To be really annoyed with my neighbour

[myusernameisnotmyusername]

I was woken up on my first lie in in two weeks, at 7.55 this morning with drilling (horrible grinding metal noise) coming from next door's garden. It's now 9.15 and they have the radio on full blast and the hammering has started! I understand Saturday is a day to get work done but I work full time and have a five year old dd so rarely get a lie in. This woman has her radio on loud most weekends and was building a bar once at 7.30 am on a Saturday. I get on with her ok so don't want to go round and complain at her in case it rocks the boat but aibu to think she has no consideration for others?!

I agree, no noise before 9am on a weekend always used to be the unwritten rule.

YABU. Doing DIY before it gets too hot is a good idea on their behalf. Go to bed early tonight if you’re tired.

Are you being serious Claudia?

I'm fed up with the constant noise coming from her garden. Sometimes you can't even have music on because you can hear hers over it. What's wrong with a bit of peace and quiet?

Generally I would say 9am weekends but with the weather as it is I can see why people may start earlier (getting quieter jobs done first would be better though)

8am is fine id have thought

Absolutely. This topic pops up on MN constantly and really annoys me. 7:55 is a perfectly normal time to expect people to be awake or able to deal with a bit of noise.

If you only wanted people to agree with you then why did you bother to post?

Yeah noise before 9am is inconsiderate. Just one of those things though unfortunately-I'd love to live in the middle of nowhere...

I didn't I wanted to know if I was being a grouch and appreciate what you are saying. It's just reading it you sound like it's completely normal when it must be slightly annoying even to the most laid back person!

It'd piss me off! Yanbu!

YANBU!
I have 3 children, 2 under 5. It us so hot during the day At the moment I don't allow them out in garden. I like to let them play in garden early morning and evening.
I wIt until NDN have their washing out. I know they always do a wash as soon as they get up, if no washing out by 9.30 they ho out anyway.
They are a retired couple. I would hate for my children to wake them up.
7.30 is a ridiculous time. We are always awake at that time, but even then I's find it annoying x

And actually 7.55 on a Saturday morning is not a normal time to expect people to be awake. 9am probably is and that's pushing it.

claudia a lot of people struggle to sleep in the heat so will be sleeping in later as well as having their windows open.

Not that it should matter, starting any kind of noisy activity that early when you have close neighbours is antisocial and inconsiderate.

YANBU!!
We have a neighbour who lets their toddler DD drag metal cat food bowls around on their tiled patio at 6am when the little one wakes. It is one of THE most annoying noises, especially at that time!

That's the thing, tuna. I wouldn't let my dd out there making a racket at that time and we have a retired couple living the other side of her and I know they provide childcare for their grandson during the week so maybe they want a lie in. I am quite sensitive to other people's noise so wanted to know if it was just me or not.

I suppose all the people with children under 12ish, everyone who works on the weekend and anyone else who naturally wakes before 9am is abnormal then.

It’s bright sunlight at 7:55 at this time of year - we even move the clocks to allow people to make use of it!

Oh my god just joined that sounds really unreasonable!

Thanks @Cornettoninja. I have been struggling to sleep all week and woke up at 1am with cramp in my toes so was really looking forward to a lie in.

Sometimes you have to annoy people. My usually quiet neighbours have, on occasion, started noisy work either very early or carried on late. Some of my neighbours have had parties that carry on through to daylight the next day. Sometimes we have done both of these too. Next doors newborn tends to ruin any peace any time at the moment.

All quite annoying, but also all fairly reasonable. People need to live 🤷🏻‍♀️

It's not that Claudia it's just this level of noise that early is disturbing to anyone who might have had a crap nights sleep and want a lie in or even if you want an hours peace before the day properly starts.

I also think if they’re doing heavy duty work like that, they could do the decent thing and give you advance warning. Then you could have put earplugs in/gone to hotel/ made other plans.
Noisy neighbours are so annoying.

She's not usually quiet though! At least she doesn't have parties till late at night!

I think it's pretty reasonable time to be honest. That's the trouble with leaving next to people. My neighbours teens had their music cranked so loudly yesterday when I was working from home the people on the conference call could hear it, but thems the breaks - it was mid afternoon and a sunny day.

Sorry you are grouchy op and hope ou have a good day anyway

8 am is a perfectly reasonable time to expect people to be awake on the weekend. What time do you want to lay in bed until?! YABU.

My neighbours 3 young kids had a row in the garden about their paddling pool at 7.21. I was seething. I don’t let my DD’s out until after 9.30 and then she’s told to be quiet.
