What are your neighbours doing to annoy you this summer?

[AMumWithWiFi]

For the past two evenings, just as it's finally cooled down enough to open the windows, one neighbour has fired up a BBQ and another has lit a log fire.

I know people are entitled to enjoy their gardens, but the timing feels almost impressively irritating.

Anyway, rather than sitting here seething internally while my house slowly fills with eau de smoked sausage and bonfire, please tell me about your neighbours' most gloriously twattish habits.

The more petty and irrationally annoying, the better.

Help me feel less alone 😂

That is horrible. How about some subtle low-key passive aggressive sort of karma that cannot be traced? Legal, of course.

Cackling a fake laugh as another punter turns up to buy drugs. Shouting “Love Ya” in a performative way as relatives leave. Roaring with laughter at the (unfunny) kid. Throwing a football about in a narrow garden. Kicking a football (but that’s standard all year round outside). Every time I go out to put something in the recycling or water the plants I get hijacked by some fucker.

That is a low bar.

Nothing! We moved 6 months ago because we had twatty noisy inconsiderate neighbours in our old house which meant we barely used the garden the last few summers. Sat in our new garden enjoying the peace occasionally saying to each other 'ooh isn't this lovely'.

They open up the bifold doors, take their beers into the garden and sit on the patio watching the 60 inch TV they installed in the kitchen. Obviously, they need to turn the volume up so they can hear it which means we can all hear it in our houses, too.

I once wanted to buy a house next to a cemetery. DH vetoed it. I maintain it would have solved at least 90% of neighbour-related issues. The neighbours would have been impeccably quiet.

Once a week I throw a bag of dog shit into their bushes. Gives me a tiny win.

I feel your pain. The neighbours behind me have got bifold and I can hear everything I mean everything

We all have tiny gardens, but they have filled theirs with a squeaky trampoline and a pool. The kids are homeschooled so it’s bouncing, splashing and screaming from about 7am-9pm. What fun!

I’ve let my front lawn grow a bit longer because the white and purple clover was looking amazing and the bees were loving it. Other wild flowers have also started to appear so it just looked magical.
I was out from early doors till late evening yesterday and when I got home my beautiful lawn was no more.
My wonderful neighbour had cut his and thought he’d do mine as well as he knew I’d had a busy few weeks.
I couldn’t be annoyed because he was so chuffed but I do feel sorry for the bees!🐝

We get to hear their TV constantly. They seem to like reality tv, sport and quiz shows. Periodically they treat us to an afternoon of Michael Jackson played at full volume while they cook Sunday lunch. Bifolds should be banned.

The only ones who annoy me are the ones who smoke weed constantly so it wafts in ours when the windows are open, and the ones across the road who seem to have loads of visitors who park their cars awkwardly. We’re on a sort of corner and it makes access difficult. One up the road a few houses just moved in and parks his truck right by a bend so no-one can see what’s coming.

Three different neighbours spend most evenings sitting outside the front of their houses chatting. Its not so much annoying as baffling as we have very small front gardens/ drives and big back gardens. They must sit out as soon as they come back from work. I don't know why they don't go into one of their back gardens as it must be better than sitting in the car fumes and having random people walking past listening to them.

Annoying cunts with fires in this heat

Repeat post - edit

Small gardens. Bi fold doors open all day with loud taking. Might as well sit in their kitchen. Children screaming a lot and not asked to stop

Exist.

This morning, one side lit a barbecue for breakfast when I had a load of washing on the line , no warning.…right now we’ve come indoors because the young couple (first home etc) two doors down have just got the power tools out to build something on the patio. I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt , probably not really thinking about it, but I was just getting settled with a glass of wine and my book.

So with you. Bi fold means I can hear absolutely everything!

Terrible music. As soon as there’s a ray of sun. Awful dance music with a constant heavy bass line. With their kids that do nothing but scream from sun up to sun down.

This reminded me of the neighbours further down the road. They were having work done and to free up their drive they parked their cars awkwardly on the road. This blocked the bin lorry and our bins weren’t emptied.

Using power tools feet from my bedroom window at 8.05 am this morning.. Utter twats and have been since even before they moved in.

Mine three doors down have tvs on at full volume both upstairs and downstairs at the same time in their house. 😵‍💫 Windows wide open, which means I can't open my windows unless I have my tv loud too.
I feel so sorry for the guy who lives next door to them.

My neighbours bleat all day.

i don’t have human neighbours and i don’t want any neither

They’re retired so have all week but decide to use power tools from about 8am every Sunday for most of the day 🙄
