To think new neighbour is a potential CF

[TheDogsGoneMad]

^^
He woke us at 8.24 am moving his lawn. Is that normal?
AIBU to think that’s too early? We’re three terraced houses so you can’t escape some noise but 8.24 on a bank holiday!?

He’s been annoying since they moved in so i think I’m just annoyed at him.

8.30am is totally fine. YABU
Also all the comments saying "they don't work/work from home. Why can't they do it another time etc" - how on earth do you know the demands other people have on their time? I work from home. The operative word being work - my working day is tied up the same way as everyone else's.

I think 9am on a Sunday or Bank Holiday.

8.30 on a Saturday.

Your council dictate how people spend their bank holiday? How bizarre!

Too early for me, I would wait until at least 9.30 before I hoover or mow. Perhaps us peace seekers should move to Germany 🤫

The commonly agreed upon quiet hours in Germany (Ruhezeit time period) are from 10pm and 6 or 7am on weekdays and the entire day on Sundays, although there can be some exceptions in different cities or if your landlord imposes other rules as well. Ruhezeit also applies to all public holidays for the entire day.

For all you early birds, it’s UTTERLY INCONSIDERATE to mow your bloody lawn at 8.30.

Only on here would you read about a "Bank Holiday lawn mower".

The 8am lawn mowing wouldn't bother me.

But yes - he clearly is a twat and you have every right to be annoyed with him in general.

I'm actually that he thinks his partner can have your parking space just because she's getting a car.

Yes 8.24 is too early, I think out of courtesy 9am or later. We have a neighbour that uses power tools any time after 6am and he has the cheek to remark that my dog barks. Stop the bloody noisy dawn diy and you won’t set my dog off mate, difference is that I hush my dog up whilst he continues to wake the neighbours.I’m up at 6 but like my cuppa in peace.😬

Your shouty capitals don't make your opinion more valid

has decided we’ll have to move our car when his wife/girlfriend gets hers (car is parked in our own space)

Tell us more about this. Always lead with the parking issue, they are much more exciting than lawn mowing issues.

YANBU

Doing noisy activities before 10am on a Sunday or bank holiday is inconsiderate.

Some people think just because they’re up, everyone else should be too.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Yes clearly OP missed the memo about the excitement of parking threads .

Oh and OP - they also must be accompanied by a diagram!

Apart from lawn mowing being quite a pleasant sound, who's going to still be sleeping at 0824h?!
A rando teenager who'll be wearing headphones anyway?

It is inconsiderate and I think you should wait until after 9am to do noisy garden work. Its an unwritten rule in my neighbourhood which everyone adheres to, thankfully

😂

Yes, OP, you’ll win us over with an illustrated parking thread!

Oh don’t be silly, loads of adults are still asleep at that time!

Mowing the lawn at 8.30 wouldn’t bother me at all. This morning neighbours have been going out for runs, dog walks, chats from about 7.30 on.

I'd imagine it's some poxy little village council imposing rules like that, that are uneforceable.

I hate other people's noise but a lot more when it's before 9am. Mowing is annoying, what is the worst that can happen with letting the grass grow a bit?

I think it's selfish and early. I don't really think the behaviour is a cheeky fucker behaviour though. The only thing from your list of say is cf is the expectation of moving the car. The other things are just annoying but not what a cf is in my view.

@Mikimoto people that were working Sunday late shift!

I don't think it's too early. And the world has changed. Not everyone has Bank Holidays or works 8-5 Monday to Friday.

Everyone in my house is still sleeping and only one is a teenager
DH wouldn’t even be awake at that time on a weekday, never mind a bank holiday.

CF would be if he woke you up to borrow your lawnmower. This wouldn't bother me.

Way too early for a bank holiday or weekend.
