when the cut off is midnight
##New Year’s Eve, Diwali and Chinese New Year, when the cut off is 1am

So, YABU to complain to them at all really. However, it would have been nice for them to give their neighbours some warning.

YANBU to hate the damn things. I would rather than Joe Public couldn't get hold of them. I personally think it is pretty selfish to force other people/animals to hear these louds noises at random times. They can cause real distress :(

Appreciate that you said you are BU, OP, and also that loud noises are a trigger.

As I said, I find them annoying too.

Hope you have your earplugs handy for tomorrow

It's our anniversary tomorrow/NYD, so hopefully we'll be too busy to notice

Of course yabu. They can do what they like In their garden.
And sod the neighbours. I don't care a toss for their peace or comfort.

Yes because life is always that extreme sallying forth however I would say sod the neighbours if you felt they had the right to tell me I couldn't do something perfectly acceptable in my own garden just because they didn't like it. We used to have a neighbour who thought it was appropriate to voice her disapproval constantly about various things in our garden and it still annoys me to think about it. Selfish cow.

That post says a lot about you.
