Am I that dreaded noisy neighbour?

[Chuggachugga]

I’ll admit that the answer was definitely “yes” 5 years ago as we did weekly karaoke nights at the top of our voices till 4am. But it didn’t matter then because

Weezol I think what broke him was the last day, when we hooked up the stereo, turned the speakers (including the band 80 watt) to the wall and put Meatloaf Bat out of Hell on a continuous loop at full blast. Then went out for the day.

Of course its fine to make it impossible for people to sleep next door with no prior notice so they can expect to be not able to function the next day. Entirely reasonable behaviour........ MUUUSSSSTAAANG SALLY

"Spontaneous" just means "selfish" really in this context, doesn't it?

I suspect OP is also 'wacky' and a biy 'mad'.

But quite able to spell three letter words. Unlike me

Karaoke until 2am? Dear Lord.

Even if you were nice we’d hate you.

I put the karaoke machine on and start screeching for my neighbours when they've been particularly dickish. I have long lost any sense of good feelings or consideration towards them.

I won't take in their parcels. I won't pet-sit. I will never do any sort of favour for them again.

After a while people get pissed off and start hating inconsiderate neighbours. They may be young and ignorant at first but after being asked nicely several times - it escalates. It becomes obvious they just don't care about anyone else.

Shudders and throws hands up in prayer to any gods who may be listening that you don't live next door to me.

I'm guessing 'spontaneous' means 'can't be arsed to pre-warn the neighbours or invite them' never mind apologising.

Oh come on. Who thinks audible noise until 2am is acceptable?

I bet if the tables were turned OP, you’d be the first to complain.

Horrendously unreasonable. People like you make others' lives miserable. Doesn't matter if it's only once a year - what about other people trying to go about their lives and sleep? I doubt it's just your NDN that's affected unless you live in the middle of nowhere. We have various people on our road who have parties - very loud until the small hours. Not everybody gets to lie in the next morning. My poor NDN is a nurse and another is a long distance truck driver - don't fancy doing their jobs after zilch sleep. It should be possible to have a social life which doesn't have such an impact on others .

I would fucking hate you. You could be the nicest people on the street stupid karaoke bullshit aside and I’d still be plotting my revenge. It’s not normal behaviour.

When I first moved in my ndn knocked and said oh on x date we’re having a party. Tends to get out of control, but it is what it is and if you don’t like it, fuck off basically.
Right, I had their card marked. Two nights later, with no time to arrange for me to leave my house and appointments arranged for my v sick son, party day arrived.
They did about 5 car loads of booze and started testing the speakers.
Outside pops I and says could you nudge it down please, baby and I are sick, I can’t hear myself think and it’s only 9pm. They laughed. I didn’t.
They finally shut the music off when someone called the police about the brawl out front around 5. not I! Course not... my ds woke for the day as the police carted off the brawlers and I started mowing the lawn at 7. When they asked me to stop, I laughed. Started strimming and loudly chatting with neighbours over the fence on the other side of them. Not spoken to me since. Nor partied. Twats.

I’ve just thought of an excellent business idea.

For hire: One child with preference for loud rock music and early rising.

For a reasonable fee said child will carry out early music morning practice as close to your hungover and inconsiderate neighbours as legally possible.

Has own electric guitar, amp and extension cord.

I wonder how much we could charge?

You are totally inconsiderate neighbours.

That is shirty behaviour and you should be utterly ashamed.

When our neighbours had a birthday party in their garden that went on til c11.30pm (we live in a terrace) they brought round huge pieces of delicious leftover birthday cake the next day to apologise for the (fairly minimal) noise. You need to think big to make up for this one - and never ever do it again. I'd have been round knocking on your door at midnight and every hour after to that to ask you to shut up. By 2am I'd probably have reported you to the police or the council. YABVVVVU.

This behaviour is so selfish at any time but to not give people warning is utterly and totally unforgiveable.

And even with warning people with children, illnesses, early starts etc cannot just spontaneously rearrange their lives and illnesses to accommodate your good times. Are you going to pay for them to go to a hotel so they can get the sleep they need? Jeez.

I'm glad you are asking this now so you can change, but seriously, I hope you feel thoroughly ashamed of what you have put your neighbours through.

Yes completely out of order YABU

You would be my nightmare neighbour, but I wouldn't act funny with you, I'd just call your landlord if you were renting. o
Or non-emergency police line to file a noise complaint if not renting or maybe a mix of both as I have in the past on obnoxious, selfish neighbours.

I loathe amateur hour singing.

OP has spontaneously fucked off for some Wham on the Karaoke.

Its the spontaneity that makes it so stressful. Every time a louder than usual sound emanates from next door the spidey senses are on alert and the waiting begins . Is that the sound of laughter? Car doors?
Is tonight another night of no sleep? So much stress when there is no control over the noise level. I think one of the modern curses is the invention of the amplifier. The person who invents a way of silencing them would make a fortune I think.

OP?Hateful hateful people with no regard for anyone else.

It doesn't matter how frequently you do it. If someone needs to get up at 6am and couldn't get to sleep until 2am then how are they supposed to get through the day at work?

You shouldn't be blasting music and karaoke at any time of the day tbh never mind 2am.

You Are Being a Selfish Cunt.

If this is genuine then the OP is an utterly selfish cunt. I feel so sorry for your poor neighbours and anyone in your general vicinity. Ruining weekends and ruining sleep for other people is the act of an inconsiderate selfish moron. Hateful twats like you make the lives of everyone around you a misery.
