Loud and uncouth couple

Am on holiday in a privately rented apartment. Twas lovely and peaceful until about an hour ago. Loud couple arrived in apartment below. Yelled conversations, including her calling her husband a fucking cunt. Nice. So far they have phoned everyone in their contact list to tell them they've arrived, with the phone on loudspeaker. WIBU to burn their apartment down while they're out?

Do you tap dance at all? Might be a nice time to learn…

I love this suggestion!

@Thecurtainsofdestiny

I have nothing useful to add. But uncouth is a great word!
Also nothing useful to add other than the random fact that there is a Street in Milnrow near Rochdale called Uncouth Road.

I feel your pain op - if you’re not keen on tap dancing might I suggest clog dancing? Nice chunky wooden clogs with irons on the soles.

chocolatesaltyballs22 · 08/10/2021 14:16

Haha great suggestions. I will report back with further uncouthness as the drama unfolds.

Oh God , just wait until they've got a drink in them I feel your pain
They're probably already pissed. Fuck's sake, hope it ends there.

Amazing how some go on! Called him that and then had sex?

WhyOhWhyOhWhyyyy · 08/10/2021 14:30

Oh sympathy. We had this on a holiday a few years ago. Spent the first few days relaxing outside our villa enjoying the peace then the loudest family ever arrived next door. Not one of them could speak at a normal volume, every word was shouted. My stern glares at breakfast had no impact 😂

Set their car on fire outside late a night, then they will have lots to do outside, sorting all the stuff out with the firemen and police, and everything else that needs doing, Then they will have to go home thereafter, in a hire car or other means of transport. Ruined noisy break for them, peace for you.

Play some Des O'connor songs at full volume

chocolatesaltyballs22 · 08/10/2021 15:42

Christ, he's slurring. Badly. I can literally heat every word of their conversation. And I really don't want to.

Oh gawd, how annoying. Do elaborate though…

We had this in Italy but they were Italian so it wasn’t as bad somehow. Then they got out a blowtorch to incinerate their meat which was inches from my ear on other side of fence nearly jumped 6 feet !

chocolatesaltyballs22 · 08/10/2021 17:21

Oh it was basically a loud convo with a mate at home which consisted of the word 'fucking' a lot, 'where's the Jaegermiester' (yelled at his wife mid conversation) and then 'can you hear me' yelled at his mate down the phone at which point I yelled over the balcony 'we can ALL hear you', at which point I heard his wife shushing him. It's gone quiet now. I suspect they've gone out to get -more- hammered.

Haha. Good work. Hopefully they might take heed of that.

Nice one. If the noise continues, start to join in their conversations.

Download a bad coughing sound to your phone and play it loudly. Use a mister to spray droplets over your balcony. Whinge about getting a PCR test. That might force them inside.

Enjoy the sunshine

Update - it would appear they can talk at a normal volume when not tanked up. The holiday is saved!!

Marvellous! Hopefully the rest of the holiday is plain sailing.

So glad to hear this. Hopefully, they will remain couth for the rest of the holiday.

This reminds me of the time several years ago we ‘met’ a similar couple on the coach that dropped holiday makers off around the resort. We had our fingers crossed at each drop off that they would disembark. They didn’t. We were the last drop off along with them. We were welcomed by the rep and escorted to our apartments … side by side. We ended up having one of our best holidays! They were very loud (total opposite of us) a bit sweary but very nice people with hearts of gold and awesome sense of humour. The local people really warmed to them and threw a little ‘leaving’ do the night before we all left.
