Neighbours pissed off and I am sure it is racist, AIBU to refuse to sign their petition?

[PyongyangKipperbang]

New neighbours moved in to a rented house over the road from about 10 weeks ago. They have had three get togethers. One was obviously a housewarming, no loud music, no particularly loud "talking" etc, just mates over for a few beers, I didnt even notice until I went out to go to the shop and saw more than usual people there, all done and dusted (or inside) by 9pm. Following weekend the weather was lovely so they had a BBQ and invited a few friends, again very low key.

Today they had a biggish event with a hog roast, marquee etc, it was loud this afternoon but by about half 8 there was nothing. Went out about 10 to get something out of the car and there were no lights on outside, no noise that would indicate and loud house party, nothing. I only looked because I was expecting the party to still be going and it wasnt.

Just (about half an hour ago) had an invitation to petition the council to get them removed due to noise nuisance, I declined. The people who;s party it was are all gone and quiet, house is in darkness I have just looked!

They are eastern european as evidenced by the music and given some of the comments on the village FB group, I suspect that this is the biggest issue. Talk about "them" and "Their type". Also some saying it has been every weekend, it really hasnt!

I have already had some shit about it, although the one saying "You obviously havent lived here very long" was fun, when I said I have lived here 25 years!

I think some of your village is on this site Op . 7% think yabu ?

I've just had a thought OP.....maybe it's not so much the noise as the people themselves. Are your new neighbours friendly, nice people or do they go oug of their way yo avoid being friendly?

We have neighbours who are really rude and unfriendly for no apparent reason and as a result no one likes them. He especially behaves like a sullen teenager towards any attempt at even saying hello in the street.

If you are friendly and get on with your neighbours then lots of things, like the odd bit of loud music can be over looked 🙂

Maybe this is the issue?

Well if you think being a decent neighbour, not upsetting other people by disturbing their peaceful environment and having consideration for others is "crazy" I hope your own neighbours are similarly selfish. Then you'll all get on famously.

It hasn’t bothered you, and you’re entitled to feel that way. But clearly it’s bothered some people, who are also entitled to feel the way they do. Obviously you will always have a minority of people who have their own agenda, but there will also be some that genuinely don’t want to be disturbed when trying to enjoy quiet enjoyment of their own home, especially if it appears that it’s going to be a regular thing. Doesn’t matter that it’s during the day instead of the night time. I have neighbours that have the odd bbq and get together, and it doesn’t bother me as it’s usually just once a month over the summer. But it would piss me off if every week.

@IsadoraQuagmire if you think living next door to someone and expecting it to be quiet on london because you can't afford a detached house is ok, then go but a caravan in a field?

Well

Hence you're unhappy and I'm living my life, with a home, a garden, friends, socialising at home.

Enjoy your headphones, get decent ones.

Because I'm making reasonable noise and you are totally u reasonable.

@IsadoraQuagmire it's ok for you to upset me though?

By restricting my enjoyment of my home?

Typical "woe is me attitude"

Deal with your issues, don't expect me to deal with them, because they're not mine

Go and meet them.

Sounds like you'd get a great social life from it.

I live a hog roast

Some Bulgarians moved next to my dad, and had noisy barbecues, whenever the weather allowed.

It never bothered him, but they always used to knock and give him some home made food and wine - he was quite happy to try all this foreign food and wine.🙂

You were right the first time, a wet and cold bloody summer!

Gosh, speak English. You're unintelligible.

@IsadoraQuagmire I think you understand and I won't SHOUT! Because you don't like it!

I'll entertain my friends, family and have fun enjoying MY home.

You carry on wanting something you can't have and I suggest you keep your issues to yourself, because your neighbours don't care at all!

🥳🍾🎉

You should really brush up on your comprehension skills. I didn't say I had noisy neighbours because I don't. I said I hated loud noise.
(You sound extremely immature incidentally, unless you're about 13, which I doubt, you have a very odd way of expressing yourself)

A 'few friends" isn't a party

@IsadoraQuagmire you sound like a total fun sponge......

"I don't like loud noise" but don't say I should live away from it, because I can't...

Your problem, not anyone else's!

I'm not 13 and don't put up with nonsense people saying "I don't like loud noises, so you must respect my wishes"

Nope, I'll live my life, being respectful but not taking notice of that nonsense.

Again. Comprehension skills. I was referring to the many previous threads on the subject. No connection to my circumstances. Now do stop quoting me every 5 minutes, I'm totally uninterested in you, but you appear to be strangely obsessed with me. 😂

I would attempt to balance it out by writing to the council to say that you've heard that a complaint has been lodged, that it's unfounded, and that you believe that racism is involved.

I hate other people's noise, but even I would find this petition unpleasant and unfair.

@IsadoraQuagmire you stop quoting me, then we'll be just fine!

I hadn't quoted you for hours.... then you came on quoting me, then you play the "victim"!

So don't quote me again?

Thanks for all the replies. Just looked and the post has been deleted.

Funny that.....

I am sure, on the basis of the comments that it had a lot to do with racism as there are never comments when there are other genuinely late and loud parties.

They aren’t.
Stop arguing with them.
You’ve embarrassed yourself over and over again.

Since this is an old thread you've inexplicably dragged up, I had no idea what you were whinging about. However, with a quick scan of it , I can affirm that, as usual, I'm right about everything (and have never "embarrassed myself" as I'm always perfectly delighted with both myself and all my opinions) So do bore off. I still loathe noisy, antisocial people and your tedious objections are irrelevant.

Oh dear if this is all they have to worry about they must lead incredibly dull lives.

So, how would knowing help with the noise issue? You can’t expect other people to tiptoe around you because you are autistic and don’t like noise?

Don't sign it. Imagine if the police get involved and you are one of the 'racists'
