We live in a very small, two up two down, back to back terrace house. Being surrounded on three sides means we can often hear the neighbours - their coughing, love making, arguments, tv etc. It doesn't bother me unduly - it's my opinion that, within reason, you can't ask people to tiptoe round their own home.
Friend who lives in a big detached house came to stay. In the middle of the night she woke me up to say she couldn't sleep because of the neighbour's music. It's true - they do play music at night - but again, I just consider it one of those things. They are a young couple and it was Saturday night around midnight so not unduly late. I told her they'd probably turn it off soon. She said that wasn't good enough and that I was to go round there and demand they turn it down.
I refsused. These are my neighbours with whom I hope to maintain a civil relationship and the noise wasn't that bad. Friend then says if I won't then she will go and spend the night in a hotel, which she promptly did!
I called her in the morning but she did not answer and we have not spoken since. Should I have done as she asked?
