I am sooooo judging, but our neighbours across the road often play really loud music. I don't like their music as it's rap with really bad language and heavy, thumping base (we live in a pretty suburban area), but that doesn't really matter. They often have loads of friends around and sit in front of their flat and drink and smoke and listen to music.
Anyway it's been playing for about three hours. I can hear it across the road, into my house, through my house, and in my garden CLEARLY. I can't actually hear my tv which is in my front room.
Stupidly I went there and was planning to ask politely if they could turn it down or turn the bass down or even just close their windows. They came repeatedly to the door, looked through their pigeon hole, but wouldn't answer. Finally I gave up; as I walked out someone was smoking on their balcony so I asked if she'd mind doing any of the above. She ignored me then shouted inside to her friend "some bitch is complaining about the fucking music". I said, sorry for being a total pain in the arse, I need to put my baby to sleep, I don't mind the music but could you either turn the bass down or just clothes the windows". Her friend then came out with a TINY newborn, I would say 2-3 weeks old if that, shouted at me, hurled abuse at me, then said "I can do what the fuck I want it's early"...
Then slammed the balcony door.
They have actually since turned the music off, but AIBU to judge a little? That poor baby is living in a house full of smoke and it's poor little eardrums! This music is seriously loud, as I said, I could hear it across the road, through my house, and in my backyard!! Also, was the abuse really necessary?! I wasn't being rude!
