apparently not
Yes, but does that mean we should ignore other things? It can also be true that what is a big thing for one person is of no consequence for someone else. Someone may feel violated by a neighbour’s music shaking their house, whereas you or I may not mind or may enjoy it if we like the music.
Yep, definitely nothing more ‘nonsense‘ than trying to work from home with windows shaking from a neighbour kindly sharing their excessively loud music. Really helps the concentration.
Hi @BigRarsclart, welcome to the forum. You seem somewhat familiar with this situation, so perhaps you could ask the gentleman in question to represent himself here (under whatever anonymous pseudonym he likes) so he can get to know his neighbours and perhaps help build a more amicable relationship with them.
I don’t think anyone holds anything against him personally, they’re just concerned about some behaviours that would be pretty easy for him to stop if only he realised the serious problems it is causing to those around him.
“Serious Problems” nothing’s more serious than COVID-19 at this moment in time though.
Just a thought…
Imagine if society could only solve one problem at a time.
And it’s not that I’m familiar with the such situation in question, but I see the post pop up thought I’d have a look and share my opinion like others have in here.
Personally I’d of tried to be a good standing neighbour and tried to resolve this like grownups. Rather than acting like big baby’s in a forum
Is there a link to this video, I’m rather intrigued to see what exactly is it your being subjected to.
Well by the looks of it, this is another addition to the list of irrelevant problems that’ll probably never get dealt with
I will come and introduce myself tomorrow if you want? Like the 3 other neighbours that spoke to you today (if anyone is confused Steppa is the individual in question) Every time today that someone came and asked you turn down the music you turned it back up again 5 minutes later.
Who’d have guessed…
This is actually hilarious, trying to pretend you aren’t signed up with the same name that you have literally written on the side of your car…
You realise the people that came up today and have come up previously are trying to solve this like adults, and you are the one acting like a big baby and saying its your “right” to play music that loud. I think you need to show a little respect to the people around you.
Steppa is this individual in question…
How can you confirm this please?
No!..what’s hilarious is it that YOU think the person your talking to here is the person in question…
I’m familiar with the act of digging an ever larger hole for myself… it never ends well!
(friendly advice)
Your right…
It never does.
Feel a bit strange posting an update knowing that the individual in question is reading this post however I had a couple of call backs from the met today including the forest hill safer neighbourhood team. Due to the number of complaints they have recently received they will be pursuing action against the individual, dont want to post specifics here though
don’t worry, he denied it was him. Glad you got a response from the Met. I hope this is as simple as the business owner being spoken to, simply turning down the music and getting on with running his business.
I think everyone is just trying to be supportive, and find comfort within their local community.
This forum certainly isn’t belittling any of the problems the world is facing at present. Quite the opposite, I feel.
In a time when its so important to be good, kind humans and neighbors, when we are all locked down in tiny London flats together, trying to keep business’ and jobs afloat by working from home, whilst caring for our loved ones, something as distressing and intimidating as noise that shakes our homes and effects our health on a daily basis can be ten times more damaging and depressing than normal.
Personally, I am reassured, and feel a little better after finding and reading this forum, to know that I am not alone, and to know that my neighbors are there also, trying to bring a little peace to the neighborhood in these sad, crazy times.
The message thats being said in the forum is being said to him too. Any anonymity people have, certainly for myself, is because the situation is intimidating and upsetting, and perhaps people dont feel brave enough to reveal any further details.

Welcome to the forum - great first post, thanks.
