Sun out-dickhead neighbours out. What are your neighbours doing today to annoy you? (lighthearted

[Adultasd]

My neighbours do my head in year round as they are so bloody entitled in general but when the sun is out it's worse. Loud music, they can't talk, they shout to each other and when they have visitors it's even worse and that's before they get the outdoor fire going and force us indoors after quickly getting the washing in.
I have massive sensory issues with noise due to possible ASD (awaiting assessment) so I know IABU and need to find ways to manage. Unfortunately moving to an island isn't an option although I did eye up that advertisement for a caretaker of an unpopulated Scottish island with interest and wish I could live somewhere like that.
What are your neighbours up to today that's annoying you and how do you deal with it? Stereo wars? Hosepipes at dawn? Penguin bollards (CFs have been known to park on or across my drive and then make out it's me being unreasonable), playing the sweariest music you can find at full volume? I'm not actually going to do anything but humour me here.

One of ours has taken up chainsaw art.
We don't exactly want to go round and complain either!

My neighbours, both sides are lovely. No complaints. On one side there are two cute little girls who sing, chuckle and yes, occasionally cry and scream. Which children don't.

We have a shared garden that our neighbours entirely dominate. They have a trampoline my two aren't allowed to use. A fire pit and bbq which is used daily and my autistic child has no concept of it potentially being hot so it's dangerous.

I sound miserable but it's really frustrating

I'm sorry you all have shit neighbors.. I love mine on both sides. In fact we are in the process of buying the house to our right ( much bigger than ours) so the people who buy our house will have awesome neighbours too 🤣🤣🤣

Neighbour’s dog just runs about the garden barking. So bloody annoying, even when I’m in the office at the front of my house I can hear it way over the back. Starts at 7am, til 11 at night.

My lovely ndn feeds 70+ feral pigeons every day but goes nuts if my cat walks across her garden. My roof is disintegrating due to pigeon crap PH but as she reminds me regularly, SHE OWNS HER HOUSE AND IT IS PRIVATE PROPERTY, whereas I am a renting peasant.

We've all got them and yes, that Scottish island job enticed me too.

Everything they do pisses me off!

Barbecue in the pissing rain, or when I have washing out, kicking ball against MY fence (it wasn't cheap). Kicking a ball late at night, constant get togethers with screaming and I mean screeching kids. Nice people but so no thought process or care towards anyone else.

😂 I can see why!

She has left her (ridiculously loud) car running for 30 mins now, I'm tempted to go turn it off!

Radio on loud from about half eight in the morning until it gets dark, every day there is sunshine.... Don't mind the odd bit of music, quick loud blast of a few songs, Saturday evening party noise, kids playing etc....but omg that incessant flippin ' radio. I can't tell you where I want to shove that radio

Hell is other people. Everyone is quiet where I live apart from one noisy family. I’m afraid I will only put up with their noise up to a point but if they stop me from sleeping or working in peace then I do say something. I’m not going to be stressed out by other people’s shit. I’m quite considerate of other people when parking etc and would help my neighbours in a heartbeat, but I have the capacity to be bloody difficult if they are with me. Respect cuts both ways.

Windchimes. Sorry no I mean flipping cowbells! Right next to where we have our seating area in our garden.., I politely requested they moved them down the garden a bit last year (they are my partners distant family and normally really lovely).. .. I got a tirade of verbal abuse and insults, name calling etc like you wouldn’t believe.. plus now extra wind chimes added to the already annoying ones! Love thy neighbour. NOT!!

Letti g the kids play football and bounces ball off my car! Whwn I have visitors....they lie behind fence weeding!

@gamerchick

Mine are quiet but every year without fail she starts collaring me about the front garden. It's a shared space and I gave it to her to use as she wanted for her grandkids on the proviso that it wasn't my responsibility. So she'll use it as she wants and I don't go near it, but expects me to maintain it during summer months still. Then will try and get me to do her jungle of a back because she can't manage it.

I have to stealth like ninja just to avoid her.

Tell her its better for nature and wildlife to keep it natural :)

Really???? Always got on really well with all my neighbours. Maybe just chill and relax. And accept that life isn't always perfect. You can't change other people just the way you deal with it.

came home to neighbours car getting washed in my drive using my hose, my fault obviously for not having installed bollards or turned off the water- practically invited them in

Pretty quiet here apart from the seemingly never to depart landscapers in the garden at the back having found a particularly banal but grating radio station to entertain the neighbourhood.

I'll take that over the fucking tarpaulin on the next roof down that's been straining to take off all night in the recent gales. On the upside said gales seem to have strangled their wind chimes hopefully permanently.

I can deal with most noise during the day but we woken up by NDN small children who were let outside at 6.45am this morning 😩 I never let mine outside before 9am when they were little!

Windchimes. Fupping windchimes. And a tiny water feature that is on 24/7 and makes you want to go wee-wee when you're lying in the garden.

Mine aren't shit, we live in a really lovely part of our road, and we're all always doing stuff together but singly with one set of neighbours, there's not respect at certain times. Maybe its an age thing, although I was more respectful than they are at that age. x

Lovely 90-something neighbour on one side, but OMG, her family are AWFUL!
During covid they have turned her garden into a kid's playground, and although at first I thought, "ah that's nice, they can see granny through the window" now I just think they're taking the piss. . . TWO trampolines, various wendy houses, football goals. They arrive with their kids and their kids' friends, so often 8-10 in the garden. What's worse is the dad is a Disney dad/ performance parent and seems to think it's hilarious to be a 'monster' charging around the garden making them all scream (and the babies cry).
Today they arrived with about 8 of them (including parents) and had a giant supersoaker scream fest for two hours .

Huge South facing garden at back but covered in dog shit they never clean so the garden stinks

Them and people constantly visiting sit in tiny 3ft by 12ft freezing north facing garden sitting on wall staring into my house and in everyone’s faces on the road. They look ridiculous trying to follow the sun to not suffer hypothermia in the front garden.

I was bothered at first and shut my blinds for privacy. I’m now more than happy for them to watch me watching telly and scratching my arse all day

Letting children scream and argue from 9am. I am all for children enjoying their garden as mine do, but I wouldn't let mine out arguing and screaming at each other from the crack of dawn

Mine too. Are you on our street?? 😊
