Beating a rug on balcony

[Bellabellab]

On second floor, opposite another residential building with ground floor terrace about 15 metres away.
London if it makes a difference

not brave enough to say which side I am on as no idea which way this will go, but for voting purposes:
YABU is that beating the rug is unreasonable
YANBU is that beating the rug is not unreasonable

I think it depends on the time of day, whether anyone is nearby or on the terrace at the time or people have washing outside.

A rug is hardly going to have that much dust compared to London air, once it has dissipated/settled. It would be pretty antisocial to do it when people are around though.

Beat away! I occasionally beat mine like a Greek yiayia and get embarrassed by the cat hair flying off in all directions. Then my neighbours start getting concerned about my welfare and wonder why the hell I'm cleaning anything 😁
