Hello everyone,

I'm not actually a gran nor am I a female so I am unsure if I am allowed to post on here.

I came across this forum when I did a search for noisy neighbours.

Can someone confirm if I am allowed to post on here or not. I have so much I need to get off my chest.

Merry Xmas and thanks for listening.

Well you are a grown up. You can't go on like this so you move out.
If you are in an unbearable position how can you help anyone else.

mid30s Thanks for keeping it short.

I think you have come to the right place to make your problems go away.
When the moderators return I think your post will vanish, but in the meantime I hope these will help :- www.google.com/aclk?sa=L&ai=DChcSEwi6w5ew-LvfAhVHsO0KHVYUBuYYABAIGgJkZw&sig=AOD64_1r74FPRN9wt5wxup_9exXdSjqNhA&ctype=5&q=&ved=0ahUKEwj76ZKw-LvfAhVAWhUIHdpoA9cQwg8ICw&adurl=

Grammaretto. I am disappointed in the shortness of your posts, but welcome to the site anyway.
Is it possible you could beat mid30’s prose in length to help me nod off?

Well if you been like this 40 years nothing going to change now is it
I m older than 67 and I don’t call myself very elderly so maybe rephrase that one I was still in full time work at 67
You all have multiple problems so not at all sure anything said on here will make a scrap of difference
Why she won’t move ? well if you don’t know, how can we possible know I think you’re barking up the wrong tree if you think we can mind read
Good luck in whatever it is you want

What a load of twaddle!

Good synopsis of the whole of Gransnet.

The neighbours are very fit if they are still rattling away at 7 am each morning on the step machine. They must be very elderly 67 year-olds too if they bought the house 40 years ago..

I said elderly 67 because there are people I work with who are 62 or 63 and are very fit and healthy. My Mum is not. Perhaps I used the wrong phrase. My uncle is 75 but he can do everything so I would say he is a young 75, full of energy and that. I didn't mean to upset anyone.

The one who bashes away on the stepping machine is late 20s and doesn't work. It's not the parents who use the machine. It's more constantly slamming doors.

Thanks for the advice. I'll look at the other threads and forums you mentioned. Thanks for reading my rant.

Your mum sounds scared of change. Does she go out at all socially? Anyway she could see a 2 bed bungalow for herself.

Sorry about your neighbors, people like this do exist your only option is to move, they are determined to be antisocial but are not actually breaking any laws.
If it's social housing ask the housing association to move you, certainly in this area there seems to be quite a lot of swapping houses.
If it's private rented just find somewhere else and give notice to the landlord.
If you own the house sell it even if it's not a good price, neighbours like that will damage your health and what price can you put on that.
Don't tolerate it move away, it's not fair but it is the only solution.

mid30s. You say it’s the younger ones on the machines and it’s the older ones slamming the doors.
You also insinuate that the walls are thin.
Are they that thin that you can actually see through them?
Or have put put things in your posts to take the p**s of those who take you at face value?

My GD had been reporting the behaviour of her next door neighbours for a long time until in the end she phoned the police to report suspected drug activity with the constant " callers " at all hours and the fear she had for the children.
Anyway after a police visit to the house things appeared to have calmed down which my GD was thankful for.

Just before Christmas the neighbour was found dead------presumably a drug overdose or drug-inflicted which then left my GD feeling guilty though when I saw her yesterday I told her that her call could actually have saved a life and not to think that she feels responsible for the young man's death sad as it is.

A friend was being terrorised (drums, dogs, DIY late at night etc) by a horrible upstairs neighbour. We thought the only answer was for her to leave. She sold up to a couple who would take no nonsense. The nasty neighbour soon got bored and put his own flat on the market.
So what had been causing our friend such misery for so long, stopped just like that!
