Party warning from neighbours

[partyondoon]

NC.
Someone who lives on the road at the back of us has posted a note through the doors of the neighbouring properties with a party noise warning on it. It seems nice to warn us of a sleepless night due to their disco marquee scheduled to end around 2am but it also seems a bit like we've told you there's a big party so you can't complain. No one on this road knows them (v small quiet road) so it's quite bemusing to get these notes. Is this a thing to do? ASD adult and dc here and we don't understand party etiquette very well.
Sorry for posting here btw. I do know that it can be frowned up.

@SycamoreGap

It’s not polite or courteous - polite and courteous is not keeping your neighbours awake until at least 2am.

Correct.

We have neighbours who do this. The party always lasts 6 hours longer than their note says

2am as a one off, with prior notice, surely is no biggy?

Some right miserable sods on here.

Not miserable, just someone who massively struggles with their sleep and who wouldn't appreciate loud music at 2am - especially not over the weekend when it's my only chance to get a decent lie in.

No it is not ok to have a loud party till 2am, warning you is not an excuse . You can post the note through their letterbox that they must finish by 11pm.

One off is better than regular, but it does not really matter, we need to sleep every night, and for some people the next day could be one off because of an important meeting or an interview.

It’s polite.

I’m a pharmacist and I often work weekend shifts. You probably wouldn’t want me dispensing your medication if I’d been awake half the night.

But the fact you had been pre-warned means you can have a little nap beforehand

But naps don't work for everyone.

If I'm not exhausted, I can't just fall asleep - and if I am exhausted and sleep in the day, I feel even worse afterwards - groggy, headachy and sore.

You can post the note through their letterbox that they must finish by 11pm.

🤣😂🤣
You gotta love MN.

@Driftingblue

Warning you doesn’t exempt them from following your local noise ordinances. Did they include a contact number so you can let them know if they are bothering you past whatever hours are set at in your location?

God. Just let them have their party if its a one off!

Would you agree if I steal £100 from you? With a warning? No? I thought so, you miserable sod.

Why should I allow someone to steal my sleeping hours then?

As a one off, I’d appreciate the heads up. It’s polite.

Yes, because that's exactly the same thing, not

I think 2am is a bit late even for a one off event, there are lots of jobs that people need a full night's sleep for and who wants to deal with grouchy children if everyone is tired.

@NotQuiteHere

Cause life is too short 🤪

I'd turn up at the door with a Party 7 and the note
"Thanks for the invitation Jessie" and go in to throw some shapes on the dancefloor

(Not really obvs)

"Steal your sleeping hours"?

😂🤣😂This is the thread that keeps on giving 🤣

Are people really unable to tolerate a single 2am party?

I have two autistic DC who would struggle massively with loud music going until 2am as well as a young DC who will give zero fucks I'd been up half the night and would still expect me to be awake with her at the arsecrack of dawn. 11pm/midnight with advanced warning I could deal with, 2am can get to fuck. If someone wants to have a party with loud music until 2am then they should hire a suitable venue rather than host it in a residential property/garden (and these things never finish at 2am, it's always "one last song" or "one last drink" followed by the waiting for taxis, engines idling, shouted goodbyes lasting 20+ minutes)

*Would you agree if I steal £100 from you? With a warning? No?

🤣🤣🤣

My son stole lots of sleeping hours off me, who shall I complain to?

A one off is not the end of the world and I really think there are some joy suckers on this thread.

Are people really objecting to a one off party til 2am, after all the shit we have had over the last 18 months?! If I had the money then a garden party with all of my friends would have been top of my list!

The neighbours have warned the OP, she is prepared as is her son who may have problems with noise, which is the right thing to do. They could have just gone ahead and not told anyone, but they thought of others and are still being blasted on MN. So glad I dont live in MN Avenue with some of these neighbours.

That's nice of them, I wouldn't mind at all as a one off.

@ApplesAreTheBaneOfMyLife

It’s polite of them but definitely think 2 is too late.

Me too midnight is more than enough.

Would you agree if I steal £100 from you? With a warning? No?

Ridiculous analogy

It’s nice that they put the note through your door.

If it’s a one off I’d just get ear plugs and let it go, but if they start doing it frequently call the council noise abatement team as soon as it goes past midnight.

I’d say that it’s fine till midnight, but any later would be taking the piss. We’ve had a few late night parties around here recently which I understand due to restrictions lifting, but they weren’t even directly next door or behind us and the noise was unbelievable. Not just the music either but the constant shrieking laughter and ‘whooping’ sounds.

Yes I would be annoyed at 2am as I have to get up to do early shifts (nurse) ad work a 14 hour day. Yes you can buy earplugs but if the music is close by it will not always drown it out. Nobody begrudges anybody fun but midnight is late enough.

It's a one off party. I can't believe the responses on here.

The purpose of the note is so you are aware, and can make arrangements according to your preference including staying somewhere else for ONE night if it will be impossible for you to cope with.

Unless you have never disturbed your neighbours, which I don't believe for a second, you need to learn a bit of give and take.

It's a very polite thing for your neighbours to do. Live and let live one party is fine. Don't sweat the small stuff.
