Why can't people just enjoy their garden without being loud, obnoxious wankers?

[Liberation1]

I have awful neighbours all year round but something about being outside makes them even louder and more obnoxious. They talk loudly/shout/swear/have loud bbqs with lots of drinking which just makes them louder and they have kids running around screaming until late too because they are all bloody chavs.

I expect noise and people to enjoy their garden but why do some people think their "right" to enjoyment overrides everyone else's "right" to enjoy their garden also!

Earlier I gave up reading my book outside in the sunshine because all I could hear was next doors ever bearing voices and kids screaming. I have kids and I tell them constantly to keep their voices down/stop shouting because I want them to grow up with a sense of consideration for others.

It's warm tonight but I've had to shut my bedroom window because the neighbours are outside talking.

I've tried talking to them but they aren't that bothered.

Why do people think "Ooo sunshine! Let's go outside and be twats!"

I can't wait to move one day!

Liberation, several threads have started on the topic......

This does not help at all...but this is why I love being in Japan. Their culture is that you don’t disturb your neighbours full stop. Certainly the latest cut off time for any kind of noise is 10pm. It’s absolute bliss! People ask me if I got culture shock going there. No I didn’t. But I bloody got it when I came back!

THis sounds like my neighbourhood- and I live in the UK.
I live is a quiet estate and I hear nothing, the odd lawnmower in the afternoon, evenings I hear more owls than people.
It's bliss.

They have the potential to turn into CF’s and I mUgly get a good thread lol 😂

Our rear neighbour has been known to bellow at his tiny son (who was crying in the back garden) "You're a little poof! A softy! We're all going for ice cream but not you because poofs don't get ice cream!" I'm sure it went down well with the lovely gay couple who live two doors along

YANBU to think that hot weather brings people's twattish behaviour outdoors where others can hear it. It always puzzles me why people have no consideration for the people they live beside, as if they don't expect any retaliation. I'm respectful of my neighbours because I want them to be respectful of me?

I hate my neighbours.

I can fully understand people driven to murder.

They just don't give a shit.

It would be quiet here were it not for the neighbourhood neds - two cunty teenaged brothers who drink Buckie and play shitty Crazy Frog rave type "music" extremely loudly in their attic bedroom, window wide open so everyone else can enjoy it. They (or their gobshite mates; I care not which) have also lobbed objects at our house and into our garden in the past. They are utter fucking arseholes whom I would hesitate to piss on if they were on fire.

I am sorry to hear that OP. That is awful. Have you tried talking to them about it, or is that definitely not possible?

When I spoke to them they said they'll "try" but they are entitled to a social life and enjoy being social with their friends and family.

None of them bloody work either (I think the father does dodgy side deals) so they aren't worried about going to bed or getting up early etc and have been outside enjoying the sunshine in the afternoons and evenings. It's alright for bloody some isn't it!

This would be my worst nightmare. The house next door to me is up for sale at the moment and I live in fear of noisy neighbours moving in.

If they are regularly noisy at night (between 11pm and 7am) then you could try making a complaint to Environmental Health as it contravenes the Noise Act (see here www.environmentlaw.org.uk/rte.asp?id=70.) If it's in the day time it's harder to complain, unless the noise reaches above certain levels.

poor you.I too have loud neighbours. the woman plays music really loud every sunday morning while she does housework. with the window wide open of course.
The rest of the time they have their many grandchildren around screaming in the garden.

I've had to put up with feral neighbours like this and it's a nightmare. They don't work so they don't give a shit about shouting and swearing at each other and blasting music at 2am.

The unemployed drug dealers I used to live next to - in a bad area, used to be good neighbours. We never had any problems with them.

I've moved to a better area and I'm surrounded by obnoxious, loud, selfish wankers. I didn't expect this.

I was glad when one neighbour moved out as she was difficult. She has nothing on the wankers that moved in next.

This is why I'm grateful we don't live in a terraced house anymore: next door neighbours would be out on nice evenings with their dog barking its head off at every noise. The people a bit further up would be out smoking weed and drinking until the early hours. And someone would inevitably have music blaring. And this would be on weekdays as well. I used to have to sleep with the windows shut to drown out some of the noise.

It did mean, however, that DS got used to sleeping through noise from birth.

I live on a noisy street which is what attracted me to it. We have garden parties ALL THE TIME. Luckily my neighbours are game and tend to come along too.

YANBU We have lived here (bought our council house from ex tenants) for 10+ years. Never had a problem with the neighbours (all bought their council houses) until a family of twats moved into the only rented council accommodation in the street last year!

Every weekend we are all subjected to loud music, BBQ's (even in winter!), kids howling because they are most probably tired and need their beds, dogs barking, and foul language as they simply have to hold garden parties for their chavy best friends every fucking weekend!! This is no joke when hubby works 12 hour shifts.....Not that they give a monkeys! Most of the neighbours have tried to speak with them (including us)...Only to be confronted with a mouthful of verbals from them! The police are there every Sunday morning. Wish they would stick them all in the cells from Fri til Monday. Life would be a lot easier..

Op your situation sounds awful .... but some posters on here seem to be blaming it o the 1 fact that they are HA or council tenants !

I am actually a HA tenant, I work and keep my house very nice clean tidy and well presented .... as well as a nice garden which we enjoy with our 3 children in a very civilised manner and have respect for our neighbours.... my friend on the other hand has neighbours that own their house and are as op describes her neighbours.

Please dont tar everyone with the same brush !!!!! In infuriates me when I hear “ must be council or HA”

Anyway op ..... I hope either they move or you do ... not nice to have disrespectful neighbours 😘
