To be furious at being woken at 6 every. Fucking. Morning

[Member786488]

I live opposite a window cleaner.
it’s summer so windows are open.
Every morning his mate arrives at 6.00am and they have a very fucking loud conversation in the road before driving off to work about where the jobs are today, blah blah.

they wake me and possibly other neighbours
up every single day.

why can’t people be more considerate???

how have you asked neighbours nicely to STFU?

Yeah, tbf, when I hear noise outside at 6am I think "that's people off to work", what else would it be? I wouldn't think 6am is too early for the morning hustle and bustle to begin. You can have a word but I think people are entitled to exist.

Well it is regular (everyday) and prolonged (its not just 'Hi' they are discussing the whole day long enough to wake and keep everyone awake).

It it was one time and one short noise OP obviously wouldn't be complaining.

😆 thanks v much, some of these responses did make me laugh… esp @Panko bellowing. I think tasb@Unexpectedlysinglemum suggests, I’ll try the chocolates before environmental health, and take it from there.
he’s not vindictive, just a bit of an idiot, so the carrot approach might work. It’ll be winter soon anyway…

Exactly

Really?

Those who work from home and start at 9?

Those who work shifts?

Those who work in hospitality?

@LongDarkTeatime if I went out without the dressing gown it would almost definitely work! 😉

I live on a country road and the front of our house provides a perfect place for groups of early morning weekend cyclists to pull in and bellow at each other for a few minutes.

I admit that it's a lot easier to tell people to have some consideration and shut the fuck up when you're underneath someone's bedroom window, when they're not your actual neighbours.

The law says you should not be making noise between 11pm and 7am.

Only for dog walkers and psychopaths🙄

Of course it’s not unreasonable to be up and leaving your home at 6 am for work. It’s that these two gentleman shout to each other every morning with raised voices discussing what they’ll be doing. Most people off to work don’t do that, at most you’ll hear their car engine etc

Off to work is fine, standing around chatting, or letting your engine running clearly is not.

As most of the reasonable people on this thread have disagreed with you, do you understand 6am is inconsiderate?

Off topic, but what time are the window cleaners getting up that they’re ready to head to work at 6am?? 😬

YANBU to be upset at being woken at 6 every morning. It drives me bananas waking up before I’m ready to.

I dont think it's unreasonable to have a chat at 6am and I do expect outside noises to begin from that time. However I would expect people to be considerate at that hour

Just go over and tell him it wakes you up. He probably doesnt know he's being so loud. I don't think more drastic action is needed till you've actually spoken to him

It’s a reasonable time to wake up, it’s not reasonable to have a loud conversation in the street at that time, anymore then it would be for me to do the same at midnight when the most people will be trying to sleep.
People need to be considerate of their neighbours, they should have to be buying ear plugs and shutting windows because of thoughtless idiots.

should not

In the winter some people round here have to get up to defrost their cars

😂
Was thinking of this cos neighbour has a new dog they shut out alone in garden crying from 6am. Was thinking of of knocking on door at 6am and inviting myself in for breakkie ‘seeing as I’m awake’ 😉 (or helping dog escape to us 😉)
BUT if I went without dressing gown it’d be a horror scene 😂 Think you’re younger than me 😂

I live in flats, and there's this guy who leaves for work at 6am every day. He USED to have a very annoying habit of turning his car on, and just sitting there for ages. And it wasn't a quiet car, it's an old noisy banger.
I suspect someone had a word, because now he just turns it on and goes.

@LongDarkTeatime 😆definitely not … I was thinking if I turned up in my nightie they really wouldn’t want to hang around 😆😆

Which would be classed as a necessity, chatting in the street isn’t.
Presumably windows would also be closed during a cold snap.
Not sure why you’re defending someone’s right to cause unnecessary disturbance to a neighbour, at an unreasonable hour.

Unless you say something it’s never going to change

Yabu to not go and just ask them to be quieter! I had the same problem with a bakery at 5.30am and asked them to keep it down. It worked.

No excuse for even getting up this early let alone being outside shouting your mouth off.

Get back to bed people of the early dawn!

Honestly I think people are so preoccupied they just do not think and speaking to them or making it obvious to them in some way is literally the only way because they are not going to suddenly have a dawning realisation out of nowhere.

You could try loudly slamming your window shit to see if that gets the message across but if not, you will have to say something.

When DS was a toddler, he wasn't a good sleeper and he would come into my bed in the early hours and just as I was drifting back off to catch a couple of hours catch-up sleep some bloke would pull up right outside my bedroom window at 6am to pick up his mate with his windows down and radio BLARING. I lived on the ground floor so when I say right outside my bedroom window I mean like a few feet away from my head 😂
I went out there one morning in my PJs with DS on him hip and it only took him seeing me for him to realise, turn it off, and never do it again.
I dint understand how someone can't see a window right next to them and think hmmm maybe someone lives there. But people are thick 🤷‍♀️
