to mention the screaming sex????

32 replies

Help!

Neighbours are out and their adult son who is staying with them is in. He has been having screaming banging sex for two hours now and both my children are awake asking me to stop it and what is it Confused

Neighbours are lush. They babysit, mow our lawn, take the bins in and tell us to send parcels to their house. They are the best.

It is only 8 o'clock and the laws of nature mean he'll surely have to stop soon Wink

We only live in small houses and the screaming can be heard across our house. The kids can't sleep, not just the screaming the banging of the bed frame sounds is too loud.

Do I do anything? What if it happens after maybe 11pm? What the $!%# do I say to the kids?

I can wrong judge things and don't want to make the neighbours offended because they are the best.

What would you do if it starts or goes on late? Please help.me get this right.

Bang the wall. Shout shut up loudly. Repeatedly until they stop

User112 · 19/10/2021 20:04

Knock on the wall. They’ll get the point.
Pls don’t ask me how I know 🤦‍♀️

saltontoast · 19/10/2021 20:08

I wouldn't mention it to neighbours incase it becomes a regular thing. If it continues I'd bang on the wall loudly

Greydove28 · 19/10/2021 20:08

Defo bang on the wall!!

saltontoast · 19/10/2021 20:09

I meant I wouldn't mention it now but I would if it becomes a regular thing

DPotter · 19/10/2021 20:10

Do you feel brave enough to go round and knock on the front door?

If so - ask him to put a pillow between the bed frame and the wall and to keep the noise down, as you'll be scoring his partner's screaming out of 10, along all the neighbours .

If not - in the bedroom in a loud voice - say something like -
Do you think he realises she's /he's faking it?

Alan and Doris will laugh when we tell them about this tomorrow (Alan & Doris being the dad and Mum)
I'll drop around the number of that plasterer tomorrow - they need to get that wall sorted after all that banging
7 !!!

Bang on the wall AND do an exaggerated impression of the screaming so they really get the message.

Nandakanda · 19/10/2021 20:12

Make a few loud orgasm noises of your own just to illustrate the thinness of the walls.

iamtheoneandonlyyy · 19/10/2021 20:12

Shout 'she's faking it!!!!'

SpacePotato · 19/10/2021 20:12

Just shout that she's clearly faking.

I would tell his mum to ask him to keep it down as your young children don't need to hear his performance shagging.

iamtheoneandonlyyy · 19/10/2021 20:12

Or 'he' you know, whatever

BrevilleTron · 19/10/2021 20:14

I once pointed my didgeridoo (no really...genuine article) at my above neighbours flat and blew.
It worked a treat!

ImInStealthMode · 19/10/2021 20:15

I wouldn't mention it to the neighbours, their son is an adult. If he's old enough for performance sex he's old enough to be asked to keep the noise down. Go knock on the door or phone their house and tell him to pack it in?

HostessTrolley · 19/10/2021 20:17

Face your speakers to the wall and play Je t’aime or similar up loud

nocoolnamesleft · 19/10/2021 20:18

Loud applause.

CloseYourEyesAndSee · 19/10/2021 20:20

Bang on the wall and yell to shut up. I'm sure his parents would be mortified to hear this happened!

TrickorTreacle · 19/10/2021 20:20

Next time he's at it, play some death metal at full blast through the wall :D

No need to bother the good neighbours, as they're not in when it happens.

Chloemol · 19/10/2021 20:23

Knock on the door and tell then to shut up and that you will be discussing this with their parents and do that

Alternatively bang and shout on the wall,

AutumnIsTheBest · 19/10/2021 20:24

If it’s that bad, just be a grown up and knock on the door. Tell them your kids can’t get to sleep because of the screaming and is everything OK? They must know how loud they are being.

If they’re not mortified and apologetic. I’m sure they will be when you mention it to his parents.

IveGotASongThatllGetOnYNerves · 19/10/2021 20:25

I'd talk to his mum and ask her if she wouldn't mind getting him to move his bed away from the wall a bit.

She'll know what you mean.

Sleepyhungryfattyanddoc · 19/10/2021 20:25

Ah it’s just a one off
They’re out and he’s staying with them, let him enjoy himself probably the only chance he’s got for a while

If it’s still going on past 10.30 I think you can knock
Or if it becomes a regular thing

Just say to the kids that it’s their tv or something and put your own tv on loud.

I know your kids should be in bed but really 8pm isn’t outrageous to be making noise, would you knock if they were playing music loudly on a one off? I wouldn’t

Thanks you. I will bang or shout I think. Not sure about music through the wall. Don't want to upset the other neighbours on the other side!

I admire all of you that would talk about it. I don't think I can! I can't imagine the words coming out without it going wrong. I'd probably come out with an apology somewhere in my talk Grin

Wait to you hear the girl leaving, pop your rubbish out and say, oh hi, are you the screamer, she will likely be embarrassed and be far quieter next time

Tal45 · 19/10/2021 20:31

I would ring on the doorbell. They'll either just quieten down because of it or answer the door and you can say you were worried because you could hear screaming and just wanted to check everything was ok.

Pea22ches · 19/10/2021 20:37

@iamtheoneandonlyyy

Shout 'she's faking it!!!!'
Brilliant
