AIBU ice cream truck

[Hesalwaysplayinggolf]

So we live on a quiet residential road.
My daughter goes to bed at 7pm every night.
3-4 nights a week an ice cream van drives and parks down our road blaring his ice cream truck music. This varies in timing but can be as late as 8pm. Usually between 7-8pm.
This wakes my daughter every time and she takes ages to resettle. She’s genuinely scared.

AIBU to talk to the ice cream man about this?
My husband thinks I’m ridiculous. I think it’s a mickey take to be blaring loud music at 8pm.

We have her window closed and white noise in her room but it still wakes her. I know I could put her to bed once he’s been but he doesn’t come every night so it’s hard to know and she is tired by 7pm.

Fir example tonight dd went to bed at 7pm, I sat down to eat at 7.45 and by 7.50pm he had woken her up. Just got her back down 30mins later.

YABU - Put up with it he’s just earning his living
YANBU - This would annoy me too

I think because if you live in the UK and watch so much American tv/ youtube/other media that you start speaking American English you need to cut down and go out for some fresh air instead ;)

I love this idea, how about something like 'Mr Brightside' as that always makes me want wine and snacks?

The theme from Allo Allo.

Report to the Licensing department at your location Council, they will be his licensing authority and will likely have a word about his operating hours.

oh do fuck off! My child is 5 and watches the occasional American show and the odd word slips out doesn’t mean she’s sat watching it 24/7 seriously piss off and get out and get a life yourself

people that question the way other people speak, simply because it's different to what they know, are so odd. you come across as ignorant.

Literally read my post we was in the park till 8pm the other day we get out plenty thanks! Kids hear something being something else and call it that too, I’m not sad enough like some posters on here to actually care enough to correct it

yes, because the English-speaking world is made up just of either Brits or Americans 🙄

Our ice cream van plays Colonel Bogey, hence the ice cream man being known locally as ‘Hitler’. I remember him from school, and knowing what his hygiene was like then, only ever buy wrapped ice creams from him. I gather that he does other sorts of wrapped goods too, on his late-evening, non-Bogeying runs.

this seems to happen when the van has finished making their rounds at the local parks and nicer area and then drives home stopping at the less affluent areas for some last sales - correct me if I am wrong.
Lived in a 'nicer area' and had to move after divorce and being priced out to be able to afford staying there and have observed this from same ice cream van that used to be in our street in a 'normal' afternoon time frame to now 8pm.

I never imagined there would be so much arguing on a thread about ice cream vans/trucks😂

@daimbarsatemydogsbone is 'not being disingenuous'

I live on a fairly busy road and no ice cream vans ever stop here which is a shame cos I used to be quite partial to a double 99. As a kid growing up on a council estate we had the Alpine pop lorry that came once a fortnight , a bread and cake van that came every day and two different ice cream vans - one was a Mr Whippy. Happy days!

Bet it's selling drugs. I wondered about a late ice cream can near an old house I lived at. When it still came in the snow I finically cottoned on to it selling drugs. Asked a local bobby if I was right and he just pulled out his notebook and asked which street. They knew all about him.

The really big ones are called Artic Lorries! 😁

What's really amazing about this is the OP said it was an ice cream van in the first post. She did say truck too but she used both terms so the faux confusion about what she possibly could have meant is even sillier than it usually is.

I have explained myself extensively - sadly some people are determined to make accusations on the basis of zero evidence.

For people who can't tell the difference between expressing an opinion and asking a question - you are beyond help.

It's not faux confusion - it was genuine and accentuated by the confusing use of both terms in the OP.

Ahem - at the risk of further accusations, I do know that those are called "semis" (short for semi trailer) in the USA where they probably wouldn't recognise the term artic (short for articulated lorry).
I hadn't heard "truck" for an Ice Cream purveying vehicle before.

Complain to Environmental Health, it really is unacceptable and Id be furious. My 7 year old would be in bed by then

"Semis" are a completely different thing where I live! 😂
