My neighbours are a pack of dickbags but I’m stuck.
My brother and I bought a house 10 years ago and for the first few, other than some occasional noise issues the neighbours were pretty ok. It was an elderly lady and her daughter who has some social/intellectual challenges but also has substance issues. The mother passed away about 5 years ago now and since then is has been a nightmare. The daughter now owns the house and moved in the boyfriend and there’s a constantly revolving door of flatmates moving in and out.
The boyfriend has rage issues. I was woken up to him screaming at the top of his lungs in the drive way at 4:50am this morning. He hurls abuse and threats into the void at top volume, kicks the rubbish bins so they hit our shared fence, punches the mailbox, opens the gate and slams it over and over while rage screaming. He kicks the garage door, he slams the front door, he punches walls inside the house. These grown man tantrums can be anywhere from once or twice a week to multiple times a day.
We initially had concerns for the owner’s safety but they’re actually absolutely as bad as each other and while he is loud and obnoxious she has a tendency to come after him with an armload of pots and pans when she’s really pissed.
They’re awake all night, they barely sleep. I helped her out one day because she was locked out of the house and she offered me my choice of booze, weed or meth as a thank you gift. That last one probably explains why they never seem to sleep. Now they have some dude staying with them who bought a broken down shitbox of a Holden Commodore and he seems to enjoy bashing parts on to and off of it at all hours of the night. She loves to blast insane clown posse during her favourite music blaring hours of 1-5am.
Neither myself nor my brother are in a position to sell up and move or move and rent out our place or anything. We are stuck here. I am slowly losing my mind from a lack of sleep and the constant barrage of noise. I’m hypersensitive to noise to start with and they are next fucking level.
Also now one of them has bought a fucking drum kit. Drum practice hours start at around 6am go for a couple of hours and then stop and start periodically throughout the day and then we have another solid couple of hours between 11pm and 2 am.
I hate it here.
