AITAH for asking people to turn their music down?
My home backs up to a park. Yesterday, a family set up their speaker about 8 feet behind my fence and then went and played volleyball 50 feet away. I moved from my backyard into the house because it was so loud, then could still hear it in my house with all the doors closed. Decided maybe they didn’t realize how loud it was so walked around to the park (I’m about three houses in from park entrance - could hear all the music loud in front of the house too). I asked if it was their music, and would you mind turning it down some or moving the speaker to where you are because it’s super loud.
This woman got extremely defensive..it’s not illegal, we are in a park, it’s not quiet hours…I said, I understand, I was just asking nicely if you could turn it down to be considerate to every one who lives here. (Park is bordered all around by people’s backyards).
She just get being defensive, told me to call the cops, etc etc. I explained it wasn’t an issue for the cops and just because it’s legal doesn’t mean it isn’t rude.
I ended up walking away, but seems like this is a huge issue lately and people are being awful about it. Am I the asshole? Have no clue how to handle this.
