Dickhead neighbour has the radio on in the garden...it's 7.45am FFS

[RainbowBriteUk]

I have had massive problems with my NDN's. Since I moved in 7 months back, the constant noise has been an issue. DIY with loud power tools every single day, music in house, music in garden, TV turned up if a music programme is on. Today takes the biscuit though. Usually he's out from about 8.15am on a weekend wielding his power tools. Today they already have the radio on in the garden and it's 7.45am FFS! Good job i'm moving soon!

You need to join in. Song and dance around your garden... Loudly.

Do you have a male friend who can come stay?

Is it a removals company your using or a mate? Can you park up the night before?

@Aprilwasverywet ha ha ha do you think that would solve anything? Not sure they'd turn it down or allow me to have my quiet hour in the morning when I get up that I so desperately crave!

@Theunamedcat I'll be fine for the next few weeks left of my tenancy. I'm using a mate but they won't be able to come til the day of the move. My friend assures me with a few burly men there, he'll be scared into moving his van. I hope so.

He can always call the police and they can ask nicely

On the day you leave, leave a single fairly powerful radio on full blast, up against his wall, lock up and fuck off forever. Hopefully he will have at least a whole night of unbearable noise before he gets in touch with your landlord and asks him to go in and turn it down.

I’d also key his car and let down his tyres before I go but that’s just me and I’m not suggesting for a second you do that OP.

Deep breaths OP.

You are out of there soon, just keep reminding yourself of that. Can you go somewhere nice today so you aren't subjected to it?

WRT moving day, I suspect most removal blokes are used to this kind of wankery and will be equipped to deal with him. It would be such a shame if they accidentally damaged his car whilst trying to squeeze things past it etc.......

Think of it as their problem, not yours. Does he know you are moving? Obvs try to keep it a surprise. Good luck.

Oh yeah - do all this too

I think I remember your thread from before, really sorry you've had to move but it sounds like they were never going to change their behaviour.

Pop round to visit him to say goodbye when you leave and drop some prawns down the back of his sofa!

I’d do something horrid on my last day, like putting dog shit under their drivers door handle, or really stinky fish through the letter box late at night. Maybe a padlock on something like their gate or shed so they can’t open it.

"I think everyone is scared of his reactions. No one round here sits in the gardens in the sun. This is why! Constant noise! It's a lovely terrace otherwise. A really nice mix of people and everyone is friendly. Just these total and utter cocks spoiling it for everyone!"

Horrible...but they are small loathsome little people & this is their only real power. Imagine a life like that where you just get kicks being an arsehole... Be glad you are moving. My NDNs are a bit like this...not deliberate to piss me off but uncaring or thoughtless as to whether their drilling or hammering or powerhosing (he is definitely compensating for something...makes me laugh when I see the hose now!) or cars blocking gates & inconveniencing others. It is rude & ignorant behaviour but not all people are well taught or well bred. They are nosey arseholes too....I can't be out for two mins but they are out faffing about...almost everytime. Wife, if I see her (she is more indoors type) asks what kids are up to/where are they...if you mention 'exams' or 'Uni' you always get a predictable response how 'it is far too much pressure' & none of her kids went & they are doing just fine, thank you v much. Hello...you asked?! I don't comment about your 30 yrs+ adult children still living at home & how independence should be instilled & valued. We are quieter, more considerate, less intrusive, less nosey, less sharing -unless asked as above, so not standoffish or rude. We can co-exist (so not as bad as OP's case). They are not like us...which is fine...but thankfully we are not like them!! If it were worse to the point of deliberate...I would move...

This sort of dispute can get out of hand - I know it made mother mother really ill. Please try and put it from your mind - you are moving soon, thank goodness.

Good luck with your move and I hope you will be happy in your new home.

report to your landlord and environmental health at the council.

if you own a car or know someone that does, park it at your back gate then move when the moving van comes along

I agree, just focus on the fact you're leaving every soon.

I hope your new neighbours are less shitty

Make sure you scratch his van every single time a bit of furniture is moving past it!

Thank god you're moving

Fingers crossed the new neighbours are more considerate!!

'If you own a car or know someone that does, park it at your back gate then move when the moving van comes along'

Definitelt this... watch for the empty space at your gate the day/eve before & get in like Flynn.

I would ask another neighbour with a car if they could park in front of the gate and move it at the appropriate time (I assume you don't have one)

A friend told me she was so happy to be leaving one house, because of her nasty neighbours, that she twirled in excitement when she was throwing a full bottle of cooking oil out.

She was next to the Neighbour’s car when the lid went flying off and the oil went all over their car and windscreen.

Fortunately, cooking oil doesn’t damage paintwork but they must have been very confused when the windscreen was blurry. Probably just got worse when they turned the windscreen wipers on.

Must have been a little bit inconvenient for the neighbours but my friend was worried about how they might react so didn’t tell them about her ‘accident’.

You will soon be gone to somewhere lovely! He will be there forever. People like this must be miserable in their own lives to get off bullying others.

With my ex neighbours from hell I know they will be there forever. Husband cant keep a job and despite the braying have no money.

But you and I are going to be great!

If he moves his van at any time in the week before you leave get something parked in its place?

Do you know if they rent the place?

If so, you could try to contact their landlord. I'm not sure how you go about finding out who it is but there is probably a way if you Google how to find out.

If other neighbours are also bothered by them then you can join together and complain to their landlord. That way it does not rest with a single one of you for the nightmare neighbour to spite more. You can tackle it as a community and be much stronger. Good luck x

When you leave, make a mixture of dog shit and full fat milk up and pour it into the air vents on his van.

He will regret ever existing once the hot weather takes hold 😉
