WHY when the weather gets warmer do strange people have the compulsion to heap on to us their terrible music played very very loudly from houses with windows wide open or from cars who sound systems cost more than the car itself !!
I do not want it and I HATE IT !!!
YES! And it's always awful music isn't it? A girl across the road from me has just got her first car and sets off in the morning to work with her window wound down playing her music full blast. Awful taste in music... It's always that garage/hiphop rubbish and they always have the bass on full... I feel like blasting out Mozart.. LOL.
My neighbour who is in his 50's sets the tone for all the other idiots where I live and when asked to turn down the music I get called a party pooper.
I was asking if they have ear deafeners as opposed to hearing aids
It is disgusting that you have to put up with it but it seems everyone tries to outdo everyone else. I have said to my neighbour to turn down his music as I also don't like the stuff he plays, he was more than obliging. Another neighbour plays foreign music loudly then claims he doesn't understand English very well if asked to turn it down, he has been here over 8 years and speaks very good English.
I have been in your position many times and sometimes just go out to get away but that should not be the case !!
Consideration for others and good manners seem to be a thing of the past. Noise, any kind of noise, is a pollution.
I was brought up to believe that you don't go around screaming and shouting at the top of your voice (even as children - it's not necessary), you don't play loud music of any sort no matter who may or may not like it, you don't make unnecessary noise of any sort because it's an invasion of other people's privacy.
Yes you can't get round the necessary things easily. You have to mow a lawn for instance, but you can be considerate about what time of day you do it. You have to make some sort of noise when house building or doing repairs, but again you can keep it to a minimum and be careful of not letting it happen to early or late in the day.
To that extent you have to live and let live and some noise is unavoidable. But consideration of how much noise, what sort of noise and when you make it is a matter of choice. And if you don't take consideration of other people into account when making that choice then you are not a good neighbour.
Society today is far too full of me, me, me people and it's a very sad state of affairs.
Agree with you 100% I hate it when I get on to a bus the amount of people sat in the disabled section who are very clearly able to stand or move upstairs who then turn their heads when I get on, I walk with a stick and have major mobility problems but they are content to let you stand and you have to ask them to sit down I remember when I was travelling with my mother on the bus when I was small and if anyone who was older than me got on I was made to stand by her and that has remained with me So I find it disrespectful when able bodied people do not get up !!
I'm guessing we are from the same generation. I distinctly remember that about being made to stand up when "grown ups" got on the bus and needed a seat. Or maybe I sat on my Mum's knee. Also remember when walking along the street, children were expected to give way to adults not just allowed to barge into them like they do these days, then the parents give you a filthy look as if you should be expected to make way for them and their entire brood.
It's definitely a different world these days and respect and consideration are a rarity whereas they used to be the norm.
Exactly and I remember one day at the age of 11 I gave a cheeky reply to our next door neighbour and she came knocking on the door to tell my mother and I was made to give her an apology to her face with my mother standing there then I was slapped on the legs for my contribution and dreaded my dad coming home and my mum telling him !!!
Yep, and the time me and my 3 sisters and a friend went trick or treating in our street. Our Mum was so horrified she made us go back and return all the sixpences and apologise.
She said "I've got to live with these neighbours, I'm not having them think my daughters go round demanding money with menaces". Never forgotten it though.
The vast majority of our generation respected their elders and did what they were told. It was only the real wronguns that ever caused any real trouble because all the adults in the neighbourhood kept an eye on all the kids.
Different times.
Oh your so 100% right It saddens me to see the disrespect that the youth of today show especially towards anyone in authority. I live near a school and on one occasion I saw 3 girls smoking and swearing like troopers in school uniform So I dared to speak out and was told to "F*** off you old tramp" I went the next day to see the headmistress and she asked if I could identify the 3 girls.I told her it not just those 3 it seems a majority of her school had bad attitudes and she said "We cannot be there 24 hours a day" I told her that this subject should be brought up in assembly and she said "It would be like water off a ducks back".
I would hate to see how these children would have got along when I was a boy !!
That includes classical music! I was waiting for a bus earlier and had a wide blast of everything from Beethoven to rap! Still, beats the 'throbbing cars' as I call them, all you get is the beat! 🐸
That is what annoys me the most is the horrible whump whump whump and not the music Is it me or most of them a tad deaf ???
Think it's them! Funniest throbbing car I've seen was a Robin Reliant! It had blackened Windows, spoilers, alloys etc etc and was physically shaking with the whump whump lol 🐸
:>))))))))
Husband in bed with a migraine so hot in his room that he needs windows open. Well as soon as he went to bed everyone decided to mow their lawn, blow the grass off the paths, blitz the patio and yes have the radio on full blast. This is a lovely residential area with quiet roads and we have more noise pollution here in some ways than when we lived on a main road with 10 buses an hour. Just had to go in and shut all his windows.x
Some people have zero respect for others and sadly they were dragged up as opposed to being brought up.
I hate it from cars, the beat as the vehicle approaches and then goes past is horrendous! I am not sure if you rang your local environmental health department if they would take any action about it?
All my hopes and dreams for you
