Loud talking outside at 8am - AIBU?

I'm up at 630am every morning for work. I walk the dogs at 730/8am. Every single morning, Saturday's and Sunday's included, a group of 4 elderly ladies take their morning walk, usually emerging at around 745am/8am. To say that they shout their conversation, is an understatement. The volume of their chat and the cackling is off the charts loud : imagine shouting as loud as you could physically manage. This is right next to multiple apartments, where many people will still be in bed (esp on the weekend). AIBU to think that this is so anti social? I am very careful not to make a peep at this time!

As an older woman I'm in awe of these 'elderly' ladies who manage to walk at exercise speed and shout at each other at the same time. They must be in very good nick, cardiac and lung-wise, to be able to do both at the same time. Hats off to them.

Heaven help us from ageist, sexist young puritans, I say. You sound like the kind of young authoritarian person who hates seeing others having a good time, OP.

Ahem. I did not say they were exercising. They are not. They are walking very slowly, but SHOUTING their conversations. I'm not young myself - 55. When I walk at this time, I am quiet!

Re a PP who suggested they may be hard of hearing - yes, maybe. In that case, go for your walk at 10am.

8sm being someone's 'middle of the day' 😆 You're really missing out on the bliss of lie ins.

I hate noisy people, regardless of age. This would make me so angry.

Sadly have lost the ability to lie in. Don’t know if it’s age or what. Absolute pain.
