It's easy to forgive children for being noisy every once in a while, but when it's all day every day, at a certain point one's patience will expire. 

This dude was dealing with a plethora of issues regarding his next-door neighbor's behavior. First of all, the parents do not treat their kids well. In fact, it's quite clear that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree in that department. Second of all, the kids are regularly singing and screaming at the top of their lungs at 2 am on weeknights, they're neglecting their poor dog, and trying to reason with them has proven to be nearly impossible. So, the only way to get these little miscreants to stop would only come with matching their energy. Hence, the choice to play incessant circus music that would annoy just about anyone.

    I have the worst neighbors, children out of control yelling. So I give them a theme song.

    It's always children screaming hysterically at the top of their longs. Very loud music and adults yelling.

    Talking to them won't help, they are really stupid and can't be reasoned with because they can't for the life of them see other perspectives.

    So now every time, they sit in the back yard I have circus music on repeat. They are too stupid to realize the effect it has on them.

    At first they laughed, but after the 8th time on repeat they start to make loud comments how it doesn't get to them. Now their visitors always leave these people.

    1. They talk behind my back in their backyard, like we don't live next to each other.

    2. I mean screaming, not having fun. The children have personality disorders because they are hyper all the time. I know because they are loud in everything.

    (As someone pointed out I have no credentials to make this comment about personality disorders et cetera, I do regret it and I will try to do better next time.)

    3. They destroyed parts of my home and threatened me with 4. Every major holiday is about them, we tried to have dinner around dinner time on Christmas but the windows were shaking from the bass. 5. During the week they sit in their backyard and sing loudly at 2 am. I guess I'm a little for wanting to sleep because I have to work 6. Children screaming at midnight because they are "playing". 7. How normal people yell is how they speak. 8.

    They told me that they have been living here for 10 years and every person that lived here before me has complained about their behavior, but it's not them it's the people that live here. 9. They their dog, one time left the poor doggy in a empty pool when it was 30+ celcius. The dog is always left in the back yard crying.

    Called the authorities multiple times but no one is willing to do anything. 10. They mentally their children, which is really depressing especially since they are loud and I hear everything.

    I tried to reason with them for almost 2 years now, I waited for almost 2 years for them to behave like normal people who are considerate of their surroundings.

    EtDemainPeutEtre .5 hr. ago · edited 1 hr. ago I have a problem with a restaurant next door who lets their kids use the terrasse as a soccer field. They use the metal gate to score goals. I have found some great experimental music that uses garbage cans lid for percussions and waiting for the terrasse to fill with customers to introduce them to this genre of music-planning on all windows wide open and music blaring. Think you can make my life by letting your kids ruin my peace? I will hit you we

    4 hr. ago the lady below me is pregnant every other year, and every one of them in the last ten years has reached a phase where they stand in the courtyard and yell MAMA! MAMA! MAMA! for 15 minutes straight. She's pregnant again.
