To ask why?

[TheLowry]

When we are all on lockdown, all of us confined to our houses and gardens, why do some people think that the whole fucking neighborhood wants to listen to their music blasting out all afternoon? Utter, selfish twats.

It's always shit music as well.

At least they're not burning their rubbish in their garden...

Yesterday we had builders working all day next door - when building on bank holidays is banned by the council.
Today we have the neighbor the othet side holding an outdoor disco, so loud we can hear it inside with doors and windows closed.
It's just miserable.

Could be worse, in other countries the cunts are singing from their balconies or playing their instruments for the "benefit" of others.

I'd love to hear from someone who does this - why do you think it's ok?

I’m waiting for all my neighbours to finish pressure washing their gardens. It’s a small road, only 3 houses left now. Hopefully they’ll do it this long weekend and get it out of the way. Someone has found the pleasure of using a hedge trimmer today.
Music would be really irritating, it hasn’t happened yet.

Our neighbors look normal. We lent them something last week that would have cost them hundred to hire for a day and saved them hours of hard graft. And today they are inflicting shite music on us for hours.

We were going to jet wash our patios last week but is was gorgeous weather so we didn't do it. Everyone was out in their garden. We felt it would be really crap too be so noisy when everyone is on lockdown

Woken up this morning at 7.30am
By some cunt with a leaf blower a few doors down.

Just. Why.

I hear my neighbours asking Alexa to play so and so's music. I feel like shouting Alexa, dont you bloody dare

I just got out my own speaker, chose a shit song, pointed it at their garden and turned up the volume full blast to drown out their awful noise. They took the hint and turned it down a bit. My teenage son told me I was being childish.

But will someone who does this please explain your side of it? Why do you do it?

I feel your pain, Op!🌸

The answer to ‘why?’ is probably one of these....

Because I want to

Who made you the fun police?

It’s not that loud

I can do want I want in my own home

Etc, etc

Has anyone else got to the point where they are hoping for rain... just to get rid of the casual socialising, sunbathing, team games, bloody stinky bbqs, family visiting and so on? Every warm day day that keeps coming seems to make the socialising worse!
Why do these people seem to think that the rules just don’t apply to them - and because you are being careful.. they can then be even more of a cheeky fucker than normal??🤷‍♀️
It fries my head!!😡

Lowry I've done that before back in the day when I lived in a small flat and my neighbour in the flat directly above would play his shite music 24/7.
It's not as bad now but a new family moved in two houses up the road from me. I was doing some gardening today and they had windows and doors open and some 'boom boom boom' type music going I was counting myself lucky to not be directly next to them, but it's still stunning how inconsiderate they were - surely we all want to be out and enjoying the sun and not be forced to listen to their choice of music!

Can you go I another room and not hear it?
Unless it's really loud, I'd let it go. It's bad enough for everyone being stuck at home.
But I wouldn't play music myself with the window open.

I want to sit in my garden without sitting in a disco. I don't want to have to sit inside with windows closed.

Our neighbours do this every day from lunch time until 1am, loud annoying music and we can hear the bass all through the house.. they're druggies and literally dance and smoke all day long, our garden is like the second hand smoking area of a really dingy shit nightclub. Great with 3 kids 4 and under

By every day I mean before lockdown too.. we are detached but they're a semi - I really feel for their other neighbours. The neighbours the other side of us once called the police and said it was us because it was so loud they didn't think it could be two houses down

We've had mowing/strimming/drilling from 9am till about two hours ago accompanied by really shit loud music from just two neighbours. The street would be so quiet if not for them.

We’ve had it so loud you could hear it for miles....he announced he was doing it on FB and rather than getting many complaints he got requests and played them. To be fair he stopped when he said he would.

We've had loads doing DIY, one doing the thud, thud, thud (but he turned it down and turned to a slightly more family friendly playlist which was much appreciated) and we've all had bbqs. We've had circular saws, trombones, lawnmowers, and strimmers. But all in all, no-one is being an arsehole, people are just trying to fill their time, they're mainly being considerate and not trying to overimpose on others. After a stroll round the neighbourhood today, I'm pathetically grateful to our wee lane, there are definitely neighbours around that if I were next to them, we'd be sending each other spare!

Someone on my fb is posting pictures of them putting on a concert for the benefit of the street.
Tbf they are a good player, and it's only 20 minutes, but I do keep being very tempted to comment "you never mentioned you hated your neighbours before". 😁

High of 6C on Monday, up here. Sounds appealing, doesn't it?

I'd love to hear from someone who does this - why do you think it's ok?

In the case of my neighbours, it's because they're self important cockwombles. To give an insight into this type of mindset: their kid broke a fence panel playing football. My normally quiet dog was getting wound up being able to see their dog. I fix the fence the next day and the woman shouts 'oh you're finally fixing that, about time too'.

The neighbours directly behind us do this every nice day. I'd hoped they'd moved as I hadn't heard anything from their house since October last year. It started 4pm Thursday. It starts around 4pm every day until dark/cold. I'm praying for rain. I really don't know how their attached neighbour puts up with it. I've had 2 summers ruined by coming indoors.
I went to the bottom of our garden and banged a few scaffold poles and deck boards in the hope they'd think someone was home so to be quieter, alas, music turned up and singing along. Last year it was thrash metal at full volume. I have held off contacting the council but now I'm documenting it all then reporting. I think the house is rented so hoping the landlord gets a copy of the council's letter and gets involved.
To clarify I have one teenage daughter who listens to music on earbuds and a tortoise for a pet. We don't entertain and if we do it's small dinner parties no fecking music.
