    Not the biggest problem in the world, but this bugs the sh*t out of me.
    New neighbour moves in 3 houses up from me, heard this almightly
    thumpin/bongo music coming from the street.

    Look out the window, its coming out of he's car radio. He's walking around
    he's wine coloured beat up 97 Almera cleaning/admiring it.

    Last night around 7 something the same, same noise expect this time he's
    fixing its exhaust while he's 4 small kids are running around on the road.

    So i just snapped, walked out said "Hi bud, you couldn't turn it down a bit"
    He actually looked shocked, but he did. :)
    How fecking loud do you need your car to be.

    Oh i can see problems ahead.

    A '97, car-proud Almera owner will always be an asshole, loud music or not.

    Thats true, but why need it so loud in the first place.
    So i figured that made him an asshole, no consideration of any one round him.

    (some) Music sounds better louder. Maybe he was testing the boundries of his new neighbourhood.

    Was listening to some tunes from my car, whilst fixing its exhaust the other day and my neighbour comes down the street riding some sort of contraption that looked almost like a bicycle.. he asked me to turn down the music, so i did..

    As he was turning to make his way home i shouted "hey, whats that thing made of?"

    he replied "It's Mecano, man"

    I am living 3 doors down from you and the first bit of contact I have had with you is you moaning about a bit of music. I turned down the music when you asked but then I discover you are on Boards mouthing off that you forsee trouble. Well Bud you have fcuking found it. I am going to make your life hell , just you wait till I get out my own bongos and call all my bongo playing friends , I'll show you.

    Also don't assume my kids are going to be trouble because they are outside their own house minding their own business.
    You try doing the same.










    In case you haven't guessed I am not the OP's neighbour but if I was I foresee a slap in his future

    Your First thread in AH isn't going so well OP :p

    I listen to music all the time while I'm working on the Car / Bike.
    Its not exactly blaring or anything but it's loud enough from the house for me to hear while I'm under the car in the driveway.

    If a neighbour asked me to turn it down, no problem and I'd make an effort to keep it lower in future.
    But I've never had a complaint... so I assume that it isn't bothering anyone.

    OP sounds like that grumpy old man in the estate who gives out about kids playing on the road after 9pm in the summer and never gives back a ball that went into his garden :mad:

    Never lived near an asshole before. Saying that, I've never seen an asshole drive a car before. Must be quite a sight! How does it steer?

    Your neighbour is allowed play his music as loud as he wants up until 11p.m. It was nice of him to turn it down for you...he could have told you to f*ck off.

    He sounds like a nice guy.
    7 o clock in my area brings the sound of lawn mowers, playing children and people fixing or vaccuming their cars.
    Nobody complains because its not so late.
    Why didn't you stroll up to him and chat to him for a while, now he has a moany neighbour who he wont get on with.

    If the music was excessively loud then yes i'd turn it down a bit, some people are inconsiderate pricks.

    If the music wasn't that loud & i detected you were just being a nosey whinger i'd ask you to fcuk off back indoors & mind your own business.....bud.:)

    I had a neighbour once that did a series of things he shouldnt. to cut a very long story short i informed his missus that if i ever see him again im going to kill him.

    Incredibly for somone that lives beside us i didnt see him for over a year.

    I removed the snyper fatuwa.

    We talk again.
