Too noisy …

80 replies

Beansprout30 · 01/08/2023 00:28

Im on a family holiday,
me, kids, reluctant hubby and my mother in Cornwall. Worked hard all year for this break, me and mum like to wrap up for the great British summer and sit outside for a drink and a chat and some CF has just ‘sssh’ us at 11.15, some guy trying to sleep. Are we being unreasonable?! No music, just a mum and daughter chat outside our house after a crazy day with the kids ……

Are you on a holiday park, or staying in an airb'n'b/similar?

PriamFarrl · 01/08/2023 00:35

And that ‘cf’ has most likely got to get up in the morning and go to work if you are in a holiday cottage. After 11 take it inside. Voices carry more than you might think.

My neighbours often wake me up saying goodbye to visitors. Talking is very disturbing. So, yes, you are probably being U to be talking outside so late.

XenoBitch · 01/08/2023 00:37

YABU in that the only CF is you. If you need to chat outside, do it earlier.

Thelastofbus · 01/08/2023 00:38

If somebody asks you to be quiet after 11:00 at night, you bloody well oblige! It’s a lovely idea to be sat outside chatting under the stars, but it’s not fair if it is keeping someone else awake,

Onehappymam · 01/08/2023 00:41

I live in a row of 5 cottages. Ours is the only one that isn’t a holiday rental. Every night is a holiday for them, but not for me. Be considerate of those around you.

GetInTheBinThenGetInTheSea · 01/08/2023 00:52

Yeah, you're being unreasonable. Keeping people awake so you can have a chat isn't alright.

NoisePolice5 · 01/08/2023 02:53

Or if it’s another family who have ‘worked hard this year for their break’ and want some peace and quiet … your needs/wants don’t trump theirs.

Onthebrink87 · 01/08/2023 03:07

YABU 🤦‍♀️

nalabae · 01/08/2023 03:13

I'm with everyone else you're unreasonable

jackstini · 01/08/2023 03:17

Yabu.
Between 11pm and 7am you keep it quiet

Annaishere · 01/08/2023 03:24

YANBU. If I want to sleep during the day I can’t expect the world to accommodate me. Night sleepers shouldn’t either

iPreferBooks · 01/08/2023 03:58

YABVU...

yogasaurus · 01/08/2023 04:05

Yabu.

yogasaurus · 01/08/2023 04:06

And how hard you’ve saved is completely irrelevant

WandaWonder · 01/08/2023 04:13

Why does saving money mean you can be noisy after 11pm? there is not enough letters to say unbelievably rude this is to assume you being noisy outranks anything else

HappiDaze · 01/08/2023 04:20

Yes YABVU

Why can't people understand how their voices, no matter how quiet you think you are, travel in the dead of night when it's completely silent and on a weeknight when loads of people have to work.

He left it till after 11pm being the cut off time for noise

HappiDaze · 01/08/2023 04:21

Go inside people where no one else has to listen to your boring conversation.

We just want to sleep

HappiDaze · 01/08/2023 04:26

You mentioned a crazy day with kids

Was this noisy chaos also in around the house

Marvellous for those WFH especially those next to AirB&B lets or who get home after work wanting a bit of peace and quiet only for the holiday let next door getting their money worth's

What a lucky man your temporary neighbour is

OctopusWave · 01/08/2023 04:27

You are definitely unreasonable

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 01/08/2023 04:39

YABU obviously. Just go inside and carry on your conversation.

Zanatdy · 01/08/2023 04:47

11.15 yes, go inside if you must chat at that time. Might not be late for you but for many it is

I would go bonkers. You poor thing.

readbooksdrinktea · 01/08/2023 05:10

I'm surprised you have to ask but since you did: the cheeky fucker is you.

readingismycardio · 01/08/2023 05:25

The CF is you.
