To be cooking up sweet revenge plans for the party that still hasn't finished from last night?

I know it's the girl next doors 18th but the shouting and shrieking all night in the garden right under our window and the Drunken Fist fight in the street that has just resulted in dh having to go out and break them up and a police van drive past a few minutes later (they'd all gone by then) was the final straw. So now I'm plotting revenge. I've already said no to the poor postman who couldn't get an answer (there must be more than 20 people in the house!!) and wanted to leave their parcel with me but I need more.
We're selling our house soon (which is why I haven't been able to go out and tell them what I think!!! Don't want to cause a neighbour dispute I have to declare) - I wonder if I could find someone particular vile to sell it to.
To be honest it's not her I'm so cross with but her feckless parents who I'm sure are in the house sleeping with ear plugs in.
I know I pulled a few all nighters in my youth but it's nearly 10am and they're still going!! How!?!?
So who's got some good revenge ideas I can cackle over with my 10th cup of coffee of the morning Cos the kids slept through it all and were still up at 6.

FFS it is her 18th birthday and they only have parties once a year? Agree with pp that you are being a bitch. Ridiculous

We had one of these a while back. We went round and the incredibly drunk lad in charge was extremely nice and polite. We asked him to try and keep it indoors, and that drunk teenagers on the trampoline was a bad idea. Also reminded him the number of cars parked meant he probably had a few drivers there and keep an eye on drunk drivers, all very civilised. Then as we walked away, we heard someone from behind the door shout “boring old wankers”

We did see him trying to keep it inside at first but then didn’t bother. It died down about 3am.

We think we might have got revenge a few days later whilst taking DD round the block on her adapted trike. The mum was outside and commented on how cool it was and chatted with DD for a bit. My parting line was “we came round to ask your son to keep the drunk teenagers off the trampoline the other night, it’s not often you see such politeness in a young lad these days, he’s a credit to you” I couldn’t tell for sure, but she looked a little confused. I suspect she didn’t know about the party.

I think calling someone a bitch for starting a lighthearted thread about having to put up with shrieking teens and loud music literally all night is pretty bitchy in itself, Tbh.

YoThePussy · 15/06/2019 14:19

Anyone who called me a boring old wanker when I had been polite in my request and I would be straight onto the council noise people moving or no moving. Incidently a quick report to the council does not count as something you need to declare when moving. Only if it escalates and courts or ASBOs are involved.

OP go with the glitter bomb card for the moment. Maybe a bag of cockroaches posted through the door as a leaving present when you finally move. They will be the gift that keeps on giving.

We often dream of banging pots and pans on a Saturday morning after these sorts of all nighters.

LakieLady · 15/06/2019 14:32

Thankfully, all my neighbours are quiet. But if they were in the habit of having loud parties that went on way into the (not so) small hours, DP might feel the need for some early-morning motorbike maintenance the following day.

A Pan-European fitted with race cans can be quite loud, especially when given the "Italian tune-up" treatment.

dramalamma · 15/06/2019 14:45

Thanks for all the suggestions.... they are definitely making me feel better imagining them! For the op above who said 12 hours..... yup and we're nearly at 17 now..... and it's still!! Going on. Started about 9.30/10 last night and there are still at least 15 teens wandering around swigging something blue from party cups.... I'm assuming it's something caffeine ish. I'm out for a few hours now but if they're all high in caffeine I'm hoping they're not still going when I get home!
We told them off for peeing in the communal courtyard and got shouted at but the granny next door gave them a dressing down for breaking a bottle there and they actually cleaned it up! Am totally sending granny in to bat if we have any more trouble!

Surely you need to drill holes in the wall, maybe at 11pm because they'll be shattered then.

LilQueenie · 15/06/2019 14:54

I was going to say once a year can be ignored especially as your kids slept through it but urinating in a communal area and smashing bottles is different. Quick call to police on that one maybe. anonymousy.

bellabasset · 15/06/2019 15:17

I think its polite to tell people there's a party on, especially if its outside and during anti social hours.

Unless you're going to be jetting the super soakers over the wall there's no point. But a combined set of neighbours putting different music in their gardens will work. That tends to get the message home to those who think everyone wants to share their noise.

dramalamma · 15/06/2019 15:31

That's exactly it Bellabasset - I wouldn't have minded anywhere near as much if I'd been warned. If they're still going when I get home I'll be having some serious words and if they don't listen will get the police out but am hoping they give up the ghost soon so I can start my dastardly revenge plan 😉

There's nothing you can do that she will give the tiniest shit about. I can remember being an arrogant youth and anything a neighbour tried to do to get revenge I'd have just laughed at.

YoThePussy · 15/06/2019 16:20

What does work - but of course would be wasting police time - is to ring and tell them drugs are being consumed at the party. All the better if you can acquire some syringes to scatter in the gutter outside. A quick trip down the nick and full search of all bodily orifices will sober them up pretty quickly.

YoThePussy · 15/06/2019 16:23

And for those who don’t believe me my NDN many years ago ran into the garden shouting loudly his need for some ‘Popper’s (Amal Nitrate). The policeman in the road behind heard and like it was magic the police turned up at the doorstep within minutes. Oh how we laughed.

dramalamma · 15/06/2019 16:46

Popped back to drop someone off.... still going! And they've got the music back in again so I'm predicting a little call out to the local constabulary this evening - still hoping they'll have packed it in by then tho!

WaterOffaDucksCrack · 15/06/2019 16:58

For it to be going on that long I'd guess pills/coke/both. And any loud noise or whatever you make probably won't affect them. I never got hangovers/comedowns at that age and I don't recall any of my friends doing so either....wait til she's 30 Grin

IvanaPee · 15/06/2019 17:01

I would buy a set of those plastic musical instruments - tambourine, recorder etc.

Some symbols.

And tomorrow morning I’d send the kids out at 7am telling them whoever made the most noise gets a prize!

YoThePussy · 15/06/2019 17:08

A party is one thing but an all weekender is another, not fair at all. Gin Gin Gin needed

sittingonacornflake · 15/06/2019 17:17

Wow they sure have got some stamina haven't they!

I'm always amazed at the people who side with the rude neighbor who's having a noisy party that goes most of the night (or in this case all night and into the next day). The only conclusion I can come to is that they must be the type who has/had this kind of party themselves. Either that or they just enjoy being contrary.

It's entirely possible to have a party without disturbing your neighbors in the wee hours of the night even if you are young and insufferable--. They're being very selfish. The glitter bomb sounds perfect!

Yabbers · 15/06/2019 20:38

Anyone who called me a boring old wanker when I had been polite in my request and I would be straight onto the council

That would have made me a boring old wanker 😄 It was just a party, nothing too bad.

dramalamma · 15/06/2019 22:30

Just home and ...... it's over!! Pure blissful silence! DH reckons they'll be back for round 642 at 2am but I'm optimistic they've all run out of red bull/dope/18 year old exhuberance and gone home to their beds.
Hope I'm right as dh is so sure they'll be back that he's got me to agree to very loud sex With the windows open if they come back! (Kids are away!) That will surely put them off for life so let's hope for their sake they're done for this year!!!

Hope your neighbours aren't still at it at 5pm tomorrow afternoon!!
