At what time would you start getting pissed off?

Midsommar · 08/05/2020 22:32

Family down the road have been blasting dance music on their garden since about 2pm. No sign of it stopping yet, they have a fire/bbq blazing and they are getting hammered (fair enough, it's a bank holiday) but they're screeching and screaming on their back garden for us all to hear.

Their party shows no sign of stopping. AIBU to get increasingly annoyed? Or am I being a massive priss? I would have thought it's a bit late to be blasting music on your garden past 10 at night...

Two separate parties going on on my street YANBU

MrsP2015 · 08/05/2020 22:54

I'd be pissed off if I could hear it still now with windows closed. Hmmm even with windows open as on a hot night you don't want to over heat for the sake of trying to block out noise.

We have new neighbours a few houses behind us, moved in over winter and today they've had a big party (not all from same house) and are still making loads of noise now- no music but shouting (obviously drunk). DP was going to go round but I said there's no point as in all fairness we close our windows late at night, Baby isn't disturbed by it and with closed windows we can't hear them.
Plus they have neighbours much closer than us who will probably still hear everything with their windows closed.

You have to look at it all and in your position yanbu.

I’ll be honest- I’d have been pissed off at 2 when it started. Nobody needs to hear your music. It’s entirely possible to play music in your garden that doesn’t rattle the neighbours picture frames off the wall.

yummytummy · 08/05/2020 22:55

it is really really annoying getting even louder down my street good thing my kids are heavy sleepers but i am not so am dreading trying to sleep through it. not long moved in so don't want to report them as don't want to be that neighbour but aaarghh

VideographybyLouBloom · 08/05/2020 22:56

My neighbours are out in the fucking street (small cul-de-sac) blasting music since 1pm. All pissed as farts. No social distancing - there must be about 15 of them. I’m getting really pissed off as our bedroom is right on the front where they’re loudest. My 8 year old has already woken up in tears at their shouting. Not much we can do about it unfortunately

CorianderLord · 08/05/2020 22:57

Midnight? 1am? It's the weekend so

@VideographybyLouBloom this sounds like my street...If it is I feel for you, it's fucking awful. Really sorry to hear about your little one being woken by the news too :( so unfair and inconsiderate.

I'm with you op. No solution. It's not direct neighbours as such here. But the whole street. Were I to take photos the mail would have a field day to show people ignoring social distancing, and not just family household gatherings, but 70 households, all at once. It started at 1 pm with social distancing teas, then social distance bingo, then "social distance" party, then they abandoned the pretence and are now dancing, conga, sharing drinks from the bottle and arm in arm singing the anthem.

We came in at 1.30 and by 5 my children were in tears because all the other children- their friends- were outside in the giant pool that had been put up on the common. The adults milled around and watched their children mingle before getting steadily drunker and mingling themselves. The bass is now the backdrop to my dissolution of hope in society

Lima45 · 08/05/2020 23:01

Wondering if you live near me. Next street over is having a massive VE day party.
Whole street out. DJ decks.
We knew nothing about it. According to next door it's council sanctioned and they've been told to end it by 11.

In my bedroom it sounds like I live next door to a club.

Have a young daughter and an autistic DP.

Really hope it ends by 11 because I can't lie in tomorrow and I can't sleep through it.

And I didn't get any of the fun stuff cos it's not even in our street!

Nottherealslimshady · 08/05/2020 23:02

I'd be getting pissed off by like 7pm but I am a mardy arse.

TossACoinToYourWitcher · 08/05/2020 23:04

Sad to see I'm not the only one in this situation. Half my street has got together for a party and are blasting out music. No effort at social distancing.

So bloody disrespectful to all the people who have died and the keyworkers risking their lives. They've played Vera Lynn's We'll Meet Again several times. Except they won't if they get Corona will they.

Hidingtonothing · 08/05/2020 23:05

My neighbours are pretty much all arseholes so I've had to make a conscious decision not to let them bother me. The seething and winding myself up is utterly pointless (because I hate confrontation too ) and only hurts me so I find ways to cover noise/distract myself and try really hard to ignore it. On the upside I no longer give a fuck whether I'm pissing them off in return, which is oddly liberating when I usually care far too much what other people think Hope it quietens down soon OP.

Dotty02 · 08/05/2020 23:08

U can complain online too!

Dotty02 · 08/05/2020 23:10

Sorry that wasn't clear, I was supposed to say u can put In a conplain online to the police.

VideographybyLouBloom · 08/05/2020 23:10

@Midsommar and like you; I’d never call the police/council/noise complaints because they’d definitely brick my windows in or slash my car tires 😟

PickAChew · 08/05/2020 23:12

Probably about 5 past 2.

Destroyer · 08/05/2020 23:12

Probably from about 2.05pm, but I’d grit my teeth until about 8-9pm.

yellowbrickwhorl · 08/05/2020 23:16

If the neighbours are being that loud, how are they going to figure out who dobbed them in? The police don't tell them "Oh, it was Mrs So-and-so in that house over there".

Midsommar · 08/05/2020 23:18

@yellowbrickwhorl you're probably completely right but I always get paranoid they'll figure out it was me. Even though I pretty much keep to myself and smile through the pain!!

ChocolateTea · 08/05/2020 23:18

Someone has just asked ours to keep the noise down. (I could have hugged him, whoever he was) The music went off, but they're still drunkenly shouting at each other. And clearly aren't social distancing. I know my neighbours names, and half of these aren't my neighbours, they're clearly mates drunkenly come over

Now one of them is shouting about how he's been at home for 3 weeks and it's not made a difference so why should he anymore

Sigh.

ChocolateTea · 08/05/2020 23:21

And the music is back in. Fgs. When did people become so bloody rude and inconsiderate of others? I know you live in terraced housing, you kind of have to suck some things up. But this is out of order now.

Timetospare · 08/05/2020 23:23

Do we all live in the same street
I am having murderous thoughts.
It’s now well past 11 and not easing up at.
I wish I had a water cannon.

@ChocolateTea it's absolutely infuriating can you ring 101??

AnotherEmma · 08/05/2020 23:24

It's after 11 now, so grow a backbone and ask them to turn it off, or call the council's OOH noise complaints number.
