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

You are making yourself look very silly
In your not at all humble opinion, shared by all your "clever" pile on pals.

The question was me attempting to understand since it wasn't clear to me if van and truck were being used as synonyms. I haven't heard the term before, I don't know how much clearer I can make it or why there's been such a daft pile on about it.

You should Google the ice cream van wars

Now, I need to know if the ice cream van/truck/lorry/automobile/vehicle is selling drugs or not. Please can the OP pop out and check?

I'll be waiting with my popcorn.

Do you people not have Zapp/Getir/Gorilla etc?

This is a bit of an urban myth.

nope. When I was at Uni, I lived in a massive halls of residence complex, housing about 2,000 students. The ice cream van that visited 100% sold drugs. It did also sell some ice cream but mainly drugs.

Well thanks so much for all the responses! Nice to know I’m not the only one with ice cream van problems.

I have to say I do use truck/van synonymously 😂 I must watch too much tv!

I think I’m going to talk to him 🙈 and just say could he refrain after 7pm or turn it down. Hopefully he’ll twig that I know the rules. I guess if it continues I’ll just report him….but that does feel a bit killjoy 🙈

I was feeling a bit fed up last night but this thread has given me a giggle thank you 🙏🏼

Thanks for the straightforward answer.

Never heard of these, checked and no, not in my area. We also don't have Uber or Lyft and only got deliveroo a couple of years ago

Love your thinking re the cheese and wine 🍷 truck / van!

more ice cream van drug pushers.

here you go 😁

But that doesn't answer in the context of this thread - which OP has very kindly and decently, and with rancour or personal abuse, now done.

With should be without of course

I'd like my neighbourhood cheese and wine truck to blast out a bit of Miles Davis.

My beer and crisps van can play The Jesus and Mary Chain.

@TigerLilyTail im going to have my binoculars at the window next time he comes late and get hubby to rock the baby 😂

😂

OP used both ice cream truck and ice cream van in her post. Did you think she was referring to TWO different vehicles? of course you didn’t

I hope you get them soon. Last minute wine/gin/cheese/condoms/loo roll/bread/whatever chef's kiss

Thanks for the advice/abuse - you are incorrect.

Amazing how you know "the truth" by apparently inhabiting my head.
