Oh dear... neighbours party has begun

[Imnotsurprisedreally]

We live in a semi detached house and it looks like most of the evenings partying will be going on in their fairly small garden which is currently filled with a marquee complete with speakers
They don't do this all that often, so I'm going to have to suck it up, but their parties go on so fucking long. Last one didn't quiet down til 3ish and the drunken teenagers decided at some point to chuck their shot glasses onto our patio. Not fun for a family with a cat and a toddler!
AIBU to hope their marquee falls down?

Imnot I agree with you and the big do's at a room somewhere much less hassle and cleaning up.

Hope the noise stops soon

I'll hold your coat Ontheboardwalk and will be right behind you (honest).
I just don't understand how you could make that much noise and be really conscious of everyone else. People forget that those big brown cubes are full of people with functioning ears.

No-one I can call unfortunately, police have better things to do (Notting hill carnival weekend) and Environmental health won't be there until 9am.

Has the karaoke started yet?

They've just turned it up. Sounds like the party's just getting started .
Toddler's sleeping like a log though luckily!
Hope your neighbour's sound system blows up and takes their electrics with it Sarf

Pray for heavy rain and high winds.

Ah imnotsurprised sorry looks like the entitlement is turning up a whole new level.

Sarf I bet they are the sort of neighbours who’d complain about anything that disturbs them

I’ve got parrot from 5am and a yapping dog ALL THE TIME. Soundproofing and white noise get me through life.

Have they not had the common decency to actually invite you?? I always invite the direct-contact neighbours to anything that is likely to be even faintly noisy although I am very glad the one from round the back right hand diagonally always says he can't come

They didn't invite us but I really don't think it would be my cup of tea. The adults seem to have retired indoors now, leaving an enormous group of teens drunkenly screaming the lyrics to their favourite tunes in the marquee. Oh joy!

I'm in the same boat this evening. The hmo across the road from us are also having a party

Welcome firehouse! Is this a regular thing for you?

No I've never known them to have a party before do it's unknown how long the party will go on for. Our room has single glazed windows facing the street and I'm a light sleeper as it is. The party seems to be using the street as an overspill/smoking area and of course they are getting louder as the night goes.

Most neighbours where I live do this:
1 Warn you in advance of party
2 Music turned down at 11pm
3 Party over or indoors and much quieter by 12pm
It makes life less stressful. YANBU

Time for the hose

We once had cooked potatoes thrown on my car windscreen after a neighbours party, they’d thrown them over the roof of our garage too to get them on the car!

Their kids when younger used to throw all sorts of stuff onto our garage roof.

I could see it there, but got so sick I left it, rather than throw it back, they never apologised, but managed to retrieve it.

Bloody hell Green! WTF is wrong with people?
Blathering that sounds more reasonable.
I just can't believe that people need to be outside, screaming and screeching until all hours in order to have a good time!
I've made a mental note not to accept any of their amazon deliveries when they're out any more (wow - that seems even more pathetic when I write it down than it did in my head!)

If it's an occassional thing, I would just suck it up. Yes you could argue it's inconsiderate but if they are otherwise OK neighbours it's probably not worth the greif of getting worked up and angry about.

The glasses over the wall would be an issue I'd have to speak to them about though.

I'll end up doing just that Lucky as, like you say, it's not all the time. It's just pissing me off at the moment as I'm tired, have a long day of work tomorrow and know I'm not going to get any sleep until they've finished. Ah well... I'm sure there are worse problems in the world

I'd find it hard to restrain myself from going into the garden and bellowing ' just shut the fuck up'

Face the other way though, then they'll think it's one of your neighbours

i'm very tempted! Don't think they'd believe it was one of the elderly neighbours on that side though!
I thought they'd packed up a few minutes ago but they were just fucking about finding a new playlist

Wagner

Surely Berlioz would be better

You need payback. It is time your toddler took up the drums and violin. Trust me, the violin is the worse of the two. Buy earplugs before you give the instruments.

In fact, he should probably start playing outside really early tomorrow. You know, one of those shrieking games.

Go for it! 😈

When you're up early tomorrow op make sure you play loud music. Some nice heavy metal should do it. Chuck anything back over their fence, stop taking their deliveries. Being a grown up doesn't mean you have to put up with shit.

My little gran had awful neighbours with a tendency towards loud barbecue parties, so she retaliated with 6am hoovering and lawn mowing etc.

The final straw was when the fence between the gardens had blown down and she saw their party guests step into her garden and take her patio chairs to sit on. She got some sacks of manure for the garden and left them on her patio for a few weeks before she got round to using it. Funnily enough the neighbours didn't want to eat or drink out there so much.

Bloody hell. That must drive you insane!

For scale, I had a hugely irate neighbour knock on my door last weekend. It my daughter's 16th, and she was in the garden with some friends. It was 9.30pm, and he wasn't complaining about the noise.
Apparently one of the kids threw a piece of bread over his fence.
I apologized profusely, and told them to stop being idiots, or they could go home.

There isn't an excuse for antisocial behaviour at all, but your situation sounds incredibly disruptive.

I an just surprised that people go in till 3ish in a house/garden party. If we are outside it's usually till 11ish then quiet if after that. I would have loud music indoors after midnight either. We may be noisy till 1am but I wouldn't imagine enough to disturb neighbours. If we had a huge garden them may be the odd big party each year but still would shut down full in music by midnight.
