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.

I've got "Mary Berry" (lookalike) on the right who makes no noise at all apart from a strange, soft, continuous, distant honking sound as though a dog is playing listlessly with a toy duck indoors - but she doesn't have a dog. DH reckons it's a quacking sex toy.

By far the noisiest little bastards on this road are the wood pigeons, and as someone else mentioned, the motorcycles roaring through the village and then blaaaaaaahhhhhping away again along the main road.

I'm sitting in the park, listening to a bit of lovely live music, presumably everyone else in the park is doing the same. Irritating people have sat next to me with their massive boom box (yes that probably ages me! 😂) Playing their own tunes REALLY loudly.

I'm hearing impaired. You'd think being deaf would convey some advantage with noisy neighbours. No. It didn't.

In the past we've had the all night parties and loud greetings and farewells when they and guests stagger in and out. Neighbours guests having sex in my garden and breaking the fence, the gate and damaging plants, neighbours not clearing up rubbish from party that had spread into my garden. We've had the amusing screaming matches as the cheating partner tries to placate the cheatee. And then repeat with the housemate they were both fucking independently and without knowledge of what the other was up to.

We had the noisy covid parties and then they got covid, other family members were ill and I think hospitalised, maybe died. We've had virtually no noise for a few months now. I keep wondering if they've moved out. They haven't. It's sort of creepy now.

I call one set of neighbours Lord and Lady Muck.
They haven't done anything to annoy me today though as I'm not in the Uk and it's not a bank holiday. It's a bank holiday on Thursday though so they'll probably do something annoying then.

"Manky inflatable sex pond" 😅

Seriously though? For us, not at all. I'm extremely lucky that our neighbours are so tolerant of loud autistic DC. We seem to be a live and let live neighbourhood although I am waiting for a MN thread on the family where one child won't stop chanting nonsense words in the garden and the other has to be constantly chased around with us shouting "nooo take that out your mouth!"

So glad it's not just us. I feel bad reading this thread as our neighbours are perfect and we are that loud nuisance family, but can't do a lot about it.

I wish there was an open season for shooting neighbours because I hate the bloody NDNs.

So far they have:-

Signed for, opened and kept a parcel addressed to me
Sent workmen onto my property 3 times without permission
Turned my garden into a building site with industrial machinery
Dumped rubbish onto my garden
Involved me in a boundary dispute with my (then) LL
Demanded to know why my nephew was here doing essential maintenance when THEY were breaking the lockdown
Snitched to my LL about bins and parking spaces (I used to rent the property)

A few days ago I finally lost temper with her and told her to F off! Been wanting to do that for ages.

My neighbours are on their 4th party of the weekend (sat pm, sun lunch and different lot in evening, and more arrived an hour ago, on the upside they popped around 30 mins ago and asked if we wanted to join them, bbq being lit at 5. They are nice but I'm amazed they know do many people, and to be fair to them each gathering is smallish

quacking sex toy the mind genuinely boggles at that!

Mine lit a bonfire about 2 hours ago which then proceeded to blow smoke all through our garden and on to our washing that was hanging out!

We are lucky to be in a row of similarly noisy houses, it makes me feel less guilty when its our turn being the loudest:)

The teen chavs three houses down have been playing some awful music on/off for a few hours. Same every year

"I have massive sensory issues with noise due to possible ASD (awaiting assessment) so I know IABU and need to find ways to manage."

You're not being unreasonable at all! I dread the sun and warm weather because the near neighbours are out in the garden constantly making noise, and being generally obnoxious, and it's not the children it's the adults. They don't talk, they shout.

The woman has very public, personal phone conversations, including about the husband's alcohol problems, at volume, and she puts the other person on speaker phone. She actually goes outside to make calls.
She doesn't work during the day and the husband doesn't appear to work much either so we have this to put up with for the rest of the summer.

Our neighbours hobby is DIY. Now its light on the morning he goes out there to hammer/sand. On the weekdays its as early as half 6. Yesterday it was 8.

I think he thinks that because he only does it for 5 minutes at a time its not annoying. But if anything its more irritating as he does it just enough to wake you up, then fucks off.

Yesterday one had the family over with at least two screaming children under the age of 5, bbq smoke, a horse laugh woman and drunken swearing towards the evening.
The other neighbour was using a power saw for about 4 hours but we've no idea what he was cutting up. We suspect it was something of his wife's as she came out screaming at about half past 7.
Neighbour behind is an old man that moans loudly about everything and yesterday it was apparently 'too sunny' though we kept wondering why he didn't go inside if he felt the sun was too much for him?
Someone down the road had a party and the whole street was lined with cars on both sides. My drive was blocked for nearly 2 hours when I was trying to get out to meet a friend at the pub.
I've escaped early this morning to drive to the coast. I don't care if anyone complains about 'those people' filling the beaches. It's better than trying to enjoy my day off in a space with neighbours!

Fires. Bloody bastard stinky bonfires of horrible bloody shit that shouldn't be burned. You have four vehicles minimum. Use one of them to drive that crap a whole mile to the tip, you thoughtless polluting arseholes. Or, novel idea, don't wait for a sunny day when everyone has their windows open to get the urge to have a good old burn.
Oh, and ridiculous power tools underneath my bedroom window at 7:30am, though that's not restricted to warm weather. It's merely more noticeable.

Let me translate that into English for you, as you seem to have used an offensive racist term. The teen children have been playing....

This is why late spring and summer are the worst times of year. Bring on Autumn I say!

We have some absolute inconsiderate fuckers behind us and across five. Every summer, they blare their absolutely terrible rave music until 2am on random nights all week , and they have stupid flashy strobe lights, a hot tub, a garden bar etc, always filled with people screeching and cackling or drunkenly yelling and singing. During lockdown, it was only the pig ignorant family, but all weekend it's been them and their friends, about 35 people crammed into their garden! They've had Coloured smoke cannons out all afternoon! Purple, red and blue ones. And I know as soon as it gets dark, that fucking strobe is going on. Honestly, they have the police out so often telling them to give it a rest, they've had some kind of asbo served on them- they don't care! Honestly, their music is so loud you can feel it thumping in your chest in my house and I'm six doors down.

I hate them, and I can't ever relax in my own garden. The neighbours either side of them have been brought to tears so many times because of them.

Hell really is other people.

@Staffy1 definitely not just you!

Fat gammon’ 🤣😂🤣😂

Mines called ‘meat head’ 🐖

Mines called crackhead.

@MootMoot

It's an Ibiza pool party next door to us.

Manky inflatable sex pond is out, and the fat gammon husband has brought his decks out onto the patio and is delighting us all with badly mixed shit club music from the late 90s. Plus flashing lights around his wannabe DJ set up.

I can cause a distraction whilst you drown him in the sex pond? It's for the greater good.

@Devlesko Chav is not a racist term you’ll have to find something else to be offended about.

Oh not again. The first time we get some really good weather and there's always one person determined to piss on people's chips.

My neighbours on one side are having a party. The child seems to have been given some sort of bell to play with, I am inside with the windows shut. Our other neighbour listens to audio books in the garden, which I think is possibly worse than his awful music, I don't know why he doesn't use headphones.
