The frustrated resident said they had been 'woken up quite a few times' by the neighbour being incredibly noisy in the early hours, and they weren't sure what to do about it
Everyone has a certain threshold when it comes to tolerating their neighbours' behaviour. If they hold an occasional party or make a bit of noise from time to time, it's generally best to just overlook it and move on.
But what if your neighbour did the same annoying thing every single weekend at 2.30am? That's the dilemma one person found themselves facing, as their neighbour was doing something incredibly inconsiderate every weekend in the early hours. They explained that they suspected their neighbour works unconventional shifts, though this isn't justification for what he was choosing to do. They wrote: "I assume my neighbour works midnights.
I only think that as his car is at the house all day and gone at night.
"Well, he cuts his grass every weekend. I have been woken up quite a few times.
"He cuts both front and back at very bizarre hours of the night. I know I can not be the only one who hears it; there are other houses near. It's been going on for the past few months. I don't hear it every time, but many times I've been woken up.
"This morning it happened again. Should I go up to him and talk c*** next time it happens?
" In the responses, people argued that making noise beyond certain hours was unacceptable, and consequently, they should "call the police". Another remarked: "I hear you about calling the police, but sometimes I get the feeling that without saying it, sometimes they convey who called.
" One person commented: "If someone is running a lawnmower at 3am, we're past the 'maybe they're unaware' stage. One polite conversation is reasonable; after that, I'd start looking up local noise ordinances.
" A woman shared: "I just asked my husband if he could imagine a neighbour doing this, he said yes, so and so. I said immediately I'm calling the cops. No questions asked, he can be p***** at me, I don't care. 6am is disrespectful, but we live in a hot climate, so I get it.
"At 3am, I'm calling the cops and waiting outside the door with them to cuss you out, I don't care. I love my sleep too much, and I'm a chill neighbour outside of this.
"Same neighbour burns his trash and weeds, during the fall when it's actually nice enough to have the windows open, I don't complain, I just close them and turn on the AC . But my sleep...we're beefing for life.
" One Reddit user stated: "At 3am, this stops being a matter of personal preference and becomes a matter of basic consideration. "Noise ordinances exist for exactly this reason... when one person's routine starts affecting dozens of other people trying to sleep... Being courteous matters, but so does respecting everyone else's right to a quiet night.
"The fact that this has been going on for months makes it even crazier," another contributor remarked. "One time is weird; every weekend is a choice. "
