DH and the pressure washer...

Last night we had a rare child free night so I planned on having a long lie this morning because I can't remember the last time I did. DH is very much a morning person and will be up at 6am regardless to wether he has work or not but I assumed he'd just quietly take himself downstairs and watch tv or something.
8am comes and I'm woken to the sound of DH washing his car on the drive with the pressure washer. I am FUMING and the neighbours must also be, so I got up and went down to ask what the fuck he was doing. Apparently iabu to even question him as I "shouldn't just be laying in bed all day anyway". He wanted to get it done before the kids get home which I get but washing your car at 8am on a weekend is a nope surely!?

Too early.

My mum is one of these. She thinks having a lie-in is a moral failing so does loud jobs to signal her displeasure at other people.

Doesn't do it quite so much in my house since I pointed out I work for a bloody living and that's while she's pottering around art galleries or bloody Wisley.

Are you my next door neighbour, OP? The guy next door to us is known to jet wash for up to eight hours a day some weekends and it drives me crazy. Sometimes he'll be jet washing for the entire day on both Saturday and Sunday and only stops when it gets too dark to see.

I have a neighbour who loves power tools. Of any kind
I did do a WTF face when he chose his weapon of a leaf blower. It was the middle of a storm and seemed rather.. redundant
Power washer, drill, leaf blower, strimmer. His garden must just be bare concrete by now
