New neighbours get their Sainsbury's delivery at 7am every Saturday morning... argh!

[dlockers]

Pretty much.

They do 1 hour and 4 hour slots, complain to Sainsburys and they will just have the driver switch up his route slightly, he will still turn up before 8 but hey if it means that much to the op.

Telling your neighbour what they can and can't do after being in the place for 4 weeks would be a right laugh to watch though, so if you do try and get it on video.

This sounds like the best approach.

Make sure you sign off as Karen.

We just have a mutual agreement with our neighbours. We all do what we want when we want, and nobody moans.

Seems to work a treat.

Problem is that if they limited slots to between 9am and 9pm, there wouldn’t be enough to go round.

How'd you come up with that brain-fart logic?

I don’t know, just one of my random musings

 

[dirtychinchilla]

I think I must be in the minority here then as I think it's totally unreasonable and yes I would say something. I think people generally are extremely selfish making noise in the mornings just because they get up at a set time. Getting up at 9am is not unusual for people who work later shifts like 10-6, especially now with more home working being able to get up later.

On weekends especially I think anything before 9am is too early. I personally leave things till 10am as I'm not an unselfish moron.

Someone down my road likes to beep their car horn most weekdays early to announce they are here to pick up their kid on a school day. I will find them...and when I do...etc.

Works the other end of the day too. Loud talking in gardens after 10pm is rude for people trying to sleep in the summer. Occasionally it's fine for parties and get togethers sure. People generally just don't think of others.

Completely agree. People who think it’s ok to wake up their neighbours at the weekend are odious. You get 2 days a week of free sleep, and someone ruins it. We had a word with our neighbours about letting the dog out at 5 AM and their response was that they wouldn’t let the dog and the child out at the same time. Mostly solved the problem, except the child is a serious ****** and screams all day.

I wouldn’t do anything noisy until about 10, in the knowledge that’s that is a sensible time so as not to wake any of the neighbours. That’s being considerate.

 

[Dis86]

I certainly don't think that expecting someone to be in bed at 7am is out of the ordinary. I try to show a decent level of courtesy to my neighbours and keep noise levels down between 8PM (time that many young children tend to go to bed) and 8AM. It's never really provided me with any significant problems, so not something that's out of the question for others to emulate.

It just shows a basic level of decency, consideration and respect for those around you.

Yes, we have the same one. With added consideration for extra good times.

Don’t be ridiculous, you can’t ask someone to change a shopping delivery because it interferes with your lay in!

This. Invest in some ear plugs or wake up at 7, make a cupper and then continue to have a lay in. I try not to make any unresanble noise at unsociable hours. In this case it is only a food shopping delivery. Usually here and gone in no time.

Your house must be like a sieve if you can hear that much from your neighbours opposite! I can't hear a thing outside and I live next to an airport!

Or because it's hot he has his windows open? There will be nothing between them to filter or absorb any sound.

Shut the windows and buy a fan?

Fans don't cool a room and then you have the sound of a fan to contend with...you then also lose access to fresh air.

Have you ever heard guys? The way the stuff moves in their vans, it’s like they’re working on some sort of industrial plant!

These people can't cope with vehicle noise, a fan would send them over the edge

Shopping deliveries are far from vehicle noise.

Live in a vacuum. That way there is no sound. Or air.

In Scam's neighbour's house, no one can hear you scream?

Tbh, I curse the bin men arriving at 7am on the dot, and that's a weekday (why, oh why, do we have to be right at the start of their round?), so I can sympathise with op.

You wanna be thankful you even have binmen coming round. We’re having a nightmare here with industrial action. Council wanted everyone to keep all their rubbish indoors for 3 weeks while they tried to resolve the situation.

 

[norm]

People must have had vastly different upbringings to think making a noise at the weekend before 9am is acceptable. Just sheer ignorance and stubborn mindedness really. But hey, that's the way society is heading, every man, woman and however else you want to identify yourself as for themselves.
