Neighbours teens woke me up grr!

Now I understand it’s the holidays and all that but people still work and need their sleep. At 8am I was woken up by my neighbours teens. I live in a detached house so didn’t think I’d have this problem! We’re on a private road so dead end, there are 4 of them going up on and down on those hover board things. They were, and still are, blasting music through a Bluetooth speaker too that is conveniently placed on my front wall. It has been going on for 2 and a half hours and I’ve already lost it at my OH. Had to move my car so that it doesn’t get damaged if they fall off. I finished work at 6am this morning (care work) and today is my only day off for the next 2 weeks so was hoping on a lie in. I wouldn’t have minded if they weren’t blasting music, it’s strange that it would be antisocial behaviour if it were adults but it’s okay because they’re childrenHmm The parents seem nice but now I just think they’re CFs. I’m going to have to send OH over to have a word as I’d just explode! Currently seeing them go up and down outside the window in my peripheral vision learing at me shouting along to the music, not how I had my day planned out at all

Yeah 8am is a ridiculous time to let kids out to play and I can’t imagine allowing them to play music!

Why the drama? Ask them to be quiet. That’s all you need to do.

Unless you live on a desert island, you’ll always have to put up with some noise.

Why are you getting your partner involved, he/she isn’t the one being noisy.

Tbf you're a night shift worker. Get earplugs.

In a few months time every Fucker with a lawn will be out cutting the grass at 9 am Grin

The kids are enjoying themselves and not doing anything wrong at all.

Because I’ve had 2 hours sleep and I need to be in the right frame of mind for my jobHmm Kids playing outside, fine. Blasting a speaker full blast on my wall, no.

So tell them to be quiet?

What’s the issue here?

StillMe1 · 27/12/2018 10:46

I was woken at 5.24 a.m. by my neighbours "talking loudly". They are over 60! Some people are not considerate and even later in life don't get the idea acting like decent citizens

So if I went and placed a speaker on someone’s wall shouting and swearing with my friends at 8am, I wouldn’t get anyone angry or even calling the police? Just to add they aren’t my immediate neighbours they’re from down the road so no idea why their speaker is on my wall. I’ve always found this quite interesting, the things that are acceptable for children to do but not adults. It’s a good debate

YANBU The music would be the thing that pissed me off too, any time of day never mind first thing in the morning.

AGHHHH · 27/12/2018 10:47

Who blasts music outside that time of morning? It's antisocial any time of day.

Yanbu.

sparklefarts · 27/12/2018 10:47

Have you asked them to be quiet?
And, firstly, told them that they are not allowed to put a speaker on your wall? Why you've not at the very least got them to move the speaker is beyond me

nuttyknitter · 27/12/2018 10:47

Have you asked them to stop? I usually find that if you ask politely but firmly ('Hey guys, would you mind keeping the noise down? I've just come off a night shift and need to catch up on some sleep. Thanks') most teens will respond positively.

HolesinTheSoles · 27/12/2018 10:47

Ahhhhh that would drive me mad. Since when is blasting music out loud in public acceptable at any time of day let alone 8am? I would have gone out and nicely asked them to put music on headphones if they need to listen to it while hovering.

I would have but I didn’t want to appear angry to them even though they’re at least 13! That’s why I lost it and asked my OH to speak to the parents later. One of them has just fallen off and thrown a fit so they’ve gone back inside thank goodness! I felt a bit mean feeling happy for that but it’s probs the parents allowing them out so they get a breather, I don’t blame them! I honestly wouldn’t have minded if there was no music as it’s normal noise. Hopefully they don’t pull the same tomorrow

Well if any child or adult placed a speaker on my wall, I’d be straight out and ask them to move it and to actually not use it as it is a disturbance. I’d also call to the children’s parents and ask that they request their children to switch off the music altogether.

IAmAlwaysLikeThis · 27/12/2018 10:53

It’s got nothing to do woth them being adults or children, but yes, people are thouhtless at times so just go and ask them to be quiet.
