Antisocial new neighbour

[DaisyDonut53]

Our new neighbours who don't celebrate Christmas have decided it's ok to start jet washing the front of their house on Boxing Day! My family does celebrate Christmas and think this is really disrespectful.. does anyone agree?

I don't know. Do you stop doing the things you would normally do when it's their religious holidays? Does everyone else around them?

If not, then yabu.

It's a bank holiday, we gave family visiting and its really noisy!

Oooooo. Noooooooooo. Not the jet wash. The bastards.

😂😂😂

That's your business, not theirs.

People are always gardening and doing noisy DIY on bank holidays.

😆

It’ll be dark any minute so presumably they’ll stop then.

Even people who celebrate Christmas sometimes do home maintenance on Bank Holidays.
Why is it disrespectful?

Hmm...nah. The jet washing is okay. It's just neighbours going about their normal life.
Boxing day isn't sacred or anything.

Does any religion or religious festival have a problem with jet washing? New one on me if it does. 🙄

Your neighbours have the right to enjoy their property without you getting all sour faced. i If you can't enjoy Bank Holiday without perfect silence, I guess you need a few more acres. 🙂

They're doing DIY as lots of people do on bank holidays, whether they have a religious context or not. It's not remotely disrespectful. It's not midnight!

Thou shalt not jet-wash your property on boxing day!

I assume you aren't all sitting outside so really, how noisy can it be. Put some music on.

Wondering if their race or religion is implicitly relevant here - just a hunch

Welcome to the late afternoon episode of Jackanory.
The tale of the neighbours who don't celebrate Christmas and ensuing outrage.

St Stephen is actually the patron saint of clean masonry.

Tell them to talk more quietly then.

Oh dear!

What nonsense
Because you have visitors the whole street must be silent
Wise up

I’m going to go against the grain and agree that it’s a bit disrespectful and shit. It’s Christmas, not a random Bank Holiday. Even if the neighbours don’t celebrate Christmas, they presumably know that their neighbours are likely to.
Jet washing is bloody noisy!

Load of goadie bollocks.

Gosh if you think that's antisocial OP you'd have a shock living next door to our neighbours.

Its a bank holiday, what is the problem?
