To throw a dart at the hot tub?

Mylittlesandwich · 08/05/2021 19:09

NDN's have hired a hot tub for the weekend (something they do semi regularly during the summer). It's only 10 past 7 on day 2 and I'm over it.

Considering an act of sabotage but in fairness the hot tub isn't the actual issue. It's the loud dance music and talking late into the night that is the actual issue.

Previous attempts to politely request a reduced noise level (after midnight) have been met with open hostility and ridicule.

@MelissaVonStressel

Fairy liquid in a super soaker.
I get your idea but they would probably scream with joy as it turned into a foam party!

Sex people have hot tubs.

~shudder~

How often is semi regular?

MrMucker · 08/05/2021 19:32

Chuck in a plastic fake turd before they have the chance to get in.

@sweeneytoddsrazor

I'd say at least once a month. As much as I'm not a fan I don't know why they haven't just bought one. Or maybe they have and they just don't have it out that often? They have parties more often but the hot tub ones seem louder.

Piss in it.

My little don't worry I know you weren't suggesting it.

But I would be tempted to and certainly have considered it and was just thinking you may have too WinkGrin

Have you got a garden sprinkler,to aim into the hot tube area,so its like the rain coming down, cold rain of course. Chuck some frog spawn in the tub. And if you happen to have that annoying old song from years ago, ( The birdie song ) play it loud, and on repeat.

Ohshitiveturnedintomymother · 08/05/2021 19:37

@SallyLovesCheese

If you do throw a dart, make sure you tie string to the other end so you can retract it afterwards and there's no evidence!
Ha! This was going to be my advice too! Grin
Ellie56 · 08/05/2021 19:39

Find some bloody awful music and keep playing it loudly on repeat. The Birdie Song & Agadoo for starters.

grumpygiraffe · 08/05/2021 19:40

According to Mumsnet virtually every garden in the country is overrun with cat shit, so chuck some of that in.

DrSbaitso · 08/05/2021 19:40

Hook up the massive speakers and play The Birdie Song, Agadoo and Hold A Chicken In The Air.

Ravenspeckingearly · 08/05/2021 19:40

@MrMucker

Why a fake turd? There is plenty of dog shit around you could do your good deed of the day and pick some up....Grin

Tal45 · 08/05/2021 19:41

I agree with calling 101 once it gets late and have them break it up or talk to the other neighbours and see if they're affected and all go round and complain together, they might take more notice of more people.

BrilliantBetty · 08/05/2021 19:42

I think you need to speak to them. It is U to be having loud parties and music playing past 11pm unless it is a very rare event and they have let neighbours know in advance.

Speak to them when they are sober in the daytime if possible rather than drunk and rowdy.

DobbyTheHouseElk · 08/05/2021 19:42

I’d go for bonfire or fire pit style smoke effects.

Baby Shark on a loop. Your DS will love it.

Maybe you'll have to mow the lawn at 7am and let the kids out to play with some tambourines.

KarmaStar · 08/05/2021 19:50

I've seen on that sas programme they use a screaming baby noise as torture,find some online,play loudly with a speaker on the fence.or sprinklers?

This has been done, more than once. They're very apologetic, especially when DS was a newborn but it always happens again.

I have 2 (indoor) cats so could definitely source a shit or two.

@Mylittlesandwich

Dog or cat shit in the tub for sure. Maybe a couple of manky smelly dead fish (try Sainsburys/Morrisons.) And also, yeah maybe give the bloody thing a puncture.

I fucking hate hot tubs; dirty, smelly, germ-filled, shit-filled, dead-skin-cell-filled cesspits that they are...... But more than that, I hate people who have one any closer than 50 feet away from their nearest neighbour.

Ba ha ha ha ha! Grin That's the best suggestion yet!
