First time.posting in AIBU. Please go easy.

(Continuation of title)....Whenever it suits me? . Live in a low rise block of flats. 99% of my neighbores are lovely and there has been no issues at all with any of them in the nearly five years we have been here. We are on a ground floor flat and two years ago, a lass moved in directly above. A year later they moved into a private rental and kept the flat. Her lass told my husband this. No idea why but DH does have a very soft demeour and people do confide in him.

Since before lockdown someone has moved in. I know she is subletting as he admitted he had her keys and was staying there, to a neighbore I get on well with. Council have also been in touch asking about her to my neighbores so they clearly suspect.

The bloke who has moved in above has admitted to being a heroin addict, asking DH if he knew anyone locally who could get it. Needle marks on his legs and arms ect.

Literally since lockdown began, he has been having parties and not bothering to keep any noise down. I haven't rang the police because the lass who is on the tennacy has a mother who is also on drugs and known round here as totally unhinged.

Things got better after one particular all nighter where I got up first thing shouting fucking moron at the top of my voice, and gave DS, 3, some pans and a wooden spoon and asked hin to show mummy what lovely music he could make.

This week however has been terrible. Loud music, loud voices, massive bangs at 3.30 in the morning, where you can hear everything. Going on all night, keeping the bairn up, and through that me and DH.

I've also sent an annonomous tip off the council about it about it but obviously these things take time. I don't want to speak to him as he seems strung out every time I see him, amd with DH at work most of the times its just me and DS in the flat and I really don't want a strung out heroin addict turning up at my door, which he is likely too if I confront him. Also it is a terrible area where we are, we are doing everything possible to leave, but given covid its unlikely we will be able to buy for a few years yet.

So WIBU given his total lack of consideration, and my overwhelming tiredness, to get up at six o clock tomorrow when the LO is up, and hook baby shark 2 hour complation on youtube, up the sound system and play it loudly and on repeat?. Possibly with pans and a spoon? Given he said and did nothing following the last pan incident when I had had enough (same as tonight), and knows we have a child, I can pass it off as just one of those things you do with kids, that I am sorry and it won't happen again ect. While secretly gloating.

DH thinks this would make us as bad as him, which I agree with to an extent, but due to a week of no sleep, I am finding I really don't fucking care. DH is at work most of the week so doesn't have to deal with a threenager running off a few hours sleep tops.

Hes blaring house music as I post, every other word is fucking or cunt.

Despite this post I try to usually be a nice person in the main, but right now I really really couldnt give a shit.

So WIBU to do this? Baby shark being the most worst thing I can think of. If you have any ideas of what can be worse, please hit me. So far I have baby shark and thats it lol.

Really can't wait to get out of here.

Fair point. I'm not sure he would unless I was doing it all the time which I'm not. The last time he stormed out he came back that night out of it. He said hello pleasently when he saw me putting the bins out, so clearly had forgotton. I presume he'll do the same today. But you are right, drug addicts aren't stable and its best not to annoy them; last night I just snapped. Due to lavk of sleep, I clearly wasn't thinking straight so thank you for being honest with me.

I'll look at other official channels today and go from there.

Thanks again to everyone who has replied :)

Tbh he probably won't even notice of he is sitting gouchin all day. It will just annoy your other neighbours.

Iminaglasscaseofemotion · 12/07/2020 12:16

He didn't say hello because he had forgotten, He said hello because he doesn't even realise you are trying to annoy him. You think he's storming out, but he's probably not.

Fighting fire with fire is only going to upset your other neighbours. They will think he finally shuts up and then you start.

Does anyone know how to contact the girl who has the tenancy on the flat? Can she be tracked down? To contact her and say you have all been contacted about her flat being sublet and the Council are asking you all to log evidence so that she can be prosecuted/sued etc. If she goes for it and kicks him straight out it could be the quickest way to get rid.

If you have belief that the flat is being used for drug use then it is a police matter. The information you can provide may help them build intelligence for a bigger case. You can report comings and going anonymously by contacting crime stoppers. Often flats lived in by a user are 'cuckooed' by dealers and other users. The police need this intelligence.

How about contacting the lass who is subletting to let her know the situation, gently explain that you are not the only one affected and if the council were to investigate and discover the subletting....

We had a situation similar with a very horrible aggressive man who was living in the flats at the end of my road. We all share parking but there isn't enough, none of it is marked or designated and we have all just happily muddled along. He started coming home in the wee hours and if he couldn't park where he wanted to he'd rev, lean on the horn, scream and shout and threaten. He'd also smoke weed in his van and leave the buts everywhere, sit in his van playing loud music and use the communal garden as his own personal rubbish tip.

One of my neighbours phoned the person who was "letting him stay for a month or two" and gently pointed out that should a complaint be made to the council it would be him getting in trouble for subletting. He quickly sorted the situation himself and horrible bloke was gone the week after.

Thank you to everyone who has replied. You are right i won't do this again. I don't know what he doing up there, but he certainly uses. Aside from the nerdle marka on his legs and arms, the smell of weed is constant to the point we have to kewp the windows shut.

Aside from parties he doesn't have people traisping up and down all day so I don't know if he deals. Aside for the brief hellos now and again I have nothing to do with him. To answer some questions: contacting the lass with the tenancy may be the best way, however I have no details for her nor know where she lives. I know her mum lives on the estate but I wouldn't know which block. He will go eventually I know this and it may be I just sit up and shut up till he does. Hopefully we won't be here much longer either as it isnt just him, its the general area thats getting to me.

I have called the police during lockdown about it but they said they couldnt get out straight away. By the time they arrived, the party was over so that was pointless.

Thank you again for all your honest replies. I appriciate it

Learnerpuppy I didn't know that thank you. I'll speak to DH when he gets home from work and contact crimestoppers. So long as I can do it annonomously I'm fine with it

I don't think that a 'strung out' heroine addict is going to give a shit about baby shark tbf.
He has bigger fish to fry (pun intended).
The guy is an addict, your little game of music revenge is too tame to even register on his radar.
