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.

[quote OnlyheretovoteonAIBU]@Devlesko Chav is not a racist term you’ll have to find something else to be offended about.[/quote]
I think it's offensive too because it's sneeringly judgemental.

Ours has the pool, trampoline, music, loads.of people round, bad language, weed smoking plus various others things. Horrible and I mean vile to the kids, and we have reported, fuck knows what social services actually do.

I feel very blessed with neighbours over the years apart from the ones beside us growing up. Enough said. Our last house and 1st as a married couple had a few glitches over the years but all very minor tbh. Our very large rear garden was like a magnet to some of the kids and we didn't have any ourselves so sometimes let them play in our back garden.
Now we are in a new build,d and today it's very quiet and peaceful. A mixture of retired people ,couple of young families and young couples. Sometimes the noisiest thing is the sheep in the nearby field. Reading about all these terrible neighbours and I think surely one day that's going to happen to us probably when we are really old and have become a grumpy old manlooking at you DH and a grumpy old woman

Not too bad round here today, although last night we were treated to alfresco karaoke until almost midnight. Luckily not right next to us.

The ultimate knobhead neighbour award goes to my gran’s next door neighbours though. As you can imagine, my gran makes very little noise. They have complained to her not once, but multiple times, about the fact that she has the audacity to feed the birds.

In the meantime, he gets home from work at lunchtime every weekday and blasts classic rock in the garden for hours. They also have a hot tub

Waits until we decide to sit in the garden and mows the lawn, but she doesn’t just run a mower over it and leave it at that, she takes a few goes at it followed by a leaf blower. She did it yesterday and took 2 hours to do it.

Honestly could be the same tiny person but it's teddy's rather than cats. So lovely :)

Cutting down a tree, very slowly, branch by branch, twig by twig, with what sounds like something marginally more powerful than our electric bread knife .

I can see it going on until it gets dark tonight.

Lovely neighbours both sides, but the sun comes out and one of them gets out a range of high powered garden and DIY tools. Can’t sit and snooze with a major construction project going on next door! Today it is a home made greenhouse type thing being built over the raised beds that were built the last time it was sunny. Our gardens are pretty small, he can’t find much more to do, surely?

Sat in my little back garden and the only noises are the birds tweeting and the distant screams of people at the local theme park. It’s too busy to even attempt leaving the street but remarkably quiet just here .Most weekends my meat head neighbour his revving his boys toys ( quad bikes )

Before lunch the entire estate was treated to rave volume-level (compete with extra loud bass) dance music. Someone also drove by in a drop-top custom Ford, complete with flames on the sides, which had a very loud exhaust - I didn't mind that, though, as it was short-lived and I like custom cars!
Since then, nothing except Mr Great Tit (living in my nest box), who is loudly telling everyone to stay away as this is his territory....

What really gets to me is why families who are tolerant and embracing of constant noice opt to move to reknown quiet areas. We are a quiet close in a quiet area. Mainly retired people and a few families with children but all very quiet.

then comes the family from hell, loud all the time. Can't be outside without shouting and screaming, loud play in the garden, loud music, dog barking.

Worse is when they moved in and commented on how lovely and quiet the street wise. The bottom line is THEY don't want to be disturbed but have no qualms at annoying everyone else around them. If you like noise and it is normality to you, go and live in a neighbourhood with people who share the same lifestyle.

It sounds like you’re expecting people to know what type of neighbourhood they’re moving to, before they’ve lived there

One of mine just talks incessantly, nicknamed ‘the drone’ no one else talks, he must just talk at the rest of the family, so fast I can’t even understand what he’s saying. He’s full of shit anyway. Music gets turned up just enough to blot him out.

Agree completely.
Can’t bear noise. Lucky are those who live far from hearing distance of others.
I’m getting a Whippet next week, and hopefully she will be quiet.
Have had sighthounds before, and they aren’t given to barking, but had a rescued one that could wail when left.
People don’t realise how their noise impacts on others.

Anything swimming pool or hot tub ramps up the decibels, same as with trampolines.

I have the radio on at a pretty low level in my lounge and doors open. All the usual noisy neighbours are hungover from all the annoying scream shouting parties it sounded like they had

Attached neighbours rarely ever go outside so their kid has no clue how to play with anything reasonably. He will kick the football as hard has he can, often slamming into something in the garden unexpectedly (me/dog) and at the right angle, straight into the lounge and now he’s started opening the gate to retrieve it. Last time I told him off because he might let my dog out
Today they let their kid out and shouted at him within 2.5 mins so he went back indoors

Pretty much.

Since 6pm last Friday we have had “Thump thump music” going on from next door as they sit in the garden. They have had several family members over, over the 4 days, and because the music is so loud they all have to shout to make themselves heard. Plus the grandchildren bouncing on the trampoline, the daughters boyfriend having to go out the front, start up his motorbike and Rev it continuously for 10 mins - only to turn it off and go back indoors. The other grandchildren (and their very noisy parents) turned up around 2 hours ago. Kids are kicking a football against our fence (plus the endless squabbling and screeching!) at the moment. And the adults are treating the neighbours to the sound of screeching voices as they sing via a speaker system and microphone on the good old karaoke. It’s doing my fucking head in!! 🤬

They moved in about 4 months ago. I hope they move out soon! This used to be a lovely, quiet estate. How one family can make life a misery for neighbours 😫

I wish I could afford to build a house on the top of a mountain!

Two doors up had a small BBQ, luckily the wind blew the smoke the otherway so my washing is fine. Kids are out and about in the close nae bother from them, couple of cars in and out, the Whippy Man will be here soon too.
All in all pretty quiet here.

Yesterday, the already large family opposite had their entire extended family visiting. Most have premium cars and like to advertise their arrival with wheelspinning up our small street before parking wherever they like... including over people's driveways, at the junction, blocking other people's cars in etc.
The shouting and braying as they all became progressively drunk was added to by their toddler screaming because he was being ignored. For once, they actually stopped around 10pm though, and it didn't finish with the men brawling in the street. Just lots of shouting, car door slamming and more revving and wheelspinning. They just couldn't give a flying funk about anyone else.

Have you time travelled back to 1995?

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'm pretty sensitive to sound..but even I cant get mad at the sound of people enjoying their lives and a sunny bank holiday (they are rare!!) Especially after all the recent rain.

Very peaceful and orderly here on Scotland's east coast today.
People are going about their normal business and the kids have been at school.
Just a normal Monday and not a public holiday here. Bliss.

Absolutely nothing. All 3 sets of neighbours are either away on holiday or have gone out for lunches/meals/picnics, I think we are the only people who have stayed home on our street, so many people had bookings at the pub!
We are in our garden, with the inlaws and having a BBQ

Put a lock on your gate to stop the neighbours kid from leaving your gate open.
Too risky with your dog.
