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 😂

My neighbour was screaming at her boyfriend in the small hours while I anxiously tried to work out whether I needed to call the police.

Banging around the house upstairs for hours on end. I was just about to go and ask them to pack it in when I realised it was my 16 year old and 4 year old cats going bananas chasing each other.

Held a massive Pride event where thousands of people had a whale of a time in the sunshine, right where I could see it all, and listen to the music with a a glass of wine. Bastards, enjoying themselves like that.

I’d have no beef with that 😆

Communal garden which they have overtaken with all their stuff - using a jetwash and gardening at 11pm. Asked them politely to stop, got a mouthful back. Twats.

That was last night so that is a nice start to the week.

Violence and blood shed. Furry feline neighbour was in the process of murdering a magpie when it was set upon by a whole gang of magpies. Then a rival gang of seagulls started circling shrieking blue murder to warn everyone on the street of what was happening. Cat retreated under a car with magpie still in mouth .

This sounds less like a neighbour dispute and more like a David Attenborough documentary 😄

Sounds like you’ve got a DCat problem 😄

I blame the architect. It’s a terrace with a weird layout and the way they positioned the kitchen windows means that if you want to look outside, your view is 90% of your neighbours garden and a small sliver of your own. Our neighbours are out 24/7 at the moment trying to get their skin a nice shade of teak…So every time I look out of the window I feel like I’m spying on them, which I have no interest in doing - they’re not very interesting.

🤣😂🤣😅🤣

Sorry. The original quote i was reacting to may not have appeared for some reason...

Lighting their fire pit everytime it gets warm and everyone’s windows are open. So you either accept the house stinking of smoke or close the windows and deal with stifling heat!

I know. Absolutely awful behaviour and clearly trying to sabotage my diet. I was thinking of starting a thread about her in AIBU.

I should also add that the husbands of both couples have helped me out. I know that men helping female neighbours is a source of great tension on MN. One helped carry a new cooker into my house and other gave us some pieces of wood when our fence blew down. Neither wife accused me of trying to flirt or sleep with their husband. They must be ‘cool wives’ and very naive.

I'm in a terraced property. My neighbors one side don't just let their kids scream, they initiate the screaming. Chasing, squirting water, tickling etc.

Sounds lovely, but they are also alcoholics, so after about 6pm it forms into shouting, arguing and door slamming.

Every single time the sun is out.

The neighbour the other side breeds dogs and her garden is just one big dog toilet. In this heat the smell and the flies make my own garden a no go zone.

I can't move. It's a council house and I can't afford to move.

Mine breathe, I hate that for them ✌️😂😂😂

Need the laughing emoji!

I have yet to come across a car emission that smells like somebody has set fire to a bag of shit.
People who smoke that stuff have no idea how rancid it and they smell.

Mowing the lawn at 820pm

I love looking at other people's washing and critiquing their pegging technique 😬

I have neighbours who don't seem to realise that although surrounded by a high fence, their hot tub is very visible from one of my upstairs windows. Honestly, I have to keep my curtains closed at all times to block it out. They also fired up their bbq yesterday and I swear they were cooking smoked fish - it was horrendous.

1 had a dog that never quits barking. The other walk round in circles around her garden staring at her plants. She doesn't need to do any gardening, just needs to keep an eye on me incase I do something worthy of gossip.
The other one, dog lady, lady was hoola hooping. gotta admit I was impressed as she could do it and I can't although I'd never tell her. I swear I heard a little girls voice say look at meeeee. Several eees. She is about 62. Made her boyfriend do his hoopla hooping too.
The fact they never go anywhere really bugs me. Literally are at home 7 days/ evenings a week. Don't work & don't seem to go out. So as for me enjoying my garden unsupervised, that ain't happening.

How very dare your neighbours have a BBQ in summer. Cheeky bastards

Mine pitch a gazebo in their 2 foot deep front garden meaning it takes up the footpath aswel. They sit in the garden to 4am at least. Given the rising temps, bedroom windows are usually open so no escaping them even if they aren’t overly loud. It’s a delight as there is also nothing they don’t see

Existing....

Shouts me over the fence and always starts with “just so you know…”
Ive started hiding at the side of the house if I go outside.
