Neighbours party

[ShakinScarecrow]

My neighbour is having a party. They have a marquee in their garden and people are in and out of the house and garden. It's an adults birthday party and they are playing loud-ish music. There's 15+ people there.
This is in London so under tier 2 restrictions.
I'm in bed BTW.
WWYD?
A) ignore, none of my business
B) report to non emergency police website
C) get out of bed, get dressed and go round and speak to them

A.

A because it's not 1984

Get out of bed, get dressed, and go round to join the party,a couple of drinks, and you won't wish to be in a reporting mindset.

B
Absofuckinglutely
They're dickheads
They're part of the problem

Why on earth should you need to go round and 'have a word'?

A

Or C if you have babies they are keeping awake/work tomorrow.

B is..... morally wrong. It’s far, far more wrong than your neighbours having friends around their house, and I am frightened that people can’t see it.

Morally wrong?? What the fuck is wrong with you? I'm frightened that you can't see permitting people to break rules that are for their and everyone else's good is what is morally wrong! I presume you don't call the police when your house is burgled, or an ambulance if you're sick? Because, y'know, the powers are out to control us all...

B

B They are idiots and deserve to be dobbed in.

Won't they have a massive fine if you report? I'm guessing they would know it was you, not great for neighbourly relations!
If the noise is keeping you awake I would knock on the door and politely ask them to keep it down.
I presume you don't call the police when your house is burgled, or an ambulance if you're sick? I would rather our services responded to serious incidents than to be called elsewhere because my neighbours were having a small party.

If it were an elderly isolated neighbour having a rare careful visit from a relative to offer much needed support, or someone having a medical or childcare issue, or seeing a single relative they may not see for months..we can all sympathise.

These are piss taking party goers who just don't give a toss about anyone else's job, or mental health, or physical health or family. I would report them.

And no, it isn't 1984 fgs

Only exception is if you think they will be told who it is and may be violent or severely troublesome in response. I doubt they will be told and you can deny everything if asked. If they are making that much noise they could be spotted in passing.

Surely it’s finished by now ??

I’m stunned so many are fine with people socializing and spreading covid. I’m in Australia so have a different view but we had strict lockdowns as soon as there were cases and now we’re almost completely covid free. My state is back to 100% normal now and my elderly parents are free to go out without fear.

How can you be ok with assholes blatantly doing things that out your entire society at risk. Anyone up cares about the elderly and immune compromised would surely be happy to just lock down and get rid of this. It’s possible to do so - he is it even a debate? If everyone did it properly once the economic damage to businesses is so much less than dragging this on for years.

Hi Op I would go with B option too !

@oldandwornout
I agree with sentiment comment,
Ask next neighbours to watch your house still
Fights Arseholeness with Arseholes L.o.l😂😂😂
Like your attitude 😉

Hi Op I would quite happily report my next door neighbours if I knew sensed they were having a outdoor with that many people as your next door to you, that is obviously way too much reflecting sign of times,
My next doors are proper Arseholes twice their teenager son smashed my bathroom windows 😬😬😡 I would happily dob them in report to Police Authorities too, I be concerned too as football Arsehole smashing footballs son is a nurse in hospital, so yes feel its my duty to keep on eye on stuff like any potential anti social next door neighbours gatherings of any kind .

A

Please can you tell us what you did/ the outcome etc.

Thanks

How did the party go OP, did you take a bottle round?

a

B I’m fed up of people thinking rules don’t apply to them.

C is the right thing to do if not the easiest.

B

Thanks for your suggestions everyone, I went with the majority for option B.
Although I am generally an option A type, live and let live, mind my own business etc...

Before covid, many of my neighbours had loud parties and it didn't bother me, it's just part and parcel of living in a big city. Thought they were taking the piss in current situation.

I've got no idea if the police went round as I fell asleep, but it was still going on an hour after I reported it. It wasn't next door, it was further away. It's quite a densely packed area so they wouldn't know who reported it.
I just woke up and it's finished now.

Or.....

D) get out of bed, get dressed and go round with a few bottles and join in.

It would be D for me.
