To want to strangle my neighbours?

[LKRJM]

Volume up hugely on TV every single night, as in I can literally hear what they're watching even though we’re in a semi and our bed is against the wall not connected. The other day I came home from work to find they’d parked on my drive even though they have their own drive and mine is completely separate! We’ve lived here four years and it’s doing my head in!!!

I can sympathise with you. I have a neighbour a few houses away who has a large drive (5-6 cars) but for some reason they won't park in it. Instead they park in the road across my drive so I can't get in and out of my own drive! No idea why they do this, but it has been incredibly frustrating over the years.

My attached neighbour a few years ago had the tv so loud I could hear every word of the show they watched every night. I had to move my bedroom in the end from the 'master' bedroom to the small box room on the other side of the house so I could get some sleep.

tell them. We told my elderly neighbour about his TV, I think his own DD might have also commented it on it as well, and he bought headphones, so we only ever heard it if he had a pal round to watch the footie (infrequent).

So I always think it's worth mentioning, as you may not be the first or only one!

Sounds like a nightmare OP. Time to go and talk to them?

YANBU

Kill them.

Always works for me

Have you tried talking to them? Do they seem approachable?

I live in an apartment block - Car parking is a total nightmare as my garage and space is right at the end of the block - there's an allocated space next to mine but room to back out behind, that when it's busy people think it's ok to park in! Which completely blocks me in! Plus its always different cars and usually no idea whose (Ranting but it's so annoying!) If I knew who I'd certainly approach and ask, but am trying to apply for signs or yellow lines for that space - pretty much on a no winner tho...

As for noisy neighbours, it's a difficult one - tv noise you can discuss -we have arguers (screamers) upstairs...not so easy to approach but I find it really distressing at times and not sure how to - the lady across from me constantly collars me about it ('did you hear her upstairs last night, she's not right...') but I HATE gossip - plus how do you ask a family not to row???

I’m listening to my neighbours shouting nursery rhymes over and over and over. Shouting. Not singing.

Thanks for the replies, sorry it’s been a busy few days!

I did knock the door about the car as I’d just got home from work I parked behind them assuming they’d move it as they’d clearly see I was home now, NOPE. It was midday but I start work at 5am, I’m assuming they thought I’d be at work all day (I’m always home around 2pm). The woman who answered doesnt live there so I could really discuss it with her. The thing is they’re nice neighbours, always said hello to each other etc. but lately the TV thing is doing my head in. It’s every night except the weekend (the only nights I’d never ever complain about) even though I work the weekends!

I will discuss it with them when we next see them but as there’s an elderly woman, her daughter (50/60) and then two of the elderly woman’s other grandchildren who are around 20 (their dad doesn’t live there but is in and out all week and visits most nights) it is difficult as the dad is pretty unapproachable.

At least I know when it’s 10.30 and stay up to date with the news as I can hear it every single night haha!

Okay I did the adult thing and just went and spoke to them. Turns out they don’t even have a tv upstairs - THEIR LIVING ROOM ONE IS ON THAT LOUD as the daughter is deaf basically. But still. She said she’d speak to them and apologised. I’m hoping that’ll work haha!

When you're done, can you please strangle mine?

Thanks in advance.
