To tell you that if you/your husband/son whatever was cutting the grass at 6.30am this morning...,

[BuzzBuzzBuzzLightyear]

He is an arsehole.

As are you, for not preventing it from happening.

I can think of not one single acceptable, passable excuse for such arseholery.

6:30 is pretty early. We had someone recently complain on a local messaging board about the church bells that ring at 9:55AM on a Sunday.... To which the response was, the church was there a long time before you.

I think 9am onwards for noise on a Sunday is acceptable.

I thought I had cause to be all glarey yesterday when our ndn started his lawn at 8.30. 6.30 I'd burn his fucking house down.

Love the window thing but sadly the lawnmower is too loud and he's a bit deaf.

How could you tell it was a man mowing the lawn? Did it make a special manly noise?

We have a neighbour that always feels the need to hedge trim when we are entertaining in the garden knob

Perhaps he's trying to tell you something about your entertaining ? Just a thought.

Neither of mine-grass cutting not allowed on a Sunday.

Next door have visitors for the BH weekend.

Last night - 9.00pm - visitors' dog put out in garden yapping away!

This morning 07.30 am - said visitors' child practising the bloody recorder in their rear conservatory with the window open. Grr! said child couldn't hit a single note either which made it even worse

Was it one of those penis operated mowers?

Why the big deal about it being a Sunday? Would piss me off at 6.30 if it were any other day of the week too!
Is it a case of it's unacceptable on any day of the week at 6.30am or just because it's a Sunday?

Totally unacceptable. Had to be a man - women have far more sensible things to be doing at 6.30 am Anyway, the grass here was soaking wet when I got up this morning. Dew I think, rather than overnight rain.

No no it's unacceptable on any day of the week, but I'm usually up and about at half six during the week coz work. I'd still think what a tosser but it wouldn't waken me up.

Saturday/Sunday though, 6.30am is still the middle of the night as far as I'm concerned. I work hard all week. I don't need to be up at half six on those days.

Btw the reason I didn't put daughter in the subject line was purely a space issue. Of course it could have been a woman. Buuuut men are generally more likely to be thoughtless

I'm afraid I lost my rag with the little shit near me yesterday.

After about 5 non stop minutes of
"EMILY!"
"EMILY!"
"EMILY!"
"EMILY!"
"EMILY!"
"EMILY!"
"EMILY!"
"EMILY!"
"EMILY!"
"EMILY!"
"EMILY!"

I added

"SHUT UP!" to his list.

Which was milder than what i wanted to say.

We had a huge and continuous loud, LOUD noise between 1am- 2.30am the other night. Complete with scary flashing lights and the sounds of heavy running water.

Oh, it was a thunderstorm. To whom shall I complain?

I'd love my DH to be out mowing the lawn that early - it's now past noon and Ive been nagging him for ages to do it

I do it every week and he promised me I could have this weekend off. In fairness though we live in the middle of nowhere

I wasn't cutting the grass, but I was loudly getting stuff sorted outside at 7.00 this morning -my neighbours woke me up at 3am coming back smashed from the pub and then hollered, laughed and fucked about outside for a good few hours. Hope I didn't wake them up to a miserable hangover

To be honest, 6.30 on a summers morning is not that early for something like grass cutting. Drilling,hammering , pile driving etc you would have a point , but grass cutting is not that horrendous, and unless your neighbours have acres , it would not take too long. Get a cup of tea ,drink it in bed and plan your day.

The bloke over the road was mowing his front lawn with a petrol lawnmower at 7.30am yesterday morning. I thought that was pretty inconsiderate on a Saturday! I was up anyway, so wasn't worrying me too much, but loads of my neighbours had their bedroom windows open due to the heat and must've got a rude awakening.

I had a neighbor that used to hoover his back garden after mowing it. So it'd be 20 mins lawnmower, then 20 mins hoover, and then he'd carry his TV out into the garden and watch Coronation Street at full blast.
Every 3 days, all summer long.

I don't know how I didn't throttle him.

Thankfully it was a rented house so I GTFO

viques doesn't the fact that you're a lone voice on the thread tell you something??

I think viques was mowing the lawn at 6.30 this morning.

Fuzzy: your point about the thunderstorm is ...?

ShotsFired, God that's irritating. I definitely would've sworn

Two lads decided to stand outside my house and have a drunken chat at 4am! This sort of things annoying but it's going to happen if you live on an estate.

Playing a radio in the garden when you have neighbours is NEVER EVER EVER EVER ACCEPTABLE.

thank you.

To be honest, 6.30 on a summers morning is not that early for something like grass cutting.

Not according to government advice which states that between 11pm and 7am nuisance noise is classed as anything above 34dBA (average lawnmowers create noise at 90dB) ... so lawnmowers at 6:30am is too early.

It's also just basic courtesy and consideration for your neighbours on any day of the week. Want to do a bit of gardening at 6:30? If it's quiet planting or weeding, go right ahead and crack on ... if it requires the use of mowers/strimmers/things that make noise it can wait a couple of hours until people are less likely to be disturbed from sleep, especially on a Sunday.

I only got to bed at 1:30am this morning viques and regrettably not because I was out partying, but because I was at work until midnight and then needed to eat something/shower/wind down before I got to bed. Add to that it's hard to get to sleep at the moment with the heat and so all my windows were open last night ... if someone had started mowing the lawn at 6:30am this morning in my neighbourhood I would have been ready to murder them as this has been DD's week with her dad, today is my only day off and I relish the chance of a rare lie in.
