To think that hot weather turns some people into idiots

I love the nice weather but with it seems to be people playing music really loudly (don’t mind music when at a reasonable level)
Parents screeching and swearing at their kids at top level (ok this is just the women a few doors down)
Last night we had people leaving the neighbours (after being in the garden all evening shouting at each other rather then talking) at midnight making as much noise as possible. The men are loudly laughing and the women are screeching goodbye at each other, including the women next door who has a laugh like a foghorn. The taxi that has been waiting for ten minutes is there with it’s engine ticking over. Then is slamming doors as they get in the taxi and more screeching goodbye.

You then get the adults walking past who are walking home pissed as a fart singing.

I do live in quite an ok area honest
Does anyone else get this

Do you think if we had a few more weeks of this hot weather, we'd all learn to compromise, or maybe just resort to all-out war with our neighbours?

Much as I love the idea of all-out war, I think you'd learn to compromise :-)

I live in a country where it's consistently sunny for the whole summer, and people just carry on as normal.

I could hear someone singing along to chesney Hawkes from a couple of gardens up last night!

I agree. I also think the hot weather turns some people into really shit drivers to some reason too.

I've been saying this for years. The minute the temperature goes above 25 degrees,a hell of a lot of people start behaving like wankers idiots. I think it's probably more a case of them being more noticeable as they're outside more,and people have their windows open in the warm weather. But I suspect that it's also a case of having to have somewhere to spend their energy. In the winter,they're too busy trying to keep warm to have the energy to spend on being lairy and obnoxious. When the hot weather starts.....bang! Off they go. I was downstairs on a bus today and all I could hear from the top deck was a group of twenty somethings screeching and laughing. They don't seem to do it when it's cold.

Ed Sheeran is blasting out there now... 'I'm in love with your bodyyyyyy'

Hmm

It's 29° here.

I was talking to former colleagues in the Night Noise Team on Friday and they were not looking forward to the warm long weekend as the callouts go through the roof. There IS legislation as to how noisy you can be at certain times of the day, and the police and council environmental officers can and will take action. I live in a council area that actually got court action to bar a home owner from their house after years of noise complaints.

We had that last night as well. Started off as an afternoon BBQ. Not quite as late as midnight when they left, more like tenish but just for good measure there was a screaming toddler - been kept up too late or something.

Next door is plucking his banjo badly along to something that sounds like Foster & Allen or one of the Irish folk type bands.

Undercoverbanana · 07/05/2018 17:56

Definite smell of weed going on here.

Ah we are the side of Lancashire who hate Burnley with a passion (well footy fans do) so them getting tonked would have out a lot of people in a good mood

Perhaps a scientific study should be carried out on the effect of certain temperatures on human behaviour 🤣

It's true though, minute the heat is on the brain capacity in general shrinks to the size of a pea.

Many people lack common decency and the ability to be considerate to others. But usually they are wankers in the privacy of their homes. The hot weather merely brings their normal wankerish behaviour outdoors to annoy others.

Yes the irritating bastards are now irritating hot bastards. They'll be irritating burnt to a crisp bastards tomorrow. Yanbu

I never took more ASB (Antisocial Behaviour) calls than during the summer in my last jobs. It brings out people's inner arseholes, they loose their rationale and have a "good time" at the expense of others. All peacekeeping and mediation goes out of the window because the heat makes people grumpy too. It's a real thing.

Winter people are miserable due to the weather too but are more likely to be tucked up inside moaning.

Haha im from burnley originally but living in Queensland, Australia now.
When it gets down to mid 20 degrees we think its cool!

WeWere0nABreak · 08/05/2018 04:23

You say "people", but I think you mean "brits"! Perhaps because we get so few really nice days (before half the population whinges that it's too hot).

You only have to go to any European- particularly Spanish - airport to spot the hundreds of painfully vermilion lobsters clacking around. They'll all be British. It's like as a nation we can't apply suncream...

WeWere0nABreak · 08/05/2018 04:25

... or stay in the shade if we don't like wearing it. I always have at least 2 bright red bands at the top of arms and thighs, however careful I am!
