Can't relax in my own home after a long week.

[user1467718508]

Lighthearted alert

Whenever it's over 15 degrees, my neighbour over the back gets out his PA system and blasts music so loud that it bounces off the surrounding houses and drowns out my own TV/music. I have to just sit and try to read or whatever whilst listening to his (shit) music.

He doesn't even have people over!

It's fudging HOT, and I can't even have the windows open.

Side note: He's also been learning (in his garden) to play ceremonial drums for TWO YEARS.

I don't understand how someone can be so selfish

Does anyone have any excellent relaxation techniques, aside from the obvious gin?

I wonder if you live near me? I hate the selfish arseholes that live at the back of us.
They have ruined several summers and I now hate my house and want to move. We've lodged a formal complaint with the council.

Can you ask him to turn it down?
If that doesn't work, make a noise complaint to the council

Neighbour A has just wigged out at neighbour B for exactly the same thing. He's apologised and promised to keep it down after 10pm.

I'm sending her over to your place.

@LokiBear That's so shit, I feel for you.
This neighbour has actually made me nervous of the next place - are there gits like this everywhere?!

@onceisawabee Before now, I've always stuck it out and grumbled to myself. Tonight, I'm actually v.tempted to go around there (although I don't actually think he'd hear me knocking on the door 🤔).

@UpstartCrow she sounds great! Does she do call outs? I'll pay her double time

I've just come inside and shut all the windows because of NDNs kids screeching and screaming at the tops of their voices. No objection to hearing kids play at all but FFS the SCREECHING!! . I'd like to sit out there and have a glass of wine and read my book after work of an evening but it's fucking impossible. Some people are just inconsiderate twats.

Complain to environmental health dept at your council. They will give you noise sheets to fill in. But of course this will not make you popular with your neighbour!
