Constant Parties Wrecking my Head!!

JupiterKid

A gaff two doors down is just starting yet another all night party. On a Sunday night. And of course it's the third or fourth being held over the past few weeks.

It's the usual case of "parents are away" and the mice will play. A huge group of young guys, all around leaving cert age, have poured into the place and it's starting to get rowdy.:(

Now, in case any one here think I'm a joyless auld spoilsport, I've done plenty of partying in my day. But at a reasonable time - like a Friday or Sat night and no loud music after 1am. A little consideration for the neighbours wouldn't go astray.:mad:

Anyone else p*ssed off royally by the neighbours partying? Any ideas of how to nip this crap in the bud?

Diall 999 and ask for the coast guard

Call the garda?

Knock on the door. You're not being a grump by asking for a bit of quiet on a work night. Different if it was a weekend maybe.

I live in the country. My neighbours are a herd of cows. Sure they're noisy sometimes,but they shut up after a while. :pac:

Oh i've a Guard living on the other side of me. So no wild parties there either.

Meh...I've done that before. The Gardai don't seem to want to know frankly. They say it's a "local and civil matter" whatever that means. All they might do is call over and tell them to keep the noise down.

Like I said, I've no problem with parties and people having a good time, as long as it doesn't disturb the neighbours, many with small children, all night long.

Golf club or baseball bat walk in to house , smash stereo , stare at the biggest one in there and tell them if you hear another sound you'll be back with your mates. It works

*Actually don't do this

Go get some earplugs! :pac:

I used to live in an apartment near enough to ucd and these 18 yr old brats moved in upstairs - complete dicks. The place had just been done up and had wooden floors so you could hear everything. The girls they hung out with were the worst for noise and they were always having counselling sessions on the stairs as one or other would be crying. The lot of them used to play drinking games the whole time and would be chanting "drink, drink, drink" etc. Maddening.
Also, the most annoying thing about it was that the parties would start at lunchtime so you'd have to listen to them all day. At least at night you can wear earplugs and go asleep.
I actually wrote a letter to them one day telling them that the girls they hung around with sounded like assholes. I just remembered that - lol!

It's a local and civil matter, tbh

Yup there's nothing like a good beating to get the kids to go asleep.

It's a thin line though, beating them into unconciousness and having to bring them to the A&E. Took years for me to find the balance.

Publish the address in AH whenever they're having parties. Probably won't continue much longer.

Well, technically it's a matter for the local council. Strangely though, the council offices shut at 5pm on a friday and don't open again until 10am monday so you're sool.
My auntie had troubles like this before, you need to start logging all the activity and can eventually get them taken to court.

My alcoholic neighbour a few doors down likes to play music really loud with his front door open.
The worst of it is he only owns one or two CDs so we're treated to Leona Lewis and Alexandra Burke on repeat all evening and night.
I really feel like giving him a few new CDs.

Not much you can do mate - just put in earplugs and mow the lawn at 9am to pay them back!!!:D

Considering it's more than likely pissing off your neighbors as well, I'd get up at around 7-8 since the vast majority of people would be up around then. Get an airhorn, go into their garden and blow the **** out that airhorn and **** with their hungover heads.

Then send them one of them freaky ransom type letters where the words are spelt with individual cut-out letters saying something like "You keep me up with your music, I'll wake you up with a airhorn"

Can't stand my neighbours... screeching kids, faulty alarms, tirelessly barking dogs, taking two hours to mow the lawn and they're never bloody finished building extensions or doing some other renovation crap... parties are thankfully very rare, but they make up for it the rest of the time.

I used to live beside a bunch of students when I started my first job many moons ago. They'd come in from the pub & start playing guitars, bongos, tamourines & sing from midnight till around 4 or 5 am.

It really affected my sleep & I was constantly waking up late & going into work tired & grumpy. Rang the Garda a few times & in fairness they did call around to them, but as soon as they'd leave, I'd hear them all whispering for a bit, then stifling their laughs, then 10 mins later, the music would start back up.

So, I decided to change tactics - for 2 weeks, I'd get up in the morning for work, position the stereo speakers to face the wall that divided the houses & put the same CD on repeat at full blast. I got copies of the most enoying songs I could find & play a different one, over & over again until I got home from work, 10 hours later.

Eventually one of them called around to ask if I could keep the music down during the day, to which I replied, "only if you keep it down after midnight".

Never had a problem after that.

Why dont you bring cans and join the party?

itsmyopinion

I had the displeasure of having to put up with neighbours from hell too when i lived in a house converted into flats
i worked full time and they seemed to party every sunday night i say party does just screaming your head off count as a party???
anyway noise pollution is from 11pm so once midnight came i rang local garda station and said it to them held the phone out the door so they could hear the screaming and always found they where very good and came over and had a quiet word with the offenders
didnt always work as they would be quiet until the next week and then they did the same maybe all the screaming was to do with the lack of brain cells???

flowerific

The gardai don't call out unless you say you think they are dealing drugs or the party has spilled out onto the street
Renters ieside me had a party and yelling in the garden etc. Now I'm normally out on a Sat so doesn't bother me but as I was out on Fri was in. So at 4am I had had enough. I set my house burgular alarm off and their guest left 10mins later . Nothing worse than an alarm going off over their music.
Oh yeh and seen as I'm off tomorrow and they are now in bed hungover I have my stereo blaring :-)

itsmyopinion

great idea just a shame you have to do that everytime you want them to shut up :-(
maybe i was lucky was living in rathmines at time and found the local garda very good and replied quickly

That usually gets them out.

Can we stop blaming students in this thread? We have this problem too. Around the time of my Junior-Cert I was driven insane by a group of scum-bags having parties every other night. They had one before the night of the English exam I had oh so painfully been studying for.



I got a D.

Way I see it, what's wrong with Night-clubs?
