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 live on the same street as my parents and whenever I want to walk to their house or back to mine I get stopped to chat about absolute bollocks to various neighbours, does my head in! A 2 minute walk turns in to 20 sometimes. Especially does my head in if they're trying to spread gossip, I literally couldn't care less if number 6 leaves their washing out on the line over night 🤷‍♀️

A child we call The Screamer who is at one of the day cares that back onto our building. She screams virtually all day until they close at 6. I am listening to her screaming right now. Why does play have to include screaming your lungs out? And why don't they stop her?

She is becoming infamous with everyone on this side of the building.

We never heard the noise from the approximately nine day cares clustered together as we did not view the apartment on a weekday.

We just thought that the noise of children playing is a pleasant one and why would it bother us?

We were wrong. Screaming all day (not crying) is very annoying.

DIY Dickheads

Now, I don't usually hate people but ... I HATE the dick next door with a passion. Almost a decade we've put up with music that shakes our windows, music that regularly starts at 9 / 10 / 11 pm, shouting at eachother because they can't hear eachother over their disgusting taste in music, ( we've been through every single channel possible to get them to shut up...) I can literally hear their normal conversations our walls are so thin but her, in particular, is thicker than wet cardboard, I hate her and the sound of her stupid voice, she's always screaming at her kids / dogs / mortgage adviser... Also she hums, not a usual humming a tune hum, a deep can hear it through the walls over the vac hum, like a drone of pissed off bees.

5 HOURS TODAY SHE WAS HUMMING...5 MOTHER FUCKING HOURS! (And she's still outside whistling and singing at the top of her stupid voice and shouting SO LOUD because she stubbed her toe...)

If she doesn't fall off a bridge soon I'll have to push her. Seriously.

They sold their house in October and I almost threw a party, turns out they can't get another mortgage (she's also just spent 5.5 k on a puppy when he's borrowing money off his dad... Yes the walls are that thin and yes I can hear all this over the top of whatever it is I'm doing / watching). 😑. I've never wanted someone to succeed in a house sale so much in my life.

Sorry for the rant there 😂 I really needed that.

Existing. She lives above me. Is loud all year round. I actually really hate her.

@AnxiousWeirdo record the humming, book a travel lodge (or similar) for a night then leave the recording playing on a loop all night full volume!

@FictionalCharacter

Oh lord *@Bufferingkisses* that would make me want to puke. “Wee wee” and “do a wee wee” - ugh!

Physically vomit or are you just being twee?

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.

This properly made me laugh! You poor thing, I couldn't cope with this shit. 😭

all quiet here , seems like everyone has gone away or out. No music, screaming, hot tubs or sex noises. Been in the garden all day. It’s been blissful. I’ll probably pay the price tomorrow though.

Neighborhood full of kids but only one family has screechers. The parents also installed low quality speakers so we are subjected to loud, tinny music whenever the sun's out. This weekend they've been away and it's ever so peaceful.

We have a family whose garden backs onto ours, and I’ve got to the point where any noise they make winds me up now.

Their children scream and screech beyond normal levels. And then men (I assume at least one of them is the dad) shouts WITH the children. Their voices are just so loud. Other neighbours aren’t happy about it either.

They used to have a dog which barked incessantly, it was even worse when they put it out in the garden at night. They even used to have a crowing cockerel – we live on a housing estate in a town, not a farm, not out in the country.

During various lockdowns, they started playing music in the garden, and I told myself that it was important to keep the children entertained – but if it’s loud enough that we can’t talk normally to each other in our own garden, then it’s too loud.

I’m struggling with my mental and physical health at the moment, and try so hard not to be wound up by every little thing, but it’s difficult. I’ve just been for a peaceful bath, with the window open for a gentle breeze, and the calmness is destroyed with the screaming and shouting.

I don’t mind mowers and gardening noise, general DIY, children playing, people entertaining guests, but I cannot cope with this family.

New people in the garden behind us. DH has christened them "The Cunt Laughs". He'll announce to me "The Cunt Laughs are out again." and I instantly know that there will be shouted conversation drifting towards us all afternoon, lots of effing and jeffing, and a bloke (I think he's the son or son-in-law) with a the loudest attention-seeking laugh ever, like Woody Woodpecker on speed.

Then there's the granddad that loves pretending to be a monster to his visiting grandkids. He does the loudest "Raaaaarrrr" over and over and over till the kids are sound slightly upset and hysterical and shouting "noooo!" in a frightened-sounding kind of way, but still he carries on.

I don't know when people got so selfish. We have neighbours 2 doors down with little girls about 3 and 5 who often play out and are delightful, I love hearing them playing, and their visiting grandma (whose every word I can hear ) as they have normal volume voices that don't grate on your nerves and they all have a modicum of intelligence. Even when they tantrum I don't mind it.

I don't even mind outdoor parties till 2 in the morning when it's not very often, for a big birthday. I'm a tolerant neighbour. It's the coarse, voice like sandpaper, type of needllessly loud and attention-seeking people I can't stand

Or people who seem to be constantly doing DIY early in the morning, banging or sanding or jet washing something. Not because they've moved into a do-er upper, but because they just seem to like using tools. Perhaps it's because they ARE one.

Oh and there are neighbours with 2 French bulldogs who sound like cockerels being strangled when they bark, which is often, and at length. Or was, until recently. I haven't heard them for a while, come to think of it. Perhaps they've sold them.

I don’t know thank god as we have moved and move to our new property in a couple of weeks but I imagine they would be in their hot tub with the barking dog and children yelling. I had an inward smile today.

Cutting up slabs with an angle grinder for his new patio

On a Bank Holiday???? Some neighbours appear to have no respect for others at all. On Sundays and Bank Holidays we, as children, were always told to be QUIET.... given people have to work the next day and would like some peace before a hard week.

@MizMoonshine

I live in a terraced house. I have neighbours both sides and back. They play music, have kids and spend time in their gardens... They even make eye contact and conversation. Did a neighbour ram a stick up all of your collective arses?

This.....brilliant

Fucking hell.

Playing music and making loud comments about it in that Special Child Voice that people do. "Oooh, Millie, are you DANCING to the song?"

Luckily it only lasted two songs and I finished my book in peace.

Our neighbours are lovely but she has a PhD in pottering.
Spends hours on any sunny day just pottering on the patio. Moves pots and plants plus ornaments around all the time and then moves them all again the next day.
It really winds me up and I know I am being unreasonable.
The house behind us has two daughters who have screaming contests every sunny day and it is horrendous.
We are really quiet and try to think of others but one day I might lose it and play some heavy metal at top volume

Singing umb- a- rella- ella- ella... noisily, tunelessly and repeatedly. Why?

It's actually been nice here today. Even though the "posh" neighbours next doors' children are playing in their pool with what sounds like 30 friends (think it's actually 2 or 3) it's not too bad, just kids enjoying themselves.

My partner was painting my elderly neighbours' hall for him today so he's been in the house. He's a lovely, childless man who dotes on my little girl (who's only 2) but she's very shy and just cries at his attempts to make conversations.

Can’t believe our luck - both sides are away for the week!

Neighbours are horrible at time! How can people be so rude and entitiled? Mine just don't give a shit about anyone else's quiet enjoyment of their gardens ever! They've had the music out in the garden since 8.30am this morning and it's still going strong. FML.

Lit a VERY smoky BBQ while my ok

Posted too soon!
Lit a VERY smoky BBQ while my laundry was out, bastard, if he'd come round and said he wanted to light one I'd have brought the clothes in, was so bad that in the c5 minutes it took me too frantically run out and grab it that over half of it smells. Really pissed off.
