To ask my neighbour to not put her bin out at 11pm

[brexitstolemyfuture]

Because it's noisey as fuck and wakes me up. She gets home normal evening time so plenty of time to do it beforehand

Of course it is unreasonable to put the bins out at 11pm. Just as it is unreasonable to put them out at 6am.

Can I complain about the bin men who collect our bins at 5.30am every Friday? They wake the whole street

Yes, you should OkPedro. There are lots of restaurants and bars near me and there was a private contractor going round emptying bins at about 5am. A complaint to the council stopped that.

I put my bins out at 5.45am because that's when I leave for work. If they go out the night before then a gust of wind has them blown all over the street.

Quite often I'm picking neighbours upended bins and rubbish up at that time so the cars aren't swerving all over the road to avoid them.

I'm always putting my bins out late but I would put them out earlier if a neighbour said it woke them up. In fact I would be pleased my neighbour mentioned it to me. I wouldn't want to disturb my neighbours unecessarily. It's not exactly difficult to put them out earlier.

im going to put them out earlier from now on just in case OP is my neighbour

OllyBJolly unless you live in [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tornado_Alley Tornado
Alley]]l I'd think you were a cunt.

The bins are annoyingly loud...yanbu to be agitated but I don't know if you can really say anything to her. It's her right to take her bin out at 11.
I wouldn't mind someone asking me but unfortunately I think most people would consider you a high maintenance neighbor especially if you've complained about other stuff. I don't think I'd mention it even if I knew the neighbor very well. She probably has a reason she does it then....it only last for one minute or so, right? Not a good idea, I'm afraid, to complain.

You could consider asking her if YOU could take her bin out for her when you do yours. That way she doesn't need to worry about forgetting and you don't need to worry about the noise. Win-win!

11pm isn't late

My ndn does the same and helpfully moved our bins (on our land) across our pebbled path to make it easier for her. The numpty made so much noise she woke ds at 11:30 on Sunday night. Waiting for nicer weather to return favour by letting my kids out to bounce on the trampoline at 6 am when they wake. She also trims her hedge and cuts the lawn at 930.

Some really aggressive posts on this thread 11pm isn't late and I think YABVU. I'd think they were bonkers if my neighbour said that to me.

There is no reason to do it so late or make so much noise.

Just wheel the bastard upto the road quietly.

There is no need to clatter and bang about.

i think it's just one of those things you have to put up with

It's really not

All these 11pm isn't very late, it's all relative as to when you need to go work! And it's within the night hours where you are supposed to be quiet. She did it at 11:20 ish last night

Of course you should ask

She's entitled to say no, but if you are polite and explain the problem, I doubt she'll refuse. Unless she's some cussed contrarian.

I think you need to talk to her and offer to put it out with yours - say you go bed early (it's earlier than her even if not early) and you know it sounds stupid but it wakes you up. just offer to do it for her and then hopefully she'll be shamed into doing it earlier. I'm sure if she knew the impact on you she wouldn't do it.

Oh it's just AiBU. competitive not-giving-a-shitness

While you're about it, if you could have a word with the birds...they're holding dawn parties (4:30am) every day. It's fine for them, they go back to their nests for a nap at about 7. Some of us can't do that. It's so inconsiderate.

Who cares how long it takes for the bin to be dragged down the path? That doesn't matter. It's the "being woken up" that matters.
I sleep through most things, but if my partner is woken up once he's asleep, it takes him hours to doze off again.

Yabu would you stop your routine for someone else. Is doesnt really make THAT much noise putting out a bin does It? Do u think maybe it being a little bit over the top. How would you feel lets say u had a rotary line that creaked when rotating in the wind. And she asked you not to put your washing out on a sunday... would you stop because it bothered her or continue because lets face it its not exactly THAT irritating isit. And u su day is the sheet day. Fgs.

You cannot compare the noise of a Wheely bin to the noise of a jumbo jet!!!!

There is nothing wrong with putting your bins out at 11 at night but there is also NOTHING wrong with politely asking a neighbour if they minded putting them out earlier as long as it doesn't inconvenience them.

The point is, it is absolutely not necessary to make any noise wheeling a bin out to the road and it is not necessary to do it so late at night.

Any normal person when asked politely would do it quietly and earlier.

It's not something to be put up with. Once I have been woken up I cannot get back to sleep for at least an hour. I would not be putting up with it.

While you're about it, if you could have a word with the birds

If only I could do that. You wouldn't believe the noise the crows make in my garden at this time of year. They are seriously angry birds 🦅🦅😂

I think it's fine to ask but do you want to use up 'neighbour credit' on something so trivial? Even if you have a lovely NDN, there's a limit to the number of favours you can ask before she writes you off as a PITA and ignores you. Personally I'd save the credit for something else.

If someone is doing something that disturbs your day to day life, then you don't need 'credit' to approach them.
