Neighbour hoovers everyday

174 replies

We live in a semi detached bungalow and our next door neighbour (single woman) hoovers every single day without fail. It only lasts 10-15 minutes and is usually in the evening around 6-7pm. AIBU to find it annoying? I can’t understand why someone would need to hoover that much unless they have kids or pets (she has neither)

Unless it interrupts something like getting a young child off to sleep, I cannot see the issue.

If it would disturb you less to be at another time, then do this think called talking to your neighbour.

MyUmberSeal · 22/07/2025 19:01

Daily hoovering here. Not in the evening, but every morning without fail.

SemiRetiredLoveGoddeess · 22/07/2025 19:02

Is this real post or a joke.?

LauderSyme · 22/07/2025 19:03

The solution to your annoyance OP is to refrain from being sedentary in the living room between 6 and 7 every evening. Do something louder and more exciting in a different room instead.

Luckyingame · 22/07/2025 19:03

YABVU.
I quite envy your single neighbour to live her life and hoover every day. 😂
You sound bitter.

Usernamenotavailable19 · 22/07/2025 19:04

Nothing wrong with hoovering daily

user1476613140 · 22/07/2025 19:04

I need to take a leaf out of your neighbour's book....

Pickingmyselfup · 22/07/2025 19:08

I've run my hoover round at least once if not twice already today but I do have rats that like to kick their soil and litter out of the cage, a cat who sheds tumbleweeds and kids who are just generally crumby!

It's only the downstairs that we do so regularly and we are detached but I can't see that hoovering daily for 15 minutes would annoy anybody that much unless it was in the middle of the night!

DeadMemories · 22/07/2025 19:08

I hoover every day, one teen and a cat. When I had a dog I hoovered twice a day, he was a hairy bugger.

TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne · 22/07/2025 19:08

My DH does all the floors in our house.
He mops the kitchen and bathroom every morning and hoovers all the carpets in the late afternoon.

Shrimpybaby · 22/07/2025 19:09

I hoover 2 or 3 times a day. I have a 4 year old and I'm not leaving crumbs to be trodden around the house!

I do the kitchen probably 3 times a day, the sitting room in the evening and upstairs twice a week.

I couldn't care less what anyone else thinks or does. We live in a detached house but even so, as long as it's not super early or super late, I'd find it odd if a semi detached neighbour had an issue!

Wow 😂

I Hoover every day (single woman, seeing as martial status matters here…..) I think it’s fairly standard?

Songbird54321 · 22/07/2025 19:11

I hoover every day. When the kids are off it’s twice a day at least.
Maybe you should also hoover around 6-7pm to take your mind off her

runningonberocca · 22/07/2025 19:12

Don’t most people hoover every day? Completely normal daily activity at a completely appropriate time of day!
I thought you were going to say she hoovers at 5 am or something! My mother used to specialise in hoovering outside my bedroom door with a few strategic whacks of the hoover off the door every Sat /Sun morning when I was a hungover teen !

B0D · 22/07/2025 19:12

None of your business I would think

lifeonmars100 · 22/07/2025 19:14

Spare a thought for me, my neighbours do the following:

  1. Shout and yell from around 11am to midnight
  2. Deal drugs
  3. Fly tip
  4. Broke into my yard and took my bin because as there are about 10 of them in a two up two down, they have tons of rubbish
  5. Called me a "mother fucking cunt" when I asked them to keep the noise down
  6. Used my address to commit financial fraud
  7. Fill their yard with a load of scrap which encroaches into the communal alley because they have trashed the fence
I wish that 15 minutes of early moring hoovering was the only thing that they did.

Of course, I'm not keeping an eye on her. The walls are so thin and we’re usually sat in the living room while she does it. I don't know anyone who hoovers that often. We maintain a tidy home, but there's no need to vacuum daily surely. If people have carpets, they must be completely worn out.

It actually helps carpets last longer. Dirt particles in the “roots” of the carpet rub and cause wear. I whizz the hoover over the hallway carpet and exposed parts of the living carpet every day with a “proper” hoover of each room once a week. (Yes I follow The Organised Mum Method).

TheGentleButFirmMadonna · 22/07/2025 19:16

Early dinner, instead a broom, quick hoover, so she's nice and free, all day, everyday. Perfect life

Maybe she doesn’t have carpets though?
I have laminate floor in the kitchen and hallway and Hoover daily.

Hopelesscase32 · 22/07/2025 19:17

And?

Spirallingdownwards · 22/07/2025 19:17

Maybe she is allergic to dust.

Maybe she is just house proud.

It's not at an anti social time so - Meh 🤷‍♀️

Muffinmam · 22/07/2025 19:18

I vacuum every single day. It’s necessary.

Zanoni · 22/07/2025 19:19

I don’t have children or pets and I hoover at least once a day. My son is an electrician and drops brick dust from his hair/clothes, why does it bother you?

I don't do my living room daily but I whizz my cordless Shark around the kitchen and dining area most evenings when i have finished cooking.
