The little twat next door has been blowing a whistle for the last hour

I’m really hung over and the last thing I need to hear is this little twat blowing a whistle which they can’t even blow properly.

AIBU to shout out the window to stfu ?

My daughter was given a whistle for Christmas one year and within a couple hours I’d snapped it in half and thrown it in the bin, cursing the person who bought it for her. Zero regrets. Whistles are obnoxious and anti social.

HAHAH! He has ASD and childhood apraxia of speech, but still has boundaries and has to respect other people!

I've tried to teach him that yes he does have different needs but the world won't change specifically for this, so he has to learn to manage the feelings in public then in his safe space can let it all out. It's sad that the world will never fully be able to accommodate him but I have to give him the tools to do it himself and self regulate!

Just don’t call him a fat cunt.

It's unacceptable to blow the whistle under these circumstances, and it's also unacceptable for you to use misogynistic language.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha

BrewANDbikki · 14/06/2025 11:29

Or water plants with a hose pipe, ‘accidentally’ squirting them. 🤣 (joking)

Twat can be male or female.

Spirallingdownwards · 14/06/2025 11:33

How old is the little twat? Calculate what time they may feasibly go to bed and then blow your own whistle for an hour at that tine from your garden.

The advice on here when neighbours are noisy the night before due to even just chatter outside on a warm evening is to unleash noisy kids the next morning. So if it isn't payback then you must be allowed your payback this evening surely.

What does the temperature have to do with it? It would be an annoying thing to do even if it was snowing.

Obviously because you’d need to have your windows open?

Call him a little fat c*nt 🤔😀. It apparently works a treat 😂😂 (IYKYK) 😉

Oops, snap! Only I posted later.

mangonut · 14/06/2025 11:42

Do the same at bed time.

Yes that’s been pointed out quite a few times 😁, and I acknowledged that I hadn’t even thought of that. I live somewhere that most people have aircon so we rarely open windows in the summer, too hot!

Is ‘bellend’ ok?

EmeraldShamrock000 · 14/06/2025 11:51

Yanbu. I love my headphones. I can only just hear my own children.

mangonut · 14/06/2025 11:52

I can see from your other racist thread that you have already started drinking, despite you being hungover. Should be no problem for you to tell that kid to shut up,

Cherrysoup · 14/06/2025 11:52

Another who can’t understand why the parents tolerate it. We once went round to the neighbour to ask that they please god stop their youngster (7/8?) screaming in the garden literally ALL day. Apparently she did it indoors too. I couldn’t understand how they just ignored her. She’s now an adult, seems perfectly lovely. Kids playing makes me smile, endless screaming is a bit much.

What on earth? Who’s the twat now OP? Yeah parents of kids with a diagnosis are all shit parents? I was sympathetic to you up until now but not any more.

SortthisoutpleaseJesus · 14/06/2025 12:42

Having worked 3 night shifts this week I would be ramming that whistle where the sun doesn’t shine if the selfish imbecile was doing that on my day off

Balloonhearts · 14/06/2025 13:01

Revenge is best served cold. Wait till tonight. Buy a horn and a ghost facemask. Under cover of darkness creep to his bedroom window while he's asleep. Tape the mask to his window. Blow the horn as loud as you can and as long as you can. Enjoy the screaming and the knowledge that his parents will have him sleeping in with them until he is 16.

OffOnOurHols · 14/06/2025 13:16

It depends how you got hung over in the first place. If you had people round and had music blaring out of your open window at 2am, I would be giving my children whistles to blow at 7am too.

EveryOtherNameTaken · 14/06/2025 13:24

I feel your pain. I'm hungover too today. Can't imaging adding a whistle 😅

Septembiosis · 14/06/2025 14:19

Being hung over is kind of your own fault, unless someone was forcing alcohol down your throat last night. Not unreasonable to be annoyed by annoying sounds, though. You could ask the child or his/her parent if they could take a break from the whistle or you could take yourself off somewhere else for a while. Or put on some soft music with earbuds or similar to dull the sound.
