Neighbour mocking me?

[kularni]

I live in a semi detached and can hear my neighbour repeating what I say in a mocking tone.

This afternoon my husband was upstairs and shouted down to me, I said “what are you talking about” and then heard my neighbour say “what are you talking about” or when I laugh I can hear them repeat it in the same tone.

It’s getting boring now. Aibu?

You are unreasonable to be bellowing at each other up and down the stairs when you live in a semi.

Any housing built with materials so thin you can hear your neighbours, is of low quality. Because you can hear your neighbours.

I’m not sure if the date of build is relevant.

This

He’s trying to get you to recognise you’re too loud!

The message is that you are too noisy. There are nastier ways of delivering this information, and few would be as convincing! Best take note and pipe down.

They could shout 'SHUT THE F* UP!' But have decided to mimic you instead, hoping you get the message.

Stop shouting up and down the stairs.

Shout out "have you seen that woman come round to see Geoffrey every monday 10 mins after Linda leaves for work?"

Are you not going to acknowledge that you are too loud @kularni ? 😆

This. I childishly do this but at barely audible level with our neighbours adult daughter because she plays Call of Duty in very loud and shouty kevin-tone at the other side of our bedroom wall from 8/9pm to often 2/3am. Drives me mad so I end up almost involuntarily mocking her back. I think your neighbour is telling doing the same.

They’re telling you to pipe down or move to a detached house.

Please please do this..or something else about them

Next time it happens, knock on their door and ask them what their fucking problem is?

(Be prepared for them to tell you that you're loud and it's annoying for them)

Stop yelling . Problem solved. On a separate note it’s rude to yell all over the house. Stop doing it and your neighbour won’t be mocking you as a way of saying stop yelling. Do you not have any consideration for your yelling when you live in a terraced house? I’m with your neighbour on this one.

Perhaps something with paper thin walls where you can hear the old dear next door shouting up the stairs to her old man ....'What are you talking about?'.

You’re too loud.

YOU'RE BEING TOO LOUD, FELICIA!

Yeah, mine was built in 1889. I can't hear low tone quiet conversations but anything else I can hear very very clearly. You're being too loud.

I actually disagree with pp in that I think hearing your neighbours a handful of times a day is par for the course in terraced housing, your neighbours need to get over themselves (unless you're having whole convos shouting up and down stairs of course).

I hear my own neighbours on both sides practically every day but that's the nature of this sort of housing.

Mine was built in 1863 (in a well-heeled suburb for professionals with notions), and I can still hear my neighbour playing his nasty Wagner recordings.

Take on board that you're being too loud, OP, and you're neighbours are tired of it, and not dealing with it as tactfully as they might.

You’re probably being too loud but he is also being a dick. Why not discuss it? Do you hear him any other time? (Not just when he’s clearly mocking you).
I had the unfortunate experience of living in some low quality attached housing too. It was a new build and the joining walls must have been made of paper. Could hear the neighbours using the loo (and I don’t mean the flush) and when they had sex we could literally hear their bits slapping against each other 🤮

You are being too loud. They are repeating what you have said so that you will realize you are too loud and tone it down.
If a neighbour can make out the actual words you are saying then you're too loud. It's as simple as that.
When my neighbour has friends round I can sometimes hear voices or laughing but not the actual words they are saying.

You are shouting at your dh from downstairs. If you do this often you bother the neighbours. But they are weird going about it in this way. I would have knocked on your door and politely asked you not to shout and also asked if you were bothered by us in any way. I don't blame you for keeping on shouting since they dealt with it in this passive agressive way. Next time shout to your husband to tell him you just had the doctor who told you it was extremely contagious the illness you have. When you see neighbours smile and walk towards them for a friendly chat:).

We live in a semi and are pretty loud but so are the neighbours we are joined to so we all get on quite well! We only tend to hear them when we are being very quiet (rare) but then I can hear every word of their conversations. Can also hear the teenage lad playing video games wih his mates til early hours as his bedroom is joined to ours but I've got used to it and it no longer bothers me. So I don't agree with some pp who say you have to be very loud to be heard by neighbours. Ours don't have to be shouting for us to hear them.

They trying to get across to you that you and your husband are bloody loud and inconsiderate
