To put a note in a Christmas card? Noisy neighbours!

New neighbours two doors down moved in a few months ago, a Youngish couple with 2 kids. Around a month ago I heard shouting in their garden at around midnight. Opened the window and it’s her on the phone shouting and screaming that she’s cheated. Her language was dreadful but under the circumstances I just ignored it.

Since then there have been a number of occasions where she’s had friends round. They are in the garden shouting and swearing before they go into town. This repeats when the come back around midnight until the small hours. No music just constantly out in the front and back garden shouting, language is dreadful.

Last night this went on until past 3am. There had been a falling out and so there were friends in the street shouting and friends in the back garden shouting. I eventually called out of the window and it did quieten down slightly but not completely, then music started.

WIBU to pop more in a Christmas card asking them to keep it down? DH not keen as I’ve already asked them (by calling out the window) and now need to give them a chance apparently. Also it’s a very small town and she’s from a rather notorious family here. I’m unsure who is right, me or DH!

That's not the sort of thing that Christmas cards are for. But you do need to have a chat with them at some point.

I wouldn't actually put it in a Christmas card but maybe a note to request they keep it down.

Nooo, not in a Christmas card.

YANBU to put a note through about it, but I don’t think I’d bother. If they’re the type of people to behave like that, I don’t think they’re going to care about a note from a neighbour. That sort of repeat behaviour needs to be dealt with by the police, ring them.

Not in a Christmas card.

It won’t make a difference or will possibly make it worse to spite you. Is it a rental? Maybe start logging all the antisocial noise incidents.

Not in a Christmas card! Xmas Shock

Noooo not in a Christmas card. Can’t you go around, introduce yourself and have a chat with her / them?

MrsBobBlackadder · 23/12/2019 08:21

You say they're two doors down - have you spoken to the neighbour between? Could you join forces and speak to them together?

ChewChewIsMySpiritAnimal · 23/12/2019 08:21

That's the very definition of passive aggressive. Don't be pathetic. If you've got a problem go and talk to her.

Neron · 23/12/2019 08:22

Honestly, she doesn't care and will continue to ignore you. I'd find out if she rents and report her ASB behaviour there.
Bad neighbours cause a lot of misery, I've put up with it for years.

Oooh dear that's not going to end well OP.
