Its far too late (after 10pm) and I have to be up for work early in the morning. Some people are so selfish.

Bloody hell, has he got floodlights in his garden?? It's dark here.

One of mine is currently drilling something into the side of his house. I know not what.
Still light here so I don't hold out much hope of him stopping in the next half hour.

Yourownpersonaljesus · 24/06/2025 22:11

No floodlights @OldWomanInACardigan but it's his front garden so there's street lights.

Who on Earth mows their lawn at 10pm?! It’s dark for crying out loud 😂

Dark? So jealous! It's still bright here!

Although I kind of get it I feel the same way about my neighbours who like to sit in the garden with music and the fire pit on a night or the other side who starts woodworking at 8am. At least the lawn will be over soon 😂

Yourownpersonaljesus · 24/06/2025 22:17

It's stopped. Night all.

I nearly started an post about my next door but one neighbour doing this on Friday! The back at 9.30pm and the front at 10pm! Luckily for her DS was shattered from sports day and it didn’t wake him! I just don’t get it 🤷🏻‍♀️

Guavafish1 · 24/06/2025 22:18

they have until 11pm

Very inconsiderate though. Young kids would definitey be in bed at this time and most people would have their windows open in this weather.

Agreed. So many people have a 'f you Jack, I'm alright' attitude. Inconsiderate bum holes!

With you on this one.

Not considerate at all but at least you know its not going to last, unlike the music banging out till all hours, or starting at stupid o'clock, as my neighbours do.

TheWibble · 24/06/2025 22:29

You have my sympathy, as my neighbour did this last week. I had an utter nightmare getting dd to bed. Then 3 minutes after I'd finally left her room, next door start mowing the lawn at 9pm on a weekday evening. DD6 was immediately downstairs, complaining that she wouldn't be able to sleep because of the noise. I could've screamed tbh.

TY78910 · 24/06/2025 22:43

Fascinating!! Someone posted about kids out at 10pm in the garden and it being annoying and 99% of the posters said YABU, Scrooge, leave the kids alone. But MOWING?! HOW DARE YOU!

mariasanp · 24/06/2025 22:45

Selfish, unless I chat to my neighbours about it my unspoken rules to be thoughtful of my neighbours are diy between 9am and 6pm. My neighbour tips their kid out in the garden to scream at 6:30 though which is lovely.
