Who is right here, my H or me?

Smiley, 24 July, 2009 at 21:00 Posted on Off Topic Posts 0 8

Our (lovely) neighbour has been having an argument in his house for the past hour and a bit at the top of his voice. They are drinking, and arguing about god only knows. There is shouting and banging. It isnt confined to the house, you can hear them right round the back gardens, which means all the neighbours can also hear it. It is aggressive almost pre-fight arguments (not sure if they do phyiscally fight, but this happens quite a lot).

I think it isnt on, and it is antisocial behaviour.

My H says that it is pre 10pm and so I have nothing to moan about

If it was music then fair enough, but I dont think we should be subjected to aggressive arguments. Is he right? Is aggressive shouting classed the same as music?

    Thanks nicky167. I think it definitely falls into antisocial behaviour.

    I am sure someone else will report it, or the new neighbourhood patrol will hear him when they are out on their bikes (a new initiative). It can be heard right up the whole street ! He isnt even a young guy, he is about 55 ! ?

    Good luck reporting it to any one! We have a family at the end of the garden who are a pain playing music, shouting, fights in the garden etc, the police aren't interested unless it turns violent and the council number we have to ring is answered by a 70 year old man who has nothing to do with the council but just takes messages for when everyone else gets back to the office on Monday morning. Really helpful! But in answer to your original question yes it is antisocial behaviour!

    I don't think it is on to be so loud at any time of the day to be honest with you.

    Is he arguing with his other half?

    No, he was arguing with the guy across the road. He goes over for a drink and they get really argumentative. I was literally shaking, and in tears as I want to move now more than ever before.

    Sorry to hear you're having to endure this Smiley.

    I would report this kind of behaviour no matter what time of day it is. No-one should have to put up with that kind of disturbance in their own home.

    Thank you.

    It has all gone quiet, thankfully, so at least they arent keeping it up till all hours.

    It just means that I cant make use of the garden in the evening when it is lovely like it was tonight to sit in the sun with a glass of wine, as i was so horrible listening to that.

    He needs a good slap ?

    Hi

    I know it's done and dusted now but just wanted to add that I would personally class that as antisocial behaviour. If anything, hearing that kind of altercation would make me far more anxious than loud music although I've been in the horrid position of having loud music from neighbours too and it sucks. You have my sympathy, having sh1tty neighbours is just hideous. We had to move out of a home we loved because of the neighbours that surrounded us on all sides. I know how it can affect your whole life, it's not something you can just ignore and get on with which was advice I got from some unhelpful quarters. And if it stops you wanting to use your garden on a nice evening it's effectively blocking off a room in your house really. Poor you, I feel for you ?
