To think that people don't give a shit about their neighbours any more

[Floofydawg]

Beautiful sunny Sunday here which is being ruined by neighbor's very loud building work which has been going on all weekend. Some kind of noisy fucking grinder thing coupled with music blasting out from a radio. Am so irritated. Aren't there rules around this kind of stuff on a weekend?

Of course the neighbor having the work done has fucked off out so that they don't have to listen to it.

@Floofydawg To be honest, if I was having building work done on my house and the builder told me they were coming over on a Sunday I would probably just presume it was allowed, as why else would the builder suggest coming then if it wasn’t? I would assume the builder would know as it’s their industry. Also if the neighbour is out then the music isn’t theirs is it?

Anyway, anonymously venting about it on MN may make you feel slightly better in the short term (or may rile you even more) but it almost certainly won’t change anything. Why don’t you go over and knock on the door and politely ask them to turn the music down at least? And visit the neighbour when they return and inform them that they may not be permitted to have work done on a Sunday, so in future can they make sure this doesn’t happen?

To be honest OP, everyone is a potential CF! 😂

Speak for yourself - i care about my neighbours and wouldn’t do this.

I think neighbours ARE less considerate now. People's selfishness seems to be going through the roof.

People seem to be locked in their own worlds and care less about others around them - anybody who are not family or friends are "invisible". Eg. in an empty train carriage a young woman sat directly in front of me and turned on some videos to listen to out loud. I think older people tend to have more consideration for neighbours - though I know this is a generalisation.
