I think our neighbours heard us...

NC for this as I'm mortified.

Would never normally happen. We don't do it often and when we do we are discreet! But last night dp and I had a few drinks and had some rather loud and ahem, vigorous adult time

Walls are thin, semi detached house and about half way through we heard a very loud intentional cough from next door. Obviously realised if we could hear them then they could hear us. Stopped quite soon after.

It was late and we were being inconsiderate. I wasn't thinking and I was definitely making a lot of noise Now I'm totally embarrassed. Obviously I would never bring it up so do I just front it out when I next see them or hide indoors forever??? Please tell me it's no big deal!!!!

Puzzledandpissedoff there is a French film I saw at the London film festival that you could refer to- 'Gold for Dogs'.

You have no choice but to move house now

@sophandbridge that made me lol.

Ah, but does it have rampant nuns in it??

Bed noises aren't too bad but me honking like a sea lion probably isn't what they wanted at 1am. The shame

Your name's not Maggie is it OP? 🤭😆

@BoulangerieBabs

You have to remain in your house forever more Op. the shame of leaving will just be too great

Hell yeah! I have to listen to my neighbours shouting and screaming at each other and call the police on the regular. I'd much rather hear some fun times because then I'd happily turn up my telly and ignore it rather than sit on tenterhooks wondering if he's going to hit her this time and I'll have to call the police again.

On your way to the garden centre or on the way back?

No big deal! They’re probably now wondering if you can hear them and equally as mortified 😂

I remember living in a ground floor flat, in summer with windows open you could hear most of the neighbours!

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Stay in and never leave home again. Or emigrate under cover of darkness. Or, front it out and never mention it. I pick option 3..

@sophandbridge

Buy a pampas grass and wait and see if they knock on your door.

Haha! I love pampas grass but would have to hide it in the back garden if I got some. It always makes me laugh when I see it in front gardens. Have seen a few in the neighbourhood lately.

And?.....

about half way through we heard a very loud intentional cough from next door. Obviously realised if we could hear them then they could hear us. Stopped quite soon after

So your “half way through” was what..... a minute or two in....
🤦‍♀️
Your neighbour has always been able to hear you. Did you want a medal!

Maybe the neighbours said to each other over dinner,

"you know what, she must think we're boring old gits who never have sex because we're so quiet. Get your sexy nightie on, Mavis! I'll take one of those Viagras I got off the internet!"

Wait for it OP

This is why I moved out of London so I could have a detached house 😂😂😂

Sea lion..😂😂😂😂😂
Dying here..😂😂

@DryRoastPeanut It was a bit longer than that!!!!!! I guess the cough was to signify they'd had enough. I certainly don't want or deserve a medal, I'm mortified.

But you guys have cheered me up lol.

I lived in an older house with very thin walls and you could barely hear anything, even when I held a glass up to the wall - and I tried a number of different types and sizes too.

@VienneseWhirligig

If you didn't get a round of applause and/or heckling then I think you are fine

You took the words right off of my fingertips!

I once had a neighbour say ‘there’s very strange noises come from your house’. I just looked at her like I didn’t know what she was talking about. After that did try to remember to shut the windows 🤣

Never have sex again. It's dirty anyway.

I never get why people scream and bawl whilst shagging, maybe I've just not had the right sex to be howling!!! But it was a one off op.. I'm sure it's fine and they've forgotten about it.

The walls are so think between houses you could hear them cough while howling yourself?!?

My god I'm grateful for my well built 00s new build!!!

@Jumpingjosephene21 I know you're mortified but after a shit week you've had me crying tears of laughter reading this especially when you finished "soon after" rather than straight away!! I say you front it out shamelessly. The walls are wafer thin in my block of flats you hear everything including my ex upstairs neighbours who had a regular pattern of arguing and then the making up started I swear to god I used to worry they'd fall through my ceiling with the amount of noise they and their bed made even banging a broom on the ceiling never worked they kept going. I did get my own back a little though as I was heading downstairs one morning I was on the phone moaning to a friend about my lack of sleep and saw the husband so I said loudly enough for him to hear "yeah the neighbours woke me up again I'd be very surprised if they didn't break the bed!" he looked mortified said nothing and walked past me without a word. They were quiet for about a week before it went back to normal LOL They weren't the worse neighbours though.
