To call the police on these noisy bastards

77 replies

Noisybastards · 18/06/2018 21:34

Neighbours appear to have invited everyone they know round for the England game.

Everyone has spilled out into the garden, bonkers style tunes blaring full blast, annoying muts barking at the top of their lungs, drunken louts screaming over one another.

I have a one year old trying to sleep, a DH up at 4am should I just put anonymous call into the police?

It's a Monday night FFS no need to act like you're in Benidorm because you're team bet an easy team.

On a side note I love footy but hate English footy culture. Most other countries celebrate with grace not like they're off to club 18-30

Nobody will be interested until at least 11pm.

lineyturner · 18/06/2018 21:38

Police won't do anything

Too early and no crime being committed.

Sucks though.

nocoolnamesleft · 18/06/2018 21:39

The police are busy with actual real crime. Please don't waste police time.

TroubledLichen · 18/06/2018 21:40

God they sound like awful neighbours, poor you. The council would probably be the right place to complain to, however the noise curfew I think is 11am-7pm so I don’t know if they could do anything yet. I take it the neighbours wouldn't take it well if you pop rounded and asked them nicely to keep it down?

Cleanermaidcook · 18/06/2018 21:41

They have broken no law!

MollyPutTheKettle0n · 18/06/2018 21:41

Make sure your DH makes as much noise as he can when he leaves for work in the morning

bluemoonchances · 18/06/2018 21:42

FFS can they call the police when your kid is screaming at any time of the day or night? Get over yourself it's not even late.

theveryhighlife · 18/06/2018 21:47

I'd be a bit annoyed if I was on an early shift at work like your dh, however it's a waste of police time to call if it's before 11pm.
It's an annoyance- that's all. Let them enjoy themselves!

Clearly you agree (abd probably take part) with this chav like behaviour of being as loud as you fucking want with little regard or courtesy for others.

When an overly tired truck driver ploughs into your loved ones because the neighbours decide when he is allowed to go to bed we'll see what you have to say then.

It's not even 10 yet :-/

I don't like football either, but people celebrating a few matches every four years isn't the end of the world.

Noisybastards · 18/06/2018 21:53

bluemoonchances my DC has woken 4 times since the game ended due to high pitch shrieks and dogs barking. Somehow when I told DC to 'get over themselves' it made no difference?

Get over yourself, if you want to wail like a banshee fuck off to the pub you daft clown

Ffs calm down.

Tartsamazeballs · 18/06/2018 21:56

You posted that at 9.30?! Really?? Calm down! Maybe truck driver should invest in some earplugs if he's that noise sensitive? Most shift workers I know crash out at the drop of a hat. And likely you'll be more wound up about the noise than your one year old, mine is sleeping through my husband sanding the skirtings in the room next to her.

CommunistLegoBloc · 18/06/2018 21:57

...wow

I mean I felt sorry for you, even if the police isn’t the right reaction. But your attitude is appalling.

nocoolnamesleft · 18/06/2018 21:58

As it happens, no. I don't drink. I don't play music outside. I've never kept the neighbours awake. And I've been kept awake until past 4am when I had to be up at 8am for a 24 hour shift at the hospital.

On the other hand, I've waited several hours for the police to come after someone sledgehammered in the house next door. I've waited for the police to come to a RTC. I've worked with the police when children went missing, were found injured, were brought in dead. They are incredibly overstretched. Wasting police time on your neighbours being twats is selfish and irresponsible.

theveryhighlife · 18/06/2018 21:59

OP if he's really that tired there's a risk of killing people he needs to call in fatigued. If the noise is done by 11, that's still 5 hours sleep, which wouldn't result in fatigue.

pennylulu · 18/06/2018 22:01

England are playing. AND WON.

Don't be such a curmudgeon!

Join in the fun!

Crunchymum · 18/06/2018 22:01

bluemoonchances · 18/06/2018 22:01

Your question is in AIBU and I think you are being very unreasonable. Don't like the answers don't ask the question.

I work shifts (very long shifts in a high pressure job) and so I absolutely know what it's like having to sleep when other people are being noisy.

As I said . Get over yourself.

Nicknacky · 18/06/2018 22:01

Your h needs ear plugs. The police aren’t going to respond to this just because your h is a lorry driver.

CosmicCanary · 18/06/2018 22:01

Ear plugs are the answer.
Or maybe he should not be endagering other road users by getting behind the wheel if he is tired..

Christ my exdh has worked nights for 15 years he uses ear plugs and a blackout blind. He does not expect the world to stay quite just for him. He also does a very dangerous job and HE takes responsibility for completing his job safely.

delilahbucket · 18/06/2018 22:03

Awful predicament but the police are highly unlikely to do anything about noise. It's the council's job to deal with it, but they will only look at it if it is a regular occurrence.

aldaniti · 18/06/2018 22:03

Unfortunately we live in a world now where a good number of people think they're entitled to whatever they want despite annoyance or disturbance to others. I feel for you. But I think you're directing your anger in the wrong direction...

DinoSn0re · 18/06/2018 22:06

I had some sympathy for you until your attitude towards other posters became so vile. If it’s not a regular occurrence then it’s not reasonable to waste anyone’s time complaining about it. Go to the shops tomorrow and buy your husband some ear plugs.

HotNoodle · 18/06/2018 22:06

I get it's annoying. I often go to bed 5 or 6pm when I need to get up at 1.am for work. But that's shift work. Before 11pm I have to just suck up any noise that wakes me. Tbh it's not that late.
Even if England win every match to the final it will all be over in a few weeks.
