Aibu to want to be able to sit in my garden.

[jmh740]

Been busy all morning and I have an hour or so free now, I'd love to be able to sit in the garden and read but someone is having a party outside I can hear the music inside with the doors and windows closed, it's the same every weekend. I don't want complete silence but I don't want to listen to it over the sound of my own tv. We only moved 6months ago so this is our first summer and I'm really wishing we hadn't moved here now. Its the first time we've ever had a garden and I don't feel like we can enjoy it.

The only thing is that this is an exceptionally nice summer weatherwise so perhaps other years won't be so bad.

Light a bonfire, that may send them inside.

@onedayiwillmissthis And I often fantasize about shouting 'shut the f*ck up' at the top of my voice.

Some years ago I did exactly that - albeit minus the "fuck" - at some random guy in a nearby garden who would come outside every single morning and clear out his disgusting smoker lungs. Proper hawking up, phlegmy sounds so gross.

Took a couple of goes but he stopped it after that.

I'm glad you know what others will find offensive... It's offensive if you don't want to listen to it. Don't inflict music on others.

Yanbu - your neighbours are selfish. A Once in a while party is ok but even then why have the music loud.

We put on something non-offensive like Moby or Fleetwood Mac and put the stereo as quiet as possible on their boundary so it just acts as a sound buffer.

Fair enough to play music to drown theirs out, but I would definitely find enforced Moby offensive!

It’s just something base-y and inoffensive enough that we can still mantain a conversation without having to listen to loud, terrible music (they were playing a hard metally band doing covers for three hours yesterday)

Anyway, as much as I’d like to spend all day every day in my garden, we really don’t have the time that often so when we do, damn right I’m going to play music my family likes rather than listen to the neighbours hit their kids and play shit music all day for the purpose of pissing off other people
