Hoovering at 9pm

[Jkrowling92]

House share. House mates hoovering at 9pm. That’s late right?

I’m sick of it tbh.

I don’t think it’s particularly late, but if you do then you should probably talk to your housemates rather than whinge on here.

Wouldn’t bother me to be honest. It’s a relatively quick activity at a moderate noise level.
If you find it really intrusive could you chat to your housemate and ask them if they could do it earlier?

I don't think it is late really?! Late would be when people are in bed, most adults aren't in bed by at that time.

Are you in bed at 9? Doesn't seem late to me

My neighbours usually wait until midnight (semi detached). 9pm isn't late.

Late?

Did it wake you up?

Unless they know you have to be up at 5am for a shift in icu or something then I don't think they are being unreasonable

Lol okay

I guess it’s the case when you’ve fallen out, everything they do irritates you. Growing up that level of noise would be reserved for earlier in the day.

It pisses me off when my ndn does it at that time but that because she seems to feel the need to ram every skirting board in the house multiple times (she's also fond of doing it at 5:30/6am too). If was just a quick vacuum through it wouldn't bother me.

You’re a saint tbh

Already awake but I like to wind down that time. Usually asleep by 10:30pm and awake at 6am.

Where would the fun in that be though?

It’s not late and doesn’t go on for long. I could live with it - is it every day though? That might be annoying. My neighbour had her hairdryer going at 1am a couple of weeks back - now that was anti-social!

It isn't what I'd choose to do at this time of night.

But... I've just smashed a tumbler so had to.

Didn't wake the three year old. So I'm celebrating a job well done.

What bothers you exactly about this time of night and, what must surely be a short lived thing. Their room can't be that big

At least their hovering and keeping the house clean instead of leaving a messy house 😉

When do you do the hoovering?

Its not late. Im the only one that does in my place and it might be at 9 when i get home from work. It causes zero problems.

All good points. It bothers me because I struggle to sleep and 9pm onwards is wind down time so I like the quiet. It’s a house-share though and you are right it is very short lived.

I have never heard my ndn, who I've lived next to for years, vacuum. I therefore vacuum at whatever time I like as I assume they can't hear mine either. I certainly don't think 9 p.m. is too late to do it.

They sit in the house all day. They’ve finished their course and are on holiday.

That's not late !

@NotEverythingIsBlackandWhite maybe your neighbour is like me and hardly ever hoovers!
OP better in the evening than early in the morning, it's a horrible noise to wake up to!

I'd never Hoover at that time unless I'd broke yet another wine glass, which I'm quite good at and I quite like the people I live with.

My neighbour never hoovers before 8am or after 8pm, and we do the same.

my view is 8 to 8 as well - unless you are detached and only residents or know for sure any attached neighbour is out.

It would only bother me if I was trying to sleep. I’m an awful sleeper but don’t think the fairly inoffensive noise of a hoover would prevent me from winding down.
I think this is a ‘bitch eating crackers’ scenario.
