My newish neighbour is having a party. He's met us and knows we have three small children. He's also met the other neighbour in our group of houses, an older lady.

The two other houses here are empty - both families on holiday.

The music is crazy loud, the kids are already going nuts with the lack of sleep and older lady neighbour has just been round asking for our help getting the noise down. Not off, I get that it's 11:30 on a saturday, just down.

So DH goes round, already to be civilised, and gets told to 'fuck off.' The music is now louder. They're screaming.

The police won't be interested, we're rural. Revenge is on my mind and his bedroom overlooks my back garden. I'm sure I can fashion drums out of various bits of the kitchen and shed.

AIBU? They certainly are Angry

Paddling pool out. I found water pistols in the party bag stash.

Kids are having a lovely time Grin

As well as contacting the council about business rates kateberry could you join AirBandB yourself, just so you can start a listing that has the same specifications as his does and make sure you put on there that you're going to ring the drug squad as soon as you hear any noise? Just so hopefully anyone seeing his listing will also look at yours and be put off.

And if your NDN complains about the noise, calmly tell him that they're always like this when they've had a late night and been deprived of sleep Halo

You never appreciate how annoying Gangnam Style is until it's on repeat, maybe from YouTube so that they can pause it as they learn the dance moves. Just when you think it's finished, it starts again!

LONDON'S BURNING played badly on the recorder is the most annoying noise EVER.

Lweji · 20/08/2017 10:00

Also remember to ring their door to apologise for the noise. At regular intervals.

He's currently banging about in his garden, collecting empties. I can see him through the hedge. He looks rough.

He hasn't said good morning, funny that. Hmm

When the kids get tired, have you got any farmer friends who could lend you a petrol/diesel powered pressure washer as all your hard surfaces nearest noisy NDN need cleaning? And the ear defenders you really need as they are loud. Wink
Do they have a diesel vehicle that you need to park close to NDN and have the engine running.
Surely your garden needs a petrol chainsaw somewhere and a petrol strimmer, followed by a petrol mower

And let's not forget the Macarena, Electric Slide and the Chicken Dance. Good for hours of fun.

ZenNudist · 20/08/2017 10:05

Grin Blankface

Excellent idea.

Ktown · 20/08/2017 10:09

For the eff off I would be mowing my lawn right now.
I think anything up to around midnight - then I think music should be reduced a little.

LuLuuuuuuu · 20/08/2017 10:11

You need to find some heavy metal too OP

Selfish prattish neighbours do my nut in and no YANBU

PeppaPigTastesLikeBacon · 20/08/2017 10:12

Meh, I would keep going till the fucker goes out. I hate asshole neighbors. I have one. My child is not old enough yet to make noise on command 😡

PeppaPigTastesLikeBacon · 20/08/2017 10:14

However, let me know where you are as I can do an epically bad version of bohemian rhapsody on command Grin

blankface · 20/08/2017 10:17

Thank-you Ankleswingers Grin

Any biker friends who can have an engine-revving competition outside NDN's house? It doesn't take many Smile

SouthPole · 20/08/2017 10:19

Fighting fire with fire.

I love it.

Dina1234 · 20/08/2017 10:20

Do it but warn your elderly neighbor first...maybe she will join in.

GrabbyMcGrabby · 20/08/2017 10:21

Aqua - 'Barbie Girl'. Amazingly annoying.

RaspberryOverload · 20/08/2017 10:21

Rammstein, at volume...... Grin

Just remember to skip the track called Pussy, some of it's in English

PricklyBall · 20/08/2017 10:23

I've now got the whole family in on the act with suggestions.

DS (age 9) suggests as the most annoying song ever. Or failing that .

DDad (age 79) says if you have to go for queen of the night, you really want the version (this one has DS screaming in horror...)

ClopySow · 20/08/2017 10:25

Don't stop just because he's up. He'll be trying to snooze all day.

Lweji · 20/08/2017 10:26

You only needed to record the noise from last night and then play it back to them this morning.

If there's a next time.
