Passive aggressive jazz war.

[MonstranceClock]

This is lighthearted really.

This is my original thread www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/3666620-Me-or-my-neighbour

Basically neighbour complained about my song choice one afternoon blah blah.
We haven't fallen out about it, still get along fine and everything but I have noticed she's moved her sonos right next to her kitchen window and is playing very loud jazz that I can hear in every room of my house

What do I do next? Clearly I've started this war. The actual music doesn't bother me, it's the passive aggressiveness that's just making me giggle. WIBU if I counteract with louder music? Perhaps I could move my piano up against her wall. She plays the saxophone, maybe we could jam through the wall?!

I would play the piano along to the Jazz. If she’s that childish it will annoy her to think you’re actually enjoying the music and she’ll move it again. No matter what kind of music she plays, you should play along to it. I’ve experienced similar with my asshole of a neighbour, but I’m not musical and I couldn’t hold a tune in a bucket, so I just sang screeched Along. Strangely enough, they stopped.

That's the best thread title ever OP. Put note thru saying you love/are a convert to the jazz & has she any recommendations!? She'll stop if she thinks it's not annoying you as planned.

I only wish I was good enough to play jazz on the piano

Maybe I could get my self a saxophone, and start learning it very badly and loudly. Then thank her for inspiring me!

As a long term mumsnet user, this is THE most mumsnet thread title ever and I love it

Oh god I read this as “passive aggressive JIZZ war” I love S1’s idea

Get a violin.

Invite absolutely loads of people round and make them all dress like 60s beatniks in black polo necks and sunglasses, then get them all to stand around in the garden looking over her fence while smoking, playing imaginary drums with their eyes closed and saying 'Niiiiiiiice' and 'Great vibes, you crazy cats' like John Thomson's Jazz Club character.

I have nothing constructive to add but I would like to buy an album entitled "passive aggressive jazz war"

Should we start a mumsnet band? "The passive aggressive jazz war"??

Also I would like to merge this with a recent thread and say I would fucking love to read Harry Potter and the Passive Aggressive Jazz War.

As you were.

How about playing some music by the Second Viennese School?

See I would find the heaviest metal song I could come up with, one that is really thumping and banging, place it against the sharing wall and watch away!

If she says anything say “oh! I thought we were sharing music!”

I'd just do the same to her as she did to you with that awful tinkly laugh at the end. Then Lamb of God up full blast to a level enough to drown out her music, until she turns it down.

Sounds like a script for a new version of Midsomer Murders.

Do what dollydaydream suggested, and make sure that when there are suitable breaks in the music, you shout random improbable musician names out, like "Howling Tomcat Jones on the sax, ladies and gentlemen!" I went to a bona fide jazz club once and that's precisely what the compere bloke did.

I’m just here for the thread title

It's ok. I've won. My daughters bedroom window is wide open and she's blasting out top 10 recorder classics. The power of jazz is no match for passive aggressive toot toot.

Touché

Please don’t. I had to put up with my neighbour’s music blaring out, which was because of another neighbour’s music blaring out.

My other lovely neighbour is on holiday thankfully!

I read jizz too

My daughters bedroom window is wide open and she's blasting out top 10 recorder classics.

#PEEEEAAASSE PUUUDDING HOOOOOOOOT... #

Although your dispute appears settled I'd still stick on War Eternal by Nightwish on full blast.

I might have meant Arch Enemy... :o

I'd still blast it out though, her voice is incredible.

Dear god that escalated fast. Jazz is bad, but the recorder! You are cruel.
