I j ust want to go round and punch the fucking ignorant twats.

They spent 9 months renovating before moving in - after work and at weekends there be drilling/sanding/hammering until 10 at night

Now they've moved in its fucking music

ARGH they are doing my fucking head in! DH is upstaris AGAIN watching a DVD so he doesn't have to listen to them

I've been round a few times to ask them to turn int down, and they do, but I don't want to seem like a moaning minnie! I gave them wine and a card when they moved in and again on her birthday, to show that I'm FUCKING NICE

If it continues I may just blow my top and NastyG will appear

Its FUCKING RUDE AND THOUGHTLESS you CUNTS

You've been nice and reasonable, now you have to say "you are being unreasonably noisy and I am being driven to insanity. If it continues I will no option but to smash your car up you will then discover how fucking unreasonable I can be too. I'm sure we understand each other. Good day to you".

expat - I just assumed that because I am a nice person who always thinks of others and they were complete and utter bast*rds that the voodoo would not come back to me.

It wasn't very heavy, maybe didn't even count as voodoo as I had none of their hair or anything - I just drew caricatures of them and stuck pins in them while wishing them gone. Not many months later they left.

MrsMuddle - the business is called Studio Kitchen and is based in Round Rock, TX, as suburb of Austin.

It was started up by Laura and Daniel Bezden.

We had neighbours like this. We lived in a terraced house and our back gardens were all together too. During the day they had music blaring out, the only places you couldn't hear their music was the bathroom and the stairs, every other room had adjoining walls to theirs. When I had dd the noise was dreadful, I was desperate for sleep as I was feeding on demand and at one point I screamed at the wall "shut the fuck up you stupid people! I've just had a baby and I want some fucking sleep!" It didn't make any difference.

During the summer we couldn't sit in our garden and enjoy it as they'd have their music blaring out, even if they weren't in the garden!

It came to a head one day when we invited friends over for a BBQ. We asked them to turn their music down just whilst we had our BBQ. They did do, but we were half an our late with the BBQ so they turned it up again. We went round and they said they'd turned it down and gave us half an hour so what were we complaining about? They also said that if we didn't like noise then we shouldn't have chosen to live in a terraced house! I said that if they liked their bloody noise so much they should live in a detached as normal people would have consideration for their neighbours.

We moved in the end. I couldn't enjoy the house at all. The music was all day every day and they'd have parties in the evening that went on and on and on. We couldn't have the kids bedroom window open because they'd hear all the obsenities.

So I've no answer for you I'm afraid, but you do have my sympathy.

dirtylittlepunk · 10/05/2008 15:05

i totally sympathize, my neighbours are currently blasting out scooter, (d)h is trying to drown it out by blasting fucking cascada
the kids are all in the garden happily dancing (to which noise i dont know)
i have my ipod in so i now dont care

expatinscotland · 10/05/2008 15:08

we also had a neighbour from hell who blasted rap music at all hours - had police called on them several times by other neighbours in the wee hours of the morning.

and the downstairs psycho who blasted and tried to sing karoke tunes every single minute he was not at work, and as he was a hospital porter he worked a bunch of odd shifts.

they made our lives a nightmare and like i said, we used a credit card to get out of there.

bass and loud music makes me want to get medieval.

shouldbeworking · 10/05/2008 15:11

We had neighbours with an extremely noisy teenage ds who insisted on playing very loud dance/rave music. Dh once went round in his underwear at 3am to tell him to turn it down....Don't think poor lad has got over the sight of very irate dh in his underpants .

Rhubarb · 10/05/2008 15:12

MamaG, if you report them, it could have been any of your neighbours iyswim. Those kinds of people will only take notice of authority.

Have a word with your other neighbours and see if it pisses them off too, collectively you have more power. Then get a letter together signed by all your neighbours, that way no one person gets the blame and they get the message that actually, they are pissing off quite a few people.

Quattrocento · 10/05/2008 15:12

My sympathies

  1. Talk to them. If no joy then
  2. Get them prosecuted

Moving is okay if you feel you should pay through the nose for other people's selfishness

'We've moved twice and bakrupted ourselves in the process to get away from noisy neighbours. They didn't give a shit and told us to fuck off when we asked them to turn it down. EH did bugger all, as did the police.'

yep, we've been there, too.

seriously, we whacked about £2000 on a credit card to get away from asshole neighbours who were aggressive and abusive and no one really gives a toss.

i don't blame you for wanting to move, mamag.

i've lived in tents and cars and at least in such places you can get away and get some peace.

We came home from shopping at 3pm to find the house literally vibrating to the booming noise from next door. Looks like mother and father have gone out leaving 17 yo DS with girlfriend and mate sitting in the garden fing and blinding.

It is the sort of "music" that if it comes on my car radio I turn it straight off, so to have it forced on us is really unpleasant. When
I went out to put the washing out the noise actually hurt my ears, it's that loud.

Our council website says they deal with noise complaints in 3 working days The neighbouring council come straight out and confiscate equipment.

Rhubarb · 10/05/2008 16:47

Call the fuzz then.

MamaG · 10/05/2008 17:01

I came back from the shop today and he was in the front yard - said "about last night ..."

Basically said that they didn't feel they should have to whisper and have their music on really quietly, it was Friday night and it wasn't a party, they just had friends round for a meal - I said it was very noisy for us and perhaps they should come in and listen. I said I didn't want to fall out with them, but would appreciate some consideration - even threw in that I'm pg and couldn't cope wiht the stress (!)

He said "well, we never hear any noise from you"

I said no, thats because we don't make loads of noise and don't let the kids screech the house down as we are CONSIDERATE NEIGHBOURS but I think he's a bit fucking thick to get it.

I really don't think I got anywhere. I got hte impression that he thought I was being unreasonable to moan! HE said "it was only 10 o'clock" YES AND WE'VE GOT TWO CHILDREN

Thanks, Expat. I'll have a look, and if I get round to doing something about it, I'll come and do it for you free of charge!

puffling · 10/05/2008 17:30

mow the lawn at 6 am

expatinscotland · 10/05/2008 17:36

i'd mow the lawn at 6AM, put the kids out at 8.

fuckers.

god, i fucking HATE other peoples' music and neighbours just piss me off when they're right next wall over.

thanks for the reminder.

i'll put this thread on watch and every time my lips turn blue in this freezing cold house i'll remember just how lucky we are.

creepykid · 10/05/2008 17:43

God my neighbours have rigged their speakers in a fucking TREE in their garden, so it's actually nearer my house than theirs - and they're in their house, and we've been blasted with the worst screamy rock music I've ever heard.

I want to hurt them.
